Activision's Call of Duty franchise is one of the biggest series of games currently active on the market. It has made history with the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare installment and confirmed the huge market appeal with the next title, CoD: World at War, which managed to sell over 11 million copies around the world.

The studio behind the title, Treyarch, is now making players who bought the game even happier, as the amount of new DLC in the form of fresh maps for the multiplayer mode and scenarios for the cooperative Zombie mode are plentiful.

The most recent installment, Map Pack 3, is now available for download for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 users, revealed Treyarch in an announcement. Set to bring three new multipalyer maps and one for the Zombie mode, it will certainly reach the same amount of popularity as the other map packs before it.

Here are some details about every map featured in the new pack:

* Battery: An armoured island surrounded by anti-ship mines and shore-to-ship cannons, “Battery” places soldiers on a mid-sized map based on Fort Drum (El Fraile Island) in the Philippines. Players will have plenty of areas to hide and a steady flow of close quarters combat!

* Revolution: “Revolution” pits soldiers against each other in a large factory set in Russia's cold city streets. Keep your trigger finger primed, your gun loaded, and your head low through this sniper-friendly territory!

* Breach: Overwhelm the enemy in “Breach,” set in Berlin's crowded city streets surrounding the historic Brandenburg Gate. Only the finest soldiers will survive in this fast-paced, dense battlefield!

* Der Riese (Zombie Factory): The undead horde approaches! Fight for your life in “Der Riese” (translated “The Giant”), an all-new Zombie map set in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, a device capable of upgrading weapons at the touch of a button. Use the teleporters to escape the vicious Hell Hounds and pray that the powerful Wunderwaffe DG-2 will appear before it's too late. This map includes ten new Xbox 360 Achievements/PS3 Trophies.

The new map pack is priced at 800 MS Points, or $9.99, or £7.99, depending on your preferred platform and territory.
