The first release of downloadable content for Treyarch’s mega-blockbuster ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ is scheduled to arrive on Xbox360 this Tuesday, and gamers’ mouths are watering.
This release will include four new multi-player maps usable in both online and local play, and one new level for the ‘zombies’ game mode.
The downloadable content release will not only provide players with more virtual square footage to play through, but will also introduce new game play dynamics such as a functioning zipline and a collapsible bridge. These features are unique to the new multi-player maps and have never been seen in any of the previous ‘Call of Duty’ installments.
Some of the maps were inspired by sections of the single player campaign mode while others are completely new and built exclusively for multi-player.
The developers at Treyarch listened to gamers’ feedback on the existing multi-player maps and tried to create levels that addressed players’ concerns. The result, according to Treyarch are maps with more sniping opportunities and more “verticality.”
‘Black Ops’ is the seventh installment in the ‘Call of Duty’ series and has enjoyed critical acclaim as well as breaking several industry-wide records. The games release was not only the most successful release in video gaming history, but broke records across the entire entertainment industry. The game grossed more than 650 million dollars in its first five days on the shelves, which is more than any other book, video game, or theatrical film in history.
‘First Strike’ will be available on Xbox Live February 1st, and will be available on Playstation Network and PC sometime next month.
