New Black Ops Map Pack Coming Next Month...

Ready for some more Black Ops?!

The new map pack is finally on the way.  It is entitled Escalation, and as before, there will be four multiplayer maps and one zombie map for a total of five new maps. The maps are entitled: Zoo, Stockpile, Convoy, Hotel, Survive (Zombies). They're pretty self-explanatory, but we'll offer a little info.

Zoo will take place in a, you guessed it, zoo. Stockpile will be another snowbound map in a weapons depot in the mountains; our guess is that it will probably be similar to Discovery from the previous map pack. Convoy will take place on a war torn interstate highway; expect a long, narrow map littered with busted concrete, downed signs and burned out vehicles littering the way. Hotel will take place in a, you guessed it, hotel; expect both interior and exterior fighting in and around the main building, perhaps similar to Modern Warfare 2's Skidrow or maybe CoD4's Bloc. Survive will be another zombie map, but we have no details about its specifics or even an educated guess like we did with the others. However, we have no doubt it will be awesome.

Also as before with the First Strike Map Pack, it will be available exclusively on XBOX Live's Marketplace on Tuesday, May 3 for 1200 points and will be released for the PS3 and Wii owners at a later date.
