Black Ops “First Strike” DLC Pack Announced

On February 1, 2011, Call of Duty: Black Ops will be receiving its first DLC pack, according to Microsoft’s Major Nelson Radio podcast.

Titled “First Strike”, the map pack will contain four standard multiplayer maps and one new zombie map.

Xbox 360 users will receive the pack approximately one month early (based on a similar arrangement for Modern Warfare 2 content), thanks to Microsoft’s deep pockets and awesome exclusitivity deals.

“One of the popular things we’ve added in several of the maps in the shipped game were the scripted moments, scripted elements and interactivity,” Treyarch revealed on the podcast. “So that’s something we’ve made sure we wanted to bring to every single one of the new maps.”

Multiplayer:

Berlin Wall: set around the Checkpoint Charlie crossing in divided Berlin.
Discovery: German research base in Antarctica, abandoned since World War 2.
Kowloon: on the rainy rooftops of Kowloon City in China, drawing inspiration from the single-player.
Stadium: a hockey rink in the North-Eastern USA.

Zombies:

Ascension: information unknown.

The map pack will sell for $15.
