Black Ops II's Vengeance DLC Coming To PC, PS3 In August
Activision has revealed when PC and PS3 players can access the Vengeance DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Those players can check out the download's four multiplayer maps and new Zombies mode in August.
More specifically, the content is coming to those platforms on August 1 for $14.99. Here's a quick recap of the multiplayer maps, straight from Activision:
- 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 clash deep in the rain-soaked jungles of Myanmar, high atop a hi-tech mountain facility.
Our Take
By now, PC and PS3 players should be used to the Call of Duty DLC drill. Getting the content a month after the Xbox 360 version remains a drag, but it's far from the end of the world.
