Die Rise

Die Rise, also known as Great Leap Forward, is the fourteenth Zombie map included in the Call of Duty: Black Ops II downloadable content pack Revolution. It was released on January 29th, 2012 for Xbox 360 for 1200 Microsoft Points. The release date for PS3 and PC players is February 28th. Prior map packs have suggested that the price will cost $14.99.

Die Rise occurs post-apocalyptic Shanghai, China, where the fight against the zombies takes place on multiple skyscrapers. It is also the first map in Zombies to introduce a true element of verticality including broken elevator shafts, upside down skyscrapers and elevators which can transport perks up and down the floors. When jumping from building to building, mattresses are scattered throughout to prevent injury from the jump.

The map contains tighter corridors and long vertical drops, unlike any other Zombies map. It is also noted that there is a meteor shower as seen in the trailer, which is a hint to the easter egg or this occurs randomly throughout the game. The map has also been confirmed to feature new upgradable Wonder Weapons and buildables, similar to TranZit. The major easter egg is High Maintenance. There are two dragons by the spire that progressively light up for how far you have completed each side of the easter egg. One dragons' sparkles blue/purple when you've completed a part of Richtofen's, the other sparkles orange for Maxis's side of the easter egg.

Die Rise also features a new enemy, the Minion who look and act similiar to Phasing Zombies. They come during specific waves, and can do short teleports around the environment. They are said to go down easy, but can pick off uncareful stray survivors.

There are also zombies which can withstand more damage compared to others, they are usually wearing visible armor.
