Map Pack 2

Coming out in June:

The pack will bring three new multiplayer maps and one new map for the delightfully bizarre Zombies co-op mode.

The multiplayer maps include:

Banzai, a fight for control of a tall river bridge, deep within enemy territory
Corrosion, which takes place in the ruins of a Russian train yard, and
Sub Pens, a close-quarters map set in a bombed-out Submarine base.

The Zombies map, Shi No Numa (Zombie Swamp), introduces "Imperial Zombies" along with "a mix of traps, flaming Hell Hounds, Perk machines and the deadly, new Wunderwaffe DG-2."

In addition to the new maps, the pack also adds ten new Achievements/Trophies.

So - who's getting it (I am)

I'm in, especially since they make it so hard for people who don't have it to play when they drop them into the regular rotation.

Guys...I know I dont play WaW really at all....but I do love to play Zombies. I will get the new maps just for the new Zombie modes.

Damn. I might just have to get it for the trophies. W@W is the only game I have 100% of the trophies for, including the Platinum. Nice!!!!!!!

Honestly, it seems like they are sort of trying to make up for the loss in sales (compared to MW) by bleeding the loyal. It really wasn't that long ago that they released the first map pack. Installments are fun, but will it be another $10? Now the game has become a $70+ dollar game. I guess for the loyal it is a nice and fresh option, but it may complicate the already troubled servers for those who can't afford/don't want the map pack.

Regarding Zombies... it is quite a bit of fun, but it feels like when things go bad, they go bad really fast. I wish it was a bit more of a leak than a levee breaking when they overwhelm your defenses. You know, make it more of a tense and futile few minutes than a quick and anticlimactic death.

I'll probably get it as well. I finally got into the new zombie map with three others and we made it to level 20, before becoming overrun. The vending machines are a nice touch as well as the barriers, so the next one sounds like a blast.
