What was the BO1 zombies browser game?

The BO1 zombies browser game was a fan recreation of Kino der Toten, the Zombies map from Call of Duty: Black Ops, made by developer Luckey Faraday with AI coding agents and the Three.js 3D library. It ran in a browser tab with no install. Luckey Faraday’s projects said they had no affiliation with Activision, Treyarch, Microsoft or Anthropic.

What happened to Black Ops Zombies in the browser?

Black Ops Zombies in the browser went offline in October 2026. On 11 Oct 2026, XDA reported that Activision had sent DMCA notices against Luckey Faraday’s browser versions of Black Ops and Black Ops II, and the developer confirmed that all of the games were down. Activision hasn’t commented, and the notice itself hasn’t been published.

Why was it taken down?

Black Ops browser recreations are exposed when they reuse assets from Activision’s games. Analyses of the takedown point out that fan ports built from the original maps and models are easier to challenge than clean-room recreations. The same notices removed the Black Ops II project; our page on the Black Ops 2 browser game covers it.

Black Ops Zombies browser links still circulate on video sites and game portals, but none come from the developer. We don’t link them: nobody checks what was changed in a copy, and fake game pages are a common way to spread malware. Our guide on how to spot fake ports explains the warning signs.
