A great little compilation of outbursts has been compiled by Eurogamer, and it’s contents have been a hot topic today throughout the gaming community. The video is from the Call of Duty European Championships in Cologne. Suffice to say, the “professional” players like to yell. A lot. With eSports growing, as last week’s 2.6 million [...]

Good news to anyone who likes to watch and live stream on Twitch.tv! The seamless live streaming of Black Ops 2 on twitch.tv that was announced at last years GamesCom is finally available on Xbox 360.

My Favorite Black Ops 2 Loadouts.

My review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2‘s multiplayer was highly positive, while not the perfect experience, varying game modes and the sheer amount of possible loadouts makes it an unexpected technical FPS. COD‘s multiplayer is still strongly every-man-for-himself in nature, but I choose to waver my kill/death ratio for the better of the [...]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Review Weeks have passed since the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, long enough to get a real grasp for the multiplayer.

In a rumor running rampant around the internet, a few unlucky (or lucky depending on how you want to look at it) Black Ops 2 PC users have received Mass Effect 2 as their CODBlOps2 second disc. It appears that when you insert disc 2, marked clearly Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, posts up [...]

On the eve of one Activision’s largest game launches in history, Treyarch released their Security & Enforcement Policy in it’s Black Ops 2 community forums. Summarization: Don’t be a douche. Treyarch doesn’t use those exact words, and I may be paraphrasing a bit. Treyarch is prepared to strike down the ban hammer for boosting, modded [...]

Call of Duty continues it’s “There’s a Soldier in All of Us” campaign in the newest Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 trailer directed by hectic mastermind, Guy Ritchie.

Some big news came from Activision and Treyarch this morning, the extremely popular Call of Duty Elite, boasting more than 12 million users, will be free to the public once Call of Duty Black Ops 2 hits store shelves. There is a catch though, the free service has everything but upcoming DLC and maps. The [...]
