Hunting down Easter Eggs is one of the great joys of Zombies mode in the Call Of Duty series, from Ascension's Casimir Mechanism to the Alien facehugger in Shadows Of Evil.

Overall though, one of the very best hidden secrets can be found on the Moon map from the original Black Ops game, where you can follow a series of complicated steps in order to send several homing missiles on a course for planet Earth.

It's a pretty thorough process involving searching for a missing wire, killing a certain amount of zombies and playing an annoying colour-matching puzzle, but if you do everything correctly, you can use a Gersh Device to start the missile countdown, which results in a trio of warheads blasting into the atmosphere and heading for that pretty blue rock in the distance.

The best thing about this is that you can actually teleport to Earth before the missiles strike, witnessing the destruction first-hand. It's not quite as poignant as Modern Warfare's nuke scene, but at least you can be rewarded for your puzzle-solving skills with a close-up view of the action.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
