Call of Duty®: Black Ops II players on PlayStation®3 and Windows PC now have access to the game’s first DLC Map Pack – RevolutionRevolution delivers an unparalleled amount of variety and content for all types of Call of Duty: Black Ops II players, featuring four all-new multiplayer maps set around the globe:

–        Hydro: Located in Pakistan, this hydro-electric plant comes complete with a lethal spillway that floods with very little warning.

–        Grind: Set in a skate park in Venice Beach (the birthplace of skateboarding!), quarter-pipes and curved surfaces drive players away from easy cover and into intense firefights.

–        Downhill: A ski resort in the French Alps, this snowy map is complete with a moving gondola system that can both offer cover and crush you to death.

–        Mirage: Located in China’s Gobi Desert, a luxury resort has been ravaged by a sandstorm.

Zombies fans get a terrifying double-dose of undead action in Revolution.  First, the new map, “Die Rise,” drops players inside a maze of crumbling skyscrapers amidst a ravaged Chinese city, where all-new Wonder Weaponry will play a crucial role as they make a valiant stand against the impending zombie hoard.  Additionally, Revolution’s new Zombies mode, “Turned,” flips this new fan-favourite mode around, allowing players to become the undead and play as a zombie, offering an entirely new style of bragging rights.

Fans can either purchase Revolution as a standalone Map Pack for a suggested retail price of $20.95, or they can purchase the Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC Season Pass.  Season Pass holders not only get all four epic DLC Map Packs** for the discounted suggested retail price of $64.95*, but they also get the Nuketown Zombies bonus map, plus an exclusive in-game calling card.

Bitdefender Invites Elite Beta Testers to the New Bitdefender

World’s best antivirus software to get even better in hands of elite beta testers worldwide

SYDNEY, Australia, March 1, 2013 – Bitdefender, the innovative internet security firm, has invited top-notch beta testers around the globe to experience the bold New Bitdefender and help make the world’s best antivirus software even sharper, faster and more lethal to malware.

The New Bitdefender is a daring blend of the tried and proven technologies that have won Bitdefender the top awards, and cutting-edge new concepts such as adaptive scanning, the technology that actually allows the software to mold to each individual computer to enhance speed and performance.

Starting on Feb. 28, techies, bloggers and other elite beta testers can feel the power of the New Bitdefender in action by visiting beta.bitdefender.com and downloading the beta kit.

The molding technology of the New Bitdefender means that the software will quickly become unique to each user, adapting to every system-specific profile and applying recognition patterns so you can move quickly and nimbly even in the full suit of Bitdefender armor.

The New Bitdefender also offers beta testers an enhanced version of Bitdefender Safepay™, the secured browser that activates automatically during online transactions. The New Bitdefender takes this feature, which was first developed last year, to a new level.

Besides creating an unbreachable connection on public wireless connections, and generating a virtual keyboard so no hacker can read your keystrokes, Safepay now includes Bitdefender Wallet, which seals sensitive information away from prying eyes and recalls the data automatically just as you need it in a secure, time-saving autofill format.

“After the absolutely magnificent year of top awards and gushing praise that we’ve just been through, Bitdefender is under pressure to beat its stiffest competition – itself,” said Bitdefender Chief Security Strategist Catalin Cosoi. “This led us to an intense period of creation, experimentation and innovation. Among the final, and most crucial, of phases is beta testing. Each and every piece of feedback will get the undivided attention of some of the top minds in the anti-malware world.”
