What do Tank Dempsey, Cowboy Bebop's Spike Spiegal, and Samurai Champloo's "Mugen" character have in common?They are all bad asses? (Yes)They are all a little crazy? (Absolutely)They are all voiced by the same actor? (YEP! Steve Blum!)So lets say you stick all three in a room armed only with their favorite weapon and give them 3 minutes...Who comes out alive and why?

Update:You can now download a high resolution version of "The One" on the main Treyarch website!The OneI should point out that this version is NOT what has been out there recently...those were either game rips (who knows by which process) or were from the video. This is a fully mastered high quality version mixed for listening outside of the game.Enjoy!

So Map Pack 3 has been announced and is on its way to you! We're all really excited about it---some of my favorite MP maps find their way into this map pack...and of course, Der Riese...or "The Giant".A lot of you guessed correctly that you may be fighting the zombie hordes off at Der Riese! So congrats to those who figured it out.The map pack is crammed with really cool features and of course

Hey everyone...glad you're all so involved (and the others in the community)with the story behind Nazi Zombies. Its been pretty rewarding for all of us to see you guys dive into the back story and these characters the way that you have.Most of our clues were buried in the maps, or were difficult to trigger. Some were just so obscure (like the Lullaby) that we thought no one would notice. But

1. How long have you be writing music?I’ve been singing, honestly, since I can remember, but I started writing songs and playing the guitar at about the same time, when I was about fifteen or sixteen. This is probably more of a question for Kevin, though, since I didn’t do a lick of writing for Lullaby or for The One!2. What kinds of things inspire you?For these songs in particular, I was

So here it is. If you have questions for Kevin, just ask below. The Elena Interview follows the same format...and should be ready 'soon'.1. How long have you be writing music?Well I've been playing guitar since I was 10 but I'd say I've been writing actual music for about 10 years. Before that I was writing crap. Haha Writing music is a very strange process in which you have to balance

So i've seen a lot of questions surrounding the Shi No Numa song, "The One". I figured I'd toss a post up here just to clarify some things...feel free to spread this around when people make comments (mainly because its hard for me to keep up!)Anyway, here's the long and short of it:1. Elena Siegman and Kevin Sherwood composed and performed both "The One" and "Lullaby of a Dead Man" for the Nazi

So finally, they got the Character Bio's up for Shi No Numa...it was driving me crazy that there were so many misconceptions about the VO thats been released.Check out the bio's hereYou guys are going to have a lot of fun getting to know these guys, and hearing what they have to say about....well, everything :)Which character do you think will be the most interesting to play?

You guys have probably already seen the trailer, but here's a link in case you haven't:Trailer - Shi No Numa, "TheOne"There's a LOT for you guys to discover as you play, both about the characters, the backstory, and the map...all while keeping the Gameplay just as fast paced and frantic as Verruckt (if not moreso).There will be more information released by Josh Olin (www.callofduty.com)that will

Man I love the internet. I found the picture above here. Go check out the thread. Anyway, only a few more days until the world finds out about The DG-2 and Shi No Numa. We're excited to get the trailer out there (and what you've seen thus far is NOT the trailer). Shi No Numa has a new theme song that is featured in the Trailer that I think is amazing. Elena and Kevin have created a new

Finally...I was wondering when that would happen! We've been hard at work and are polishing things up now. All new MP maps and a new zombie experience! Can't wait to get this one out the door to you guys.

So, we've got a older version of Jugga Nog that we didn't release (we preferred the version that's in the game). But I figured I may as well share it since its doing nothing but taking up space on my hard drive. We did some crazy filtering on the vocals to get that old stereophonic feel.Which one do you like better?

So we're back again with our final Jingle. Jugga-Nog. This is actually the one that kicked off this whole 'lets do jingles' for the Perks machines. Something about the style of the machine and the name "Jugga-Nog" really said, "YOU NEED TO MAKE ME SING!"Lyrics:When you need some help to get bySomething to make you feel strongReach for jugga-nog tonightSugar seduction delight!When you need to

Ok...Jingle # 2. Speed Cola.This one was fun. Just before I headed out to Brazil earlier this year, I was listening to a lot of bossa nova (you know, to get in the mood). At the same time, we were having trouble coming up with a name for the Sleight of Hand machine. I mean...that doesn't really sound like a drink.But Speed Cola sure did :)So, given the trip to Brazil, and the newly named

So, every once in awhile something like Nazi Zombies comes along to really challenge a sound designer. I'm not talking about gun sounds, or even zombie sounds...I'm talking about old school radio jingles!As soon as the idea for the Perks-a-Cola machines came up, the opportunity to do something fun was obvious. So, we licensed some cheesy sounding music, and our internal writer (Craig Houston)

Hey all...so the new maps are out for COD: W@W! We have put enormous effort into these maps, and we're all excited to seem them become available to you all.Sonically...well, there's a ton of audio in all of the maps, but specifically in the new Zombie map. We really wanted to scare the crap out of you, so we remade all of the zombie sounds, and mixed the level in such a way that you are going

But now, I'm back and we're all working hard on a lot of new DLC content for all of you.I can't really talk too much about it (NDA and all), but we're all really excited to be providing some new content for the people who love CODWAW.

It has been pretty damned amazing to hear from fans of W@W as they stumble on some of our more 'hidden' details...things like the Piano on "Asylum", or the ghostly whispers at the shrine in "Makin Raid."These weren't really placed in the game as 'secrets' per say, but are elements that we layer in to help create an atmosphere. I think its awesome that so many people have not only noticed them,

Audio TechnologyThe Call of Duty franchise has always been about great gameplay, great graphics, great design…and great audio. One of the reasons why the franchise sounds so good is because it has always tried to be as authentic as possible --from the full musical scores to firing authentic period weapons, COD has always been on the forefront of what you can do with audio.Call of Duty: World at

So by now, most of you have heard about the Nazi Zombie mode in Call of Duty: World at War.This amazingly fun little mode was originated by Jesse Snyder (our lead designer). You can find out more about how it came about on his blog.In terms of the sound, I've seen posts recently wonder what in the world the song that plays is when you 'die'. Most people liken it to John Murphy's piece from 28

There have been a lot of comments out on the internet concerning the music in Call of Duty: World at War. Most of it has been (surprisingly) positive, considering how unique the score is for the Call of Duty franchise. Its definitly not the typical musical score for a game in this genre, which was our desire from the outset.Luckily, we were able to sign our composer (Sean Murray) very early on.
