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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is one of those games where you don't have to rely on doing only one thing. When I first got the game, I went to immediately play Zombies because that was the highlight of the game. I enjoyed the campaign, but there so many bugs, mostly in the state Khe Sanh. If you ever dare play veteran mode, you're more likely to have a hard time with the enemies. They don't drop grenades though.

I bought Black Ops Hardened edition from this website because i was going crazy over everyone playing this game. Long story short i payed for this copy at the student store at my college and when the release date came out i went to the store to pick it up and they didn't have it because supposedly it was a limited supply and i was so angry because i was eager to play this game with my friends online since i had dorm at college so far from home. So i got my money back and as last resort i bought it on amazon and in a matter of 3-5 days i received it and was so excited!!! It comes with the original zombie packs and extra ones, it came with a hard case unlike the others that's plastic, and a medal with a skull symbol.

This game is so fun and hope the other one will be, all was delivered fast and in new conditions, can't say it's not cool!

I really enjoy this game. Had it since it first came out in Nov 2010. It's all technique and skill when it comes down to mastering the movements and aiming. I'm at sensitivity 9 while using the controller on the PS3 and I'm just getting better. This game keeps me coming back for more during online game play vs the campaign mode. Just knowing I'm constantly competing for the best score and against the best players keeps me locked in. I have so many new games I've bought that I don't even play them (Killzone 2, Batman, Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, Socom 4, Assassins Creed II, Medal of Honor, etc...) just to name a few. My time is valuable so I end up playing Black Ops instead since I can't get enough of it.

Here are the gripes I have with this game:

-Re spawning areas near enemies (really annoying).

-Actual hit markers on the enemy (I shoot off target and I still hit the enemy or vice versa).

-Once you prestige up you lose all of your money that you've earned.

-When a host leaves during a game it stops the game and searches for another host which can possibly kick you out of the match.

-Finally, the infamous "Campers". Soooo many people love hiding to wait for someone to pass by to get an easy kill. If you're not a sniper then fight!

There are a couple of other minor negatives but these are the worst to me.

All in all this game is quite entertaining during online game play. I enjoyed the campaign as well but to me it's not as intense as live online gaming.

Enter MW3.

when you buy used hardened addition the codes do not work and you dont get any of the zombie maps and when you call activision they will not give codes for used games and amazon can not give you codes so you are paying more for a regular game. DO NOT BUY YOU GET RIP OFF

game is great it came the day the game came out at about 3 eastern time the lithograph that came with it from preorder is cool very happy with all that came with this item

CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS IS A SUPERB GAME WOTH LOTS OF ACTION AND A WIDE VARIETY OF CHOICE. GREAT GRAPHICS.

i bought this game used from this seller and it did not come with the promotion code to unlock the other maps , i used the cheat at the main menu two unlock the rest of the maps [3arc unlock] and i still only have 3 maps? i bought the original game a long time ago and loved the zombie maps but i wanted the rest of them. so i guess i got screwed again like always . anyway if ur going to by this then buy it knew not used
