Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 News: Activision reveals what date PS3 and PC players will get to download the latest DLC from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Vengeance will hit PS3 and PC beginning on August 1. Activision revealed earlier today that the new Vengeance DLC will be available for PS3 and PC next month and will take players to exotic locations around the globe and also serves up a new chapter to the Zombies experience with “Buried,” where the undead residents of an abandoned subterranean Old West mining town have come back to claim their home.

In addition to the new Zombies experience, Vengeance brings with it four new multiplayer maps which 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: Get ready for 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: In this re-imagined adaptation of the fan-favorite multiplayer map “Summit” from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, players can clash deep in the rain-soaked jungles of Myanmar, high atop a hi-tech mountain facility

In the new Zombies experience “Buried,” players will meet up with the four survivors in Tranzit and then begin to encounter the undead residents of an abandoned underground Old West mining town. A healthy arsenal of equipment and weapons 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 II Zombies maps (with the purchase of Vengeance DLC) - the Ray Gun Mark II.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Vengeance DLC will be available for $14.99 or for free if you are a season pass holder. Will you be downloading this new content?
