@ aaronfhff123 I do see where you are coming from. There is no doubting that Treyarch makes a good campaign and sets a great tone for it, but the MW series has a great tone as well. The MW series has great moments of awe, such as All Ghillied Up and One Shot, One Kill, or the final scene in MW2! With both games, my point is that those campaigns only last 2 hours. Once I'm finished with the campaign, I want to go to the online and play for countless hours just screwing around and having fun. There isn't exactly a 'tone' difference in IW and Treyarch's multiplayer, so what I'm looking for is some reckless, retarded fun, and so far, the MW series has done that better. So far, Black Ops has been pretty fun, but not like MW 1 and 2. W@W and Black Ops are simply betas for the MW series in terms of the online, so when MW3 comes out, I'm sure that it will feature everything BO did and more.
Black Ops Annihilation DLC hits XBL June 28
Activision confirms third add-on for Treyarch's latest Call of Duty game; four new multiplayer maps and Shangri-La zombie level coming to Microsoft's online platform this month.
As was widely suspected yesterday, Call of Duty: Black Ops will expand this month with an all-new map pack, due out first on Xbox Live.
Titled Annihilation, the new add-on for Treyarch's blockbuster hit will arrive on Xbox Live on June 28. The content will follow the precedent set by past add-ons First Strike and Escalation, in that it will be composed of four fresh multiplayer maps and one zombie level.
The new killing spaces included in the downloadable content are Hangar 18, Silo, Drive-In, and Hazard. Unfortunately, no further information was offered concerning the maps. The zombie level is titled Shangri-La, described by Activision as "an exotic and mysterious map."
Activision did not set a price for the Annihilation DLC in its announcement today, but previous map packs debuted for 1,200 Microsoft points ($15). There was no mention made of when the content will arrive on the PlayStation Network or for the PC.
For more on the Annihilation content, check out its first trailer, embedded below.
