Black Ops 2 'Apocalypse' DLC Releases on Xbox 360, Latest Patch Notes Outlined

Zombies just got more badass.

Treyarch released their latest Black Ops 2 update for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions a few days ago, just near enough for the release of today’s “Apocalypse” DLC on Xbox 360.

That’s right gamers, today “Apocalypse” releases on the Xbox 360 system (PS3’s DLC release date has yet to be set), but not without additional changes being made a bit beforehand. For the most part, issues with the multiplayer and Zombies components have all been addressed. Furthermore, both versions of the game basically had identical tweaks made, aside from the Zombies map, “Buried”. Not much else to say on the changes, so go ahead and read on below for the full list of notes:

Multiplayer Issues Addressed

Fixed an issue which caused strafe and backwards movement speeds to be slower than intended in certain circumstances. Addressed an issue where Players were able to copy other Players' emblems. Fixed an issue where throwing down and picking up equipment (such as the Bouncing Betty) for a long period of time would cause those items to become invisible when thrown. Fixed bullet and equipment collision in Detour with several of the metal tiles in the lower section of the bridge. Players are no longer able to stand on invisible collision near the crane in Uplink. Fixed an issue in Uplink where Players were able to access invisible collision near the lower start spawn, outside of the intended playspace. Players are no longer able to Dive-To-Prone into a section of the downed plane in Cove. Improved stability with the preview movies in CoDTV when signing in and out of profiles. Fixed an issue where the lobby countdown timer would reset back to full in certain circumstances.

Zombies Issues Addressed

TranZit

Zombies no longer jitter when they climb on the roof of the bus or when they enter from the windows. Fixed an issue where zombies killed inside the bus would attack Players for a second before despawning.

Die Rise

Leapers no longer become stuck in the main elevator shaft.

Xbox 360 Buried

The Double Points upgrade now applies when purchasing ammunition for wall-buy weapons. Players are no longer able to Dive-To-Prone on a haystack in the Stables and become free from zombie attack. Fixed an issue in the starting area where Players were able to Dive-To-Prone and safely land on collision without going down the slide. Players are no longer able to Dive-To-Prone on a fence outside the Church and become free from zombie attack. Addressed an issue where Players were able to place a Trample Steam in the Courthouse tunnels, launch themselves into a wall, and become free from zombie attack. Fixed an issue where Players were receiving points by touching zombies with the Insta-Kill persistent upgrade active and a sniper rifle equipped. Players are no longer able to access unintended collision in-between the General Store and Stables and be free from zombie attack. Players no longer get stuck at the bottom of the slide when using Dive-To-Prone. Fixed an issue where zombies were getting stuck in walls when Players stood in Vulture-Aid stink. Players are no longer able to stand on invisible collision on the Stables' exterior and be free from zombie attack.

Once again, “Apocalypse” will feature four new maps (two are remakes of classics), the new Zombies “Origins” level, and will be the final DLC to be included in the Black Ops 2 Season Pass for the Xbox 360. We have a small gameplay video also for you to check out and get pumped up for the additions.
