Having watched a lot of Die Rise game play I'm VERY excited to play it. Looks much better than Green Run.
AN-94 on the wall (50/600 pack-a-punched)
PDW on the wall
Badass new wonderweapon
Beautiful map design
Actual challenging locations
Might actually be the first zombies map to ever scare me.
Overall this map just seems very awesome.
Tranzit on it's own seems like a disappointment, but just one DLC in and Black ops 2 zombies seems like an incredible package. Survival Green Run/Town/Farm/Bus Depot + Grief+Nuketown Zombies+Die Rise and I already have more awesome options than I know what to do with. February 28th (allegedly when Revolution is out for PS3) can't come soon enough.
Love Die Rise. It's crazy and frantic at first but you will get the hang of it.
I'd wish they'd include more maps that were big like Wasteland or the big snow one in MW2
I have been thinking about breaking that one out just to play it. Loved that map

I have got to round 10 a couple times but if you separate from the others and go down you are screwed. End up somewhere with no gun (at least since I don't know my way around yet)
is live down for anyone else?? i was in the middle of a game and then it said i was signed out and i havent been able to get one since that was about an hour ago
Derail was terrible. What's that one on Black Ops with the kind of northern lights effect in the sky? I think it was a DLC map. I really liked that one. Had many a good gun game there.

Yeah, you really need to build the trampoline or get the Who's who perk.

It's been doing that all day. Now Zombies causes your entire Xbox to crash. Don't even go to the menu.

could be wrong, But I'm pretty sure it was Discovery. And I'm one of those people who absolutely hated Derail. Discovery on BO1 was okay. Had a few good games there, but nothing really exciting.

Correct. And I agree. WMD , Summit , and Grid were all amazing snow maps .
I like the Peacekeeper so far , its for sure not an SMG. It's like a hybrid of an SMG and AR. Haven't found my favourite setup with it yet though. Hopefully they make more weapon DLC
Yikes, that map was horrible , same with Wasteland . Pretty odd choices of good maps.
Live is down .

I don't know. I liked them. They seemed to have room for all the types of weapons
Peacekeeper is probably my favorite SMG now. Great combination of range and firepower.
How are the maps?

I only played Mirage once , and the snow one for like 2 minutes.
Mirage is sweet. It's a very unique map , and well made . The flag are setup kind of different . You can run from A to C , faster than running from A to B , or C to B . Could become one of my favourite maps in the game. Good size too.
The snow one , I can't really comment on too much but there are moving ski lifts that if they hit you , they kill you. But you can walk and hide behind them for cover , pretty good tactic.
Wait is there 3 or 4 maps ? Because I'm pretty sure I saw a map where it like floods , along with Grind.

Wasteland was a throwback to an old COD map and it was awful.
Derail was hit and miss. With a nice mix of weapon styles on each team, it could be a very fun map. But it usually was a strict snipe fest. Which, back then I hated. But now, with all the SMG maps, I miss it. Go figure.
Derail was also awful for any objective mode. The amount of time to run from the gas station to the warehouse, even with LW and Marathon, was atrocious.
I'm getting a feeling that the new maps are following suit of the BO2 maps and are mid to small ranged?
Bummer, I'm trying to work on my snipers, and without the variable scope, the standard becomes too much for how small these maps are.

Demo on Derail with Tac Inserts was the way to roll. Tac Inserts and Demo are just a good strategy overall and are a pain to play against.
And I like them for the most part. Grind(which is a skate park) is the coolest map, rather small though and it can get frustrating at times. Mirage is probably my favorite, good sized map that is also unique and fun. The snow map is also quite fun, definitely the largest of all the maps, but it works well for headquarters. The last map, which is based on a dam/water station, is just MEH. Very small map, nothing unique about it though.

Alright, thanks. I'll get the map pack maybe later tonight or tomorrow.
Is the new SMG better than the Skorpion EVO? If so, I guess that's a new gun I'm going to get gold on.

Forgot to mention I got gold for the Chicom CQB a couple days ago. Only took me 684 kills. One of the easiest ones for me to get gold. Now I'm sorta working on getting gold for the Peacekeeper. I have 31 headshots for it so far. I also still need gold for the MP7, Vector and the Skorpion EVO. I have 70 headshots for the MP7, 30 for the Vector, and 9 for the Skorpion.
Also, as a PSA type of thing... Was playing with a friend today who doesn't have the update. I told him to chill by me at the beginning of the game, I'd kill myself so he could pick up the gun. Well, if you commit suicide, you don't drop your gun
