Just a word of warning to everyone who preordered the hardened or care package edition in gamestop, They didn't get enough limited editions of Halo 4 in to cover the preorders they had leaving people dissappointed. It will be €60 in most places for standard edition, HMV will probably do it for 50-55.

Probably between €45 and €60 at a guess and depending on the shop. Tesco is usually pretty cheap

Just a heads up if you haven't pre-ordered the game and are planning on picking it up launch day. Keep an eye on Tesco the day before, the one in Castlebar had Halo 4 for sale a day early so I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens with BLOPs 2.

I'd imagine you could get it as DLC somewhere down the line, but I dunno how much that would cost or when it would be out.

Think nuketown 2025 is i pre order only bonus. Like when you pick it up if pre ordered they will give you a code along with the game to download it. I remember when I pre ordered BF3 i got a separate printed page with a code on it for the pre order stuff.

That said if u were picking it up early on launch day you might get a spare code thrown in with your purchase

Not sure if it's true or not but saw clip on Youtube this morning from Tmrtn saying David Vonderhar said on Twitter that there are no plans to release Nuketown 2025 at a later date in a DLC it will be only available on pre order....could just be sayig that that bump up pre orders so who knows if he's serious or not.

So if you don't preorder this you never have to play nuketown? Brilliant

I don't see the problem with pre-ordering. You can just go in and put down a fiver to pre-order it then pay the rest on launch day as you would have done anyway

podgemonster

I think I will pre-order this game and collect it in a bricks and mortar shop.

Went to pre-order yesterday and the staff gave me weird looks and said they'd never heard of it. Left confused and carrying 2 bags of cement and measuring tape (they were on offer).

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Will Feature Multiplayer Live-Streaming Via YouTube
Brian Ashcraft
Activision's FPS sequel will be breaking new ground when Call of Duty: Black Ops II allows players to broadcast live in-game multiplayer streaming to YouTube from the Xbox 360 and PS3.

As previously mentioned, the new functionality is a first for modern consoles, allowing them to transmit gameplay in real-time. The streams will be viewable on web browsers and mobile devices through the Call of Duty Elite service as well as individual YouTube accounts. Integration with the Elite service will let registered members view stats, loadouts and match data of the player broadcasting the match. The YouTube livestreaming will be available right on Black Ops II's 11/13/12 release date.

Does the same apply to the nuke town zombies map?
If ya don't pre order it you won't get it?

Zero-Cool

Gamesnash.ie have extended their Boardsies deal and you can still avail of the offer (preorder BLOPS 2 and get a voucher to use on their site) Full details below.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056771401

Anyway, last COD I played was BLOPS 1, skipped MW3 and wasn't pushed on this until I saw the Zombies campaign mode, that just looks class! Also, thats a brilliant addition being able to stream your game to youtube!

You need to pre-order the Hardened Edition for nuketown zombies.

WOW. This is massive.

_Gawd_

Speaking of Nuketown, with the game already being leaked Treyarch have given the go-ahead for people who already have the game to livestream so get ready to be inundated with BLOPS2 over the weekend.

It seems that the few places we already know about Zombies are only the start of the Tranzit map! Look at this video...there are big underground labs etc.

I'm tempted to make an ebay advert of BO2 and say how it's unsealed, unused blah blah blah and not mention anything about getting it early, just rant on and see who bids and send them a copy on the day of release.

I wasn't complaining. I'm actually happy that by not pre ordering I won't have to play that **** map. I used to hate when it came up in blops and everyone would vote for it two games in a row

On another note:


IGN livestream:

and the prestige emblems, which look, awesome.

Ive ordered the hardened edition of blops2 but im just wondering what you get extra from the standard edition. I know that if you prebook the standard you get nuketown map. If you get the hardened you get the zombies nuketown also. Is there anything else? I really dont need some crappy coins and a soundtrack thing. They say you wont be able buy the nuketown map if you dont preorder but i think thats crap. Id say you can just buy it after a week or something. Is it really an extra 20 for just nuketown zombies?

Dam i should have just bought the standard and bought the extra zombies later, would have saved some money. Lol! Thought it was just activision that rip people off. Blops 1 hardened edition gave you alot more than this! Its actually a bit more than 20 euro extra i think. Not too late to cancel i suppose.

When do you think we will start to see reviews? as late as monday?

At like 5 mins into the gameplay, a guy hacks an enemy mine, nice little feature

i'd always though it would be great to be able to hack the balistic vests so they always appeared on the radar

I think Cereal Rapist is picking it up today so he'll hopefully be on here later to give some first impressions

Mr. Manager
