There are 3 "Maps" to Zombie Mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops. They are Kino der Toten, Five, and Dead Ops Arcade. Kino der Toten is available from the very beginning of the game, Five is unlocked by defeating the single player campaign, and Dead Ops Arcade is a secret map that can be found by clicking here.
The guide below will be constantly upgraded, with strategies for each round coming in the later week. Have fun and let's beat the sh** out of some Zombies!
Kino der Toten
The first goal you need to have while playing this map is to make it to the power switch. If you can restore the power, you'll unlock the teleporter, the perk machines, the Mystery Box, a few traps, and ultimately allow yourself a lot more freedom of movement.
But how do I turn on the power?
Let me explain: You first have to make it through the cinema to the backstage. You can get to the backstage area by either taking the path to the right, or the path to the left. If you decide to take the path to the left, you can pick up an AK74U, access a Mystery Box, and also buy the MPL. The path to the right has the PM63, the MP40, and a Speed Cola. You decide which way you'll go, the most important thing is to get to the power.
Once you get to the backstage of the Theater, the power is located on the southwest portion of this (by the M16). You'll see the curtains on the stage raise, letting you know you have been successful. Also, the front doors of the theater room open up, creating a full open loop of this level.
Important note: It seems like turning on the power unlocks Gas Zombies... and these mother effer's aren't easy. Be aware of this.
How do I turn the Teleporter on?
You have to initiate the link in order to turn the Teleporter on. This is found in the backstage area as well, near the power switch and M16. Hold down the corresponding button until you hear a "click", then head back to the beginning of the level (the Lobby) to use the Teleporter. You'll have to stand on that weird looking platform and interact with it again to make it fully turned on. Once you do this, head back to the Theater Room to be transported to the projection room.
The Teleporter is on, but I'm confused...
The main use of the Teleporter is to transport you to the projection room. You'll find the Pack-a-Punch upgrade kiosk in this room. The most badass aspect of the projector room is the view of the zombies below. You can just sit up there and pick them off one by one, while collecting grenades off the wall and upgrading your weapons. Problem is, this only lasts for about 30 seconds. Also important to note that any zombies in the Teleporter when you use it will die instantly. Use it to your advantage!
What the hell is a Pack-a-Punch room?
Good question Roger. The Pack-a-Punch room is has a Pack-a-Punch Machine in it that upgrades your weapons. There will also be ammunition and a few pick-ups you can grab.
When do the Hellhounds show up?
They begin to show up after the 5th wave. They seem to come back every 5th round, although we have seen them only four rounds away a few times.
Best advice here is to find a corner, strap on your Shotgun, and blast away at their heads. If you are playing with a buddy, try to huddle up in opposite corners, so that you can cover each other while you are reloading.
Five (unlocked by beating the single player campaign)
This is the Zombie map that takes place in the Pentagon. There are three floors to be explored, the briefing room (top floor), the war room (second floor), and the basement (obviously the bottom floor).
Much like Kino der Toten, there is a power switch that you are strongly advised to turn on.
Where is the power switch in "Five"?
Calm down, I'm getting to that. It's located on the basement level, and is a whole lot easier to get to than the one in Kino der Toten. From the start of the level, open the door to the right ($750) then head to the elevator and go down ($250). Once you're in the War Room (you start the level in the briefing room), find your way to the elevator by clearing the debris ($2000) and take the elevator down once again ($250).
We were able to unlock all of this by round 3 one time, but it's fairly easy and a lot more common by round 4. When you turn the power on in this level, you unlock all the perk machines, unlock the ability to set the Def Con level in the war room, and also turn on all the Teleporters.
Once again, how do I turn on the Teleporters?
These teleporters aren't like the ones in Kino der Toten, and can be used as soon as they are activated via the power switch.
You mentioned the ability to set the Def Con level. Is that like Def Jam?
No. Don't be an ass. When you turn the power on you can go into the war room and set the Def Con level. What this essentially means is that when you get it to Def Con Level 5, you unlock the Pack-a-Punch room. In order to do this, you'll need to activate all four switches in the war room (3 of them are near the Jugger Nog, while the fourth is across the map from all of them). Once they are all activated, all the Teleports will lead to the Pack-a-Punch room.
What the hell is a Pack-a-Punch room?

Who the hell is this scientist-looking douche that keeps stealing all my sh**?!
Yeah, so he found you. He's what the game calls the "Pentagon Tech", and his sole purpose is to steal all your weapons. Don't freak out though, because he can be killed (there's even an Achievement/Trophy for doing it). Read carefully below for the best way to do this:
1. Keep in mind that the Pentagon Tech's hit points definitely increase as the rounds go on, and the more people you have in your party also means he has more health.
2. Claymores are your friend when trying to take this bastard down. Place them in large groups in areas you know he is headed, as they will cause a ton of damage this way, while slowing him down.
3. Rather than trying to reload, just keep two weapons fully stocked for when he comes after you.
4. Just like every other enemy in any mode in any game ever, aim for his head. It will take off a lot more damage.
5. If he grabs your first weapon, chase him with your second. Notice he is slowing down? That means he is injured. Don't let up!
I had the MPL with the M16 as a backup weapon and was able to kill him in round six (with a buddy of course). Regardless, this can be done. Just load up on Claymores, have full ammo clips, and get ready to kick some ass!
Dead Ops Arcade
There's really not a whole lot to talk about when it comes to Dead Ops Arcade. There are 40 levels, with special rounds every once in a while and a chance to choose your path every fourth level.
The best strategy here is to just keep moving. Hold on to your bombs and speed boosts until you absolutely need them.
Other than that... I got nothin'.
