Black Ops 2 DLC Revolution details, release date - five maps including Zombies map, Peacekeeper SMG

Out end of January on Xbox Live first

Happy New Year all! Hope you enjoyed your Yuletide hibernation period. Let's get 2013 going with the first, proper wodge of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 DLC, titled Revolution and reportedly down for release on 29th January. It's got a submachine gun in it called the Peacekeeper - a gun, sirs and madams, which Keeps the Peace by ensuring that everybody Rests in it. Also, more walking corpse shenanigans and a... skatepark? Cross-pollination with the Tony Hawks franchise, Acti?

As revealed by AGB, Revolution contains four maps - Hydro, Grind, Mirage and Downhill - plus the Zombies map Die Rise. MP1st has a preorder receipt listing a 29th January release date on Xbox Live (one month ahead of the other platforms, if rumour speak true) and a price of 1200 MP. Pretty standard stuff for Call of Duty, then.

  1. Yep, purchased the necessary points for a season pass earlier on. I've not really got into zombies yet, the one grief match I played was bloody surreal. Floor on fire, people in haz mat suits jumping all over the show, players being shanked and butterflies(!) floating out of them.. :? Erm.. I think I'll stick to standard online play cheers. Die Rise is a nice groansome pun however :roll:

    Hmmm..another SMG eh? I am a fan of them myself although I hope it's not o/p. There's a nice balance of pros and cons in the class. It would be a shame if the Peacemaker was a deal breaker aimed at pushing sales of dlc.

  2. Hope they fix the problem with the MP and Custom Classes (especially if you play Local MP). I reached Prestige 5, level 40 and after playing a couple of matches on local, returned to Xbox Live for a bit of MP to see a message that all my Custom Classes had been reset. I have lost Custom Classes 6-10 AND all my permanent unlocks as well as any existing level unlock tokens too. I don't know if it has affected my weapon stats, camo's XP etc as well... :evil: :evil: :evil:

    I had just bought the Season Pass as well!!!

    I may have to play through to the end of this prestige and reset EVERYTHING and start again! Really ANNOYED!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

    Mate, I'd be livid. It's taken me ages to get the time to play to Prestige 1 rank 39. If that all went tits up, I'd be letting someone at Activision know all about it. I responded to your message on the "Ten things we want from MW4" thread in more depth. Your gun data is totally effed mate. Bother someone on live chat on the Activision support page for Black Ops 2 and get it sorted. Having to start from scratch shouldn't be an option, your profile is an editable source given the correct access. I would have thought a techie could view your history and see that you're not a glitcher / booster / neer do well and sort your stats out back to normal. Hope it gets sorted, we really should play soon.

I reached Prestige 5, level 40 and after playing a couple of matches on local.. lol is this a joke? did u really think u could play local multiplayer and have that work of prestiging carry over to real multiplayer with real competition when u earned ur "prestiges" localy playing against ur piss poor friends? lol it doesnt work like that u moron. what u do localy is for ur own pleasures it doesnt count towards real multiplayer stats or prestige globaly.
