If you’re a Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 player who doesn’t play the game on Xbox 360, then you know the feeling of being left out in the fun of a new piece of downloadable content all too well. For years now, Call of Duty players have gotten first dibs on new DLC, leaving PlayStation 3 and PC players in the dust. The latest piece of DLC, called Apocalypse, was made available on the Xbox 360 just a few weeks ago, and it looks like the time in the sun for PlayStation 3 and PC players is coming soon as Activision has announced the final piece of DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be released on September 26.  (more…)

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Apocalypse DLC Headed To PS3, PC Sept. 26 original content from Ubergizmo.

Activision and Treyarch announced last week it would be delivering a new map pack for its Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 called Uprising. The map pack will come with four new multiplayer maps and an all-new co-op zombies campaign called Mob of the Dead. The new zombies campaign will star four iconic actors who have performed numerous mobster roles, which is why both Activision and Treyarch decided to highlight Mob of the Dead in a new trailer.

Mob of the Dead stars the voices and the likenesses of Ray Liotta, Chazz Palminteri, Michael Madsen and Joe Pantoliano as they play four mobsters who find themselves trapped on Alcatraz Island. Lucky for them, they’re not alone, as the entire island has been overrun with zombies who want nothing more than have a meatball sub with the mobsters’ brains. (more…)

Earlier this week, a promotional image was spotted at a Best Buy which potentially leaked the next piece of DLC content for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The leaked “Uprising” promotional image looked to feature four new multiplayer maps as well as what seemed to be a new co-op zombies map called Mob of the Dead. It looks as though that leak was spot on as Activision announced the official details for its upcoming Uprising DLC pack.

The Uprising DLC pack will include new multiplayer maps called Magma, Encore, Vertigo and Studio, all of which you’ll see in the video above. In addition to those four multiplayer maps, Treyarch is also delivering “a reimagining of the classic map Firing Range” as well as a new “zombie adventure” called Mob of the Dead. (more…)

Microtransactions have become quite common in games today, which can be seen as a good or bad thing depending what side of the fence you’re standing on. On one hand, microtransactions can add to a game if you’re somebody who doesn’t have time to earn it yourself within a game. On the other, it could also hold back a good portion of the gameplay experience just so the developer could nickel and dime you. Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will soon go the microtransaction route.

Starting tomorrow, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will receive an update to offer a free Nuketown 2025 map, the option to download the Nuketown Zombies map and something Activision is called “Micro items.” These reworded microtransactions allow players to spend additional money in order to receive a number of benefits from the game, such as paying 160 Microsoft Points ($2) to receive ten additional Create-a-Class slots.

You can also spend 80 points ($1) to a “Flags of the World Calling Card Packs, and 160 points ($2) for a “Personalization Pack” that allows you to customize your weapon, Calling Card and reticle. Activision showed off one of the packs, called the “Bacon personalization pack” which equips your weapons in a delicious coat of bacon. We’re not sure why you’d want such a skin, but if it’s one thing we do know, it’s that everyone loves bacon.
