First Look: Call of Duty: Black Ops "First Strike" DLC

With Call of Duty: Black Ops having been released only 2 months ago, the first DLC pack will be released in only just 1 more month; on February 1, 2011.

Just today, Treyarch has released the first preview on what's in store for us in the new "First Strike" DLC.

We'll be seeing 5 different maps; Kowloon, Discovery, Berlin Wall, Stadium and Ascension. Ascension will be the only map that will only be used for Nazi Zombies. Although details are almost nowhere mentioned in the video, but it's good to hear that Treyarch will most definitely support Zombies again, just like they did with World at War, since that mode became a multiplayer hit.

Here's some details on these new maps from Treyarch themselves:

Kowloon - "Is inspired by the single-player campaign level...The only map that has ziplines, which will allow players to quickly get Point A to Point B. The trade-off ito that is that you're completely exposed while you're on the zipline...there's also the risk that you're going to get shot..."

Discovery - "An Antarctic research outpost that was a German outpost leftover from World War II...the 2 sides of the map are divided...You might be on a snowbridge and somebody throws a grenade, which collapses the floor around you.

Berlin Wall - "This focuses on the checkpoint Charlie area of Berlin that puts you fighting on the 2 different sides of the wall. So you got East Berlin Vs. West Berlin kind of thing going...if you use [the map] right, you're going to have the competitive edge over your opponent....it's a really great map for snipers."

Stadium - "It's going to provide those close quarters players tight, adrenaline action packed experiences...always be checking your corners and realize these engaging distances are going to be really small, so use that to your advantage"

That's all the details on Black Ops' first DLC that, as mentioned, will be available on February 1, 2011. As far as pricing goes, it'll cost 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). "First Strike" will release first on Xbox 360. As far as we know, there's no date on when it will be released on PSN for Playstation 3, or PC owners of the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops was developed by Treyach and Published by Activision. The game launched on November 9, 2010
