GT: SYN Seraph, Position: Freelancer

Revolution, the first DLC or downloadable content for Black Ops 2, went over quite well with consumers and gamers alike. The DLC packed a new strong punch with its introduction of a new gun to the Call of Duty universe. The Peacekeeper as such named is a cross between an assault rifle and Sub machine gun. Awesome Right? The guns new qualities makes the new maps feel right at home with its all-around capabilities. Get your ammo packs ready because you’ll be using the Peacekeeper till you get it gold.

Downhill the first new map of the Season introduces the first snow climate map on Black Ops 2. For all you snipers out there pull out your DSR because you will need to be aimed and ready to fire with its wide open areas and its sniper spots covering every angle. Don’t feel left out if you don’t like to snipe because this map is designed for all gun fights from sub machine guns to assault rifles. The maps interior includes a new ski lift that will be your best friend or your worst enemy if you get near one and gives great support and cover. All in all Downhill is overall is a great new addition to the DLC.

Mirage, don’t let its name fool you this map is far from it. The way this map is laid out is one of the most intriguing maps of the DLC. Mirage introduces a more rounded or circled map. As you play it feels like you are going in a circle the entire time moving around the map. The map welcomes Snipers to an extent, its sides offer long lines of fire but most if the fight is in the middle where unless you’re like myself and quick scope your snipers void. Its sandy new terrain offers a new look and a dried up pool to the DLC.

Hyrdo, the third map of this installment has to be the most complex. The map offers to the table an underground spill way that will kill you if you’re not too careful. Its broad interior and enclosed exterior makes the map one of the best tactical maps I believe of the DLC. Hydros exteriors and sharp turns makes sniping nearly impossible except to the bravest of snipers, this is truly a map to test out that gold Peacekeeper of yours we all know you have. Overall Hyrdo is one of the best thought out and well placed maps of the DLC.

Grind, is exactly what is says if you have to literally grind your way across that map like its Tony Hawk Pro Skater. The map the corner out of corner camping with its new round edged skate design making moving around corners slightly easier and not worrying about to many people waiting around it for you. Grind nearly makes it impossible to snipe unless you stay to the exterior of the map and leave all the close based killing in the middle. Grind is literally a skate park everything including the interior a skate shop so you are sure to have fun on this map I guaranty it. The map itself isn't supposed to be for tactical purposes but it does its job at entertainment for the whole community.

At Last we cannot forget the most important DLC Die Rise and Turned. I think I speak for the whole community and saying this Zombie Map packs a punch in a whole new way with its twists and turns. If you don’t watch yourself you will lose yourself in the map and get killed by a new wave of monkey like zombies that spawn in a rush on the walls and ceiling killing you around wave 5 if you’re not careful. This map is so large that going up and down this map several times will set in for some unique and awesome gameplay. We cannot forget about Turned either this new intense game mode allows you to become what everyone has been waiting on the Zombie. As fun as this game mode sounds constricting the game mode to The Dinner and only allowing several people play in one game is a disappointment. It does make for a good introduction to a new idea. If you are bored or just want to try it out go play turned and test it out for yourself and release your inter zombie.

This DLC is surprisingly quite worth paying for, unlike the disappointment we all felt from MW3’s DLC Maps. This is a great start from the DLC Season I am looking forward to seeing more from Treyarch. Rumored from numerous sources the next DLC is called Orientation and will introduce four new multiplayer maps, one zombie map, and a new DLC gun like the last DLC. The maps so called names are Water, Southpaw, Mobile, and Plane. The new Zombie Map will be Dead High, as well as the new DLC gun which is yet named but looks similar to a cross between a sniper and an assault rifle. So I’m expecting great things from Treyarch in this coming season.

720 APP SECOND ARTICLE

720 App Second Article

Xbox 720 or code named Durango is the new upcoming predecessor of our beloved 360. A lot of people are wondering how could anything surpass our 360, but I can honestly say when I’m done here you will be quite impressed. The 720 is not set to release till early 2014 with the PS4 set to release this winter how will Xbox stand up to the PS4’s early release? Xbox is holding out till next year to work out bugs and get a set of quality servers to surpass PS4 and a better quality system.

Xbox 720 will have quite a package under the hood when it’s released. Its AMD Radeon HD 8000M series graphics chip makes games graphics quite a punch and lush as the PS4 and will have twice as much processing power of the Wii U. A few games that we are looking forward to being released on the console will be Assassin Creed 4 and the big one Halo 5.

The 760’s 16GB Memory or Ram will make multitasking a breeze and load times amazingly fast with little to no lag time. The greatest new addition to the 720 is the Blue Ray Player, which takes PlayStation’s lead over the Xbox away on that part. The 720 will also include a new improved Internet Explorer so PS4 lets see you step up now. With the new console come some very needed updates like a broader friends list with over a 1000 friends, and it plans to be more interactive with social networking sites such as Facebook.

The release of the 720 means the release to a new improved Kinect 2 system. This system will be set to have one of the most integrated movement readings and voice recognition software and more interactive with social networking and video chats as well as party chats. You will be able to finally move and control Internet Explorer with just direct hand movements. The Kinect may actually use your eye recognition to log into your account on Xbox Live, which I think that would be pretty sweet.

The 720 will be a force to be recon with once it is released; PlayStation 4 will have quite a challenge to keep up with the Xbox. The Xbox will try to be more than just a gaming console it wishes to be a 360 entertainment system to bring everything you love and enjoy into one, making entertainment less complex and less waiting and tons of fun for every kind of consumer from family games to die hard competitive multiplayer

STAR WARS EPISODE VII

Star Wars Episode VII

Star Wars Episode VII the largest most anticipated movie for the nerd world, planned for its release in 2015. I can tell you me personally I’m beyond excited for this movie to hit theaters. A lot of people have some questions about simple things like actors, plot, and Disney’s role in this. I can say since George Lucas turned down his big director role and gave it to JJ Abrams, I was a disappointed, but Ill give JJ his due he did a great job with Star Trek not trying to sound like a treky. His story and production to the show Lost so insane and twisted I can see him going far with this.

As far as actors going to play in Episode VII, the cast has yet to be chosen. Rumors from several sources say Harrison Ford will return as Han Solo, which of course would make the plot of the new movie after the Galactic Civil War and the down fall of the Empire. Personally I think they will and should take a step back and do a prequel to the Clone Wars and show nerds where Jedi came from and how the Sith’s got outcast to the planet Korriban.

One thing that Star Wars fans have a problem with is the fact Disney bought Star Wars. I couldn’t see any better company buying Star Wars. Just look at how successful Disney has been since making movies and how thick and intense there movies have been. Disney will have a time to compete with George Lucas, but Disneys Michael Arndt will have his chance to shine. Michael is famous for his work with the movies Toy Story 3, Oblivion, Brave, and Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Michael will be working with George Lucas to make an intense and insane story so im not worried to much about the story.

The Movie is set to release in 2015, its anticipated as the biggest movie of the decade. They plan to have some of the largest crowds in recorded history planning to be there release day. I know I am pretty excited and all of us at SYNdicate as well. With JJ Abrams, George Lucas, Disney and maybe Harrison Ford this movie will be off the walls insane. Any Trek fan will be disappointed because Star Wars is about to take back the movies by force.
