Black Ops 2 Won’t Be Getting Any More New Guns Via DLC

4.7
Black Ops 2‘s first map pack, Revolution included a bonus weapon as part of its offerings – the Peacekeeper SMG – for the first time in Call of Duty history.

With no gun DLC announced as part of Uprising, Black Ops 2′s second map pack, the community have begun wondering why there won’t be a new gun introduced to the game for people who purchase Uprising.

When people started to question Treyarch, asking if there was going to be any new guns included in the Uprising map pack, the developer cleared things up once and for all. The gun DLC was a one time thing for Revolution only and there are no plans to include weapons in future Black Ops 2 DLC.

Uprising launches on Xbox 360 April 16.

The peacekeeper was supposed to be a gun that came with the retail game. Treyarch just pulled it out right before launch because of so many smgs and they decided to add it on to the map pack for players.

Sazomi Theory:
The reason they are not releasing a new gun is because they will have to release a new update with it. The update would add the coding/skins/models/sound effects/blah blah blah of the new gun(s) to people's hard drives.

People who download the DLC will automatically have the coding and etc. for the guns, but those people will obviously use the guns in multiplayer games against people without the DLC. In order for the players without the DLC to see and hear what they are being shot with they have to have the codes/sounds/skins/models/ for the gun. If they didn't then it would just look like a black box shooting blanks at them.

DLC maps only work with other people who have the DLC maps. DLC guns are a different story. They have to be set out in an update/patch to allow players who didn't buy the DLC to see it or pick it up mid match as well.

This is all from experience from Counter Strike 1.6. Whenever you joined a custom game and didn't have the coding for the maps/skin/guns/mod/sounds/blah blah blah/technical etc. then the game would automatically download it for you and then you could join the game.


Sounds good! .... also adding gus is kinda stupid anyways. because the first like month everyone only uses that gun which is pretty annoying

That is a very good theory sir, i actually agree this is why they are not adding anymore, to much effort for a gun.

WokzePosted:

i think its good they are not adding more, as this gun was the only gun being used for a couple of weeks and it was so boring with everyone using it, and i dont think it adds any excitement to the game at all, if they wanted to guns they should be in a separate pack, for something like 400 microsoft points, but i actually hope they dont do anymore as they were not very good.

I think it's a good thing that they are not adding any more guns. It gives the players an unfair advantage
