Thanks to its engaging multiplayer and mind-bending campaign set in the near future, Treyarchs second Black Ops title holds a special place in the hearts of fans who prefer simplistic gameplay mechanics and excellent weapon balance. 12 years after the game was released, a fan has uncovered a Black Ops 2 alpha build containing an unreleased Zombies DLC and a fully-functioning Origins experience. The mode contains every single map from the first and second Black Ops games.Black Ops 2 alpha features incredible Zombies DLCUncovered by X user JuggerV2, the alpha contains all four maps from Call of Dutys original Zombies mode along with Kino der Toten, Ascension, Five, Moon, and Origins maps which released throughout the Black Ops 2 cycle. To highlight the vast scale of the unreleased mode, the user uploaded an hour-long video complete with gameplay.As expected, the discovery of a Black Ops 2 alpha complete with the most popular maps has led to some fans wondering why the DLC never made it to a public release. We couldve had remakes on the most peak engine, says one Zombies fan. Others say they always had a feeling the globe was meant to feature even more content than the four DLCs that launched throughout 2013.Its unclear as to why Treyarch decided to withhold the fifth Zombies DLC and why its taken over a decade for a Black Ops 2 alpha to uncover it. Either way, its a shame that the best Call of Duty game never received even more content to extend its lifespan further. The demand for nostalgiaCall of Duty has often relied on developers taking players on a trip down memory lane. Whether its remastering old games or adding fan-favourite maps from previous releases, nostalgia always attracts players back onto the battlefield. In 2025, Activision plans on capitalising on nostalgia once more with the Verdansk map returning in the first few months of the year. Black Ops 6 Zombies is the best mode of Treyarchs 2024 release with an engaging storyline and a round-based formula that keeps players coming back for more. The latest rumours suggest the next Zombies map is set in the same dig site as the Origins map from Black Ops 2. Theres every chance theres some kind of connection between the original story and the latest chapter of the Dark Aether.For the time being, the next Black Ops 6 map might be the closest players get to anything from the Black Ops 2 alpha releasing anytime soon.For more CoD intel, check out the best Saug loadout along with the best controller settings to keep you shooting straight.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
