Black Ops 2 Origins set in Medieval Ruins with Knight Zombies

Treyarch have confirmed that Black Ops 2 Origins contains secret medieval ruins as revealed by the teaser picture. We're not sure of the exact date of the ruins but the Crusader theme is the best guess judging by the knights armour. So not only are we fighting against those giant robots but we're also dealing with medieval knights.

As you can see from the screenshot above, the zombies got glowing blue eyes and is coated in medieval style amour with pointy helmet, chest armour and chainmail underneath. It kinda resembles something out of Skyrim.

Not easy to see from the screenshot, which only shows his right hand holding a severed head, but close to the left side is the handle of a sword. We're guessing this zombie uses the sword to decapitate you pretty swiftly.

Crusaders and Medieval Ruins

Apart from the obvious knight zombie, the screenshot also shows temple ruins or a crypt of some kind. Taking a look at the history of France and medieval sites, there are plenty of ancient Roman sites so it's possible that this zombie is from the Roman army but more likely that he's part of the Crusaders (which is backed up by the official artwork for Origins).

Elemental Staff Wonder Weapon

On 22nd August, Treyarch shared the official artwork for Origins and it confirms the knights are Crusaders. The artwork also reveals the new wonder weapon - the Elemental Staff - which looks like a magical staff with a glowing yellow crystal at one end:
