Call of Duty: Black Ops has been one of the most popular games of 2010, captivating millions of players worldwide with its intense gameplay and immersive storyline. Now, Activision has announced that a new game add-on will be launching in February of 2011 for Xbox Live, much to the excitement of the gaming community.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops ‘First Strike’ is the first downloadable content (DLC) expansion for Black Ops, and it promises to elevate the gaming experience to new heights. This DLC will feature four new multiplayer maps, including Berlin Wall, Discovery, Stadium, and Kowloon, as well as a new Zombie map called Ascension. Each of these maps offers unique environments and challenges, ensuring that players will have fresh and engaging content to explore.
New Multiplayer Maps
The four new multiplayer maps included in the ‘First Strike’ DLC are designed to provide diverse and dynamic combat scenarios.
– Berlin Wall: This map is set in the iconic Cold War-era Berlin Wall, offering players a historical backdrop for intense firefights. The map features both East and West Berlin, with the wall itself serving as a central obstacle that players must navigate around or through.
– Discovery: Set in an abandoned German outpost in Antarctica, Discovery offers a stark and icy environment. The map’s layout encourages both long-range engagements and close-quarters combat, making it a versatile battleground.
– Stadium: This map takes place in a sports complex, providing a unique urban setting for multiplayer matches. The tight corridors and open arenas of the stadium create a fast-paced and unpredictable combat environment.
– Kowloon: Inspired by the single-player campaign mission, Kowloon is set on the rooftops of Hong Kong. The verticality of this map adds a new layer of strategy, as players must navigate the multi-level environment while avoiding enemy fire.
New Zombie Map: Ascension
In addition to the new multiplayer maps, the ‘First Strike’ DLC also introduces a new Zombie map called Ascension. This map is set in a Soviet cosmodrome and features a variety of new gameplay elements and challenges. Players will face off against waves of zombies while navigating the complex layout of the cosmodrome, which includes rocket launch sites and other Soviet-era structures. Ascension promises to deliver the same thrilling and cooperative gameplay that fans of the Zombie mode have come to love, with new twists and surprises to keep them on their toes.
“We’re committed to supporting Call of Duty: Black Ops fans with continuous updates to the game and exciting new content that will keep our community engaged,” said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. “We can’t wait to deliver Call of Duty: Black Ops First Strike to our fans, which has four all-new Black Ops multiplayer maps, and an exciting new Zombie map to be declassified later.”
The Call Of Duty: Black Ops ‘First Strike’ DLC will be available on Xbox Live from the 1st of February 2011. This release is highly anticipated by the gaming community, as it promises to add significant value to an already beloved game. Players can look forward to exploring new environments, mastering new strategies, and facing new challenges with this exciting expansion.
