The Zombies Announcer is the title given to the entity that controls the zombies and gives aid to the main characters of a map such as the Wall Weapons, Mystery Box, Perk-a-Cola Machines, Power-Ups, and Gobblegum Machines. Every time a player picks up a Power-Up the Zombies Announcer will speak and if the Mystery Box moves it can be heard laughing. Usually the announcer both controls the zombies and aids the characters, but Revelations is an exception to this because the Shadowman controls the zombies while Dr. Monty is the one giving aid.

Trivia[]
- The color of the zombies’ eyes depend on whoever is controlling them. Their eyes are:
- Red under Dr. Monty, the Shadowman, the Warden, and Kortifex the Deathless.
- Yellow under Samantha Maxis, The Forsaken and the unknown entity.
- Blue under Edward Richtofen.
- Orange under Ludwig Maxis.
- White under the Avogadro.
- The Forsaken has the most appearances out of any announcer, with him appearing on a whopping 35 maps (4 round based, 12 Outbreak Regions, and 19 Onslaught Regions)
- Samantha has the second most appearances, with her appearing on 13 maps.
- Richtofen follows third, with him appearing on 5 maps.
- Samantha has the second most appearances, with her appearing on 13 maps.
- On the PS3 version, the voice is much deeper and serious than on the PC and Xbox 360.
- In Revelations, there are cut announcer quotes for both Doctor Monty and the Shadowman, implying one of them was meant to be the announcer for the map.
- There are also cut announcer quotes from (oddly) the Mobsters from Mob of the Dead.
- In Black Ops, including the updated versions of the original Zombie maps, the voice is more masculine and deeper.
- In Classified, whenever Samantha speaks, the subtitles read "Zombie Announcer" as opposed to "Samantha".
- In Call of Duty World at War the zombies have orange eyes instead of yellow.
- Both Mob of the Dead and Blood of the Dead reuse Samantha Maxis’ announcer quotes, however in Blood of the Dead the Warden will say “Fetch me their souls!” during a dog round and he can be heard laughing when the Mystery Box moves or when all players die in a session.
