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)
