The Beginning

The Beginning is the term used to describe Call of Duty: World at War's four Zombies maps. It was created by Treyarch. The term 'The Beginning' was first used in the Remember When... storyline.

The events of The Beginning set the stage for Black Ops' Scavenger Hunt and all storylines afterwards.

Nacht der Untoten
Nacht der Untoten is the first Zombies map and kicked off the entire Nazi Zombies/Zombies legacy as we know it today. It is set in an abandoned airfield somewhere in Germany. It features the many firts of what became the greatest Call of Duty-based game mode of all time. Some of the features include; the Mystery Box, a radio that plays the game's soundtrack, buyable doors and weapons.

The reason why Nacht der Untoten is part of "The Beginning" is because it set the stage for future zombies maps and storylines.

Verrückt
Verrücktis the second Zombies map and continued the "story" from Nacht der Untoten. It is set in the Wittenau Sanatorium in Berlin, Germany. It features four playable Marine Raiders that now have the ability to speak during gameplay. Verrückt features new features such as teleporting Mystery Boxes, Electro-Shock Defenses, Power and Perk-a-Colas.

The reason why Verrückt is part of "The Beginning" is because it officially started the Zombies story and introduced one of the characters that would become a Zombies legend.

It features a musical easter egg by Elena Siegman and Kevin Sherwood called Lullaby for a Dead Man.
