World Famous Rock Band Avenged Sevenfold and Renowned Comics Painter/Illustrator Alex Ross Lend Their Talent in Support of Call of Duty®: Black Ops II: Apocalypse
With Apocalypse,
"Apocalypse is Treyarch's grand finale to Call of
Duty: Black Ops II," said Treyarch Studio Head,
Call of Duty: Black Ops II Apocalypse delivers four diverse multiplayer maps:
-
Pod: A failed utopian community from the 70's has left stacks
of dilapidated residential pods nestled into an abandoned cliff side
in
Taiwan . Its residents long gone, the modernist compound now hosts frenetic combat as players must run atop the pods, as well as 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: Fans of "Stadium" from the original Call of
Duty®: Black Ops First Strike DLC will find themselves at home on
"Takeoff." Marooned in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean , this remote launch site is all about close-quarters combat, combining tight corners with open spaces for intense encounters. -
Dig: An adaptation of the fan-favorite "Courtyard" from Call
of Duty®: World at War, where two archeological dig sites in
Afghanistan become the perfect playground for combatants eager for hectic, unceasing confrontations. Treyarch, has retained the spirit of "Courtyard" with two major chokepoints, a wide open layout and raised platforms, but has provided fans with a fresh take on the multitude of paths.
In addition to the four maps, Apocalypse also reveals Origins,
the most horrifying and imaginative Zombies experience to date. Players
will be deployed to Dieselpunk-stylized World War I-era
Unleashed after the Germans unearthed the mysterious "Element 115," this next chapter in the Zombies legacy will explore the saga's origins as players reunite with an unlikely band of soldiers that come together to defeat the greatest evil the world has ever seen, using a period-specific arsenal that includes Wonder Weapons that harness supernatural powers, a diesel-drone and Mark IV tank, as well a new perk machine and power-ups — and that's just the start. Players will need all the help they can get to succeed in defeating the undead, as well as evading an unprecedented 1,000-foot tall robot abomination. In this stylized undead adventure, they'll need every advantage if they have any hope of surviving one of Treyarch's deepest Zombies experiences to date.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II Apocalypse will be available
first, exclusively on Xbox Live for the Xbox 360® games and
entertainment system from Microsoft for
