It’s time we gave Jesse Snyder more credit

For those unfamiliar, Jesse Snyder is the creator of Call of Duty Zombies. Not Jimmy, not Jason, and certainly not Treyarch. In fact, Treyarch didn't want it originally and pushed back on it hard.

In this blog by Jesse, he goes on to explain how, during his spare time while working on World at War, he was developing a Tower Defense game-mode that drew a lot of attention from his fellow Devs, including Jimmy who was just an animator at the time, and only after leaving Treyarch did Jimmy take the lead going into BO1. The blog details how it went from defending against soldiers to, eventually zombies, and so on.

Have a read and start showing your appreciation for the real grandfather of the game-mode we have all grown to love over the years.

Thank you Jesse Snyder!
