'Black Ops 2' Revolution Map Pack gets new trailer, Double XP event announced (Photos)

In preparation for the release of the first downloadable content for “Black Ops 2,” Treyarch has announced that they will be conducting a double XP event through this weekend. Starting Jan. 25, players will be able to gain double the amount of experience points through Jan. 28. This information was delivered through Treyarch's official Twitter account today.

In addition to this, we have also been granted a new trailer for the upcoming Revolution Map Pack for “Black Ops 2.” As can be seen in the video to the left of this article, this trailer showcases a variety of content that will be included with the purchase of this map pack.

As previously announced, this map pack will include a brand-new weapon for the competitive multiplayer portion of this title. This weapon has been deemed to be a “Assualt Rifle-SMG hybrid” and will be called the “Peacekeeper.” Today, Vonderhaar provided a few details regarding the use of this new weapon. Below, you can view the information that was delivered through as official Twitter account.

Indeed. The Peacekeeper shown in the video is not camouflaged. It has that "UN White" paint job on it. Let's go ahead and get this out of the way once and for all. If you have Diamond SMGs, you have to level up the Peacekeeper to Gold to unlock its Diamond camo. You *do not* need to level up the Peacekeeper, to get Diamond on the rest of the SMGs. All will go Diamond when you get them Gold. And you'll be able to pick up the Peacekeeper off the ground, see it Sharpshooter, or Customs, etc., all even if you don't own Revolution. But I need you to buy Revolution. Because my new car needs tires already. Goodbye now.
