Treyarch today added a new feature to Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Black Ops, and it’s called the Mule Kick Perk-A-Cola. You can now drink your cola to gain 3 weapons and to be able to switch them on the fly. This means you can get higher in Black Ops’ Zombie mode. To celebrate, Treyarch released a music video to accompany the announcement:
To see the Mule Kick in action, check out this quick look at the feature:
Well, what you waiting for? It’s available on all Zombie Maps now.
As reported before, an Evaluation Orientation is on-going. Well, today, Activision revealed what that orientation is about. The lab was testing the zombies’ ability to take whatever humans throws at them – testing their orientation of mental stability…
But then, they advertise that Rezurrection is available on Xbox 360, coming soon on September 22nd to PC and PlayStation 3. Are you ready annihilate zombies into oblivion?
This mysterious trailer just popped up on the Call of Duty youtube channel… nobody really knows what it is. Maybe a new Downloadable Content incoming? They just released 4 different Map Packs!
If Activision takes that video down, use this back-up, instead:
We’ll know more about what this teaser video is about soon. At least that’s what the video says.
Treyarch released a trailer about the recently released downloadable content for Black Ops, called Rezurrection. This trailer is more of a teaser of what the Map Pack is about…
The 4th Map Pack dubbed Rezurrection is on Xbox Live first, I assume it will come to PS3 and PC on September 23rd.
As reported before, what started as a rumor, is now official: Map Pack 4 is coming. It will be called Rezurrection. It seems like a play on the word Resurrection.
Not only has it been made official, Treyarch released a Behind the Scenes video of the new Map Pack. As it has been with past Map Packs, Rezurrection is timed exclusive to Xbox 360, so PS3 and PC players will be able to buy and play it within the next month.
Just want to note that this map pack is actually the same maps that are found in the Black Ops Hardened or Prestige Editions, making the “extras” part of the package “free.” The Map Pack releases August 23rd. Are you ready to resurrect the zombies from the ashes?
Ahead of the July 28th release of Annihilation for PS3, and PC, Treyarch released a patch update. It’s quite a small one.
7/26/11 (Patch 1.11)
• Security updates.
• Support for Annihilation Map Pack (releasing July 28)
• Search and Destroy audio tweaks for planting and defusing.
Annihilation is activated in this update – the update actually implements the map pack well ahead of Annihilation’s release. [source] Rumors are floating around that the un-announced fourth Map Pack is also implemented in this update, possibly in conjunction with the release of Call of Duty Elite on July 15th.
Not only that, the release of Annihilation also activates Double XP weekend starting tomorrow. To see one of Annihilation’s maps, enjoy Hangar 18!
Online Service for the Call of Duty Community Opens Worldwide Xbox 360 Beta on Call of Duty: Black Ops
July 14, 2011 – Call of Duty Elite beta is live. The pre-release of this innovative new digital community platform, built expressly for the 30-million strong Call of Duty fanbase, begins its staged launch today on Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE utilizing Call of Duty: Black Ops. The beta will be activated in phases for feature testing, with limited invitations rolling out in the coming weeks.
Call of Duty Elite will officially debut this fall as an integral part of Activision Publishing, Inc.’s hotly anticipated release, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, on November 8th. The 2.8 million Call of Duty gamers who have already registered to participate will now have the opportunity to connect, compete and improve in this evolution of the Call of Duty multi-player experience.
“Call of Duty Elite is all about connecting our amazing fans around the globe in ways never before possible and we are excited to get their feedback so they can help us further develop, tune and test the service, as we head into our launch in November with Modern Warfare 3,” says Chacko Sonny, Studio Head, Beachhead Studio. “A public beta with the massive Call of Duty community is the best way to generate the scale we need for end-to-end testing. While Call of Duty Elite will continue to evolve post-launch, we want to deliver the most polished, complete and rigorously tested service possible on day one. We’re looking to get as many participants in the beta as possible, so we ask that fans stay patient as we ramp up in the coming weeks.”
Call of Duty Elite will super charge the Call of Duty experience in three key ways:
Connect: Call of Duty Elite gives players unprecedented control over their multiplayer experience. This is a true social gaming platform. Players can compete against friends, gamers of similar skill levels or interests, join groups and clans, and play in organized competitions. They can also track the performance, progress and activity of their personal network, both in the game itself as well as via custom mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android smart phones, tablets and on the web.
Compete: Call of Duty Elite hosts events and competitions for players of all skill levels on a regular basis; both in-game and real-world prizes will be awarded across the Call of Duty Elite player roster when the service goes live on November 8th.
Improve: Call of Duty Elite is ground zero for anyone who wants to improve their in-game skills. It dynamically tracks player statistics and performance down to the finest detail. It can show gamers how they compare to their friends or other players community-wide. The user-friendly tools and data will give gamers the insights they need to up their kill/death ratio in no time.
The Call of Duty Elite beta will test select features and functionality, including stat tracking, the use of custom player groups, competitive events and video sharing. A major upgrade of new features will come to Call of Duty Elite at its official launch this November.
When it launches, Call of Duty Elite will offer fans an unrivaled experience by providing “always-on,” universal communication between the service and the game. Players will be able to access the service anywhere, anytime via mobile, tablet, web or inside the console game itself. As they do, they will see how Call of Duty Elite brings their Call of Duty experience to life like never before. Schedule a match with friends on the fly, change a weapon load-out or research a new gameplay strategy from your desk at work, the train ride home, or anywhere else, and have it ready and waiting for you in-game when you get home and play.
Call of Duty Elite will also offer members exclusive, all-new entertainment programs created by top Hollywood talent, exclusively for the Call of Duty community. More information on this content to come soon.
Premium members of Call of Duty Elite will also receive all downloadable content for the new blockbuster title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. From all-new maps to themed content, if it’s downloadable content, Call of Duty Elite members will get it.
Plus, when the new service rolls-out with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, players will be able to enjoy a level of unprecedented clan support. With a focus on competition, imagine players finally being able to create their own personal experience just like a fantasy football or baseball league in Call of Duty that includes anyone and everyone from close friends to new contacts, who simply share similar gaming abilities.
