Here’s a countdown of some of the most interesting new features you’ll notice in the new Call of Duty: Black Ops II video trailer for the Zombies cooperative multiplayer mode.

3. Some of the zombies are on fire. That will present some difficulties: You’ll likely find yourself dodging them as you gun ’em down.

4. The Tranzit mode features a map that you can progress through with each round. It takes you to new venues such as a barn, where you can fight.

5. The zombies are crafty; they slide off the roof of the diner to ambush you.

6. You can set up a shield to block zombies and then melee them with it. That saves ammo.

7. Multiple new human characters are playable, including a woman.

8. Don’t get overconfident: The zombies can climb on to the moving bus.

9. Flames, smoke, and fog can obscure the zombies. This won’t help your aim.

10. Clearly, this is a mature-rated game. The fountains of blood are a pretty good clue.
