Call of Duty: Black Ops’ Anti-Zombie modes have been enormously successful, and that leads to some very dedicated fans:

A group of Call of Duty fans have put together a short fan film, based on the “Nazi Zombie” mode from Treyarch’s last two Call of Duty titles. As you might expect from a game that involves an endless stream of undead fascists, it does not end in smiles and kittens.

First of all, how do you know they’re all fascists? I think it’s an overgeneralization to say that everyone who fought in the German military during WWII was a Nazi or a fascist; they did have conscription you know.

Does anyone ask the Zombies to surrender and then inquire as to their political views? Of course not.

The video itself is extremely professional and highly disturbing, and the effect of translating the game’s Anti-Zombiism to another medium is striking:

To anyone who found it disturbing to see their videogame violence re-enacted with such real-life verisimilitude, guns pointed directly in faces, blasting away: congratulations. That’s what it’s like for the ZRC *every single time* we have to review these Anti-Zombie works.

Welcome to Sympathyland.

Maybe after seeing this video people will think twice about playing Call of Duty, or at least the Anti-Zombie game modes.
