Nothing like a new Black Ops 2 map to tempt you away from studying for finals, eh? If you have a season pass for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Xbox 360, you now have the wonderous ability to engage the undead on a new map. Check out the trailer below!
Zombies and dubstep? Eh, to each his own. Nuketown Zombies were officially added to the season pass early last month. The map will eventually make its way to game versions on both PC and PlayStation 3, but a release date has not yet been given.
Black Ops 2's zombie mode marks the third time (which is the charm as I understand it) in the Call of Duty franchise for players to take on the undead horde.
The difference here is that Black Ops II's Zombie mode sports its own campaign along with the main story, a first for the series.
Unlike so many horror movies, the campaign actually addresses the origin of the zombie affliction, and how the famished corpses came to be.
Treyarch also expanded the amount of players for the zombie mode. Compared with previous Call of Dutys, where only four could play co-op, Black Ops 2's Zombie mode will support up to 8 players. Treyarch announced in August 2012 that Nuketown would be remade as a zombie map for those buying Hardened or Care Package Edition of Black Ops 2.
Since its release, Black Ops 2 has managed to gross over $1 billion, which is just another milestone for the shooter. Shortly after the game's launch, it was revealed that Black Ops 2 managed to set records as Amazon's most pre-ordered game ever. It also managed to hit a sell-through of over $500 million worldwide in the first 24 hours of its release, according to Chart-Track, and GameStop president Tony Bartel wrote that the retailer sold more than1 million units worldwide, and that "'Black Ops II' is shaping up to be our biggest game launch of all time."
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is out now for Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo's Wii U.
