It's Official: Black Ops Map Pack Out May 3
Activision has given the stamp of legitimacy to the rumored Escalation map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops. The DLC will be available to Xbox players May 3, with other platforms to follow.
Escalation contains five maps, one of which is a new Zombies level:
- Hotel puts players in a Cuban luxury resort so they can shoot each other in style
- Convoy is a tight map centered on an ambushed U.S. military convoy
- Zoo takes place in an abandoned Soviet zoo
- Stockpile is a sleepy Russian village that holds secret WMDs
- Zombies players will get "a unique Zombies experience"
No pricing information or PS3/PC release dates were announced.
