Call of Duty: Zombies Arena is a fictional first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch along with a few other developers and writers and published by Activision. It is a spin-off of the main games and focuses on the Zombies universe albeit without the traditional core Zombies survival or standard Call of Duty multiplayer. It instead pays homage to old school multiplayer-based arena shooters, such as Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena, and features characters from the Treyarch Call of Duty: Zombies Universe and other creators' works as well as maps, albeit very slightly reformatted to be multiplayer deathmatch arenas.
Gameplay[]
Similar to the Old School mode in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and fast-paced arena shooters of the past, Call of Duty: Zombies Arena's gameplay differ from the multiplayer features in the mainline Call of Duty games.
Players will spawn (both at the beginning of each match and respawn after death) with a pistol, knife, and grenades. Other weapons of different types can be picked up from weapon spawn points scattered in different parts of each map. Perks appear as power-ups and last for 30 seconds at a time and spawn in their own locations of each map. There are no custom classes but players are given the option to choose which weapon appears in the spawn points (their picks will not affect everyone else's desired weapon picks, only each individual player). There is no regenerating health and each player are given 100% health to start which can be decreased if the player's health is damaged or increased if the player obtains more health via different pickups such as Syrettes (gives 10%), Juggernog (gives 25%), or medkits (gives 50%). Max health can go up to 200% with, of course, 0% being the lowest. Players can also choose their own characters to play as. There is also a ranking and progress system that go up to 55 ranks and 10 prestige levels. Players can also complete challenges to unlock more weapons and characters and to help rank up faster.
There is no single player campaign but there is a separate offline mode called "Skirmish" that allows players to fight against bots and local players. Private Matches also have the same function but with the addition to invite online players.

Trivia[]
- The "Updated Maps" that had been added overtime were created by various community developers:
- The "Greedyselfish Content Update" was created by Greedyselfish.
- The "Roach Chronicles Content Update" was created by RoachTheIntelCollector.
- The "Zombiehunter115 Content Update" was created by Zombiehunter115.
- The "Eclipse Warfare and Anakin Nakamura Content Update" was a collaboration between Roach, Greedy, and Jenkins S115 SII. The latter of whom created the "Mansion" map.
- The maps featured in the Gold Edition were created by various community developers:
- "Dawn of a new Dusk" was co-created by Ebon Shadowshot and 900bv
- "A Universe Splintered" was created by Ebon Shadowshot
- "New Dawn" was created by guygoomba
- "Remember When..." was created by DeadRaiser
- The "Virus" and "Team Virus" game modes are Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch, respectively, but with AI Zombies added that will attempt to attack and kill players.
- The "Failsafe" game mode is a modified version of the cut "Global Thermonuclear War" game mode from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
- There is a Black Market in Multiplayer, which functions similar to Call of Duty: Undead Warfare's Black Market. There is no CODPoints or Microtransactions of the sort. Instead, players will have to complete challenges and rank up to earn Cryptokeys (or "Arenakeys" as they're referred to in this game) in order to purchase and unlock weapons, attachments, and characters. There are also no duplicate items as a fair trade-off to make sure players get something they don't already have every time.
- All the maps, weapons, and characters added in the content updates were added in the game free with no charge whatsoever.
