The previously-leaked details for Black Ops 2's first DLC pack have now been confirmed. Activision has officially announced the "Revolution" add-on, which adds four new multiplayer maps, one new zombie map, a new zombie game mode, and a new weapon.

As expected, the add-on will be available first on Xbox 360: $14.99 on January 29. Other platforms will follow at "a later date," which usually ends up being about a month.

Included in the add-on are four maps:

  • Hydro, a hydro-electric dam in Pakistan, complete with a floodable spillway
  • Grind, a skatepark in California filled with quarter-pipes
  • Downhill, a snow map at a ski resort in the French Alps
  • Mirage, a luxury resort in China’s Gobi Desert

Zombies players will be able to romp in "Die Rise," a map set in "crumbling skyscrapers in the Far East." A new mode, Turned, allows players to take control of the undead. Finally, the add-on introduces the Peacekeeper, the franchise's first DLC weapon. It's a SMG/assault rifle hybrid.

Unlike Modern Warfare 3, there is no tiered release schedule for Elite members. Instead, you can pick up a standalone DLC season pass, which promises to include all of this year's line-up of downloadable add-ons at a discount.

      BO2 is the worst cod i have ever played.. granted i didnt play MW3.. bo2 lag comp and hit detection is far worse than bo1.. i have no idea what they did but its ridiculous.. all that money for absolutely nothing, plus they bunched it up with MW games.. compare bo1 to mw2. you see a big difference. now compare bo2 and mw2-3 no difference.. the shooting looks the same.. and bo2 zombies is too compact and bland.. im trying to sell bo2 right now.. i completely regret paying anything for that piece of crap

        I think it's a great game, but you're you're about lag comp, it's fucking atrocious at times.
