Black Ops 2 features in-game livestreaming and 'Shoutcasting'

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is looking to leave a mark on the future with its feature list, bringing livestreaming options into the series for the first time in its history. Developer Treyarch has revealed that Black Ops 2 will include the ability to stream and Shoutcast directly from the game on all platforms when it launches on November 13.

In the mode, two players can serve as Shoutcasters – otherwise known as commentators – for a multiplayer match. Though inspired by the eSports crowd, the mode is available to all. Players can shoutcast games live as they are taking place or add commentary to games saved in the Theater mode of Black Ops 2.

Delayed livestreams can be activated from the menu at any time, feeding the game to a web browser for anyone on a PC, Mac, or mobile device to watch.

crazyxxsniperxx44 There WILL be problems at launch with the servers. I guarantee it


Yeah i think that happened with Mw3 elite and some online stuff and at the start of black ops you couldn't search for a game with friends

Bender- this seams like a great feature! but the quality will have to be at least 720p or 1080p
hope this works out and i hope they put it in zombies.


I dont think it will be 1080p hopefully atleast 720p


ya because of all the data being streemed from everyone it would have to be lower

You are so right. There are always server problems, but with something like this it's gonna be hell. There's gonna be some retarded glitch with shoutcasting where the shoutcasters spawn in but can't get killed or something

It's cool because Promod has shoutcasting. They're taking more and more ideas from the PC gaming community. Now they just need a FoV slider :)

All I hate about some of these new features is that it will lead to more tryhards. I mean that's what I'm getting the game for but I'll want to screw around on it.
