Call of Duty: Black Ops – Escalation Map Pack Now Available

The second downloadable content pack (DLC) for Activision’s successful Call of Duty: Black Ops, Escalation, is now available to download form the Xbox LIVE Marketplace worldwide. Adding five new maps – four for multiplayer and a brand new zombie experience – the Call of Duty: Black Ops – Escalation provides the best possible reason to return to the theatre of war.

Super Tired of this. Activision had better up their game come November, I'm super tired of the rehashing tbh.

Blacktric4732d ago

As a start, they must add dedicated servers to the next Call Of Duty since most of the players are getting pissed because of the "host advantage" in Black Ops.

JoeIsMad4732d ago

I don't think that they are going to do this based on it not being "financially viable." Sure, they're eating money, but you know...

@Blacktric

THIS.

SixShotCop4731d ago

Totally agree with Blacktric. Host advantage is bullshit and they should punish the quiters. Like one of my buddies mentionned.. the next COD should be called COD: Host Migration.

andron4732d ago

These maps doesn't seem as interesting as the first ones.

Doesn't really matter as I won't buy these packs since they are over priced. I have to pay 105 Nok on PSN for them, thats 1/4 of what I paid for the actual game!!?

MasterD9194731d ago

Agree completely with both of your points...

Saw some gameplay videos and instantly realized that I am actually happy to have the 1st DLC maps compared to these. These maps don't do anything for me.

captain-obvious4732d ago (Edited 4732d ago )

just like always
a game and then 2 DLCs
after that a reveal of the next game on E3
and E3 is like what a month from now ?

thats how activision does its COD game life span (if you can call it that)

same thing over and over and over and over

Static-X4732d ago

Well COD fans don't mind so why do you?

LFC1EE4732d ago

Cool, and enjoy your new maps guys hope you have fun, but i will wait for the PS3.

SixShotCop4731d ago

Lmao! Whatever floats your boat dude. Have fun waiting!

S_C4732d ago

A disagree for saying im downloading it now WOW....only on N4G

skip2mylou4732d ago

they disagree because its a waste of money to buy an overpriced map dlc which should only be 5$

S_C4732d ago

@skip2mylou
at the end of the day its my money and ill decide what is worth my money and not worth my money and ill spend my money how i want to, ill bet you 90% of the people on here who say they wont buy them will buy them same as they said they wernt going to buy black ops and did

xPhearR3dx4732d ago

For those of you who can't find it on the dashboard, I've included the download link in my alternate source.

Black Ops 1 Nuketown versus Cold War Nuketown '84

From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.

Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."
