Call of the Dead Guide and Tactics - How to kill George Romero, Turn on Power

Posted in black ops

The new Zombies map called Call of the Dead is out now on XBox Live and PSN. This guide covers how to turn on the power, find the perk drinks and kill George Romero. We cover the new weapons including the one which turns zombies back into humans and also which rooms you should explore first.

Most of you have noticed that Call of the Dead is the hardest of the zombies maps in Black Ops. You need to be much faster and more efficient at collecting points because you'll need them early on. Using knife attacks combined with pistol shots is always the way to start.

How to turn on the power

You'll need about 3000 points in order to open all the doors to reach the power switch. You can follow the usual power signs (a lighting bolt) to get to the power switch. It's located at the top of the ship in a room which has a control panel inside. As you can see in the image below, there are yellow and green lights on the dashboard. Just press the usual X button and the power is turned on.

How to kill George Romero

George is quite an annoying zombie who's there right from the start of the map. He's pretty slow but carries a massive hammer type weapon (which is actually a studio light).You'll also hear him shouting at you saying things like "ohhh don't run away". If you shoot him, he'll run after you faster so you'll need to be fast. If he's not provoked he's actually quite slow.

You can't actually kill George Romero, instead you need to bring him back to life using the new Wonder weapon (V-R11). This gun turns any zombies back into humans. If you shoot any other zombies, they too get turned back into humans. Once turned, humans will be chased and killed by other zombies. It's a bit like the dancing monkey which distracts zombies on the other maps. If you can lure George into the water he becomes really slow giving you the chance to aim the gun and get the job done!

New Weapons - V-R11, Explosive Sniper Rifle

The Call of the Dead map contains several new weapons including the Wonder weapon (V-R11) which turns zombies back into humans:



..and the new high powered sniper rifle called the Scavenger:



This sniper rifle fires explosive bullets with precision accuracy at a great range.

New perks - Where is Deadshot Daiquiri?

The new perk in Call of the Dead is called deadshot daiquiri. It's a perk that increases the chance of you getting a headshot and killing a zombie out right. This is because it automatically aims at a zombies head for you. The drink machine is located at the top of the lighthouse (just follow the spiral staircase right to the top).

It saves on bullets and gets you more points. Not as good as juggernod or quick revive but still ok.

Where are the captured zombie prisoners?

The original zombies who were part of the movie scene are locked in the lighthouse and you need to rescue them. They call for help when you get close to their location. "excuse me is anyone out there who would be willing to help?".

As always, more information to come as we play Call of the Dead further..
