Zipline

The Zipline is the name of a lift in Shi No Numa and of two actual ziplines in Kowloon.

Multiplayer
It is only included in only one multiplayer map. It is in Kowloon (map). It has one small zipline and one big zipline both connected to one building. Each zipline connects to the other team's spawn point and they can only be used on the higher point. The higher point is located in the building so that you have to go the the building before you can zipline down to one of the spawn points.

Zombies
The zipline is a unique feature to the Nazi Zombie map, Shi No Numa. To be used, it has to be activated using a Control Panel outside of the Doctor's Quarters. Once activated, it goes to the Doctor's Quarters, where it costs 1500 points to ride up to the Warning Room of the main building. While moving, the zipline can kill zombies and down players. The Zipline offers a quick escape when the zombie horde becomes overwhelming. Players use it to exit the doctors quarters or the second floor of the main building. Players should be careful if there are more than two on it since players might get pushed off.

Tactics

 * Players often "camp" (A method used by online players when one stays in one spot waiting for the enemy to come to him rather than going to the enemy) on the zipline, two facing the front and two facing the back. It can be a good place to stay as the players are all close together, but if the zombies become overwhelming then the whole team will be in jeopardy.
 * When the zipline is at the second floor of the main building it is a good spot also to camp, at the back of the Zipline players can jump off into the doctors quarters swamp or run into the main building avoiding the zombies that were upstairs.
 * When the zipline is activated, the player must wait about 30 seconds to use it. Just like the teleporters in Der Riese, it provides a quick escape from the swarming army of undead soldiers.
 * The zipline is also good for regrouping if players are scattered.

Trivia

 * In the new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops, players cannot stay on the zipline if they are downed. It comes out from down under them.
 * Players cannot move while the zipline is in motion (does not apply to Shi No Numa).
 * In Black Ops, if a Semtex Grenade or Tomahawk is thrown at a player going down the zipline, it will often float in the air or come back to the person who threw it.
 * If the match finishes and the player is on the zipline, they will continue to move down the zipline.
