Official Call of Duty®: Black Ops III – Eclipse Multiplayer Trailer

DLC 2 Eclipse for Black Ops 3 is available now featuring all new MP environments and Zombies content. In the latest episode of the Zombies experience, the Origins characters head to 'Zetsubou No Shima', a tropical island where experiments with Element 115 have created horrors beyond belief. Battle your way through four stunning Black Ops III Multiplayer environments: Spire, Knockout, Verge and Rift. Spire: Take MP combat to a futuristic sub-orbital airport terminal set high in the clouds. Knockout: The Shaolin Temple with a retro twist contrasts exterior mid-range engagements and interior close quarters. Verge: This reimagined classic Call of Duty: World at War map, Banzai, drops MP combat into the center of a distant post-apocalyptic future. Rift: Head to the core of a harsh futuristic military complex, set above an active volcano.

Reception

Any Call of Duty: Black Ops III fans looking for a fresh excuse to swear loudly and frequently at their television set should definitely consider picking up a copy of the Eclipse DLC. Four great new maps to feel like an inferior gamer on, while repeatedly getting mown down at the hands of hyperactive kids with cat-like reflexes, not to mention the option...

All together, they make for a map pack that’s really quite strong and distinctive visually, but also has some good variety in what they offer. Certainly, it feels more interesting and varied than Awakening did a few months ago.

Eclipse is a good map DLC pack, it features 4 PvP well designed maps and a new zombi map. The price is pretty high though, so this expansion may not interest every fan of the game.

As a zombie map it works, but like I suggested it never really resonated with me. Maybe it will for you.

Unlike its real-life counterpart, Eclipse isn't anything to get excited about. While the Verge and Knockout multiplayer maps have a lot of personality and are excellent fun, Rift and Spire are pretty dull. As for the zombie map, Zetsubou no Shima will prove rewarding for any dedicated Easter egg hunters and secret scavengers, but it's lost the heart...
