Black Ops Map Pack Now Available For PC
PC owners were left out in the cold when the Escalation map pack launched for Xbox 360 a month ago. Today they can start catching up with their console brethren, and Treyarch is helping out with a double XP weekend.
Activision announced today that the map pack is now available for Windows PC via Steam. The pack contains four new multiplayer maps, as well as Call Of The Dead, the new zombie horde mode featuring some surprise Hollywood talent. Treyarch will even be hosting a double XP weekend, starting tomorrow. The only potential downside is that the map pack still costs $15, so don't expect a discount just because you're playing on a PC or getting the content a month later than 360 players.
So, is the pack worth your money? Read our impressions to find out our take on the new content.
