For this blog entry, I’m going to be talking about the release of the new DLC (downloadable content) pack for the Call of duty Black Ops game, First Strike. In this pack, they gave the gamer four new online maps and one new zombie map.
One map which they released is called Berlin Wall. This map is divided into one half and the other half as if it was the Americans vs. the Germans. Treyarch made that you could cross to the other side three ways, two of the ways are on each side of the map, and the other one is in the middle. They also made an area of the map that if you stand in it, some turrets will start shooting at you which will kill you. I thought this map was pretty good and I kill a certain amount of players in this map.
Another map they released is called Discovery. This map doesn’t really have a current location/setting. But my guess is that it is sort of the setting of one of the missions you play in the campaign which you are Reznov (a Russian) and are playing in the year 1945, and the setting is similar to Discovery. In Discovery, Treyarch added a new detail which is that there are some bridges that you can blow up and the floor actually falls and breaks. I thought this was very realistic and it gives a certain taste to the map.
Another map they released is called Stadium. This map is set in a hockey stadium except you can get on the ice. There is nothing cool about this map and is pretty much the same as the maps that were released when Black Ops came out. In my opinion, this map was horrible and you can die so much.
The last online map they made is called Kowloon. This map is set in one of the missions of the campaign called Numbers. You fight against players on roof tops in what looks like a Chinese town. I didn’t like this map that much because it was very big and I get lost many times, so the other team always kills me. But one thing I liked that Treyarch put in was that you can use a zip line to get from one place to another very quickly. Although this is cool and effective, you have a greater chance of being shot. In my opinion, this map can have its good sides and its bad sides. I will have to keep on playing in it to get my full opinion about the map.

After reading this blog entry, I hope I encouraged people to buy the First Strike map pack and try out the new online maps and the new zombie map. I really recommend this DLC and I hope Treyarch will create more DLC packs with better online maps and better zombie maps.
