    This time you’ll get first hand and legit information about what’s going on and not just guessing (I’m looking at you COD commentators). The trailer is embedded below:

  • Black Ops 2 Peacekeeper SMG Details Revealed

    Black Ops 2′s Game Design Director David Vonderhaar went on Twitter after the release of “The Replacement” trailer for the upcoming Revolution DLC Pack to talk about the DLC pack’s bonus weapon – the Peacekeeper SMG.

    The Peacekeeper will be added into the game via an upcoming patch allowing all players to pick up the weapon in custom and public matches but you will only be able to put the gun in your loadout if you have purchased the DLC pack making the system very similar to Battlefield 3. Also to get the Diamond camo for the Peacekeeper SMG all you need to do is get it to Gold after you have completed all of the camo challenges for the other SMGs. We still don’t know at what level or how the gun will be unlocked in Multiplayer or if it will be available in Zombies, guess we’ll find out in a few days.

    These leaks pretty much confirm the existence of the Black Ops 2 ‘Revolution’ map pack. As mentioned earlier the DLC pack will probably arrive on the Xbox 360 first on the 29th of January followed by the PS3 and PC although we’re not sure about the Wii U situation. Prices should be the same as the previous COD’s map packs at $15 or 1200MSP.

  • Black Ops 2 Tip: Select Fire Attachment

    In today’s Black Ops 2 tip we’ll be covering the Select Fire attachment. The Select Fire attachment is a brand new gun attachment to Call of Duty debuting in this year’s Black Ops 2. In lay man’s terms the Select Fire attachment enables Burst and Single Fire guns to be shot Fully Auto while Full Auto guns can be shot in bursts. The attachment can be very useful with some guns while completely ruining others. This article will outline the advantages and disadvantages of using the Select Fire attachment on your guns.

    To start off the Select Fire attachment is only available with SMGs and Assault Rifles so we’ll obviously be focusing on those.

    The MP7, PDW, MSMC and Vector are general low recoil guns, so using Select Fire won’t be of use. The Chicom on the other hand was made for the attachment, the gun’s fire rate doesn’t decrease by a lot and the recoil pattern stays pretty good, so I certainly recommend you use it with it. The Skorpion can also benefit from a Burst Fire mode as the gun has a lot of recoil while Aiming Down Sight (ADS).

    M8A1SelectFire Black Ops 2 Tip: Select Fire Attachment

    In the Assault Rifle category I didn’t feel any use of the attachment on the MTAR, Type 25 and M27. The FAL OSW and SMR benefit greatly from the attachment as its easier to get kills if your aim or trigger finger is not that good. The recoil on the SMR will increase a bit along with the Fire Rate on both these guns being slowed down a notch. With the AN94 I would recommend you learn to control the bursts as the gun fires the first two bullets of each Burst faster. So if you can learn to fire it in Bursts of two , which is very easy by the way, then you don’t need to waste a point on the attachment.

    For the M8AI I would recommend using it in Burst Fire as its easier to fire fast on the gun by getting your timing rite to oversample the fire pattern, there is also a lot less recoil in Burst compared to Full Auto with the gun. The SCAR-H can be used effectively with Burst Fire as it greatly reduces the recoil and back to center speed on the gun. Lastly the SWAT should never be used with Select Fire as it greatly reduces the range of the weapon as seen in this video here.

  • Black Ops 2 Tip: Getting Easier Swarms And High Scorestreaks

    In today’s Black Ops 2 tip we’ll be covering how to get easier Swarms and other high Scorestreaks. Now some of you expert players may already know this by now but most of you may not, so read on. With Black Ops 2 you get points for everything you do; capping flags, killing enemies, destroying UAVs, etc they all count towards your Scorestreaks which are pretty hard to get if you don’t play the objective.

    So my tip to getting easy Swarms and other high Scorestreaks is simple, equip two non lethal assist based streaks with a higher streak. For a Swarm I use the Orbital VAST, EMP and finally the Swarm. Now I’m a pretty average player and had only gotten two Swarms before using this setup but let me tell you that I get a Swarm almost every game now, and yes I play in a party if you’re wondering.

    Black Ops 2 15 s Black Ops 2 Tip: Getting Easier Swarms And High Scorestreaks

    With my Scorestreak setup you just have to get the Orbital VSAT at 1200 points, the EMP is just 100 points above that. So basically you get the VSAT and use it, the assist points will automatically get give you an EMP, the EMP will then go to work and all you have to do now is survive for a few seconds. The EMP is a score goldmine, you get points for destroying UAVs and other Scorestreaks along with Assist points for every kill your teammates get. After running the EMP you should get a Swarm in under 15 seconds, often quicker, and the best part about the VSAT and EMP is that they cannot be taken out so don’t worry like you would do with your UAV and Counter UAVs.

    Hopefully this tip will have helped you out, so try the lineup and let me know how many Swarms you get.

  • Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC Pack Is Finally Official; Includes New Weapon, New Zombie Game Mode And Maps

    The long awaited Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC Pack was leaked various times in the past few weeks but Treyarch have finally come forth and confirmed the DLC for a 29th January release on the Xbox 360.

    Along with the official announcement; Treyarch staff members David Vonderhaar, Dan Bunting and Reza Elghazi sat down and narrated fans through the new and exciting stuff in the DLC pack. Check the video below:

    The Revolution DLC Pack includes 4 Multiplayer maps, a Zombies Map, a new Zombies game mode called Turned and the Peacekeeper SMG.

    The Multiplayer maps are Hydro which takes place at a Dam in Pakistan, Grind taking place at a Skatepark in California, Downhill taking place in the snow filled French Alps and finally Mirage taking place at a resort in China.

    The Zombies map is Die Rise which is really special as the map will include lots of vertical gameplay. Die Rise will take place inside a crumbling Skyscraper and to survive the Zombie onslaught you’ll need to be always on the movie and gain the altitude advantage. Check the gameplay in the video above, its pretty neat!

    The new Zombies mode is called ‘Turned’, and as the name suggests you can finally, for the first time in Black Ops Zombies turn into an actual Zombie and hunt survivors. The aim of the mode is to survive and not get ‘Turned’, if you do get turned you can attack one of the survivors and you’re successful you’ll revive again as a normal human.

  • Black Ops 2 Tip: The Foregrip AKA Grip Attachment Doesn’t Work

    Well this tip is a bit disappointing. It seems that the Foregrip or Grip attachment as its also known does not work as it should on most of the weapons. I had my doubts on the attachment as its supposed to act like the Kick proficiency from Modern Warfare 3 but I could not notice difference while using it in Black Ops 2.

    blackops 2 570x320 Black Ops 2 Tip: The Foregrip AKA Grip Attachment Doesnt Work

    The Placebo Effect of sorts cursed to the Foregrip was confirmed by a user going by the name of Drift0r who often posts Call of Duty related tips and tricks. In his video (embedded below), he tests the attachment with various weapons. Most of them show no improvement in their recoil patterns while some of them like the AN94 and PDW perform even worse. The Foregrip attachment seem to help the most on the SCAR H which has the most recoil in the Assault Rifle category. View the video 5 minute onwards for the recoil tests.
