If you’re a dedicated Black Ops player that’s beginning to tire of the game’s selection of multiplayer maps, you’ve got about two months to wait before that problem is resolved. Treyarch has announced that it’s planning to release the first downloadable map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops sometime in February for Xbox 360.
Treyarch’s Dan Bunting appeared on Major Nelson’s podcast yesterday to discuss the upcoming DLC, entitled “First Strike.” It will be comprised of four competitive maps: “Discovery,” set in the single-player’s abandoned Antarctic research facility; “Stadium,” a hockey rink; “Kowloon,” which takes place on the rooftops of Hong Kong; and “Berlin Wall,” set at Checkpoint Charlie. In addition, a new map named “Ascension” for the game’s Zombies mode will also be included.
“On this map pack, we focused a lot more on providing variety of weaponry, variety of engagement, … [and] a lot more verticality, bringing some sniper opportunities to it,” Bunting said on the podcast (via Gamasutra).
