REGULAR BLACK OPS HAS ZOMBIES THE HARDENED EDITION COMES WITH THE 4 PREVIOUS BUT UPGRADED ZOMBIE MAPS FROM W@W!

The fact this is sold out goes to show just how popular zombies was in the previous call of duty. I got a little pre-release info on black ops zombies you ready for this.

I will update this review when I have more information on the four old zombie maps that come with the hardened edition.

Please search AskACapper on YouTube if you want to see some of my tips on how to reach high levels in the zombie modes!

It seems BO only comes with 2 new zombie maps and a 3rd game mode called Black OPs arcade which is a top down zombie shooter. You unlock this mode by looking down at the man menu at your hands while in the chair then press L1 7 R1 repeatedly and you'll break free. then walk over to a computer in the room press x and type DoA (Dead OPs Arcade) and enjoy the fun.

New maps include Keno Der Toten (Theater of the Dead) which is a 1940s era German theater much like the one inglorious bastards where they had the final shootout. It is definitely very cool looking and the new crawler zombies who when killed exploded leaving the green cloud that larger vision. These crawlers I believe will make their appearance in all the zombie maps. This map has a teleporter like some of the previous zombie maps and it looks like a good time.

Pro tip: on this first map save your money and open the door on the left as there is a submachine gun there. Do not buy the shotgun in the starting room as it will not give you the points you need to open doors and to progress to the power switch and a box.

Another new map is located in the Pentagon and it is called "Five". And in this map you play as JFK, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon and some other random guy (I haven't taken the time to figure out who he is but a kinky some cabinet member). And their one-liners are hilarious. From what I know the Pentagon has three levels that use elevators to move to it looks super fun.

***Something new in this release is the quick revive perk which in the previous zombies did nothing when you played solo now revives you. And you can buy quick revive up to three times so basically of three lives in solo player zombies now and that is very cool. Plus when you are down you get Akimbo PaP handguns that are like canons!

Pro Tip: If your playing solo and the doctor comes to steal your gun just cook a frag and go down and you get akimbo pack-a-punched guns while you are being revived. then blast him and he dies quick.

Fire Sale puts a box in evey location for 30 seconds and the box only costs 10 points. Firesale Pack-A-Punch opens the PaP room & upgrades only cost 1000pt vs. 5000pts like normal.

New weapons I've seen one is the thunder gun and the other is the freeze ray. Now both undergone as I believe 12 shots with a two shot magazine. It basically shoots a pulse wave that takes out large amounts of zombies. But with only a two shot magazine is kind of limited. The other new gun that I've seen is the freeze Ray and what it does is turn the running zombies in the slow walkers for a short time. This linked with a teammate using the thunder gun could be very effective for killing large quantities of zombies at once.

The orignal maps are updated & somewhat harder. I believe these maps will be DLC soon.

Okay that's all I have so far I will update this as I know more. Please check out my YouTube channel just search AskACapper and support my custom button remapping petition that will help handicapped gamers.

I must admit, I was a bit worried about this game before it came out. There was a ton of hype for it, even though it was being developed by Treyarch a company known for creating mediocre Call of Duty titles in gap years while Infinity Ward was still working on something big. But this time they've truly stepped up to the plate, bringing a game that's fun, well-made, and may revolutionize the franchise. The single player story is one of the best so far, and while at first confusing, has a much clearer narrative than Modern Warfare 2. Though I prefer MW2's multiplayer, this is still very fun and I love some of the new features they've added. The level of customization is also incredible, though at times all the micromanaging can become a bit cumbersome at times. Oh and I almost forgot, wager matches are AMAZING. Sticks and Stones is my favorite multiplayer mode of all time, hands down.

Excellent game.

While this game was good, it wasnt at good at any of the previous call of duty games. They get worse every time..its a money hole! The content in the hardened edition was great though, got all the old maps.

Want Call of Duty: Black Ops Hardened Edition Discount?

The game came in a metallic case. I typically only purchase special edition that have that feature. Personally, the game is a little slower that Modern Warfare, so it did take some time to get use to. The multiple player option is addicting. I mostly purchase the game for that particular reason. However, I enjoy a good story and the game definitely delivers.

Game play and graphics

Graphics look a little lower compared to Modern Warfare, but it may be due to the type of setting (Vietnam Era)

Play with multiple people online with internet connection or by connecting various system (I use PS3)

Online gameplay, you select the type of weapons and skills to have before a battle

Online gameplay offers various modes: team death match, capture the flag, domination, etc

To beat the game takes about 10 20 hours, longer if you are looking for all the secrets and enjoy the view
