Call of Duty: Black Ops 'First Strike' DLC adds five maps

Releasing as timed exclusive for Xbox 360

Xbox 360 owners, prepare to spend 1,200 Microsoft Points for some new maps from the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 'First Strike' DLC. This is a timed exclusive for 360 users and set to arrive February 1, 2011.

Two of the multiplayer maps included are somewhat based on two single player levels: 'Discovery' takes place at an Antarctic research station while 'Kowloon' brings firefights to the rooftops of this urban area in Hong Kong. 'Berlin Wall' is staged at the historic Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin and the not-so-serious 'Stadium' pits players against each other in a hockey rink of all places.

For fans of Zombie Mode who want more variety than just playing 'Kino der Toten' and 'Five' over and over again, the new "Ascension" map should bring in fresh challenges.

Nah, I'm not broke, I just dislike having to pay 15 bucks for content that usually is 10. That's all. Activision learned they can rip us off and that's what they're doing.

And it's due to people like this that Activision continue their destruction of the gaming industry.

If it's not worth $15 then don't buy it

okay, and now for real? why is 15 bucks for good quality DLC such a rip off in your opinion?

5 extra dollars I could easily spend on something else. I mean, 15 buck is my ms points card. I only have 200 left over. Damn Canadian points.

yes, that's what we call: making choices, very normal in the financial world. it's still not a very good reason to join the nerdrage against a gamecompany though.

i have the feeling that most people who are upset about this whole thing involving cod and 5 bucks extra for DLC don't know half what they are doing. they just see a small group of autists on the internetz pulling out their hair and shaking back and forth because of the sudden changes they can't handle and assume it's the cool thing to do and decide to join the parade closely followed by... (guess what), even more people. that's basicaly what keeps this codrage going on.

and all that while there's nothing to be upset about, 5 maps from each high quality, a team of people have spend months designing that stuff, you may use it whenever you like for as long as you want. it'll be worth it if you like playing the game. if not then it's not important, why make a big deal out of it?

The thing I'm mad about is that everyone is going to buy it. Making Activision know that that no matter the price, people will buy the Dlc. For example, not buying the Dlc will make activision think that they should reduce the prices. Now 500,000 people not buying it would make a giant difference, like trearch reducing their prices. I mean, we have to pay 50 dollars every year... Are we not spending enough money? Just throwing my idea out there.
