Black ops 2 zombies: Die Rise

 Die Rise occurs in post-apocalyptic Shanghai, China; the fight against the zombies takes place on two skyscrapers. The top half of the spawn building is broken off and wedged upside-down between the two skyscrapers, bridging the gap between them while effectively acting as a third building. It is also the first map in Zombies to introduce a true element of verticality, including broken elevator shafts, upside down skyscrapers, deadly falls, and elevators which transport randomized Perk-a-Cola machines and the Pack-a-Punch machine up and down the floors.

Die Rise is the first map where you have an alternative route out of the spawn which costs no money, and only has one door to open for 750 to get to the power. the wonder weapon on Die Rise is again a buildable but is the highly effective sliquifier. this gun cannot be pack-a-punched but is still useful in the high rounds, even 100+ if used right.

the perk machines and pack-a-punch are randomised in what lift they are but are split into two areas, quick revive is always in the first elevator in he first building, speed-cola and whos who are also i the firs building but swap between each other, double tap, mule-kick, juggernaught and pack-a-punch are on the second building but swap between each other. die rise consists of a lot of narrow corridors in the second building on the lower floors, although there is a good training area in the buddha room, on the botom floor of the first building and the roof  of the second building.

the trample steam is effective for locking down a window or getting from building to building, but be careful as if it is not placed correctly you might fall to your death.

there are 3 box locations on the map 1 on the 3rd highest floor of the spawn building and 2 on the second building, being the roof and 4th floor respectivly.

die rise is a fun map, it is going back to a standard zombie map like BO1, with verticality element coming into play makes it a straegical map, there is areal danger of falling to your death so you always have to watc your footing. it was one of my favorite maps in b02 anxd the easter egg is fun in iself (will do a tutorial of both sides in a later blog)

Black ops 2 zombies

Nuketown

Nuketown Zombies is set during the events of Moon, and after the end of the multiplayer level from the original Black Ops game. A group of radiation scientists are investigating the Nuketown remains and discover soldiers that have been revived by Element 115 from a nearby Nevada base. this sets up the stage for nuketown zombies, you play as either hazmat or C.I.A agents.

The maps is the sam map from bo1 but some of the areas have debris in the way that you cant get rid off, this makes the map tighter than it already is, the perks in the map are juggernought quick revive,speed cola and double tap, the pack a punch is also in the map. perks work diffrently in this map. you have a counter on the nuketown sign and a clock with the numbers 1-3 every 100 kills you have a 1 in 3 chance of the perk machine dropping, this is the same with the pack a punch. the order is completly random. this makes the map quiter hard if you have to survive till round 20+ to get jugg.

the weapons in the map are standard blops 2 weapons with a few editions, the LSAT makes its first appearance and the m27 makes its only appearance in bo2 zombies.

there are 3 main training spots in the map, back green middle and back yellow, it is easy to survive thwe map using these training spots its getting set up which is the hard part.

i personally like the map, it adds a challege to a basic zombie map. however i would have liked to see the map how it originally was, without the blockades but none the less it is an enjoyable map.

call of duty black ops 2 zombies

In these series of blogs i will be discussing each of the DLC zombie maps from bo2.
I will give my opinion on the maps as well as the weapons and general difficulty of the map and the dificulty level of the boss zombie, if the map has one. I will also be giving tips on what are the best weapons to use when going for high rounds. I will give the maps an overall rating out of 10

The maps i will be covering are as follows:
Nuketown
Die Rise
Mob of the dead
Buried
Origins 

The first four maps in that list feature the new characters in bo2, apart from motd, the last map, origins, features the original characters from bo1. I will not be going over any of the easter eggs but i might give a mention to do them if they reward you with constant perks, which are valuble for high rounds.

These blogs are my own personal opinion, I welcome all comments and critisism.
