  • Fourth Black Ops 2 DLC is called Apocalypse, arriving on Xbox Live August 27th

    Black Ops 2 developers Treyarch have finally revealed what is to be the fourth and final DLC for Black Ops 2 called Apocalypse. The Apocalypse DLC pack contains four multiplayer maps which are detailed below:

    Multiplayer Maps:

    • Pod: A failed utopian community from the 70’s has left stacks of dilapidated residential pods nestled into an abandoned cliff side in Taiwan. Its residents long gone, the modernist compound now hosts frenetic combat as players must run atop the pods, as well as navigate their multi-tiered interiors for a strategic edge.
    • Frost: Fresh snow meets explosive gunpowder in this snow-capped European city, where the bridge over a frozen canal separates it into two sides, requiring players to employ multi-level traversal strategies to outsmart and ultimately outshoot their enemies.
    • Takeoff: Fans of Stadium from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops First Strike DLC will find themselves at home on Takeoff. Marooned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this remote launch site is all about close-quarters combat, combining tight corners with open spaces for intense encounters.
    • Dig: An adaptation of the fan-favorite Courtyard from Call of Duty: World at War, where two archeological dig sites in Afghanistan become the perfect playground for combatants eager for hectic, unceasing confrontations. Treyarch, has retained the spirit of Courtyard with two major chokepoints, a wide open layout and raised platforms, but has provided fans with a fresh take on the multitude of paths.

    Zombies Map:

    • Origins: a new adventure which takes place in “a Dieselpunk-themed First World War” and stars the original Zombies heroes. Unleashed after the Germans unearthed the mysterious “Element 115,” this next chapter in the Zombies legacy will explore the saga’s origins as players reunite with an unlikely band of soldiers that come together to defeat the greatest evil the world has ever seen, using a period-specific arsenal that includes Wonder Weapons that harness supernatural powers, a diesel-drone and Mark IV tank, as well a new perk machine and power-ups – and that’s just the start. Players will need all the help they can get to succeed in defeating the undead, as well as evading an unprecedented 1,000-foot tall robot abomination. In this stylized undead adventure, they’ll need every advantage if they have any hope of surviving one of Treyarch’s deepest Zombies experiences to date.

    The Black Ops 2 Apocalypse DLC pack will be available exclusively on Xbox Live on August 27th while players on the PS3 and PC will get it a month later.

  • Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 DLC Map Pack #2 ‘Uprising’ Leaked Details

    It’s April which means it’s almost time for the second DLC map pack for Call of Duty Black Ops 2. The first map pack ‘Revolution’ was pretty successful and worked well in Treyarch’s favor as they tried putting out new content like game modes and even DLC weapons which is a first for a Call of Duty game.

    The second DLC map pack will supposedly be called ‘Uprising’ according to the various leaks from the past few days. We’ll try our best is summing them up before the official announcement, which can be any day now.

    Above is the first leaked image of Uprising; we can read out the name’s out the maps which are Vertigo, Encore, Magma and Studio along with the Zombies map Mob of the dead. By the looks of it there won’t be a DLC weapon this time around.

    The image above includes a nice analysis by Reddit user Nobyl, click to enlarge the picture.

    cod black ops 2 uprising dlc artwork 2 Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 DLC Map Pack #2 Uprising Leaked Details

    And now we have above another picture via Reddit of the same pre-order card.

    The biggest info leaked is courtesy of YouTuber LiamFTWinter who managed to get some Uprising info from Xbox Live including the DLC’s full description and promo banner. The description is as follows:

    Call of Duty®: Black Ops II Uprising includes four incredibly diverse Multiplayer Maps: Magma, Encore, Vertigo, and Studio: a reimagined adaptation of the fan-favorite Black Ops multiplayer map Firing Range. Uprising also introduces Mob of the Dead, Treyarch’s most terrifying Zombies experience to date. Top Hollywood talent rounds out a cast of four Prohibition-era gangsters that are forced to fend off hordes of the undead while imprisoned on San Francisco’s notorious Alcatraz Island. While guard towers and new weapons offer tactical advantages, survival offers an unprecedented new challenge for these four lost souls.

    So Studio is a remake of the much loved Firing Range map from Black Ops 2, this is excellent news as a whole bunch of Black Ops 2 players wanted Treyarch to bring back the map like Infinity Ward brought back the Modern Warfare 2 map Terminal for Modern Warfare 3. The difference is that Treyarch will be modifying the map a bit or as they call it “reimagining”, exactly how similar will it play to Firing Range? We’ll find out when we see the map in action.

    Here’s the promotional banner that came along with the description:

    cod black ops 2 uprising dlc artwork promo banner Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 DLC Map Pack #2 Uprising Leaked Details

    The Zombies map taking place in Alcatraz called Dawn of the Dead will mark the return of famed horror director George A. Romero who is a prominent character in the Zombies storyline, he debuted in Call of the Dead in the original Black Ops.

    More information about the Dawn of the Dead is being discussed on the Black Ops 2 Zombies Reddit. This information supposedly comes from an Activision employee. Details are summed up nicely by Reddit user Zach34:

    Here’s a basic outline of things said, hopefully it’s legit:

    The four characters will die in the intro. They will come back in a Who’s Who-esque way. Buildables may play a big role, including building an airplane that is scripted to bring you to the Golden Gate Bridge. There is most likely a Pack-a-Punch around here.

    The Warden is like the Cosmonaut. He may lock certain doors, such as locking a cell. 2-hit down with Juggernog.

    Using an electric chair next to the pack-a-punch (since they’re ghosts) bring them back to the Island.

    For the Wonder Weapon, it’s a “directional beam”. Apparently you can augment it to enhance it.

    New perks will possibly be introduced. PhD may not return, but Deadshot may return. Apparently the Deadshot perma-perk is called “Heads Up”. Quick Revive may not make an appearance. Revive may not even play a part in the map. Instead, going down may give off a martyrdom effect. For a new perk, an electric burst may go off whilst reloading.

    The map is supposedly “huge”. Music may be present throughout the entire map instead of ambient noises.

    Separate areas may be incorporated, such as the different maps in Tranzit.

    Uprising should be out on April 16th, but the official announcement should be made any day now. So who’s excited?

    Update: Uprising has been confirmed.

  • Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition Coming To Consoles!

    That’s right SF fans! If you haven’t had enough of Street Fighter 4 yet, here’s another one for ya! Capcom is releasing their arcade-exclusive title “Super Street Fighter 4″ to home consoles. The new features in this game are very notable, mostly revolving around the new characters. Yun and Yang are in this game, the two guys who I never chose in past games because their moves being repetitive and clunky. The two major characters, however, are Oni Akuma and Evil Ryu.

    Fans of the series might be familiar with Evil Ryu but Oni Akuma is not known by many. Oni Akuma is the beast form of the fighter where his hair glow and he has a very awesome finishing move in SSF 4. Oni alone is enough to go buy this game, let’s just hope they don’t make a Super Turbo Street Fighter 4 now, I hope Capcom starts working on Street Fighter Alpha 4 now, that title needs updates!
