Multiplayer Maps

Pod

A failed utopian community from the 70’s has left stacks of dilapidated residential pods nestled into an abandoned cliff side. Its residents long gone, the modernist compound now hosts frenetic combat as players must run atop the pods and navigate their multi-tiered interiors for a strategic edge.

Frost

Fresh snow meets explosive gunpowder in this snow-capped European city, where the bridge over a frozen canal separates it into two sides, requiring players to employ multi-level traversal strategies to outsmart and ultimately outshoot their enemies.

Takeoff

Though marooned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this remote launch site is all about the close-quarters combat, combining tight corners with open spaces for combat encounters reminiscent of the multiplayer map “Stadium” from Call of Duty®: Black Ops “First Strike.

Dig

Two archeological dig sites in Afghanistan have unearthed the perfect playground for combatants eager for hectic, unceasing battle, as this re-imagining of the fan-favorite Call of Duty®: World at War map “Courtyard” delivers two major chokepoints, a wide open layout, and raised platforms.

Zombies

Origins

With Call of Duty: Black Ops II Apocalypse, Treyarch reveals Origins, the most horrifying and imaginative Zombies experience yet. Players will be deployed to Dieselpunk-stylized World War I-era France where they will encounter the return of the four original heroes from the very first Zombies map, as well as hordes of zombies that have overrun trenches and fields, as well as the ruins of a mysterious and ancient location.

GTA Online Character To Be Molded After Your DNA

by Joel Santana

August 26, 2013 11:38 pm in News

As we all know, Grand Theft Auto V’s online component, GTA Online, is set to feature an editor which will allow you image your character after yourself, or anyway you see fit. But how exactly will the character editor work in GTA Online?

According to a recent report by Shacknews, it simply comes down to your DNA. Powered by the hereditary-based creation system, character creation will allow you to pick your character’s appearance by choosing your parent’s heritage and choosing which parent you will most closely resemble using a gene dominance meter.

Those who drop some hefty amounts of cash for the collector’s edition of Grand Theft Auto V will have some more options to play with when it comes to creating your identity in GTA Online, as it will net you the Niko Belic, Claude and Misty customization options. Essentially, they will be parents that you can liken your character to.

Additionally, despite not being online to be able to rank up your character in various activities while offline, it doesn’t mean that they will stop living their life. Your character will be able to continue on with their daily routines and activities, for which you can set guidelines, which will ultimately impact your character’s appearance and skill set.

Grand Theft Auto V is set to launch on September 17 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and GTA Online will be available on October 1.

Borderlands 2 – UVHP 2 ‘Digistruct Peak’ Available September 3, Allows Use of Lvl 80 Loot

by Joel Santana

2:01 pm in News

First announced during this year’s PAX Australia, Gearbox has confirmed that the upcoming Ultimate Vault Hunter Pack 2 that’s set to raise the level cap to 72 will also feature the all new ‘Digistruct Peak’, a mountain top training ground for the Crimson Raiders, and will release September 3.

Didistruck Peak will let players face enemies that they wouldn’t normally face at the same time such as skags and varkids and features an hour-long mission that’s suited for four players.

For those who love a real challenge, Gearbox is also throwing in the ‘Overpower’ feature, which will not only allow you to face harder enemies as you gain Overpower levels – capping out at 8 levels – but also allows you to collect and use loot up to level 80. That’s if you reach both the level 72 cap and the Overlimit cap.

Additionally, the headhunters DLC which will have our favorite vault hunters taking on new bosses and visiting new locales will also be priced much lower then the traditional campaign DLCs for Borderlands 2. Although no exact price was given, you can expect to get your hands on the first headhunters pack this October, as we visit T.K Baha in the ‘Bloody Harvest’ DLC add-on that’s expected to release in October.

The Ultimate Vault Hunter Pack 2 will be available on September 3 for $4.99 USD on the PC, Mac, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. Those who bought Borderlands 2’s season pass will have to purchase this add-on separately as it’s not included in the season pass.

Thanks, Digitaltrends.

Who will be the first vault hunter with who you’ll reach the new level cap? Let us know in the comment section below!

Origin Schedules Battlefield 4 Beta for October 1 [Update: September 30 in North America]

by David Veselka

1:30 pm in News

It appears that when DICE announced that the Battlefield 4 beta would become available early October, they really meant early.

If an Origin listing is to be believed, the Battlefield 4 beta will be unlocked on October 1 and will be available for pre-load on September 28.

Check out the screen grab below, courtesy of @BanadaMan104, listing both dates for the Battlefield 4 beta.

What we know so far is that Battlefield 3 Premium members, Medal of Honor: War Fighter Limited Edition owners, and those who’ve pre-ordered Battlefield 4 will have access to the beta three days before it opens up to the public in early October.

Neither DICE nor EA have officially confirmed any exact beta dates as of yet, so the dates above may subject to change. We’ll be sure to update once we hear official word.

Update

The time and date listed above comes from an Australian user. @taylorek6970 from the United States reports that the Battlefield 4 beta will unlock September 30 at 7:08PM UTC with pre-loading available on September 27 at 7:00PM UTC. On the West Coast, that puts the time at roughly 5:00/5:08 PM PDT.

Exclusive Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Apocalypse DLC Gameplay

by David Veselka

1:00 pm in News

Courtesy of Activision and Treyarch, we had the chance to visit their studio recently to take part in the Apocalypse that is Black Ops 2’s fourth and final DLC coming to Xbox Live tomorrow, August 27.

Along with some other well-known YouTube personalities, we were set up with some games on four of Apocalypse’s new maps; Dig, Frost, Pod and Takeoff. We also got to try our hands at Origins, Treyarch’s latest and most epic Zombies offering.

Dig

Dig simply felt good to play and brought back some pleasant old memories of Courtyard from World at War. In this re-imagining, however, Treyarch updated a few of the sight lines and raised the center structure in order to avoid some of those crazy cross-map sniper kills you might remember. The new setting definitely fits the layout as well.

[youtube id=”CUzh8ZFEWPc” width=”618″ height=”378″]

Pod

We played a really close game of TDM on Pod, Apocalypse’s smallest map. While TDM might be one of Call of Duty’s more bland game types, I definitely had a blast thanks to Pod’s close-quarters, fast-paced action. Navigation was really fluid and it was always easy to find a firefight. The setting features hints of Nuketown and I wouldn’t be surprised if Pod soon became an worthy alternative, or at least a great addition to Black Ops 2’s bevy of small maps. Be sure to check out that game winning kill-cam at the end!
