Call of Duty: Black Ops Annihilation DLC out June 28
After word of new Cod Blops DLC leaked out this week, Activision has formally announced the 'Annihilation' pack for Treyarch's shooter. It'll arrive for Xbox 360 on June 28, packing five new maps.
After word of new Call of Duty: Black Ops downloadable content leaked out earlier this week, publisher Activision today formally announced it as the 'Annihilation' pack.
Annihilation will add five new maps, with 'Hangar 18,' 'Drive-In,' 'Silo,' and 'Hazard' for the regular multiplayer modes. Zombies mode takes a trip to 'Shangri-La,' which is described by Treyarch head Mark Lamia as "an exotic and mysterious map filled with deadly traps, dark secrets and innovative gameplay that will challenge even the most daring Zombie hunters."
As per Microsoft and Activision's exclusivity arrangement, it'll be released first for Xbox 360, on June 28. There's no word on when PC and PlayStation 3 editions will launch, but the last two Cod Blops DLC packs hit other platforms roughly a month later. Annihilation's price hasn't been confirmed yet either, but we can most probably expect it to be the regulation $15 (1200 Microsoft Points).
With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 expected on November 8, this may be the last new content for Cod Blops.

$45 bucks for 15 new maps (2/3 of which were in old COD's)... sounds like a steal!!!!

I'm not delusional and I'm not going to be drawn into a fucking DLC argument. I can understand 15 dollars for a decent sized singleplayer DLC, but these map packs are a fucking rip off plain and simple if it was 5 bucks or less sure I can understand but 15 dollars for 5 maps? seriously?...really? Yeah yeah I know if I don't like it then don't buy I get it but this RIP OFF is turning into the norm which is what really sucks ass.

It's just amusing for people who came from the PC space since a lot of titles from there come with such excellent free DLC.
At least they're getting updates. New content is the life-blood of online games.-
Listen, it all depends. For me its HIGH value for money, and I dont mind 3 of the maps. Just the zombis map is what I want. I know I will play for endless hours providing me more enjoyment than many full AAA titles. So I am sooo looking forward for June 28 to make my VISA to make ding-ding. Probably it doesnt have appeal for many of you - just dont buy it.
-
Oh I know. I'm glad that post-release content is available on consoles now.
I was just explaining the other side, why it is found amusing to people who are used to getting that in a different way. -

I came from the PC space and i completely understand the new practice. "a lot of titles" do not get free DLC, valve games get free DLC.
Devs used to make expansion packs, but now they make DLC that is released incrementally instead of in one package that probably would have cost the same.

Valve, Blizzard, Runic Games, Bethesda, id (??), Team Meat, various other Indy developers.
Hopefully DICE :/
Mods for BF were so great. ;.;-
Bohemia, Firaxis, Obsidian, Raven (Q4)
Looking at it, it looks like it is expanding instead of contracting.-
-
I like how you restrict it to being triple AAA titles. I think most of the Indy ones are great. Minecraft has some very interesting ones, like the city builder one that turns the entire game into an RPG with towns that grow and build themselves up.
There's Torchlight 2 and Skyrim, both to be huge releases with great mod communities.

Because charging people for stuff they've already paid for is bullshit.
-
-
If I've bought the previous COD titles, yes I have already paid for them. Instead of letting me import them into the current game, I get to pay for them again!!!
-
-
Yeah, and it was bullshit.
-
-
-
Back in the day, we'd get that for free. When they do almost zero work to them, and charge for you to have them in the sequel, that's stupid. But I'm not surprised, it's activision.

optional *1 new *2 content (for an exorbitant amount) > Tweaked maps for different game modes
*1 (if you don't want to play online with your friends)
*2 (some new, some you already paid for in a previous COD)-
All the black ops maps have been new afaik
-
Good. After the idiotic MW2 map pack bullshit, they should be all new. But, I won't be buying them because I'm done with COD until they do something new. They're more "Madden 2xxx" than Madden is now.

Then what's the point of half the threads in the chatty?

HIJACK. I take the chance of this thread to offer my willingness to buy your "Zombie Maps" code that comes with the Hardened Edition. I know many of you havent even bother sniffing at them and I would gladly pay for it via Paypal since this edition is sold out completely... thanks :)
-
Ah yes, here is the Treyarch's video showing the DLC content.

Best part is on the last minute, IMHO, featuring the zombies Shangri-La map :) -

they arent out yet
-
-
I'm out. After the last pack of awesome zombie map and shit multiplayer maps i'm done. The last two DLCs were practically worth the money just for the zombie maps, but I'm not doing it again. $15 for mediocre maps is not cool, the new homefront maps were $3 for two great maps, I wish they'd do that.
-
What about the released date for 3rd DLC maps on Playstation 3? 0.0
