Black Ops 2 PC and PS3 gamers patiently waiting for the arrival of the new Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC will be pleased to learn that the latest DLC has now arrived on both PC and PS3 systems. Watch the trailer for the new Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC after the jump to get a glimpse of what you can expect.
New Multiplayer Maps
The Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC adds the Magma, Encore, Vertigo, and Studio multiplayer maps to the mix, with the latter being a reworking of the classic ‘Firing Range’ level featured in the original Black Ops. Each map offers unique environments and challenges that enhance the multiplayer experience.
– Magma – Set within a modern Japanese village, volcanic eruptions carve multiple paths throughout the town. This map offers a dynamic environment where players must navigate through molten lava flows and crumbling buildings, adding an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay.
– Encore – Taking place in the aftermath of a deserted London music festival, Encore leaves numerous opportunities for run-and-gun, close quarters combat. The open-air concert stage and surrounding areas provide various vantage points and hiding spots, making it ideal for both snipers and close-combat enthusiasts.
– Vertigo – A futuristic high-rise mega-structure located in India featuring dizzying vistas and multi-tiered pathways. The verticality of this map requires players to be constantly aware of their surroundings, as enemies can attack from above or below, making it a thrilling and challenging battleground.
– Studio – A contemporary re-imagining of “Firing Range,” the fan-favorite multiplayer map from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops. “Studio” is a Hollywood movie back lot with a variety of cinematic themes that range from Sci-Fi to the Old West. This map is a nostalgic trip for long-time fans, offering familiar layouts with a fresh, creative twist.
Mob of the Dead: A New Zombies Experience
In addition to the new multiplayer maps, the Uprising DLC introduces Mob of the Dead, a Prohibition-era Zombies mode map that takes place at Alcatraz Prison. This new Zombies experience is set in one of the most infamous prisons in history, adding a chilling atmosphere to the already intense gameplay.
Mob of the Dead features a unique storyline where players take on the roles of four prohibition-era mobsters who are attempting to escape the island. The map includes new weapons, traps, and a host of undead enemies that players must overcome. The eerie setting of Alcatraz, combined with the dark, twisted narrative, makes Mob of the Dead a standout addition to the Zombies mode.
Enhanced Gameplay and Features
The Uprising DLC not only expands the content available to players but also enhances the overall gameplay experience. The new maps and Zombies mode are designed to challenge players in new ways, encouraging them to adapt their strategies and explore different playstyles. The addition of dynamic environments, such as the volcanic eruptions in Magma and the multi-tiered pathways in Vertigo, adds a new level of immersion and excitement to the game.
Furthermore, the reimagined Studio map offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation, allowing long-time fans to revisit a beloved map while enjoying new thematic elements. The Hollywood back lot setting provides a visually stunning and diverse battleground that keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging.
The Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC is a must-have for fans of the game, offering a wealth of new content and features that enhance the multiplayer and Zombies experiences. Whether you’re navigating the treacherous paths of Magma, battling it out in the futuristic Vertigo, or surviving the horrors of Alcatraz in Mob of the Dead, the Uprising DLC delivers hours of thrilling gameplay.
