Gamescom 2012 fans, mark your calendars, because the multiplayer for Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 premieres at Gamescom August 15. Gamescom attendees will be the first to get their hands on the shooters multiplayer mode in Hall 6, booth A21/B30-A31/B30.
Now, obviously, there's a lot of us who aren't heading to Gamescom this year. Recognizing this, Activision will be conducting a live stream of the event.
According to a press release, "In collaboration with Xbox, Wednesday's World Premiere will be streamed live from Gamescom directly to Xbox LIVE ® online entertainment network for all Xbox LIVE members throughout Europe and in the United States and Canada. Hosted by Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson and AceyBongos, the world reveal featuring live gameplay from the show floor will be streamed daily starting on Wednesday 15th Aug from 5 p.m with exclusive interviews with the developers of the game. In addition to the stream on Xbox LIVE, the show will also be live streamed online on Xbox.com in the UK, CallofDuty.com, Facebook.com/codblackops as well as Twitch.tv/treyarch. The World Premiere content will be available in its entirety via Xbox LIVE video-on-demand shortly after the live broadcast in participating countries. Additional broadcast outlets will be revealed at a later date."
Said Thibaud de Saint-Quentin, executive vice president and CEO of European Publishing at Activision, "With more than a quarter of a million visitors expected over four days, Gamescom provides the perfect opportunity to reveal the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer to European players and gaming fans from around the world.
