  • Patience for Black Ops 2 Zombies reveal

    Patience for Black Ops 2 Zombies reveal

    The GamesStop Expo promised to be such a huge event next month because GTA V was rumored to be showing up, but that rumor was later squashed. However, there’s still plenty to get excited about because we will get to see some Black Ops 2 multiplayer footage. Now while this may be great news Treyarch has been a little quiet when it comes to a zombies reveal and from what we have been hearing, fans patience has started to grow a little thin.

    However, we do have to mention that those gamers waiting for more information on Black Ops 2 can feel happy in the knowledge that Treyarch has been sharing far more with their fans than Rockstar has with theirs in regards to more news on Grand Theft Auto V. An interesting article here has suggested that we could see some zombies footage during the GamesStop Expo, and even though you would not expect something so huge during this event the article does remind us that it’s big enough to show off some Black Ops 2 multiplayer footage.

    Do you feel that drip-feeding new information keeps you far more interested in an upcoming title rather than a deluge of details? We do find it funny how some fans of this franchise complain about the lack of new details for Black Ops 2 when the likes of GTA 5 has had just one trailer and two screenshots from Rockstar.

    Treyarch has hinted that the Zombie mode for Black Ops 2 will be the most ambitious and biggest yet thanks to improvements to the games engine, so you can expect to battle with many more zombies than you have had to cope with in the past – just hope you are up to the challenge?

    In the past Zombie mode was pretty basic in form, but we’re told that it will be far more complex with Black Ops 2 as you will soon be able to perform various objectives, along with partaking in wager matches as well. Treyarch has had to come up with more imaginative ways to make zombies more interesting and tougher because the main part of the game is set in the future. You may wonder what this has to do with the Zombie mode, well you have to remember that you will have far more sophisticated and powerful weapons than in the previous game from the series.

    There’s not long to wait for the release of the game, but before that we’re certain that Treyarch will treat us to some more spoilers along the way.

  • Call of Duty to launch in China as free online title

    Call of Duty to launch in China as free online title

    An online-only version of the massively popular video game Call of Duty is to be made available to play in China.

    Developer Activision has teamed up with Chinese internet service provider Tencent on the free-to-play title.

    The game will earn income through the sales of in-game items.

    Activision boss Bobby Kotick said: “We think China is one of the most exciting places in the world for us to grow our business and to develop innovative new games.”

    “We have worked closely with Tencent to create a game with broad appeal for the Chinese market,” he added.

    The game will also feature a storyline developed specifically for the local market.

    Public testing

    The game has been in development for two years at a games studio in China.

    According to the Wall Street Journal, it will be released for public testing later this year, following a regulatory review.

    The company said gamers would be able to use an in-game store to “enhance their weapons, gear, and perks built specifically for the Chinese market”.

    Tencent, which is a major player in the Chinese market, offers several internet services, including Tencent Weibo, a Twitter-like microblogging site.

    Its instant messaging service, Tencent QQ, has more than 600 million users.

    This is not the company’s first foray into computer gaming. It already runs several online games, as well as owning a small stake in Epic Games.

    Tencent’s president, Martin Lau, said: “We believe Call of Duty Online will attract tens of millions of loyal fans in China, and our game platform and operational expertise to run massive multi-player online games can provide strong support to deliver the immersive and highly interactive game experience.”
