It’s here! I’m not into multiplayer though, I’m more of a single player kind of guy myself. I like the story driven games and not just run and gun like multiplayer. That and I can’t stand the goofy kids..

 

/PRNewswire/ — Call of Duty®: Black Ops , the best selling game ever on the Xbox 360®, today unleashes a new onslaught of combat with a fresh delivery of downloadable content, Call of Duty®: Black Ops Annihilation .  Available now worldwide on Xbox LIVE, Annihilation delivers four new multiplayer maps and a mind-blowing Zombies experience for the ultimate online showdown.

Annihilation is the third downloadable content pack release from Activision and Treyarch in support of the worldwide phenomenon and record-setting Call of Duty: Black Ops .  Fueled by the breakthrough Call of Duty®: Black Ops First Strike and Call of Duty®: Black Ops Escalation content packs, the blockbuster title is recognized for having the highest selling add-on content in Xbox LIVE history, according to Microsoft.

The Annihilation content pack’s new maps include:

  • “Hangar 18,” located in the highly classified military base of Area 51, where gamers will fight through experimental weapons labs, the SR-71 test hangar and a mysterious autopsy room.
  • “Drive-In,” where players experience close-quarters combat through a 1960’s American Drive-In theater, complete with a snack shack and a classic arcade.
  • “Silo,” where-in gamers can infiltrate a massive secret Soviet nuclear missile site under construction within a multi-level battleground.
  • “Hazard,” located on the cliff sides of Cuba, gamers can explore a coastal golf course fit for a Dictator, where stocked clubhouses and manicured fairways meet snipers hidden in sand traps.
  • “Shangri-La,” the all-new Zombies experience, transports players into a mythical paradise overrun with the undead. Our Heroes will come face-to-face with new species of zombies and navigate through a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns, all set within a legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle.

“Our commitment to delivering great new content for Black Ops continues with Annihilation ,” said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. “ Annihilation offers four of the best Black Ops multiplayer maps to date, and a stunning new Zombies experience laden with deadly traps and dark secrets buried deep within the shifting walls of the infested temple.”
