What Is Dead Ops Arcade?
Dead Ops Arcade was a Zombies mode that debuted in the original Black Ops game, and with the release of Black Ops: Cold War it’s now on its third iteration. Unlike the normal first-person Zombies mode, Dead Ops Arcade is a twin-stick top-down shooter. The mode does still have the same objective as the original Zombies, which is to survive as many rounds as possible.
Players don’t need to worry about ammunition or reloading, as the weapon supply is unlimited. But you will still be able to pick up different weapons and power-ups to assist you through the oncoming waves of Zombies.
How To Play Dead Ops Arcade In First Person
The first-person mode was originally introduced in Black Ops II but was in the form of a power-up the player could use for a set period of time.
Although the first-person mode was added with the Season 2 update, it was only available in private matches. But now with the latest Cold War update, players can play public matches of Dead Ops Arcade in first-person for as long as their heart desires!
When selecting Dead Ops Arcade there will now be a ‘first-person’ option underneath the original Dead Ops Arcade mode.
