The countdown has finally struck zero, Xbox 360 users can now download the ‘Revolution’ DLC from Xbox LIVE. Here are the details on the new DLC. 

 

This marks the first DLC Map Pack for ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II’. As Activision states in their press-release, “The revolution has begun!”. This is the first of four DLC packs that are scheduled to release for the game. The DLC will give players four new multiplayer that span across the globe. Players will also get the new Zombies map “Die Rise.”

 

A few “franchise firsts” are being offered in the game including a brand-new Zombies mode “Turned,” which turns the tables and allows gamers to play as a zombie, as well as a new bonus multiplayer weapon, the “Peacekeeper”. The DLC is a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360. Players have the option of purchasing Revolution individually, or pick it up as part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC Season Pass set.

 



 

“Revolution is packed with a ton of fun,” said Mark Lamia, Treyarch’s Studio Head. “We worked incredibly hard to deliver the most expansive DLC offering in our studio’s history: from four maps in exciting and dynamic new locations like skate parks and ski slopes, to being able to play as a zombie, and a new bonus weapon in multiplayer – Revolution is a wild ride, and we’re excited for Call of Duty fans to start playing.”

 

One of the new maps “Downhill” is a snowy alpine chateau perfect for hectic close-quarters combat. “Mirage” is a sand-devastated luxury villa suited for all play styles, while “Hydro” is a massive hydroelectric dam in Pakistan lined with long-range vantage points perfect for sniping. And “Grind” is a skate park in Venice Beach, where players must adapt to the map’s unique ramps, bowls and curvatures as they try and take cover from enemy fire. In a press-release confirming the DLC availability, Activision talked about the new Zombie content:

Zombies fans get a terrifying double-dose of undead action in Revolution. First, the new map, “Die Rise,” drops players inside a maze of crumbling skyscrapers amidst a ravaged Chinese city, where all-new Wonder Weaponry will play a crucial role as they make a valiant stand against the impending zombie hoard. Additionally, Revolution’s innovative new Zombies mode, “Turned,” flips this new fan-favourite mode around, allowing players to become the undead and play as a zombie, offering an entirely new style of bragging rights.

 

Rounding out the wide breadth of new content in Revolution is the “Peacekeeper,” a one-time offering of a new multiplayer weapon planned for Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Revolution is out now, exclusively on Xbox LIVE for a suggested retail price of 1200 Microsoft Points.
