Call of Duty Black Ops 2 News: Revolution Trial

Good evening everyone, tonight I have some news about Black Ops 2.

Treyarch has released a timed trial of the Revolution map pack DLC for multiplayer.
What does this mean?

Starting today until the 28th of next week, you and other players around the globe will be able to play on the Revolution DLC maps as well as using the Peacekeeper SMG.

Can you play Die Rise or Turned? As far as I know, you cannot.

You access this trial by going to the in-game story and looking for the Revolution trial.

The Peacekeeper SMG will be automatically unlocked once you download the trial as well as the Peacekeeper emblem for the Barracks.

The reason for this trial was that Revolution seemed to be the least selling piece of DLC for Black Ops 2, so Treyarch released the trial, so the assumption is that players will try out the DLC and then decide whether or not they actually want to buy it.

Personally I don't think more people are going to buy Revolution, I think what is going to happen is that players who are informed on the situation will play the heck out of Revolution and then when the 28th comes around, that'll be the end of the Revolution trial and will continue to play the default maps and use their default weapons, I know because I'm going to be one of those players.

So this weekend may be a good time to try out the DLC to see what you've missed out on, I'm going to be using the Peacekeeper as much as possible so I can get a weapon guide set up.

What are your thoughts on this? Should Treyarch release more timed trials on other DLC packs?

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide:M-TAR Assault Rifle

Hello everyone, time for my first weapon guide of Black Ops 2. Today we're looking at the starting assault rifle, the M-TAR. History The Micro-Tar is a micro version of the TAR-21 rifle. It's designed to take advantage of a shorter barrel which means decreased recoil but increased accuracy. Designed for special fores units, it is capable of converting to different ammo variants such as the NATO standard 5.56 cartridge and the 9mm submachine gun round. It is also designed to be capable of attaching a Suppressor, as of 2009 a grenade launcher was being designed to attach to the M-TAR, the M-TAR can attach the M203PI grenade launcher. If you're a FPS veteran then you saw this weapon first in Battlefield 3 as part of the Close Quarters DLC, for COD veterans we saw this weapon's bigger brother, the TAR-21 in Modern Warfare 2. I'm warning you now, the M-TAR is not the TAR-21 we saw in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer Stats, Attachments and Performance In gam...

Retro Gazette Reviews:Batman Returns SNES Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another one of my Retro Reviews. Today we're going to be looking at a personal favorite of mine from the Super Nintendo era. Batman Returns. Story Music If you can't tell all ready from the intro video above, the music to Batman Returns for the SNES sounds great and does a good job of recreating some of the songs we heard in the film. My personal favorite stage music is from Stage 7 when you enter Arctic World, The Liberation of Gotham track sounds amazing in 16 bit audio. It's strange to review the music in a video game but the audio stands out so much and does an amazing job, again of recreating the films' soundtrack. Presentation The graphics and detail of Batman Returns is very good and ironically is much more colorful than the Tim Burton film. Gotham City, although currently suffering from a clown riot looks fantastic and Konami yet again does a good job of recreating scenes from the film, you see all these backgro...

Weapon Profile The Ballista is known as the FN Ballista, a rifle designed by FN Herstal in Belgium, the rifle was designed to meet the reuirments of the Precision Sniper Rifle program for the US Army.
