Yet another free add-on from the guys at Pop Cap! :D
The new Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare add-on is interesting. the free peashooter variant is a little inaccurate, but it's charged shot is good for hitting a corridor or small room, a few players firing its charged timed shot could clear a room from extreme range.
Personally i still prefer the Toxic Peashooter for its splash damage and poison effect by just walking near a zombie!
The new map is golf course themed and a very good one to use for Garden Ops mode.
The new game mode, Suburbination, is like Conquest modes from Battlefield.
It also has a "bling" items sticker pack, which is basically all the original vanity items but metallic silver, gold or diamond encrusted versions.
All in all, it's another nice add-on, but there was no mandatory patch or any new achievements added.
Seems silly to put in 2 new game modes and not add achievements, they did it for Gnome Bomb...!
Oh yeh, beware the Vampire Lord boss in Garden Ops, it's eeeeviiilllll.........

Black Ops 2 - S&D - When did you slump so low...?
Having decided that I had had my fill of Modern Warfare 3 and being fed up of the hackers, I've moved up to Black Ops 2.
Some who know me will know I love to play Search & Destroy, its more tactical and challenging than just you simple Team Death Match, Domination etc, but it seems to have slipped into some sort of slump over the last few years some how.
Connectivity is shaky at the best of times in Multiplayer and Zombies, you tend to be put into your own lobby or get put with one person.
Also, the "trick shot" seems to have gone uber-mainstream now, mainly with all the underaged players who think they have something to prove.
Almost every game will have at least 2 people trying to do some form of jumping shot, frantically switching weapons and equipment. Most of the time it looks like their controller is having some sort of epileptic seizure with how sporadic the switching is @_@
I suppose I was exaggerating a little, 2 people doing it isn't that bad, it's more when an entire team does it and all you want is to have a challenging game, but instead end up being the last man against a full team of 6, then end up jumping off a cliff or building to their deaths anyway. Why bother? If i wanted to prat around and do something like that I'd do it in private matches, and if I wanted to spend an entire round watching people I'd go play Zombies and die deliberately :/
I do get some laughs out of it though, since they're too busy messing around so much it's easy to kill them, mostly because they can't aim or even quick-scope straight XD
One guy accused me of "camping till last" (some weird ass term that applies to people deliberately sitting back until everyone is just about dead, then doing trick shots), which i wasn't, I was walking around the edge of the map to attack them from behind, it wasn't my fault that everyone decided to go and commit suicide in the central part of Studio...
It may make me sound picky, or even anal when it comes to stuff like this, but the number of people I've reported recently is ridiculous. Though I do question the point in doing it using the games report feature. I only say that because now that Call of Duty Elite is dead, Treyarch seem to have moved onto other things, presumably their next title, let's hope that that game has a more balanced damage system and walls that aren't made of paper, cardboard and MDF (cough-hijacked-cough)!
