Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC

The Zombie level gameplay, Die Rise, begins in a destroyed hotel-like building. During your adventures, not only will you, as the gamer, need to escape zombies, but because of the unstable environment, you will also have to be on the lookout for buildings and infrastructure video game  dangers as well.

The game mode in Die Rise is called "Turned" with a diner as its locale.  The gameplay consists of one human against three zombies.  This is a fast-paced  game where your goal is to survive five minutes without being victimized by the zombies.

According to Zombies Design Director of Activision, Jimmy Zielinski, the zombie environment "brings a lot of verticality and risk to your movements....If you run and turn the corner,  the corner may not be there."  His advice is to  "Take it slow, find out where you are, and make a plan, and don't die."
