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.
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!

July 15, 2011 – Call of Duty: Black Ops is T-minus 13 days away from launching its latest content pack on the PlayStation3 entertainment system and Windows PC with the worldwide release of Annihilation, the third DLC for the blockbuster title from Activision and Treyarch.
Call of Duty: Black Ops has shattered sales records and drawn millions of gamers online since its November 2010 launch, with Black Ops fans logging billions of gameplay hours to date.

“With Annihilation, the team at Treyarch and Activision has shown its continued commitment to bringing new and unique content to our fans,” said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. “Players are getting four of the best multiplayer maps to date with Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo and Hazard. They also get a brand new dose of thrills in Shangri-La, our latest Zombies offering, packed with deadly traps and dark secrets buried within the shifting walls of an ancient and mysterious temple.”

As I reported before, Double XP weekend begins on Friday, July 1st, but Josh Olin, the Treyarch Community Manager posted a tweet detailing this coming friday’s Double XP weekend.
He said that the event runs from this friday morning July 1st, to the coming monday July 5th. Although, usually they celebrate Double XP weekend on the wake of a new Map Pack, such as the recently released Annihilation, this particular Double XP is special because it’s Fourth of July on Sunday. So, to celebrate freedom of America all over United States, go rank up!
You can start racking up your XP with this particular Double XP weekend at 10am PST/1pm EST this friday, and it ends at the same exact time on monday morning. On top of that, the Double XP weekend is also open across all three game consoles; Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Have fun!

We are 9 days away from the release of Black Ops! It is a Call of Duty game from Treyarch. It will ship to retailers nationwide for Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, PC. November 9th is going to be a very busy day for Activision and retailers who plan to carry Black Ops. Are you ready? Because millions and millions of players are awaiting the release of Black Ops!
Call of Duty: Black Ops has been building up more, and more hype, which in turn creating more talk, more speculation. Recently, Treyarch teased about a huge multiplayer reveal. Yesterday, Sept 1st came and gone. What we DIDN’T know, was that the reveal was going to be from a press-only premiere event. I’ve seen some impressions already, so there should be a lot of information to look up. For now, you can check out the full multiplayer reveal:
Here’s what I noticed in the trailer:
First, the game modes are:
One in the chamber: Everyone in the lobby begins the match with a pistol. Each player has 3 lives. You kill someone, you gain a bullet in your pistol.
Sticks and stones: Everyone starts with ballistic knives, and a crossbow. You also have a tomahawk. If you kill someone with a tomahawk, they’re bankrupt. I’m guessing they lose the two weapons – and rely on picking up a weapon elsewhere.
Gun Game: I think this is an Old School match with a twist; you begin the match with a randomly selected gun. Every person in the lobby has the same randomly selected gun. The catch is, if you die, you lose both a level, and a gun you had in your disposal. However, if you kill someone, you gain a better weapon than you previously had.
Treyarch is dead serious about customization which is what you’ll be seeing from here on out; Treyarch is making the tagline “Compete, Customize and Create” as the slogan for the mulitplayer portion of Black Ops. One of the major changes is the fact that your XP is now known as the “Call of Duty Points.” They’re “money” in the COD world. This means, that every kill that used to net you XP is now seen as a bartering service. You can buy weapons, and equipments with CP. This means, if you buy a weapon or equipment, you’re going to have to regain that amount of CP to continue onto leveling up to the next level or prestige.
Create a Class: There’s a brand new create a class menu; every time you change perks, you change your character’s appearance. The changes are determined by tier 1 perks. If you equip the Flak Jacket perk, you get an armored appearance.
Controls Altered: Treyarch altered the controller setup a bit; the right thumper will activate lethal stuff. While the left thumper will activate any tactical equipment/weapons. There’s a new category for equipment; deployable weapons.
Diving: If you sprint and go prone at the same time, you will dive into the ground.
Highest KillStreak is 11 – Cue the #%@&ing facepalm. Here’s to hoping the killstreaks aren’t customizable as MW2 was.
No Stopping Power. Epic Fail. There’s no countering Flak Jacket users.
Custom Red Dots – Smiley-Holo is just one of the customizable Red Dots for your weapons.
The KillStreaks are:
- RC-XD – A remote controlled car that also explodes.
- Sam Turret – It looks like a turret designed to counter-attack killstreak helicopters/gunships.
- Grim Reaper – A rocket launcher that explodes at the player or surrounding objects.
- GunShips – Take control of a gunship. You’re the pilot.
Perks and Camos are unlocked via “Call of Duty Credits.” Not sure if it is the same thing as the CP’s mentioned earlier.
What do you think? Awesome? Crazy? Are you excited? We’ll have more in the coming months as we approach the Nov 9 launch date for the game.
