Call of Duty: Black Ops II Nuketown Zombies Hits Season Pass Holders, Probation Issue Addressed

Lee Bradley

The Nuketown Zombies map hits Call of Duty: Black Ops II on Xbox 360 today, for those with a Season Pass.

The map was originally only available for “Hardened Edition” and “Care Package” edition owners.

“Nuketown Zombies hits Xbox 360 BlackOps2 Season Pass holders tomorrow [Wednesday, December 12]. Which weapon will you Pack-A-Punch with first?” said Activision.

In addition to this, Treyarch has issued an update designed to address the probation system in the game. 

A bug had led to players kicked from a game due to host migration earning a strike towards their “probation period.”

It led to players being unable to play Black Ops 2 for a set period of time, despite doing nothing wrong.

Following the update, strikes towards probation should only accumulate when pre-maturely leaving a match.

“A live update has been released addressing Probation and security-related issues. Keep calm and frag on,” said Treyarch.

  • Completely unacceptable . This game has been riddled with riddles since its release. Money talks? not in this case. Peace -ConQ-
  • I think its a rip off that its 50 dollars ill wait until there's a deal.
  • 'Hello, lowest common denominator, Treyarch here. Can you hold down the RT like a boss? Hit the grenade button with reckless abandon and no thought for tactical play? How about a willingness to play the same game every year with maybe a new gun here and there if we can be arsed? If this sounds like you, then please ask your lovely parents to throw £45 at the gormless cashier in your local 'Game' store and ask for 'the game that all the cool kids play'. They'll know what you mean ;) xxx'
  • i asked my parents not to get me this game for christmas. i hope i dont see it under that tree. i'd rather the money spent on something useful, like animal shelters.
  • Funny, seems to me that skyrim and battlefield are the games all the 'cool' gaming nerds play at my school... Funny, seems kinda like playing xbox360 isn't actually a cool thing to do... amazing. (My way of asking #3 and #4 to stop talking out their asses and enjoy the game for what it is.)
  • @5 I think you're off in lala land my engagedmetal friend. This is the biggest selling game EVER , EVERY year = popular. The game itself is shit. There for question marks are running around our heads as to why it can sell so well and still be shit. And then they throw this bomb shell ( the article you didn't read) that its also a rip off. Expensive - Shit p o p u l a r = Mind blown.
  • @5 You're forgetting the Visual Nov- erm, "Game of the Year" at the VGA's. ;) (I think at least three of my friends started playing The Walking Dead video game this past weekend.) OT: Seems like Treyarch does more damage with their good intentions, especially when it comes to clueless, innocent players.
  • @3 why are you so bothered about what " the cool kids are playing " anyway.You should just play what YOU want and stop telling everyone else what not to play.You just sound bitter.
  • Usually a season pass is about $30 but the $50 for this game is stupid. If I'm going to pay for the game twice every batch of dlc better cost $20 and contain a zombies map at least as big as Tranzit with at least 3 separate survival/grief maps derived from it.
  • @8 I think that was part of his (very funny( joke. The irony is that you 'bothered' to comment off topic to debase him for the very think you berated hm for. Classic Buzzardio 1080 -ConQ-
  • oh boy, they fixed an issue that just started THIS WEEK after the recent patch. No one i played with had probation problems until the patch, including me, Yet they fixed it FAST and everyone wants to whine and call the game crap. *DURRR* Battlefield is better or "Insert Game name here" Yet battlefield patches need their own hand manual to read through them all. I got burned out on CoD, but i gave this a go. Ya know what i found? I enjoy it far more than past broken and rarely if EVER patched CoD titles. At least Treyarch put in the effort to make sure their game received the fixes it needs. At least they balance the game out so nothing is too OP and cheap. I have played games that everyone shouts from rooftops to be one of the best AAA titles ever made, Skyrim etc. Yet those games are riddled with glitches and bugs from top to bottom, but that is just fine right? As long as it is not the game all the bandwaggoners claim to be crap and complain about all the time before they shut down their computer and load up the game themselves. I have respected everyone's opinion that has given it when speaking with friends or friends of friends about the game, and most any complaint i have heard, has a solution they are just too stubborn to use. "There are too many UAV going up!" use ghost! "Bouncing bettys and claymores are cheap!" Use engineer. I have yet to hear a single person playing this one complain about anything that is actually wrong with the game itself, and not whats wrong with their choice of tactics and methods of play. So what if there is a new one every year. The NFL and NBA milk money out of people every single year and its the exact same game for decades. But its what people like and enjoy, so they take part in it. Same thing applies here and to any game for that matter. If people enjoy it, that is their preference, If you do not...No one cares! That is your opinion and it is not going to change the fact that no matter how much you whine or complain and lose sleep over the fact that the game will outsell anything you play or hold merit to, people will still buy it, people will still play it, people will still love it and I am sure that just eats you up inside to no end. I'm not losing sleep over it, I enjoy it. Watching whiners and kids who think its the "Cool Thing" to trash talk a game that people go to work on for months and months at a time to support their families and put their hard work and pride into is truly what is "crap" here. You do a shitty job at your place of employment, no one takes pride or care in what you do if in fact you do work and do not just pull on mommy and daddies pant leg begging for that fresh new game all your friends are playing. Either way, I'm sure you'd whine and cry if people talked shit about your work ethic, or whatever it is you do and take pride in doing. At the end of the day, you will most likely never achieve the merit the people behind these games have, and you most certainly will never come close to the income it brings. People enjoy the game, I enjoy the game. We smile and bathe in your tears of sorrow and jealousy over a game that you cannot help but let get under your skin. You may say you do not care, but the fact you take the time to complain remotely about a game you claim you hate so much you will never play it, shows how much you truly do care. So care on carebears, its not going anywhere.
  • @11 Your user name describes how I feel after reading all that.
  • @10 all im saying is you must be one hell of a sddo, to a)think your opinion is fact and b) bother commenting on something you dont like. unless you're looking to troll that is.
  • @13 if thats what you think why did YOU do it? His opinion is fact. You do press rt and you do throw grenades? Would you prefer he told people how great it was? would that make you happy? Classic Buzzardio.
  • Hey conquisidor, english isn't your first language is it?
  • 'ConQ' your Halo fanboy tears are impacting what you're trying to get across - you're making no sense. Unless you're purposefully trying to come across as a mong, then fair enough. I stand corrected. All we need now is some blind hatred from ZLU, and we're all set. *grabs popcorn* On topic: Season Pass is way too expensive for me, as I'd only be getting it for zombies. Hopefully it won't be long till it's on sale, like MW3's Elite thing.
  • @14 some people like it, some dont , but dont go thinking just because you dont like it, that is fact.The fact it sells so many proves this point , and the school kid thing is just getting old , my 10 year old only plays battlefield and halo!(like all his mates)both games i think are great. ps im already happy, what about you?
  • @#15 I believe his 1st language is MASSIVE WANKER.
  • @16 i hate halo. @17 so you only attack people that dont like something? constructive @15 yes it is. @18 why do you crop up every thread off topic? do you not have a field to plow?
  • #19 I have just ploughed your mum. It was awesome. OT I haven't played BLOPS 2. I normally buy it but this year couldn't be arsed.
  • @18, lol. @19, wow... just... wow... you are joking right???
  • @20 you're embarrassing yourself. Reported. @19 whats wow? i mean really. what warrants a double wow? try to be specific instead of a generic ambiguous fool.
  • @#22 I am devastated. You manage to make yourself look like a prick every single time you post, why shouldn't others be able to join in the fun?
  • @23 your thought process is to come on the article. Read my comments then directly insult me. You owe me an apology or i Shall be reporting you.
  • Also you seem to be talking to yourself? Maybe less time lurking in forums and more time outside meeting some warm-blooded females may help?
  • That akward moment when Zombies is the most innovative feature about your game ;-)
  • @26 Im talking to you? I could refer to the penis reference on your public profile but i wont. I have reported you to the highest authority. Good Day sir. -ConQ-
  • @22 i see you're popular around these parts , trolling makes no friends,i see you must be getting flustered as you are even repling to yourself -classic conq
  • @8 My original post was obviously tongue in cheek, but grounded in reality just enough to strike a chord with the mindless defenders of the cynical cash in that the franchise has become. So well done sir, for being you.
  • @29 Why are you trying to troll me by replying to comments that don't concern you? Is this what you teach your 10 year old battlefield playing son? that insulting people on forums is allowed (as well of playing 18 rated games that is)
  • I refer to: Comment #22 by Conquisidor Wednesday, December 12, 2012 @ 06:18:25 AM (0) @20 you're embarrassing yourself. Reported. @19 whats wow? i mean really. what warrants a double wow? try to be specific instead of a generic ambiguous fool. Comment #19 by Conquisidor Wednesday, December 12, 2012 @ 06:06:48 AM (-1) @16 i hate halo. @17 so you only attack people that dont like something? constructive @15 yes it is. @18 why do you crop up every thread off topic? do you not have a field to plow? Get me blud?
  • @32 Would that not strike a man of your overwhelming intellect as a type since i spend the first 3 words making a direct reference to his statement? really are clutching straws arnt you. now quick! log on you buzz account and respond!
  • @30 so you admit you were trolling brilliant.But no worries, im happy being me , and im also happy playing games i like and not getting to worked up about the "cynical cash in".
  • @32 Blud? hahahaha. Tell me you wear a do rag and walk around like you have a cock permanently jammed inside you? Westside.
  • Sorry dude you fucked up. You're replying to your own posts. They are super AWESOME so I can't blame you. Chin up captain you'll get a blow job one day.
  • @34 A tongue in cheek joke comment is not the same as trolling. Acting like a pissy little bitch could however be considered trolling, so I'm just going to go ahead and mark all your posts. :)
  • @#35. I wouldn't go that far! I have some Nike Air Max if that helps?!
  • @37 "just enough to strike a chord with the mindless defenders of the cynical cash in that the franchise has become." From @30 sure sounds to me like you were looking for a rise, ie trolling. @31 you sir replied to my comment 8 that didnt concern you so ,once again classic conq.
  • Now now, kids. Let's get along. Stop feeding the troll, he appears to be hungry.
  • @40 comment number 8 was in regards to the article. I know its crazy that you could actually stay on topic. Though now im thinking you're trolling for trying to wind everyone up about your illegal activities of giving minders violent videos games. Personally. id be ashamed. But i guess you made that up to upset people, people HATE bad parents.
  • @40 Any reason you haven't cried at #4 or #7, since they also posted humerous and tongue in cheek comments in regards to the franchise? Oh, because you decided to troll me? Is that it? Very gangster. Reported.
  • @42 i gave it to a minor , not my minder, anyway, i seems this is going no where so ,im of for a few rounds of cod, merry christmas everyone.
  • Apologies: @CONQUISIDOR Nobody likes you. I don't suck cock, I prefer female company as my girlfriend of 7 years would hopefully confirm. If I did like to suck cock would offend you? Or turn you on?
  • @44 Illegal activity must be part of your gangsta persona. Well done for training tomorrows youth. @45 You don't have to apologies Gonin. Just don't base an argument on something you don't do yourself. It makes you look like a retard. You tried to go down this female route last time. It didn't end well for you. You sure you want to do it again? blah blah blah iv a girlfriend route?
  • @45 Your girlfriend is 7 years old?
  • @48 Im stunned that you have just deflected my question. But stunned as i was. openly admitting you're a pedophile has knocked me off my chair. I think we will leave it at that. Reported.
  • Why are you guys even replying to Conquisidor. What you're doing is called feeding the troll. Admittedly I find these flamewars amusing but if you don't and want him to stop trolling, just ignore his comments at all.
  • @44 im about as gangsta as bagpuss, you and neo are the ones who started talking about gangsta/ minders ( classic conq).
  • @50 i think you need to re-read my comments. Iv not once trolled anyway. -ConQ-
  • @#49, I realise the joke must have passed you by. I was merely giving a humurous comment to a humurous question. My girlfriend was born 21/7/1987. I think she's 24. I hope your chair is OK?
  • @53 Humerous comment? That Buzzard guy will report you, apparently that's trolling. As for openly admitting you are a paedophile, that's just not right.
  • #54 well done. you may as well call the police now detective.
  • @55 I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't already on the way, pervert.
  • @54 I dont report anyone ,nor do i thumb up or down any comments on these boards.Reporting people on a videogame website forum is pretty lame im sure you'll all agree.
  • #57 yes it is. As is taking people's comments as admission of heinous crimes. I'm sure that if I was actually a paedo I wouldn't spent time talking to drips like CONQUISIDOR. Although it's pretty fun.
  • @53 You find child exploitation funny? Youre a sick bastard.
  • #59 That virginity isn't going to lose itself. Get your mum to make a nice flask of soup for you to keep you warm. It's going to be a long wait.
  • @60 Comment #47 by NeoVampyre Wednesday, December 12, 2012 @ 07:09:03 AM @45 Your girlfriend is 7 years old? Comment #48 by Gonin Wednesday, December 12, 2012 @ 07:11:10 AM @#47, of course. It helps with 'discipline'. @#46. Are you still here? Don't you have your virginity to lose or something? APOLOGISE BTW. End of conversation.
  • #61. I'm not sure it is. Fair play I made a comment in bad taste. I was joking. You on the other hand are a joke. Apologies to any out there that I caused offence to, except CONQUISIDOR until he loses his virginity.
  • @. Actually super mario bros on nes is the biggest selling game ever.
  • past caring. pre ordered hardened. got shafted with zombies being removed after 6 days. got shafted again by being told seasons. pass holders would now get the nuketown zombies which was "apparently" exclusive to pre ordered/ special editions. wasted an extra £20 on an extremely too large box and a few camouflage skins/emblems. and that's before we get to the online which quite frankly is pathetic. never have I played such a mess of a game after saying so much money. this game is now collecting dust
  • Thank God these comments arent about the game and are insults to one another on an online website....
  • Okay! So to try to get back on topic! I like that nuke town zombies is coming, though granted I'm not fond of the season pass price ($50 is mad expensive). And didn't they remove Nuketown earlier this month from being normally accessible? If so, then I feel that at least those who had the Nuketown DLC originally should get this upcoming one for free.
  • @65 Off topic, reported etc.
  • Boring..........
  • That was a good read...
  • whats really pissed me off about this whole nuketown thing, is that originally they stated it would be free with the pre-order of the game, it would also come as a zombie map too. this was shortly pulled when the announcement of the season pass came... so they could temp people to buy the season pass. this has disgust me and several other gamers out there that are plainly pissed off with the situation.
  • what a waste of money the hardened edition was..
  • I just want them to add Nuketown 2025 to matchmaking in all playlists. Is that too much to ask?
  • Skyrim is a year old and still has gamebreaking bugs. Morrowind,Oblivion,Fallout3 and New Vegas all had issues. Same thing with Assassin's Creed and Battlefield.(among other games) so why does everyone cry harder for this game's bugs? anyways,im not a fan of Zombie maps so how come i cant get a cheaper "Multiplayer Only" season pass? Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare had great season passes, the other companies should learn from them.
  • @72 aparently so...not everyone got the nuketown map either .. if you purchased it from a supermarket you didn't get the map! so they'd need to put it up for free which would piss off the people who preordered... so its lose lose.
  • leave Conquisidor alone, he's only defending himself against trolls, I've read every comment and this is absurd to say the least. The guy had like 5 people commenting at him and when he replies to them all he's "replying to himself" cut the crap. Also to Comment #3 by NeoVampyre Classic NeoVampyre ! On Topic.... NO ON TOPIC
  • people gotta stop talking shit; its just a game you don't like it? well don't read the info on it damn bro.
  • Cool, I am semi expecting to see it under the tree this year=D Can't wait to spend 10 hours on a most thrilling and action packed campaign of the year as always (no matter how ridiculous it is, let's face it we don't play CoD for it's story=P). I will probably put some serious time into Zombies as always and a little bit of MP won't hurt either. To sum up to all ppl complaining, it could be worse. Dishonored, great as it is, lasted me maybe 12hrs to do 2 entirely different playthrough, which is sort of little value out of $60=/
  • First off... WOW.... that was painful to read through all of the above comments. Second I have bothe the Nuketown 2025 and nuketown zombies. Had from day one. They took it off MP and pissed a lot of people of... IMO people that boosted rank... small map... high kills... etc... I have waited for the season pass to finally update the map for the people so i can play nuke zombies with my list... as to the fact not everyone bought the hardened or prest. ed. I knew from the begin that the nuke zombies map was not included. it was clearly ooutlined. If people can not understand, i feel sorry for the lot. Teryarch has committed to fixing any bugs in the game. Are there a lot more to address... yes... but, think about Gears of War 3... it took forever for Epic to start addressing issues and if you go back to the threads.... you see some of the same shit popping up... you're a troll blah blah blah COD fan boy... your momma etc... Grow up and play the game. If you don't like it... spend your money someplace else. You were not forced to buy the game... or even ask someone to buy it for you. Put on some big boy underwear and man up.
  • @4 as nice as that sounds i think your full of shit you would rather have your parents buy you shit so stop trying to lie to people you don't even know
  • i think ill give this game a go for christmass, its been a while since i played fist person shooters. From the trailers i have seen the game looks awesome! still i find playing COD - World at War the most fun. me and my friends use to play that until midnight...
  • As someone who works at a videogame store, I understand what people like in their videogames. I get parents in all the time asking about the latest flashy, banging babysitter for their 8-year old child, and my answer is usually (since its release) BLOPS II. However, when they buy it, most of the time, they have this sort of sad, defeated look on their faces, the one they might have if they were watching their child's leg be amputated. At first, I just believed that it was merely a subconscious response to spending $67.19 on a videogame, but now I think I understand why. Perhaps these people who buy these games for their children do realize that they are simply a bottle of triple-bleached baby formula that smells vaguely of lemon and last year's profit margins, but they have simply been crushed under the weight of the staggering progress of the videogame industry. There's no place for real fighters anymore, at least ones who fight and have money in their wallets. These same people, who defied their parents objections and played Street Fighter II Turbo back in the day, are now parents themselves, but because the ambiguity of the common game has been stripped in order to make room for fleshed-out storylines with amazing cinematography and top-of-the-line graphics, there is simply nothing to complain about anymore, or at least, no argument that isn't instantly silenced with a fistful of cash. Basically, if this was too long to read, here is the summary. Though BLOPS II has its problems like every other game, there is little one can do by arguing its presence in front of a large, digitalized audience, as well as all the so-called "Triple-A" games on the market today. Because this is the way of the future, people. Get used to it.
  • @74 I don't see why they can't release it for like 160 Microsoft Points to the masses, hell, even 320 Microsoft Points would be acceptable to most people. This way everyone can get it, everyone can play it and nobody gets screwed.
  • Figures.
  • @81, when you compare to how things where there with the fleshed out aspects, there is a massive difference, but BLOPS II is hardly a good example of that thb. It's an outdated engine being stretched to it's limits, cinematography, fair enough, in depth aspects, not to massive likely, but anyway. I think it'll be more on the idea of the deflated look, if you do actualy see that, will be on a combination of the money, and the mindless nature and ease of the game. Or combinations of those points. Nice that they're at least giving out the map to people through some means I guess, but it should be buyable to all soon as well, for about 400 ms points at a push? I'd see them charging that for it easily personly and getting away with it.
  • @76 Fuck right off. I wasted £60 on this shower of shit if I want to bitch about it I will
  • Good game, could have been better. Also, a new engine would be nice.
  • I paid 37 dollars for the season pass and only 60 bucks for the care package edition. Not sure why people don't try trading in stuff for a game but just complain about how much they spent. It is only your fault for spending that money so don't complain.
  • They really are taking the piss now. Take away our 'free pre-order bonus' nuketown map and now try and sell it back to us in a slightly different form! Fuck you Activision, fuck you.
  • 1,6,10,12,14,19,22,24,28,31,33,39,42,46,49,52,59,61: First of all, you're an idiot. Your own name is misspelled. Good job. Second of all, you are a troll. For reference, see the number of posts that you've made on this topic, all saying the same shit. Third of all, we're glad you don't like this game. You've stated your opinion (many times, when once would have sufficed), and this site would be a much better place if jackwads like you could state your opinion and then walk away, instead of being an annoying cunt about it. Fourth of all, we are glad that you didn't enjoy this game. Even reviewing the comments, it seems like most people actually agree with you. But some people, like myself, might actually enjoy the game. Cramming your opinions down everyone else's throat doesn't really do anything for anyone. Good for you for putting your opinion on the table, forcefully. But at the end of the day, nobody's going to remember a fucking moron like you or the overly retarded fashion in which your name is spelled. OT: Nice. I don't care for Zombies, though.
  • @87 I get your point. If you spend the money on a game, don't complain about it, right... now... trading in games, or items to decrease the value of a game you are purchasing isn't doing yourself much justice either. So if I wanted to trade in Hitman for CODBO2, they would give me say $20 credit, which from the $60 I spent on Hitman originaly, I'm now down $40. Plus I have to spend another $40 to purchase CODBO2. So sure, it keeps you from spending cash, but it isn't a value to trade games in.
  • i traded this the other day got so sick of shooting rubber bullets, i mean shooting people with a full mag of the AN94 and they dont die.... what the hell is up with that, if i want to play a shooter when you have to blast the shit out of someone before they die i'd go an play halo, think i'm going to have to get back into battlefield 3
  • They screw us every fucking year. Why do I pay more for the Hardened Edition, when they throwing an EXCLUSIVE map from the Hardened & Care Package Edition in the first download? Fuck that...
  • @92 Agreed. I got Black Ops 1 Prestige Edition maybe a month before Moon came out and felt like they screwed me over. It was $150 even though the game was out for maybe a year at the time. Only thing that actually made me somewhat happy was the RC-XD. Even though it eats up batteries like crazy and its in my closet for safe keeping on its stand
  • (For those who don't know: Prestige Edition had the original zombies maps on it and when Moon came out, it added all of the original maps. All that was done about it was we got Moon for free and the zombies soundtrack)
