New COD2 map pack invades XBL

Activision has announced that the latest map pack for Call of Duty 2 is now available on Xbox Live. The Invasion Map Pack features five new maps for use in multiplayer games and costs gamers 800 Marketplace points ($10).

The download takes frag-fests to five new locations across war-torn WWII-era Europe and North Africa, including Antonville, St. Louet, and Amaye sur Seulles in France; Alam Halfa in Egypt; and Rostov in Russia.

This is the third map pack released for Call of Duty 2 over Xbox Live. Previously released were the Bonus Map Pack and the Skirmish Map Pack, which together added four new multiplayer battlegrounds.

Call of Duty 2 is rated T for Teen, and the Game of the Year Edition (which includes a free download of the Skirmish Map Pack) is now available for $59.99. For more on Call of Duty 2, check out the full review and GameSpot's Summer Assault tournament.
