It's October, so you know what that means: zombie DLC announcements.

There is not a game in the massive index of things I'm currently looking forward to that I hope fulfills on its promise more than this one.

Taking time off to put out fires leaves you missing out on so many strange and surreal events in this fast paced industry, like Cliff Bleszinski leaving Epic, Bad Company getting a TV series adaptation, and now this.

A popular video game franchise being adopted into a Hollywood Blockbuster is nothing new. A fifth Resident Evil movie was just released last month, and a new Silent Hill film is set to release later this month.

The next game in the massive Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 2, developed by Treyarch, will unleash a huge change to the way that traditional Call of Duty games have worked. Treyarch has unveiled the new Pick 10 system which is nothing like anything we've seen before.

The new Pick 10 system gives the player 10 points to distribute to your class's weapons such as the tactical, lethal, and primary weapons. In a quick explanation, basically, you distribute points to each weapon, the primary weapon takes a point, an attatchment takes a point, the secondary weapon takes a point, and so on. When people got this far into the explanation, they were a little skeptical over whether it was going to work out well, because someone could just load up on perks and have a nice primary weapon and cause horror in the battlefield.

This is why Treyarch introduced Wild Cards. What a Wild Card is, is basically a pass to break the rules. If you wanted to have two attachments for example, you would have to use 3 points on your primary weapon and two attatchments, then use 1 point on a Wildcard, and use another point to get the other attatchment. Treyarch mixes things up once again, by making some perks such, such as Quickdraw, as weapon attatchments now. In Black Ops 2's Multiplayer trailer showed us an extreme class, a revolver armed with a combat knife, and six perks. Black Ops 2's Pick 10 system seems foreign to us right now, but I am sure that once it releases in November, we will all know how to use it.

Today we are saying farewell with warm regards to Cliff Bleszinski, who is departing as Epic’s design director to chart the next stage of his career. During the past two decades, Cliff has helped shape many successful games that have captured the imaginations of millions of players around the world. We are grateful for his influence on Epic’s legacy, from the wild adventures “Jazz Jackrabbit” to the visceral combat of “Gears of War.”
