Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Maps

With the reveal of Block Ops 2's multiplayer at GamesCom there is just TOO MUCH info available on everything. I think Treyarch is planning on blowing away everybody with all the details surrounding the multiplayer. One post is not nearly enough to cover it all but we shall take a look at some of the more prominent info they have made available.

First thing we are going to take a look at is the Emblem Editor which is making a comeback from the first Black Ops. If you guys remember Emblem Editor allowed players to create their very own custom emblems using layers of clip-art graphics which could be modified in a million ways (color, size, angle

New Xbox Rumor

Well it's about time isn't it? For Microsoft to reveal SOMETHING about the next gen Xbox right?

It seems that one of their employees thought we deserved to know more and thanks to him we get to hear the very first actual reference towards the new Xbox. In an interview with The Verge, Brian Hall (General Manager of Windows Live) literally mentioned that the "new Xbox" when listing the wide range of Microsoft products that could be incorporated with Windows 8.

This is what Hall said during his interview, "We've had Hotmail and operated Hotmail for about 16 years. We obviously have Exchange, and Outlook, that people use at work. We just decided

Call of Duty Perk Programme

With all that is happening in the US regarding Call of Duty I guess UK didn't want to feel left out. UK's GAME recently announced their "Call of Duty Perk Programme".  Basically this program will be giving off goodies to die hard CoD fans who will be pre-ordering the game.

The first wave will be receiving a Quadrotor theme for PS3 owners or a Quadrotor drone avatar for Xbox 360 owners. These bonuses could be one of the last waves for those who pre-order it from GameStop.

For now though, Nuketown 2025 and a double-sided poster have been revealed as the first two waves of pre-order bonuses for those who pre-order from GameStop.

Assassin's Creed 3 Story Info

In an unfortunate event for Ubisoft and fortunately for us, the story mode behind the Assassin's Creed 3 multiplayer was leaked. The leak happened from GameTrailers who uploaded the multiplayer trailer ahead of time.

As always it did not take long for them to rectify the error and they have since pulled it down. Seems they were not fast enough as some had actually been able to download the trailer off. Now there is a cat and mouse game going on between the uploaders and Ubisoft who are trying to ban all of the trailers. If you are lucky you can check out the trailer in the link below:

Xbox 720 Dev Kits Leaked

There seems to be no end in sight for rumors surrounding the next-gen Xbox. Just a few days back a person calling himself DaE leaked several pictures of the "supposed" development kit for the next-gen Xbox.

The pictures first appeared on a forum for game developers where DaE attempted to sell the alleged development kit for $10,000. As expected no one actually paid any heed to this and labeled the whole event as another rumor and just another trying to create another hoax.

In an interesting turn of events Digital Foundry, a gaming tech site, has confirmed that these pictures are actually real. Digital Foundry has met with several developers
