Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Uprising Map Pack Now Available On Xbox 360

The wait for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2′s new Uprising map pack wasn’t that long considering Treyarch’s last map pack, Revolution, was released on January 29 on the Xbox 360 and then a few weeks later on the PlayStation 3 and PC. Treyarch announced Uprising would be launched on April 16 earlier this month, and if our calculations are correct, this means today is the day Xbox 360 players have been waiting for as Uprising is now officially available.

As we reported when Uprising was first announced, players can expect to play through four new multiplayer maps: Magma, which is set in a Japanese village surrounded with volcanic eruptions, Encore has you playing through the aftermath of a deserted London music festival, Vertigo takes you to a futuristic, Indian high-rise and last, but certainly not least, is Studio which is a remake of Black Ops’ Firing Range.

Black Ops 2 Uprising Map Pack Marks The Return Of The Replacers

When Call of Duty: Black Ops 2′s Revolution Map Pack was close to being released, Activision knew you’d be spending a lot of time with the game, which is why they suggested you used their Replacer services. With the upcoming release of Black Ops 2′s Uprising Map Pack, The Replacers are back to help you with those important moments in life you need to attend, but would much rather be playing Black Ops 2. This time, the original Replacer Peter Stormare brought along a buddy to help with his replacing this time, actor J.B. Smoove.

As with the previously released Replacer video, you’ll be given a short snippet of the new Uprising map pack, but the main focus of the video will be some of the more humorous job roles the Replacers will have to take up just so you can get some more quality time with Black Ops 2′s newest DLC. You’ll see the Replacers making “Sammiches,” defending the public and fixing the cable to name a few of their roles in the video.

Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC Launching On April 16 With New Story-Driven Zombies Adventure

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…)

Halo 4′s Majestic Map Pack was the last piece of DLC content released by 343 studios, which was released just a few weeks ago. Before the game released, Microsoft had promised three additional map packs would be released, and today, we’re hearing some information regarding the final map pack, called Castle.

The Castle Map Pack for Halo 4 will add three new maps as well as a 6 vs. 6 playlist when it’s released. The three maps included in the Castle Map Pack are called Daybreak, Outcast and Perdition. The Daybreak map takes place in the middle of military facilities which includes an idyllic mountain range while Outcast has players fighting through the tunnels and arches of a secluded rebel outpost. The final map, Perdition, takes the multiplayer mayhem into the heart of an urban battleground. (more…)
