With the new Call Of Duty: Black Ops First Strike DLC arriving today, in celebration of the new content Treyarch has also announced that a double XP weekend for Xbox 360 players will start on Friday. The exact time the Xbox 360 double XP run will start is still unknown, but the event is set to start Friday 4th February ending on Sunday 6th February.
Unfortunately, PS3 players have not been notified of any such weekend as yet, but it’s thought it will arrive when released in March.
New Multiplayer Maps
Call Of Duty: Black Ops ‘First Strike’ is the first downloadable content expansion for the popular Black Ops FPS game and will feature four new multiplayer maps, including Berlin Wall, Discovery, Stadium, and Kowloon. Each of these maps brings a unique setting and strategic elements to the game. For instance, the Berlin Wall map allows players to engage in combat in the iconic Cold War setting, complete with the infamous wall dividing East and West Berlin. Discovery takes players to an abandoned German outpost in Antarctica, offering a stark and icy battlefield. Stadium is set in a sports complex, providing a more close-quarters combat experience, while Kowloon is based on the rooftops of Hong Kong, adding verticality and complex navigation to the gameplay.
New Zombie Map: Ascension
In addition to the multiplayer maps, the First Strike DLC also introduces a new Zombie map called Ascension. This map is set in a Soviet Cosmodrome and features new weapons, perks, and enemies. Ascension is known for its intricate layout and the introduction of new gameplay mechanics, such as the Lunar Lander, which allows players to traverse the map quickly. The map also includes new zombie types, such as the Space Monkeys, which add an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the game.
When the new Xbox 360 First Strike DLC is released, you will be able to buy it for either $15 or in exchange for 1200 Microsoft points. This pricing is consistent with previous Call of Duty DLC packs and offers a substantial amount of content for the price. The addition of new maps and a zombie experience ensures that players will have plenty of new material to explore and master.
The double XP weekend is a great opportunity for players to level up their characters and unlock new weapons and perks more quickly. Double XP events are highly anticipated by the Call of Duty community, as they provide a significant boost to progression and allow players to make the most of their gaming time. Xbox 360 players should prepare for an intense weekend of gaming, as the double XP event will likely draw a large number of participants eager to take advantage of the bonus experience points.
While PS3 players may feel left out for now, it’s important to note that similar events and DLC releases typically follow for other platforms. The March release for PS3 players will likely include its own set of promotions and events to ensure that all Call of Duty fans get to enjoy the new content and opportunities for progression.
Overall, the First Strike DLC and the accompanying double XP weekend represent an exciting time for Call of Duty: Black Ops players. The new maps and zombie content promise to refresh the gameplay experience and provide new challenges and strategies for players to explore. Whether you’re an Xbox 360 player gearing up for the double XP weekend or a PS3 player looking forward to the March release, there’s plenty to be excited about with the First Strike DLC.
