"You will stay forever!"

Buried is a Zombies map included in the Vengeance downloadable content pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The Green Run Group (Abigail "Misty" Briarton, Marlton Johnson, Russman and Samuel J. Stuhlinger) returns as the four playable characters. The featured zombies have blue eyes, meaning that Richtofen is still the Demonic Announcer. Buried features the Deposit Box and Fridge from Die Rise and TranZit. The map takes place in an underground western town, and introduces an "evolution" of the Ray Gun, the Ray Gun Mark II, that is available on all other maps. The map also features a new friend by the name of Leroy that helps in killing zombies upon feeding him candies or destroying rubble upon giving him booze. Within the second trailer for the map pack "Vengeance", a floating girl can be seen being killed and leaking purple blood. Buildables also make a return, There is also a new revolver named Remington New Model Army, a new Wonder Weapon called the Paralyzer, and a Time Bomb that sends you back in time, and a brand new perk called Vulture-Aid which allows you to see certain items such as guns and perks through walls.

Opening Scene Transcript
''A view of the Earth is shown from space, destroyed from the rocket attacks. The scene changes to Abigail "Misty" Briarton, Marlton Johnson, Samuel J. Stuhlinger, and Russman walking through a desert at night.''

Russman: Enough walking for today. We set up camp here.

They all sit around a fire.

Russman: In case you boneheads have forgotten, the world is broken. Very broken.

The scene changes to a zombie attack, in which four survivors fight off zombies near an overturned truck.

Russman: The dead walk the Earth, and what remains of civilization is at the mercy of forces we barely understand.

The scene changes back.

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: What makes you think we're gonna find something different at this "new place"?

Russman: I don't know that we will, but at least we'll be sure.

Samuel Stuhlinger: Uh, sure of what, exactly?

Russman: I don't know...

Marlton Johnson: His memory's going again!

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: Your name is Russman. Russ-Man.

Russman: That my first or last name?

Marlton Johnson: We don't know. You're just Russman.

There is a flashback of Russman in a city, walking in the rain.

Marlton Johnson: Anyway, you're a former operative from Broken Arrow. You've been walking the Earth since the, uhh... ahem... "incident".

Russman: Yeah...I think I remember... A town...

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: That's right!

Marlton Johnson: That's where you found us!

''There is another flashback. In Hanford, Washington, Misty and Marlton fight off zombies with dual wielded B23R's and a Remington 870 MCS. Suddenly, a bus drives up behind them and the door opens up, revealing Samuel inside. He offers his hand to them.''

Abigail "Misty Briarton: When we met, you already had your lapdog in tow.

Samuel Stuhlinger: What do you mean, "lapdog", huh? I'm the only one who knows what to do!

Russman: Don't talk stupid, Stu! All you know is whatever the German tells you to think.

Marlton Johnson: I don't think you're in any position to ridicule Mr. Stuhlinger, particularly given your own proclivities.

Russman: You better watch your mouth before you say something you regret, boy.

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: Enough! We need to remember why we're here.

There is a flashback to the four survivors fighting off zombies at the skyscrapers at Shanghai, China.

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: We've all been jumping through hoops for reasons we don't fully understand.

Samuel Stuhlinger: "Fully" understand?

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: Alright, for reasons we don't understand at all!

There is a flashback to the survivors fighting off zombies on top of the bus in a forest-like area, and later in a flooded street.

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: Point is, we do it. We keep moving, we keep fighting. It's what we do. Day in, day out. If you really need a reason why we do this, I'll give you one. We do it because doing something... Anything...

Misty cocks her shotgun.

Abigail "Misty" Briarton: ...Is better than doing nothing.

''The four survivors look off into the distance. It is daytime, Meteors fall to the ground, and there is a noticeable glowing.''

Russman: The rift is less than one day's travel. We move at dawn.

Marlton Johnson: What if we don't find answers?

Russman: Then we'll just have to ask more questions.
