How to Make Your Own Call of Duty: Zombies Map

The popular video game franchise "Call of Duty" puts players in the first-person role of combatants, challenging them to survive the hazards of war while taking out the enemy in pursuit of some objective. "Call of Duty: Zombies" puts a supernatural twist on the premise. Players must take on the zombie reincarnations of undead Nazi soldiers. The game doesn't have a built-in map editor, but players who want to customize their own maps can download a third-party map editor to develop their own zombie-ridden worlds.
