Activision is planning to release five new downloadable maps for Call of Duty: Black Ops on May 3rd. That’s according to the above flyer, which appeared on the site of Aussie retailer GAME. Said flyer has now mysteriously vanished , but nothing escapes the snooping lenses of the Internet and its screencap button!
Known as the Escalation Pack, this next bundle of maps will include four standard arenas and a zombie map. I think we can reasonably say the four standard maps will be called Zoo, Hotel, Convoy, and Stockpile. Dunno. Call it a hunch.
Microsoft has a pricey exclusivity agreement in place with Activision, so I expect that May 3rd date is for Xbox 360 only and the maps will arrive 30 days later on PlayStation 3 and PC.
The last pack of Call of Duty: Black Ops maps debuted on Xbox Live in February, and was downloaded 1.4 million times within 24 hours of being on sale. Expect a similarly rabid response to this.
