    Hey everyone!


    As some of you are well aware, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be hitting Aussie shores next Tuesday, November 13. To celebrate the release of the game, the GameSpot AU team will be live-streaming the game shortly after it's midnight launch (so 12AM Monday night/Tuesday morning) - and we are inviting community members to join us!


    Will anyone else be picking up a copy come midnight? And would you like to join us for some multiplayer action LIVE on stream? Let us know!


    At this stage it looks like we'll be playing on console, and we'll let you know which platform we'll be playing on closer to date. Be sure to subscribe to us on Twitch.tv if you would like updates on when we're going live on stream!

    I'll be interested for sure! Sounds like a lot of fun, though it'll most likely be on the 360 and I'm picking up the PS3 version at midnight and not getting the 360 version for a couple weeks after I reckon D:

    We don't have midnight releases here in WA because we don't celebrate the advent of a new day unfortunately. But given that it's over east the stream will be on at 9 so I'll have a watch.

    If my eyes are open, and my Wi-Fi abiding, I shall watch.

    Unfortunately, I can guarantee fullfillment of neither prerequisite.

    Just a reminder that we're still going ahead for this tonight! Should I be stocking up on chips and energy drinks?!

    We'll be playing on PS3 and looking for more Aussies to join us, so let us know if you want in!

    While I'll be picking mine up on PS3, I am in no rush to have it at 12:01AM tonight.
    If I'm up, I'll be there, but still have to work tomorrow.

    Yet to be decided - it'll depend on what everyone wants to play! To join in the fray, be sure to add the following accounts on PSN:

    Chippa_au

    Doorselfin

    Or you can catch the livestream at 12am AEST tonight!

    ...and since my internet connection has been reduced to dial-up speed until the 15th, I won't be in the stream for this one. Don't worry, though. I have a subtle feeling this one might be the most watched stream in GSAU history, even without me.

    There were over 240 people at the penrith launch in level 2, not to mention there was more at level one but i was unable to see the amount of people there.
    It was a stupidly long wait... i think next time a 9am session will be more my thing.
    Anyhow its up and running on my tv.

    Hey guys,

    A huge thanks to everybody who tuned in during the stream last night. As you probably saw, we were getting hit from all directions by comments, questions, friend requests, and a healthy dose of trolling, so it made it pretty tough to pick and choose who we'd party up with for matches.

    We ended up running a little shy of five hours, showing off a mix of single and multiplayer. You can catch the full replay on our Twitch channel here.

    We'll definitely need to organise a separate Community Games Night event in the coming weeks. Anybody want to suggest a date or a platform?
