In the previous article I shared with you the new trailer for Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC (map pack 2), which contains four new multiplayer maps and one new Zombies map. Following up from this trailer, Xbox have posted a special behind the scenes video, which has developers talking about the new map and what it has to offer. Set on the notorious island of Alcatraz and inside the now defunct prison off the coast of Calfornia, you'll play as one of four new characters as you try and find a way to escape the rock. I'll let you watch the trailer before I list some of the things that I noticed.
- The developers actually visited the prison to "feel the environment"
- A slightly revamped HUD (probably just cosmetic but maybe some features yet to be revealed?)
- There will be "contextual music" for the first time in a Zombies map, different sounds for different areas
- Four new characters all with colourful backgrounds, all involved with organised crime in some way
- Voice actors are Ray Liotta, Chazz Palminteri, Michael Madsen and Joe Pantoliano
- Some (American) civil war era weapons, as well as various other time periods (most can be upgraded)
- Giant boss zombies randomly attack you and can temporarily disable perk machines
- New perk called "Electric Cherry", your character will electrocute nearby zombies when reloading
It definitely looks like a really fun map, seemingly more intricate than most previous Zombie maps and with a clear overall objective. I'm not sure how well you'll do with a bunch of randoms but with a few friends, I image there's some enjoyment to be had :D
