14 DAY TRIAL // Another day, another leaked photo with the upcoming downloadable content for Call of Duty: Black Ops, as after yesterday's leak, we now get more details, including the name of the new map pack, Annihilation, and a release date, most likely for the Xbox 360 console, of June 28.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is one of the most popular video games in history, so, its developer, Treyarch, alongside the publisher, Activision, want to increase profits even more by releasing multiple downloadable content packs, with new maps for the multiplayer and cooperative modes of the game.
We've already seen the release of the First Strike and Escalation map packs earlier this year, and now the third one, possibly called Annihilation, is set to appear at the end of the month.
We saw the first details about the Black Ops DLC appear yesterday, when a blurry photo of what seemed to be a GameStop brochure showcased the four new multiplayer maps as well as the new Zombies scenario.
Now, a new photo, courtesy of Kotaku, depicts the full scale poster of the new Call of Duty: Black Ops map, which is called Annihilation and is set to appear on June 28.
The date is no doubt valid for the Xbox 360 platform, as Activision and Microsoft have a long term partnership that guarantee privileged Call of Duty DLC access before the PC or PlayStation 3 platforms.
Besides the name and release date, the maps are similar to what we saw yesterday, with four new levels for the competitive multiplayer, called Hangar 18, Hazard, Silo, and Drive In, while the Zombies cooperative scenario is titled simply Zombies, at least for the moment.
Activision has yet to comment on the two recent leaks of the new Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC, so fans should expect an official announcement at the end of the week or at the beginning of the next one.
