[COD Black Ops] - Annihilation map pack

They could potentially do two more map packs as they have 300GS of space left on the xbox. I hope they continue the map packs, for those who do not like the next game.

This will be out at 2pm GMT later today/tomorrow.

It's a bit stingey milking us for all we're worth but as I see it I've paid 50 quid for games that I've not spent more than 15 hours on, so meh.

redman85 · 28-06-2011 12:28PM

Had a quick game there on the golf course or whatever....its built for snipers. looks the biz

now for zombies...

swampyk08 · 28-06-2011 12:50PM

Initial impressions

They used a brighter colour scheme on all maps and there are no snow/white maps.

Silo = Quarry
Drive In = Trailer Park/Salvage (feels bigger than Firing Range so I dont think its NukeTown 2)
Hangar 18 - similar to WAW map (plane hangar)
Hazard - Large sniper map with a few areas to hold down.

Overall so good so far.

redman85 · 28-06-2011 01:24PM

first game of zombies....no idea where anything is. still managed to get to level 15.

looks pretty decent tho

Nantastic · 28-06-2011 01:27PM

Just downloaded it an hour ago so I'll need some time to let it all sink in. However, my first impressions is negative. It's quite a welcoming change to have brighter maps but having said that, colours are nothing without substance and the contents of the four maps leave a lot to be desired. Hazard is nice and quite different but almost all of the others are particularly rehashed and have repackaged oldie similarities. For example, the distinct dreariness of Silo represents Treyarchs Quarry from Modern Warfare 2 - except this time, it's complete with a certain darkness and blandness.

Hanger 18 and Drive-In can't help but feel like "We've all been here before" - there are a couple of buildings to explore and...well, that's pretty much it. In fact, the sole reason I bought this was for Shangri-La. I've managed to play through it once and my initial impression is uncertainty. Yes, it is quite close combat corridor run-and-gun type of gameplay but I think in the long run, Call of the Dead will push through as my favourite Zombie experience.

In ending, I feel like the majority in that Treyarch is not giving the fans what they want. They know what works and what doesn't. It's a case of balancing the harms - on one side, deviating too far from the successful model is a taboo for the Call of Duty franchise and yet, continuing down this avenue will only bring more discontent and confusion among the people paying their wages. Ultimately, the survival of this brand will rest with MW3. It is the first day of July and already, even after purchasing this new addition, find myself convinced that I have drained every last drop of entertainment from this product. I have never even played so much as a second of any Battlefield game and yet, I think it will be first on my Winter list of games to pick-up. This is soley my opinion on Annihilation but given the resources these developers have in being the biggest selling game of all time, surely they have the clout to produce a worthwhile DLC that will please those that have been loyal to the series all these years.

I dunno why but I'm doing some serious killing on Silo. The kind of map that's open, long distance kills. Can catch people of all rank off guard. Big map but feels good.
Hazard is fun. Need to watch your back all the time, though. Couple of camp spots. And the fact it's around a golf course is cool.
Drive-in is ok, reminds me of Village in MW2. Haven't played it much yet but like the lay-out.
Never got a chance to play Hanger-18, yet, nor the zombie one.

mcgovern · 28-06-2011 06:47PM

All maps are full of camping ghosts.
Can be good though if you can get behind them

Drive Through is very much not a new Nuketown though.

Nantastic · 28-06-2011 08:48PM

Give it a week or so before I judge it, lot of corner campers afraid to explore the maps. Initial reaction is - meh.

Echo what everyone is saying though, Drive Through no Nuketown.

Golf course feels frighteningly familiar. Think we might have had something like it in call of duty 4.

Nantastic · 29-06-2011 07:04AM

Did they not say it was a reimagining of a WaW map?

Yes, it's a remaking of Cliffside from WAW. Snipers galore, really enjoyed it in WAW and the remake. B DOM is hard to recapture.

klose · 29-06-2011 12:47PM

Best map pack of the 3 for me anyways, love the sniping in hazard. good to see there bright for the most part, the small map is another nuketown which the community have been crying for so they are listening which is good to see. silo reminds me of quarry from mw2 so much.

Zombies map is good, off today so gonna give that a bash, cant find many places to run a good circle strategy tho should be fun.

Here ya go

Activision’s mega hit title has received quite a few map-packs till now and the latest one for Call of Duty Black Ops — Retaliation, is due in September. Apparently a website keeps leaking information about the map-packs and Activision keeps taking them down silently.
The new map-pack will contain a total of 5 maps where four are multiplayer maps and one is a zombie map. Check out the list of maps and details after the break!

The list of maps is as follows:
Mansion: set in Castro’s secret compound in Cuba.
Cargo: set in an frozen shipping center in Greenland.
Metro: set in an urban city in Vietnam.
Harbor: set in an abandoned shipyard in America.
The map pack will also include a new Zombies map titled Quarantine, set in Area 51, the highly controversial military base in Nevada. This is thought to be the final map-pack for COD:Black Ops.

sure a september release would mean an october release for PS3 and PC, given that MW3 will only be a month later I can't see a high take up for the next one
