Call of Duty: Black Ops II Aussie midnight launch details announced

Fans eager for the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be able to pick up their copies of the game as soon as it goes on sale. Australian retailers EB Games and JB Hi-Fi will be hosting midnight launches for the popular first-person shooter, with some stores offering assortments of activities to keep customers entertained while they wait.

EB Games will be opening more than 200 stores from 10pm onward on Monday November 12, the night of the game’s official midnight release on November 13. The retailer will be hosting its official EB Games Call of Duty: Black Ops II launch events at the following locations:

EB Games Ipswich, QLD (from 9pm)
EB Games Wetherill Park, NSW (from 7:30pm)
EB Games Werribee Plaza, VIC (from 9pm)
EB Games Tea Tree Plaza, SA (from 10pm)

Attendees can expect the following forms of entertainment:

• Eight player LAN setup
• Laser Tag in the food court/laser target practice (Ipswich and Wetherill Park Only)
• Lucky Door Prize (Turtle Beach COD BO2 X-Ray Edition headset, RRP $149.95)
• Photo opportunity whereby customers will be superimposed into Call of Duty images (excludes Tea Tree Plaza and Wetherill Park)
• Live DJ
• Prizes and competitions
• Black Ops II Cosplay

Additional EB stores will also be open for those who wish to pick up their preorder of the game (see below for the full list).

EB Games today also announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops II has officially broken records to become the most pre-ordered title for the company locally. The position was previously held by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which is also published by Activision.

Additionally, JB Hi-fi will be hosting midnight launches at various stores and conducting giveaways. For the full list of participating stores, see below.

Set in the near future, Call of Duty: Black Ops II has been developed by Treyarch, who also worked on the game’s predecessor, Call of Duty: Black Ops. The game is the first of the series to present branching storylines driven by player choice. Prestige mode also makes a return in the game’s new multiplayer mode, and players will once again be able to level up their weapons.
