Black Ops 2 Matchmaking no longer region based
@deveneyinteract @sans__ Yes. It is in and being tested. Not region based anymore. Latency/ping based exclusively.

Theoretically, this will lower the chance of host migration and drop outs.

Elite Free for Black Ops 2
Call Of Duty Elite will be free for Black Ops 2. This will include all of the services we had as paying members with Modern Warfare 3, except for the map packs. Maps will be delivered in 4 drops for $15 (1200 MS Points) each; Or by a season pass of 49.95 (4000 MS Points) for all 4.
So the only real change is for people who don't get maps, as they'll have Elite free now. Those of us who pay 50 last year for Elite and the maps will still be doing so this year for the map packs.

Nuketown 1st Look
Activision has released the 1st pic of Nuketown 2025
OXM also recently interviewed David Vondehaar, in which he had this to say about weapon balancing: "In Black Ops 2 right now, people are saying that the millimetre wave scanner isn't strong enough. Again, we're in alpha, we're still tuning, that's important - but if you walk around the emotional reactor, some people think the scanner needs to pulse faster. 'I need to see guys through walls better'

Again, we're in alpha, we're still tuning, that's important - but if you walk around the emotional reactor, some people think the scanner needs to pulse faster. 'I need to see guys through walls better'."
"But the data doesn't bear that out. That thing is badass and guys that use it are badass with it. There's always a balance between your emotional and visceral reaction for how something feels, and the truth about how much it helps you or not.
"I have the fortunate or unfortunate position of being judge, juror and executioner on all those decisions, and it puts me in an awkward spot. Because I have to look at people who think very passionately that it should pulse faster, show targets for longer, or maybe it shows them even when they're moving.
"All these are things we can tweak and tune, and they're telling me this, and I'm looking at them, saying: "I appreciate your feedback young man, but the data shows the truth about this." And that's game design and part of being a game designer, and it's fucking hard."

Favela removed from MW2
Until it can be patched, Favela is being removed from MW2. The full article can be found here. Apparently Muslims are not happy that a picture of Muhammad is found in the map. When viewed through a scope you can read a quote that translates into, " Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty."
The problem isn't with the picture itself or the quote, but the placement of the picture. It hangs in a bathroom above a toilet. Apparently that is a big offense to them, and it needs to be taken down so it won't offend. I could see a problem if the picture was in the toilet, possibly with a floater on it, but it's ridiculous to complain about it hanging on the wall; regardless of what room it's in.
If you still play MW2, Favela will be back later through a title update.

Halo 4 map previews
I know that most of us here are looking forward to Black Op2. But.. there are other games besides the Call Of Duty franchise that we like to play. Halo 4 is probably the other big game people might be excited for. So here are some multiplayer video's showcasing some of the maps from the forthcoming game.
And this last video concentrates more on the Mantis; A new vehicle that looks overpowered, but fun.

Weapons Generator
Found an awesome Weapons Generator. It will give you a good feel ahead of time of what classes you can and can't set up with the 10 - point system. Have fun!
