the only thing worth waiting for is nuketown 24x7 with double xp I take the map pack is released on the 3rd and the xp won't kick in until the following weekend, anyone remember how it worked out when First Strike came out on the Xbox?

Xbox first, PS3 a month later, that's how it is with all CODs 'til at least next year

Video just uploaded, here's hoping that Convoy is small like nuketown/firing range.

True that. Interestin how it sayes "new" though.

"new" could be describing them when they first came out for example RCXD was never seen before. but then again i could be wrong :rolleyes:

Was wondering do anyone have the map packs for MW2? Never seem to see anyone on my friends list playing DLC maps. Just the usual.

And which map pack would be best to get for MW2?

It's a bit OT, but I have both. I think most people like DLC#2 over #1 as they dislike more maps in #1.

Don't think I am going to like Stockpile.

About the zombie part of the Escalation dlc.
Spoilered in case you want to be surprised on day of release.

Also, by rolling mouse over or clicking link surprise will be revealed.
You were warned.

Romero will lend his likeness to the Escalation DLC along with Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Danny Trejo (Machete), and Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead). Yes, Machete and Freddy Krueger are in the same map pack together.

Call of the Dead

on zombies dont shoot george zombie.. he gets mad

claiva · 03-05-2011 12:10PM

I've seen Hotel gameplay just now and it reminds me of Broadcast from Cod4. Looks good. Lots of medium+short combat.

Stockpile looks massive so far..........its nice and bright though.

Zoo is very like Carnival, but at Night.

Convoy looks good, a bit Homefrontish .....nice and bright aswell, a bit like Trailer Park in its colour pallette.

Shammy · 03-05-2011 12:44PM

Only played convoy , first impressions is that its a good map .

Good to hear, Broadcast is a COD4 classic.

Zoo = lots of tight corners, bit of a maze, spy planes really help, people can come at you from anywhere, lots of CQB but a few sniper spots too. Could get quite campy but the two games of it I played weren't, and it seemed like the best map.
Convoy = more open, few sniper spots but also a few buildings around them that become hot points.
Hotel = Hotel either side, courtyard in middle, lots of paths to the hotels, and hotels themselves have lots of rooms and 1 window each overlooking middle of map. Lifts seem useless and didn't seem to play like Broadcast at all. I was trying to flank the other team and get behind them, but often by the time I'd gotten across the map, the spawns had switched and you could rebound back and forth like this a lot looking for a kill.
Stockpile = one big room with a fair few entrances that people camp, a few buildings outside too but control middle and you'll win. This was the only map that was full of campers (most of the entrances to the main building had people locked on ADS from quite far back too, impossible to flash them, only hope is to find the entrances they aren't covering and get up behind them.

Games were all TDM, and only played 1 of each apart from Zoo so not got a proper feel for them yet.

Is there a dedicated playlist for the new maps?

swampyk08 · 03-05-2011 02:23PM

Played them all now. Some remind me of the spec ops from MW2. Anyways, they are all fairly big with lots going on in them.

Zoo: Carnival with lots of dark corners, even has the rollercoaster.
Stockpile: Similar to WMD only bigger, played Domination and all the enemy team had Ghost on.
Hotel: Wetwork layout on a rooftop.
Convoy: Favourite so far, big and lots of routes for flanking plus plenty of rooms to clean out.

Call of Dead: How do you kill George?
