[COD Black Ops] - * First Strike map pack *

NeVeR

i bought the second map pack on MW2.. after the 1st month I never got to play them as they never came up,, Once the dedicated rooms went I maybe played one of the maps 10 times... waist of money

Well if the map packs are anything like MW1 or MW2 then I wont be touching them with a barge pole. Total rip off.

I'll wait for the reliable boards reviews first

Are they really charging 1200 points again!? After felling pretty ripped off when I bought the first map pack for MW2, I don't think I'll get this one unless it gets amazing reviews. They really need to bring new guns and perks to these add-ons to prolong the game and make it a bit more worth while. Most people that work in Treyarch building levels could make a new map in a day or two, they already have all the resources to make 100's of maps easily, any modder could.

Its actually fcuk Activision they are the ones who did the deal with M$, maybe Treyarch will stick in a surprise WAW map. Also I can see a Hanoi day map turning up at some stage, they did that with Makin on WAW

I'd pay €15 for ground war on rust, black ops style!!!

Please no.. if I want to play WAW maps I'll stick in the disc. I really don't want to pay again for content I already own. I didn't think the old MW maps worked too well with the new perks etc. on MW2.

"it'll provide an adrenaline filled, action packed experience"

Are they still talking about Black Ops? :pac:

"frantic fast paced gameplay", I do hope so cos I'm starting to get a little tired of CoD.

Ya I would love better snipping maps but now this is a crazy idea, what if the snipping was actually improved/fixed

That idea just blew my mind

Yeah its all well and good making a map with great sniping spots, its all for nothing if the sniping still sucks in Blops

YouSavedMyLife

Maps look great. Looking forward to Berlin, hoping there is nice long lines of sight on that one. Happy to see its not 3 MP maps and one zombie map, but all 4 MP maps!

As for those talking about Sniping. Its fine. Well maybe alittle underpowered, but you need to play more defensively in Bops compared to MW2 where you could run around the map.

Kowloon - camping by the zip line
Discovery - camping by the snow bridge
Berlin Wall - high camping
Stadium - god only knows


truthfully although they sound fantastic I can see these turning into crap maps pretty quick given how some players play the game

God, we're different beasts. I see them and assume an automatic positive position. You see them and assume the automatic negative position.

To me, they look to have a nice mix of long and short lines of sight. Plus I like the sound of the interactive elements.

PS. Ade, thanks for merging my post into this thread. I hadn't seen Shammy's thread previously.

Hate the idea of those auto-turrets on Berlin wall tbh...

it's not the maps I take a positive or negative view over, it's the idiots that play it that I don't have any faith in

But sure they are a constant in COD games.

What you really want to do is hack them. So after the enemy get mown down 15 times to get to it, they then get blown up by it as well!! :D

Said it the first time a pic was first revealed but Stadium looks awesome.

Combat erupts outside a vacant hockey stadium on the outskirts of the city. Tensions between the Cold War powers remain high, and the victor will revel in their enemy's demoralization. A mid-sized map designed for close-quarters mayhem, teams must fight tooth and nail in a maze of tight corners and deadly vantage points.



Entrance from the western turnstiles allows the most breathing room, with a nearby souvenir shop providing cover overlooking the entryway. Planters adorning the walkway give cover to enemies, while entry to the rink encourages heavy through movement from soldiers rushing in and out of the stadium's entrance.

Offices in the north test your level of alertness on the bottom floor and reward those who make it to the second with a view of the courtyard and beyond. In addition to the stadium's second story windows, it's in everyone's best interest down below to keep these vantage points clear - especially when battling in the central courtyard.



Don't let the beautiful eastern lakeside view distract you. This side of the map forces cramped movement and a three-entry weight room. Cover the doorways and attack soldiers weaving in and out of the maze. Expect SMG and Shotgun loadouts, and consider Flak Jacket to stand up against flying grenades and Claymores. Success lies in controlling the battlefield and keeping a level head. Stay cool and let your reflexes kick in. If you come out last, take some time to study the latest edition of Popular Weapons '73 - you can find copies all around the map. Just look for the Sentry Gun on the cover.

The battle for control of Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall rages on in this mid-sized map set in the cold of German winter. Twisting streets and prosperous businesses line the West. Watch for snipers perched on balconies and behind the second story windows of Blume Bücher & Musik and Schulz Apotheke. Equip the Flak Jacket to survive the bombardment of grenades bursting in the small buildings. Expect blasts to be followed up with frenetic, close-quarters combat - shotgun and SMG loadouts will be particularly abundant on this side of the Wall.



Towering buildings in the East lend shooters a commanding view over the terrain, and their open layout encourages frequent group skirmishes. Cover each other's backs when moving through the distillery and count on heavy resistance and Claymore placement through Täglich Zeitung. Assault Rifles provide a great balance between the open road and overlooking buildings.

Run as fast as you can when crossing between the two sides. Automated gun towers shoot everything in sight. If they don't get you, you can bet an enemy soldier peaking over the border from a nearby building will. Danger lurks around every corner, inside every building, and on both sides of the Wall. The fate of democracy and the German people rests in your hands - defend it well or crush it under an iron fist.
