What are Modern Warfare 3 zombie zones?

Modern Warfare 3 zombie zones determine the difficulty of the enemy you'll face during a match. For example, if you've landed in a low-threat zone, you can explore as a lone wolf and slay zombies with relative ease. If you decide to wander into a high-threat zone, cooperation and communication are required to defeat the more difficult opposition. As with all difficulties, the higher the risk, the higher the reward.

Treyarch confirmed there are three Modern Warfare 3 zombie zones:

  • Low threat
  • Medium threat
  • High threat

The developer describes the zones as how the difficulty increases during classic round-based zombies action.
