Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - New 'Origins' Zombie Map Cinematic Cutscene Teaser Released [Trailer Inside]

Yesterday a new Black Ops 2 trailer went up on the Call of Duty YouTube channel, it's a short cinematic intro for the up coming Apocalypse DLC (map pack 4) and gives us a sneak peak at the new Zombies map, 'Origins'. I could describe the contents to you but I imagine you'd enjoy it more by actually watching it, so I've embedded it below for your viewing pleasure:

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Apocalypse DLC (Map Pack 4) Coming 27th August [Trailer Inside]

As summer draws to a close, we get ever nearer to the end of the Black Ops 2 cycle but just as we're all starting to get caught up in the hype of a new Call of Duty title, Treyarch have announced the fourth and final DLC pack of the current game. Titled as 'Apocalypse', this last DLC drop consists of, as per usual, four multiplayer maps (Pod, Frost, Take Off and Dig) and another brand new Zombies adventure, named 'Origins'. Now, I don't usually get excited for DLC drops but I must admit that Treyarch have definitely peaked my interest with this final set. I'm not talking soo much about the multiplayer maps, which by the way contain only two new maps this time, as Take Off and Dig are remakes of fan favourites from past titles; Stadium from Black Ops 1 and Courtyard from World at War (respectively). More rather the new Zombies map, which is rumoured to be the final chapter (figuratively speaking) of the existing Zombies storyline, where we go back in time to era of World War 1 and find out exactly how the saga began. I do talk a bit more about the trailer further down (mainly Zombies related) but if you'd rather watch it for yourself (which I highly recommend you do), you can find it embedded below for your convenience.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Vengeance DLC (Map Pack 3) Now Out For PS3 [Trailer Inside]

First off happy first of August everyone and now down to business, as you might've seen in an article from last month, Black Ops 2 released it's third DLC pack titled 'Vengeance', which features four new multiplayer maps and one new Zombies adventure. The four multiplayer maps are called: Cove, Detour, Rush and Uplink (a remake of the Black Ops favourite Summit) and the Zombies map is named 'Buried'. As per usual it was out first for Xbox 360 but now the one month exclusivity period is over, it's now available for download on the PS3.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Vengeance DLC (Map Pack 3) - Coming 2nd July [Reveal Trailer Inside]

 
The third Black Ops 2 DLC comes in the form of 'Vengeance' and will be released on the 2nd of July and as per usual, will appear first on Xbox, then one month after on other platforms. This latest pack contains four new multiplayer maps: Cove, Detour, Rush and Uplink, the last map is in fact a re-make of the popular CoD: Black Ops map, Summit. In addition to those multiplayer maps, there's of course also one new Zombies map, titled as 'Buried', this adventure brings back the four original characters featured in the Tranzit map and has them fighting zombies in an underground Wild West town. But that's not all, this DLC drop will once again come with a new weapon, though instead of being for multiplayer, it's an exclusive to the Zombies game mode. It's come as a bit of surprise to have another new weapon added to the game, let alone one that can only be used in Zombies but apparently Treyarch feel there's enough of a demand for it and so they've introduced the 'Ray Gun Mark II'. It does look pretty cool but what I want to know is, how well does it kill zombies? Anyway, I've embedded the reveal trailer below, so you can see for yourself what the pack has to offer, enjoy.

PS3 To Get Free Trial of Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC, Starts 20th June 2013 *Updated*

Last month Black Ops 2 players on Xbox 360 were granted a free trial of the first map pack DLC, Revolution and this month it's the turn of the PS3 players. Currently it's unclear whether we'll be able to sample everything in the DLC i.e. the multiplayer maps, new multiplayer weapon (the Peacekeeper) and the Zombies map (Die Rise) or just certain parts. Also there's no indication of how long this trial will run for and whether we have to download the entire pack, even if we're only interested in one particular part of the DLC. Either way, the trial starts tomorrow (Thursday 20th June), so we'll find out soon enough, here's hoping we get to try everything ^_^

New 'Mob of the Dead' Zombies Trailer Released - Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

Following on from the initial Uprising DLC reveal trailer and then the behind the scenes video of the new zombies map, Treyarch have released a new trailer, dedicated solely to the 'Mob of the Dead'. In the trailer we are shown some of the new Zombie types (possibly just aesthetically different but who knows?) as well as given glimpses of various locations and features within the new map. There's a couple cool new traps in the form of an acid sprinkler and circular saw blades, then there's at least one new bonus pick up item (I assume dropped by Zombies) and then the trailer ends with a sneak preview of one possible ending for the map. It could be that this new map is the first ever Zombies map with an actual plot line, which if followed all the way to the end, could result in an actual escape from the un-dead! [No more getting bored and committing suicide XD]. Official trailer after the break.

Behind the Scenes Video of 'Mob of the Dead' - New Zombies Map (from Pack 2) - Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

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 Replacers - Uprising DLC Trailer - Map Pack 2 - Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

 
If you're starting to get tired of the maps on Black Ops 2, you'll be glad to hear that map pack two is on it's way. Dubbed 'Uprising', it will contain 4 new multiplayer maps (Magma, Encore, Vertigo and Studio) and 1 new Zombie map, called 'Mob of the Dead'. In this funny new trailer featuring the popular 'Replacer' character and his new partner, you don't really get to see much of the new maps, just some scenes flashing by quickly near the end of the video but it's still definitely worth checking out. Apparently one of the new multiplayer maps (Studio) is a remake of the popular Black Ops Firing Range map but until it's released we won't know how similar it will play, if at all. If you want to learn a bit more about the new zombies map, check out this other article for a behind the scenes special on Mob of the Dead video.

Mass Effect 3 Reckoning DLC Released (Items Listed)

Yesterday night the last piece of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer DLC: Reckoning, was finally available to all platforms (European PC and PS3 gamers had to wait longest). If you haven't got around to downloading it yet, what are you waiting for? As with all previous multiplayer DLC it's FREE! Now if that wasn't already enough good news, Bioware have also issued every player with a Gift pack in the multiplayer store but these won't last forever, so don't leave it too long before you log on. Just in case you're wondering what comes in this last DLC pack, I'll break it down for you, there are 6 new character kits, 7 new weapons, 2 new pieces of equipment and 5 new weapon mods.

For fans of my Character Reviews (on the ME3 page), you might be happy to hear that I intend to revive the series for these new kits and will hopefully start my first write up this weekend/early next week (assuming that I unlock any of the new characters and have enough time to test them out).

I'm about to list the names of the new items and their rarity status, so if you want them to remain a surprise and/or aren't ready for a slight shock, don't carry on reading...

Mass Effect 3 Citadel Single Player DLC - Coming 5th/6th March 2013

Yesterday Bioware announced some very eagerly awaited Mass Effect 3 news, there is new single player DLC coming in the form of 'Citadel'. But that wasn't the only thing, during the same post it was also revealed that there is also Reckoning DLC on it's way for multiplayer. Both of these pieces of DLC will be the last of their kind for ME3 and while it's sad that there won't be anything else to look forward to in the near future, let's hope this means that the studio is gearing up production for their next title [*fingers crossed* ME4?]

When a sinister conspiracy targets Commander Shepard, you and your team must uncover the truth, through battles and intrigue that range from the glamour of the Citadel’s Wards to the top-secret Council Archives.  Uncover the truth and fight alongside your squad – as well as the cast from the original Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, including Urdnot Wrex!

Mass Effect 3 Reckoning Multiplayer DLC - Coming 26th/27th February 2013

For several weeks now there has been wide spread rumours and a general anticipation for another piece of ME3 MP DLC, well today or rather last night, Bioware finally confirmed that there is indeed new content on it's way. The Reckoning DLC for multiplayer will be the last of it's kind, along with the single player Citadel DLC, which will also be the final offering for the Mass Effect 3 title.

Apparently the DLC will be bringing new characters, weapons and gear to the fight. The post states the following kits: Geth Juggernaut, Female Turian Raptor, Talon Mercenary, Alliance Infiltration Unit and the Krogan Warlord. I don't think this is the full list, given that it ends with the words "and more" but how many more is the main question on my mind. I believe the 'Alliance Infiltration Unit' to be EDI from the single player campaign.
