Okay... I've just got X-box live, and I have been watching people online on zombies (as in watching them take on mobs of zombies while I stand there doing nothing), and I learned many skills. I will now share them with you. But first, I get the feeling that BO2 (heh body odor 2) zombies is somewhat easier than BO1 zombies. Well, maybe it's just that I'm always paired up with masters and I survive to round 53, but it seems easier to me.
1. NEVER, EVER crawl into lava or fire when you're down to be funny.
2. Always tbag a downed enemy on grief mode.
3. Okay, it is time to get serious: find an open area where zombies tend to spawn out of the ground, and make big circles around the zombies in the area (shoot them too, you'd be surprised that some people can only take direct orders, like "Stop at the stop sign... keep your eyes open too.") Then, the zombies will likely get into a big mob, so it's easy to kill them. This helps on the low rounds when zombies are slower.
4. Online, don't play hero. If your ally is down don't charge through a mess of zombies just to save him/her! Focus on saving yourself, and if your ally dies, he/she will respawn the next round if at least one of you survives.
5. Get Juggernog. That's all I can say. It doubles your health.
6. Bad weapons:
Shotguns: do not penetrate multiple zombies.
RPG: Heavy, slow reloading (though there is a way for faster reloading), but fun to use.
Ballistic Knife: Not high damage on high rounds; inaccurate.
Snipers: other people say otherwise, but most are heavy, and not good with a lot of zombies, unless the zombies tend to chase your allies.
7. Mystery box locations (teddy bear means it teleports):
Bus Stop:
Survival mode: just right by the doors leading outside.
Tranzit: I think every location has one (or two, in the town, idk)
Town:
Survival/Grief: By the fence across the street from the Olympia, and in the building where zombies jump out of.
Farm:
Survival/Grief: In the house, on the balcony.
That's most of what I learned. There you go.
