CoD Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC release date

CoD Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC finally has a PS3 and PC release date of May 16, Activision announced this week. The Uprising DLC features four new multiplayer maps, plus “Mob of the Dead,” a bone-chilling new Zombies experience that takes players to the notorious prison island of Alcatraz.

Several of Hollywood’s most iconic actors round out the cast of Prohibition-era mobsters, including Ray Liotta, Michael Madsen, Chazz Palminteri, and Joe Pantoliano to bring this horrifying adventure to life.

Following the tradition of the original CoD Black Ops, fan-favorite Zombies mode "Call of the Dead," Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Uprising's wildly creative new "Mob of the Dead" Zombies experience puts players on the island of Alcatraz, in the shoes of four Prohibition-era mobsters: Billy Handsome (Liotta), Al "The Weasel" Arlington (Pantoliano), Salvatore "Sal" DeLuca (Palminteri), and Michael "Finn" O'Leary (Madsen).

All four are serving time in Alcatraz Prison, only to discover that being behind bars is the least of their problems. In order to survive, players must work their way through the steel cells and aging concrete buildings while fighting off a multitude of zombified prisoners and guards trapped on the island with them.

Uprising also debuts four new diverse multiplayer maps, each set around the globe:

Magma - Set within a modern Japanese village, volcanic eruptions carve multiple paths throughout the town.

Encore - Taking place in the aftermath of a deserted London music festival, Encore leaves numerous opportunities for run-and-gun, close quarters combat.

Vertigo - A futuristic high-rise mega-structure located in India featuring dizzying vistas and multi-tiered pathways.

Studio - A contemporary re-imagining of "Firing Range," the fan-favorite multiplayer map from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops. "Studio" is a Hollywood movie back lot with a variety of cinematic themes that range from Sci-Fi to the Old West.

You can purchase the Uprising content as a standalone map pack for the price of $14.99 or, if you have the season pass, you should be able to download it for free once it becomes available. Will you be downloading this new CoD Black Ops 2 Uprising map pack? Tell us what you think below.
