    Black Ops 2 DLC leaks with possible four maps plus Zombies map

    A possible promotional image for the first “Call of Duty: Black Ops II” DLC titled “Revolution” leaked on the game’s official forums Sunday. The image reveals four multiplayer maps along with a new Zombies map and a bonus weapon for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC shooter.

    The four multiplayer maps shown in the “Black Ops II: Revolution” image are Hydro, Grind, Downhill and Mirage. Hydro appears to take place at a hydroelectric dam while Grind is set at skate park. Downhill is a snowy map set at a ski resort that reminds us of the Summit map from the first “Black Ops.” Lastly, Mirage appears to be set in China as there are Pagoda-type buildings in the background.

    The new Zombies map is Die Rise which almost sounds like a play on words with the original Der Riese map and “high rise”. The background shows buildings half-toppled over but we’ll have to wait and see if that is something players get to enter or not.

    Finally, the “Revoltuion” DLC adds a bonus Peacekeeper Sub-Machine Gun which is an interesting choice given the amount of complaints from the “Black Ops II” community about how the SMGs are over-powered.

    No release date or price is listed on “Revolution” promotional image but we expect it to $15 (1200 MS Points) like all previous “Call of Duty” DLC packs and to release on Xbox LIVE first followed a month later by the PS3 and PC. There is still no word from Activision or Treyarch on if they are supporting DLC on the Wii U version of the game.

    Update: An image from a GameStop promotion poster indicates that the “Revolution” DLC will be released on Jan. 29. The forum post that leaked the initial image has been removed by Activision.

  • Black Ops’ first Map Pack revealed: First Strike

    Call of Duty keeps getting bigger, bigger, and bigger. In 2009, Modern Warfare 2 garnered 550 million dollars in sales – taking the throne for the best selling video game of all time from Gran Theft Auto IV. This is merely just in one week. Well, in 2010, Activision outdone themselves by racking up 650 million dollars in just a week, barely even a week.

    Activision and Microsoft made a deal in June. This contract between the two parties means that from Modern Warfare 2’s Map Packs on, the DLC’s that Activision develops are entirely time-exclusive to Microsoft’s Xbox Live platform. This means that for exactly one month, any DLC that Activision releases is exclusive to Microsoft’s green console.

    Black Ops’ first Map Pack dubbed “First Strike” actually the third Map Pack to release under the agreement between Microsoft and Activision. Treyarch, the subsidiary of Acivision released a trailer talking about the Map Pack:




    Treyarch released, yet another trailer, but only showing off the maps themselves, and some gameplay footage using the maps. It shows off some new gameplay mechanics:




    With only a day away from release (tomorrow is Feb 1st), a user managed to get their hands on First Strike, and showed off the Zombie map called “Ascension.”




    It will cost you 1200 or $15. What you get in this “Content Pack” is 4 Multiplayer Maps, and one co-op map for the Zombie mode in Black Ops. Treyarch says that the DLC is more than just a map pack.
