Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies Fan Beats Map Record After 13 Years

A Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies player has achieved a new high round previously thought to be impossible. The dedicated Twitch streamer spent dozens of hours in an attempt to reach round 100 solo on a Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies map, becoming the first person ever to complete the monumental feat.

Call of Duty: Black Ops ushered in a new age for Activision's Call of Duty franchise, and while the game featured a rich multiplayer component as well as a satisfying and action-packed campaign, for many, Call of Duty: Black Ops is most remembered for its fun Zombies mode.

Now, a record thought to be impossible in Call of Duty: Black Ops' Zombies mode has finally been beaten.

Twitch streamer PromptTheStealthPatcher finally broke a record thought to be unbeatable in Call of Duty: Black Ops, sharing their achievement online. Even years later, players are still competing against each other in an attempt to break records in Call of Duty Zombies. Earlier this week, the streamer reached round 100 on Call of Duty: Black Ops' Call of the Dead Zombies map. The map was added to Black Ops as a separate DLC after the game's release and is one of the largest and toughest maps to play. Getting to round 100 is impressive on its own, but the player managed to do so completely solo.

This massive achievement has been 13 years in the making and took the streamer a whopping 61 hours to complete. Call of the Dead is a challenging map due to its limited arsenal of «Wonder Weapons» and harsh environment. The map also features a zombified version of legendary movie director George Romero, who chases players during the match. While thought to be impossible, this record was achieved thanks to a new strategy.
