Call of Duty Black Ops 2:New Map Pack "Vengeance"

Afternoon folks.

Today Treyarch has released an official behind the scenes trailer to the new map pack coming to Black Ops 2.

Vengeance.


4 new multiplayer maps, a new Zombies map and a new zombie weapon.

The behind the scenes trailer was released today and in the trailer David Vonderhaar announced that the map pack will come to Xbox Live first on July 2nd.

Let's start off with an overview of the maps.

Cove

 According to the trailer. Cove is set in the Indian Ocean with rocky terrain and lush foliage.

The map is surrounded by water and players will be able to bob and weave through the map to force the enemy team into the center to come across multiple lines of fire.

Detour

 Detour is a two-level map. Players will be fighting either on top of the bridge that supports long, medium and short range engagements while down below, there will be many short and medium range engagements.

Rush

 Set in a paintball arena where it supports multiple environments of combat.

The idea of the map is to push forward and don't look back to kill the enemy team.

Uplink

Taking place in the Myanmar mountains. Uplink is a remake of the map 'Summit' from the original Black Ops.

I actually enjoyed watching the gameplay footage of Uplink due to the dark and stormy atmosphere of the map.

I did like Summit a lot in the original Black Ops.

Zombies- Buried
Buried takes place in an old underground western town, the 4 survivors of Black Ops 2's Zombies story are back.

The map will feature an unknown character that players can either use for their advantage or will become their enemy.

New Gun-Ray Gun Mark II

The Ray Gun Mark II is the evolution of the famous Ray Gun.

It's now a true laser(according to the information from the trailer) it can fire through trains of zombies. Think of it like a collateral shot with a sniper rifle except the sniper rifle is a laser beam that fires through zombies.

Will this gun be available in other zombie maps? I'm not sure.



______________________________________________________

I'm not excited for this map pack, I'm not going to buy the map pack. I haven't bought the last two map packs so why start now?

Honestly most of these maps look and sound like recycled maps we've played on before.

Cove reminds me of the map 'Crisis' from the original Black Ops.

Detour is 'Hijacked' from the default maps except taking place on a bridge.

Rush is also a map that sounds like Hijacked except you're in a paintball arena.

And Uplink is a remake of Summit, I would like to ONLY get this particular map because I like the look of the map.

As for the zombie map, I don't play much of zombies anymore so I don't care for the map.

Don't let my opinion affect your choice whether or not to buy Vengeance.

If you want to buy Vengeance then feel free to buy it, you will not receive any judgement from me for buying the map pack.

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...

Hello everyone and welcome to another one of my Black Ops 2 weapon guides. Today we're going over the community favorite sniper rifle. The Ballista. 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. The PSR program by the United States Special Operations Command to replace all current bolt-action sniper rifles in use by US special operations to instead have rifles chambered for .338 Magnum calibers, Lapua magnum and Norma magnum calibers.
