Description

The emblem editor in Black Ops 2 is a feature that allows users to customize the image that represents them in the game and in the multiplayer game lobby.

The editor overview screen (in-game)

There are a few rules that are used when creating emblems in Black Ops 2:

  1. Each emblem has 32 layers
  2. Each layer can be either empty or contain an image
  3. The following actions can be performed on an image:
    1. Translate
    2. Scale (uniformally)
    3. Horizontal or vertical stretch
    4. Flip over it’s y-axis (i.e. rotate by 180 degrees over the y-axis)
    5. Set color to an RGBA value
    6. Copy to another layer (and possibly overwrite it’s layer’s image)
    7. Rearrange (e.g. the image in the first layer can be moved to be in the second layer)

Selecting an image for a layer of the emblem (in-game)

The app includes all of the functionality present in the Black Ops 2 editor, plus the following:

  1. The ability to undo and redo changes in the editor
  2. An online storefront where users can upload and purchase emblems
  3. The ability to view animated step-by-step instructions of how to recreate the emblem in the game
