Hangar 18 is a medium-sized map filled with conspiracy-tinged Easter eggs. Most of the map's paths lead to and around the hangar, which is of obvious strategic significance.

The Drive In is fairly small, though it has a nice open spot in the middle.

Based on a Russian construction site, Silo is one of the largest maps in the entire game. Don't think you can sit back and turtle your way to the top of the leaderboards; because there are plenty of vantage points throughout the map, you'll need to stay mobile to win.

Treyarch drew inspiration from its World at War map Cliffside when they designed Hazard. This time around it's based around a golf course, however. Unless you're a sniper, you'll want to avoid the fairway. In fact, you may want to avoid the map if your sniping skills aren't up to snuff. Treyarch says this map is based almost exclusively on long-range engagement.

Finally, the zombie map Shangri-La is set in an exotic jungle. Unfortunately, it's also home to loads of traps and zombies.

A 3rd Map Pack! Hopefully that means they'll release a bundle with the three maps for a slightly lower price. Not that I will have any means of buying it...

They make new map packs fast... Maybe that's one thing they LOVE to do...

Reminder, that's the 360's release date only. According to the site, the PS3 date is not yet announced. This is to make sure bad games stay on bad consoles as long as possible.

Okay, I'll take my anti-COD opinions and leave.

Wait, at 2:28 he says that it's not as open as Call of the Dead. Are they serious? Call of the Dead is terribly cramped at most areas, and the the only open ones contain openings for zombies at almost every direction.

Other than that, I might get the map pack. The zombie level reminds me of Drake's Fortune; it's like they got two of the best things and combined them together.

Yeah sadly these packs are normally released a month later on PSN, with the exception of downtimes. In that case, PSN gets it 2 months later!

In all seriousness, the zombie map looks pretty amazing. Hopefully the golf course map turns out to be as good as it looks.

Yep, it's supposed to be a really tight spaced level. To me it sounds kinda annoying Also, I thought the same thing about it looking like Drakes Fortune!

Which is exactly what I said...

I don't think any of these packs are worth the money, the only reason I have them is from friends who can't resist buying.

I have both systems and aside from a different set up and a few exclusives to each system, both play the same games, and Xbox has more people online.
So why do you dislike Xbox if they (Xbox & PS3) generally share the same games?
:|
Sorry.
I just don't see why anybody would be apposed to the opposite system that they have. I personally like the setup of Xbox better (when you are online), but the quality in PS3 games is one thing that I like. But I have an HDMI for my xbox so there usually isn't a difference.


As for the COD DLC, I don't think I'll waste 1200 MS points just to play on another zombies map. lol
