Latest CoD DLC!

On June 2nd for Xbox one/360 the supremacy DLC will be released for download. With most CoD DLC there are 4 Multiplayer maps and 1 zombie map (Treyarch/Sledgehammer) now since my blog is about zombies I will be focusing on the exo zombie map. There isn't that much information for it yet but what I have read is telling me there is a new character joining the team but the unfortunate side is that there is only 4 characters which means 1 of them has to go.

At the end of the last Exo zombie map (Infection) there is a clip of the four characters about to get over run by zombies but then an atlas warbird swoops in and kills the zombies. This is when we get our first look at the new character not much worth mentioning  happens after that until the end where he says he is joining the team but then says 'but one of you has to go' now the screen goes black after that and that's it.












(*****SPOILER ALERT****)


Now when I was looking for more information on this the current theory is that it is Oz who is being replaced which is unfortunate since he was my favourite characters 1 reason was because of the lines he got but mostly because I like the actor who plays him John Malkovich.



I am personally looking forward to playing this map because it looks better than the previous two and I should have a post on my thoughts and opinions after.

Dead Island! Bugs/Glitches!

Dead Island is well known for having bugs and glitches in the game. I haven't played it personally but  I was reading up on it recently looking at all the bugs and glitches and there is a lot of them, which surprised me because the game is quite popular and has DLC and a couple sequels. I haven't looked up any glitches or bugs that are on any other installments because I didn't think there would be as many as the first one.



The bugs/glitches change on each platform you play on I assuming because each system runs the game in a different way even if it is in a subtle way it can affect the game. Luckily there are glitches that are on every platform some that can help you get an advantage but also some that can hinder your progress. With most games that you have an inventory there is a way to duplicate your items even if it is to save you time or the items are hard to get it, in that way I can understand why people would want to do it but there are also some which could mess up the game. Dead Island is no exception to this because there are several ways to duplicate your items and luckily they are easy and doesn't cause you to lose anything.



In Dead Island there are a few good glitches then there are the ones that can get annoying over time especially the disappearing gun glitch. The disappearing gun glitch can happen at any time and unfortunately isn't just applied to the lower tier weapons even the hard to obtain weapons which could really annoy people playing the game considering how much time they have put into the game and what gun disappears. They are also other bad glitches which are just annoying because it can make you skip missions altogether or there are ones which hinder your progress and make you spend longer on the mission than is necessary.



I haven't let this influence my decision but the way the game plays doesn't suit the kind of experience I want while playing a zombie game.

Treyarch Zombies: A Little History!

In 2008 Treyarch released World at War which was their first Call of Duty to contain there much loved zombie survival game mode. As some developers do they leave hidden as we call ‘Easter Eggs’ for players to look for and find. In this case Treyarch were working on a secret project which would be unlocked at the end of the campaign. 

With the lead up to the release of World at War the secret project was almost thrown out the window because it was taking too long to develop but after Mark Lamia played the game mode he decided that it needed to be in the game and they still managed to finish the game on time. The zombie game mode was never advertised or publicized so they could keep as a secret until the first person completed the game and let everyone know, the zombie game is revealed with a cut scene it starts straight after the campaign when the player is lying on the ground surrounded by plane parts on fire which indicates a plane crash, while the  player is taking in the surroundings a black figure seems to be running at the player which doesn't indicate anything suspicious yet but as the figure gets closer, the player can start to see that there is something wrong with the figure and before the player knows it the figure is now revealed as a zombie the screen goes black at the zombie game mode starts and is revealed.

Ever since then the Zombie game mode has become more and more popular even getting its own story line now in the newest CoD (Black ops 3) which has got people on the edge of their seats for more news leading up to the games release which unfortunately isn't until 6.11.15.

The Walking Dead S5, E16

On this week's the walking dead...

Rick wakes up in a prison cell after being knocked out by Michonne in the previous episode, while that is going on Deanna is still deciding what to do after everything has happened and what was said to her by Gabriel. Deanna decides to hold a meeting inviting everyone in the town to vote on what happens to the group. Rick is heading to the meeting to hear his fate when he sees 3 walkers that have managed to enter the camp and quickly kills 2 off them but struggling with the third leaving us on the edge of our seats to see the outcome of the fight, While we are watching the fight it keeps going back and fourth to Glenn who is being lead into a trap by Nicholas. At this point I was on the edge of my seat because i'm not sure if i have mentioned this before but Glenn is my favourite character and I think the show would be ruined without him. Nicholas then shoots Glenn but gets him in the shoulder so he doesn't die like Nicholas wanted and fights back.

It then goes back to Rick who eventually kills the walker and it swiftly moves back to Glenn who beats Nicholas but spares his life and returns him to the camp. Rick makes it to the meeting and throws down the dead walker in order to prove a point on how much he is needed and then goes on about that. He is rudely interrupted by a drunk Pete who goes for him holding Michonne's sword but Reg walk's in front and Pete pushes him away but ends up slicing his throat open with the sword and he bleeds to death. Deanna then turns to Rick and tells him to kill Pete, Rick doesn't hesitate and kills him. To his horror Rick turns and sees Morgan, Morgan had been watching the whole time and was mortified that the man he knew had become what he was now.

In my opinion this was one of the better episodes in series 5 and ending it on that scene has left me unable to wait for season 6 to begin to see what happens between Morgan and Rick.

The Walking Dead S5,E14

On this weeks The Walking Dead.

This weeks walking dead has got to be my favourite episode ever simply because it is filled with zombie killing and there are some dramatic deaths which made the episode even better to me even though i liked one that died i knew it was inevitable.

The episode is filled with great parts so i will just mention my favourite part. It begins with a simple supply run going wrong when Aidan shoots a walker that is strapped with explosives (God knows why??) and every one is hurled in different directions in the warehouse. unfortunately for Aidan he has been impaled on the wall and can't be saved and Glen and Nicolas quickly find this out and Aidan just tells them to leave and then he is swiftly eaten by zombies. As Glen, Nicolas and Noah try to escape they get stuck in a rotating glass door because they are zombies on the outside and zombies on the inside so they are then stuck in the middle. (As i forgot to mention this earlier they were also accompanied by  Tara and Eugene, Tara was also knocked out and is bleeding from a head injury)  That is when Eugene drives by in the van playing dubstep and gets the zombies on the outside away, but all is not safe because if the door swings either way Nicolas will get eaten or Glen and Noah will so being the smart guy Glen is he starts to break the glass to get a gun but Nicolas the coward freaks out and squeezes out his side pushing Noah into the zombies and he is ripped apart in front of our and Glens eyes.

This episode is made further interesting because it ends on a cliff hanger. This is caused by Carol's growing suspicison that Jessie's Husband is beating her and her children which causes her to say to rick 'Your going to  have to kill him' and then the episode ends and we are on the edge of our seats till next week.

The Walking Dead S5,E13

On this weeks walking dead not much has happened it has just been about how the group are settling in and a few background stories on some of the characters. In the episode it also showed some of the groups at there jobs and it looked like most of them were enjoying themselves which made me feel happy for them even though i wished there was a bunch of zombie killing going on.

As the episode progresses it starts to center around Sasha as she starts to freak out, in my opinion i think she is finally lashing out for the death of her brother (Tyreese) in the first episode when they aired after the mid season break. Near towards the end of the episode there is a party where Sasha completely loses it at starts yelling at a group of girls because she overheard them saying one of there biggest worries was something to do with cooking but because of everything she has been through it just set her off.



As I have mentioned in every post since they arrived at Alexandria I have finally decided to trust MOST of the people there but not every one because they are making some people seem shady and i don't want the influencing my decision so i will just exclude them.

As always i am ever hopeful that next weeks episode will be better than last and leave me at the edge of my seat until the end.
