Last week we covered the Black Ops "Escalation" DLC leak. This week Activision released details on the upcoming map pack, including when to expect it.
The second map pack is set to be released on May 3rd for the Xbox 360 and features four all-new multiplayer maps, and a Zombies experience "like none before it."
"In crafting the Escalation multiplayer maps — Zoo, Convoy, Hotel and Stockpile — the team developed them to be distinct experiences in their own right, giving players the variety they crave in both setting and gameplay," said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. "And I don't want to spoil any surprises for Zombies fans, but Call of the Dead takes it to a whole new level."
In Multiplayer, battle it out in "Hotel", on the roof of a Cuban luxury hotel and casino against the vivid backdrop of old Havana; "Convoy" delivers intense, close-quarters combat at the scene of an ambushed US military convoy; "Zoo" takes you on a wild ride in an abandoned Soviet Russian Zoo, with danger at every turn; "Stockpile" pits players in a remote Russian farm town housing secret WMD facilities.
To celebrate the upcoming release of the Escalation map pack, Treyarch will host a Double XP weekend beginning Friday, May 6th.
