Last month I looked at the different ways of getting your hands on a copy of Black Ops 2 on release day, which is now less than a week away (Tuesday 13th November 2012). Ultimately, you have three choices: order for home delivery, attend a midnight launch or try and get it before everyone else. Black […]
As I type, it is a mere 7 days, 2 hours and 30 minutes until I will be in possession of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy, opting to pay a £5 deposit at my local Tesco so that I can get a copy at the midnight release. Technically I’m […]
Guess who’s bought a jet to a gunfight? That’s right. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) has popped up in the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops II trailer, which has been directed by Guy Ritchie. That may comes as a shock to some people but the gaming industry is big business and it is likely […]
Treyarch have made no secret of the fact Nuketown is making a return in Black Ops 2: the ever popular map will be available as a free download for anyone who pre-orders their copy of the game. Until now it has been unclear whether they are simply re-introducing the map, as Infinity Ward did with […]
Black Ops 2 ships with a total of 14 maps, namely: Aftermath, Cargo, Turbine, Yemen, Overflow, Hijacked, Express, Drone, Meltdown, Carrier, Plaza, Promenade, Standoff and Raid. Anyone who pre-orders the game will also be able to download Nuketown 2025 at no extra cost. What we’ve seen so far: confirmed Black Ops 2 multiplayer maps Of […]

We’re currently battling for survival in Division 8… but more on that another time. Jimmy Zielinski, the lead developer for Zombies, has […]
Before I get into this post I need to give credit to TmarTn, a full time YouTuber who is pumping out some great Black Ops 2 content right now. If you’d like to add to his tally of 703,000 subscribers you can do so here: Best Black Ops 2 videos on YouTube. Since you’re in […]
In an attempt to reduce camping, Treyarch have introduced a couple of new features for Call of Duty: Black Ops. First of all, players who use the Ghost perk will still show on the enemy UAV if they remain stationary for too long. It’ll be really interesting to see how this plays out as, in […]
Treyarch have recently come under fire for their choice of game engine. Whilst the likes of Crysis and Battlefield sport recently developed game engines, Black Ops 2 is based on the same system that was being used in 2005. Black Ops Community Manager David Vondehaar was quick to respond, stating that the engine has evolved […]
Even though I picked up a copy of the original Black Ops on release day, it wasn’t until Christmas that I played Zombies for the first time. Credit goes to one of my PSN buddies for introducing me to the best feature of a Treyarch Call of Duty title. If you’re unfamiliar with Zombies, then […]
Last week I posted up some Black Ops 2: sniper gameplay and asked the question – is quickscoping back? Now I’ve had some time to think about it, I think the answer is yes (sort of). As it stands, sniping in Black Ops 2 looks like a cross between COD 4 and MW2 which should […]
