Second Call of Duty: WaW Map Pack Breaks a Million

The second map pack for Call of Duty: World at War only took four days to surpass a million downloads, publisher Activision revealed today.

Released for PS3 and Xbox 360 users last Thursday, June 11, the $10 add-on brings four new multiplayer maps to Treyarch's shooter.

The game's first map pack, released in March, took an entire week to break a million.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

    The first map pack was better, I think. The new maps include too many artificial obstructions that look like you should be able to climb onto or over them, but you can't. The river in Banzai is like a giant hole in the middle of the map that doesn't see any gameplay at all. I think they were concerned about it being too much of a killing zone, so they overcompensated in terms of making sure there are no good camping spots on the ridges on either side. The result is a dead zone in the middle of the map.

      However, shotguns work very well on the new maps, which adds a little variety compared to most other maps.
