Black Ops 2 DLC 2 Orientation - Dead High Zombies Map. Fake?

Posted in black ops 2

A leaked image appears to show the second instalment in the Black Ops 2 DLC series. According to the image the map pack will be called Orientation and the next zombies map will be called Dead High. So is this leaked image real or fake?

The new maps shown in the image are:

• Water
• Mobile
• Southpaw
• Plane
• Dead High (zombies map)

As with most fakes, the first place to tell a fake is in the re-use of old images from other games or older versions of the game. If we zoom into the image of the zombies map we can see a zombie hand which is pretty unimaginitive. Not much for us to invetigate there!

However, there are also high rise buildings shown in the background. I don't think Treyarch would come out with another tall building map for zombies.

As far as leaks go, the quality of the image is not bad; although blurry, it's not obvious that it's been photoshopped. However, we can't see the sides of the poster and the layout is very similar to the first DLC poster which certainly makes a Photoshop attempt easier.

Is it fake?

I'm afraid it's more than likely. The leak has 3 fundamental flaws:

1. The timing

It's only been 3 weeks since Revolution was released on Xbox. PS3 and PC players haven't seen the first DLC yet. Promotional activity wouldn't start until the last DLC was released on all platforms.

2. The map name

Dead high sounds extremely lame. What is this a high school reunion map with zombies in it?

3. It's another vertical map

Highly unlikely that we'll see another vertical zombies map after Die Rise.
