Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Vengeance DLC on Xbox 360 and Xbox Live first

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Vengeance is hitting Xbox Live exclusively beginning on July 2nd. The third downloadable pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Vengeance takes players to four diverse locations around the globe, including a deserted tropical island, a destroyed suspension bridge, an abandoned paintball course and the jungles of Myanmar. Vengeance also serves up a new addition to the game’s Zombies experience with “Buried,” where the undead residents of an abandoned subterranean Old West mining town have come back to claim their home.

“When it’s difficult to see the line between playtesting and leisurely gaming around the studio, it’s a sure sign that we’ve created something fun with Vengeance,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch. “From the four multiplayer maps to our new Zombies experience, “Buried,” Vengeance continues doing what we set out to accomplish from the very beginning of development on Call of Duty: Black Ops II: pushing the boundaries of fans’ expectations.”

The four new maps you will receive with the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Vengeance DLC include:

Cove - The stage is set for all-out conflict on this small, forgotten island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with players battling it out amongst the wreckage of a jet that crash landed during a smuggling operation gone wrong.

Detour - A destroyed suspension bridge, high above an East Coast waterway, packed with scattered vehicles, exposed iron and collapsed pavement where the head-to-head action will play out on multiple levels.

Rush - Fast, close-quarters engagements in this paintball course turned full-combat arena, giving players new opportunities and challenges to use the cover to their advantage.

Uplink - A re-imagined adaptation of the fan-favorite multiplayer map “Summit” from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, players clash deep in the rain-soaked jungles of Myanmar, high atop a hi-tech mountain facility.

Buried - Players meet up with old characters and will encounter new ones as they face off against the undead residents of an abandoned underground Old West mining town. A healthy arsenal of equipment and weapons that will be at players’ disposal, but with one very special addition - something so powerful it will also appear in all other Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Zombies maps (with the purchase of Vengeance DLC): the Ray Gun Mark II.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Vengeance will be available first exclusively on Xbox Live for 1,200 Microsoft points on July 2 with other platforms to follow. If history is any guide I think it is a safe assumption that PS3 players will receive the Vengeance DLC sometime in August.
