Treyarch and Activision announced details of the first pack of downloadable content for Call of Duty: Black Ops, called First Strike. Before This pack was planned to be released in December,but now it will be available today.Today its 5 new maps – 4 for multiplayer and one for the zombie game mode.Call of Duty Black Ops map pack have been detailed in YouTube video form. The pack will hit Xbox Live on February 1st for 1200 Microsoft Points. No word on a release date for PC and PS3.
First Strike’s maps bring some new features to getting owned by pre-pubescant FPS prodigies. Kowloon brings the rooftop battle of the single player campaign to multiplayer, with the addition of ziplines to your battles. Discovery is a craggy arctic research facility split in half by a chasm that looks to create some cool pinch points and bottlenecks. Berlin Wall is pretty self explanatory, and apparently a haven for snipers. Stadium will see a lot of close quarter combat in the mezzanines around a hockey rink. Finally, the zombie map Ascension is, well it’s the one map not shown in this clip.
I’m somewhat saddened to see these trends of high-priced maps and console exclusivity continue. But Xbox 360 are surely glad to be getting their thumbs on these maps first, and I know there are plenty of gamers out there who’d pay pretty much whatever Activision wants to charge.
