Black Ops Cold War developers talk about DOA origins and what’s new in Rise of the Mamaback

Developers describe DOA as, “What started out as a fun little side project-turned-hidden mode has evolved into one of our favorite traditions of the Black Ops series.

Talking about his brainchild, David King said, “Dead Ops Arcade was inspired by the type of games that I used to enjoy during my childhood in the ‘80s. The mode started off as a simple homage to classic arcade games, and things just kept getting wilder from there. The dedication that our fans continue to show to DOA inspires us to keep pushing this mode into new places.”
