COD: BLOps Escalation Out – Zombies Ahoy

If you’ve had your fill of the current Call of Duty: Black Ops maps and were on the verge of hanging up your headset and taking up bonsai pruning, than stop.  Activision have just released the new map pack, Escalation, featuring five new maps for you to pour your time into.  Not only does Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation feature a handful of new maps, but it also boasts an all-star cast, featuring the talents of George A. Romero, Robert Englund, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michael Rooker and Danny Trejo among others.  Impressive casting – imagine forgetting the usual tired zombie modes and, instead, getting the original Freddy in your face.  That’s a map pack we’d actually pay for, but still, you’ll have to make do with the talents of his real-world persona – no bad thing. The Escalation pack’s new maps feature the following:

• Hotel – where players battle it out on the roof of a Cuban luxury hotel and casino against the vivid backdrop of old Havana
• Convoy – which delivers intense, close-quarters combat at the scene of an ambushed U.S. military convoy.  No Rubber Ducks included.
• Zoo – which sets gamers on an eerie ride through an abandoned Soviet Russian Zoo with danger at every turn
• Stockpile – which pits players in a remote Russian farm town, housing secret WMD facilities
• Call of the Dead – Escalation’s Zombie experience (surprised?) that assembles a zombie-carnage dream team to fight against a new and undefeatable zombie horde menace, all set in the dark, ice-covered isles of Siberia.

So, if you haven’t had enough of zombies or fancy some fresh multiplayer maps to blast through, then this may well be for you.  Anything with Robert Englund in has to be worth a glance at least.
