Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies is Borrowing an Exo Zombies Trick

For better or worse, Exo Zombies from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was the most unique attempt at a non-Treyarch Zombies mode. While the horror-focused style of WW2 Zombies was somewhat memorable, Treyarch had done spooky maps already with Verruckt. Similarly, while the cartoony aesthetic of Infinite Warfare Zombies was a nice change from Treyarch’s serious storytelling at the time, mechanically the mode played just like Treyarch’s content. Though it produced weak maps like Infection, Exo Zombies did several interesting things, and it seems like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is borrowing a trick from its reveal.
