‘Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ Gamers Could Rid The World Of Zombies In Less Than A Year

Advanced Warfare is the eleventh game to be released in the Call of Duty franchise, and, according to their website:

“Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare envisions the powerful battlegrounds of the future, where both technology and tactic have evolved to usher in a new era of combat for the franchise. Delivering a stunning performance, Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey stars as Jonathan Irons – one of the most powerful men in the world – shaping the chilling vision of the future of war.”

Yes, that’s right — Kevin Spacey potentially takes on zombies in the hugely popular multiplayer section of the game. Advanced Warfare players cloak their characters in exoskeletons which helps to enhance their abilities as they are pitted against a world now filled with zombies. The game is set in the year 2054 with the Atlas Corporation (headed by Spacey’s character, Jonathan Irons) attempting to save humanity from a cataclysmic event.

Fans have been very excited by the latest Call of Duty offering and it seems that if the world gets overtaken by zombies, all we need to do is look to these Advanced Warfare gamers for support. According to IGN and Sledgehammer Games, avid fans of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare have killed 2.5 billion zombies so far since the game was released on November 4, 2014. To put this into perspective, gamers have killed the equivalent of the entire population of China and India combined — in just over six month.

At this rate, if “maths whiz” at 4chan was right about his original theory on how long it would take survivors such as Rick Grimes to wipe out the walkers in AMC’s The Walking Dead, Advanced Warfare fanatics should be able to clear the world of zombies in less than a year. This is based on the math that 99 percent of the world population (current world population figures stand at 7.3 billion humans) would be turned into zombies and the remaining 1 percent of survivors would be able to kill ten zombies a month. So far it has taken Rick and his gang at least two years and they still get inundated with swarms of hungry walkers!

As well as this impressive kill rate, Advanced Warfare players have thrown 2.25 trillion grenades, participated in just under 224 million Exo zombie waves, and their weapon of choice is officially the assault rifle.

Have you played Advanced Warfare or any of the other Call of Duty games? Or are you planning to pick this game up now that AMC’s The Walking Dead has finished and you have nothing left to do until it returns later this year?
