Fans of the Call of Duty franchise are left pondering the unfulfilled potential of Black Ops 2, especially in light of recently emerged footage that hints at a possible fifth DLC content expansion.
Black Ops 2 has secured its place as one of the franchise’s most cherished installments, thanks to its standout multiplayer modes, immersive Zombies experiences, and a gripping campaign. Following its original launch, Treyarch implemented an exceptional post-launch content strategy, making a strong case for the game’s longevity and popularity amongst its community.
The game initially offered four DLC packs, each introducing four new multiplayer maps along with a new Zombies map. Particularly noteworthy are the two maps, Buried and Origins, which have achieved legendary status within the Zombies community, still garnering admiration and nostalgia among players.
Recently, fans stumbled upon a pre-alpha build that allegedly contained plans for a fifth DLC pack, featuring an early iteration of Origins and an unreleased Wonder Weapon. This build also included a remastered version of Kino Der Toten from Black Ops 1, shared by CharlieIntel, which showcased five minutes of gameplay from this early development stage.

Mixed Reactions from Call of Duty Fans on Leaked Kino Der Toten Remake
The appeal of Kino Der Toten among Zombies enthusiasts is undeniable, leading many to believe that its inclusion in Black Ops 2 would have been a tremendous asset. Nevertheless, some players felt less disappointed since Black Ops 3 had already remastered Kino Der Toten as part of the expansive Zombies Chronicles collection, which brought seven other classic maps from the series back to life.
Responses to the leaked information reflect this divide; one player noted, “So essentially, this just became Zombies Chronicles. It’s probably smarter they pushed it.” Another added, “Good thing it didn’t, the BO3 version is godlike.” However, not all comments were favorable, as one user lamented, “We got robbed,” expressing a desire to see the remaster integrated with the weaponry of Black Ops 2.
Looking ahead, the future of the Zombies mode remains vibrant. Recent leaks suggest that a new map inspired by Tranzit from Black Ops 2 is under development alongside the return of the original cast, promising fresh content for dedicated players.
