Backstory
While trying to escape Shangri-La, the four discover a hidden, abandoned teleporter. They use it, and are sent back in time. They reach their desitination: New York City, 1968. They find it destroyed and abondoned. Richtofen realizes they must have teleported into an alternate dimension, where Germany had mass-produced the Wunderwaffe-DG2 and unleashed the zombies. Zombies begin to head toward the four, who begin to fight while trying to peace together the history that has happened.

Overwiew
Universum der Toten is a large map, containing nine rooms and several outdoor areas. The first room has two doors. The left side leads to four rooms, and the right side leads to three rooms and some outdoor areas. Both ways lead to the power room. Once the power is turned on, the lights are turned on and perk machines are activated. To reach the Pack-a-Punch room, the team must destroy five lamps that are randomly spawned across the map. After destroying the lamps, a trap door is opened in the power room that leads to the Pack-a-Punch machine.

A new feature is introduced, the Train. All four players can enter the train at the same time. Players can choose the destination, and the train heads there. The train links the map together. To ride the train costs 1000 points.

A new Wonder Weapon is introduced, the Air Cannon. The Air Cannon fires a blast of air, destroying all the zombies in front of the blast. Each time it hits a zombie an explosion occurs, creating splash damage and can destroy whole hordes of zombies. Pack-a-Punched it becomes the Air Blaster 115, which increases its number of rounds and power.

There is also a new perk, called Gatornade. Gatornade acts similar to the perk Dange Close in Modern Warfare 2. All explosive devices and launchers are increased in power. This also increases the power of the Air Cannon. The grenade's throwing distance is increased.
