COD: Black Ops first DLC strikes today

Enjoying Black Ops more than we did? Well, we've got some news to make your Monday just that little bit more bearable.

We’ll admit it, we didn’t love Call of Duty: Black Ops when it first came out, and we’re frankly not been back recently to revise our opinions. That said, we know plenty of people disagreed with us, and its status as the largest entertainment launch of all time cannot be ignored.

For those people still playing and still loving it, and also for the folks who played it to bits but have put it down looking for a new challenge, Treyarch has announced Black Ops First Strike, their first DLC offering for the game.

First Strike features five new maps, including ‘Berlin Wall’, ‘Kowloon’, ‘Stadium’ and ‘Discovery, which features an abandoned German outpost in Antarctica. There’s also an attempt by Treyarch to jump onto the never-leaving zombie bandwagon with ‘Ascention’, a level where players fight against a range of zombie enemies including ‘perk-stealing zombie monkeys’ and ‘flesh-eating Soviet zombies’.

First Strike is available for download right now for PC gamers, and if you’ve got nothing better to do this morning Treyarch are also holding a bit of a Double XP ‘weekend’ to celebrate the lauch. Kill a couple of zombies for us, will ya?

I stopped playing this months ago, getting very same-old. Not overly challenging anymore, moved to BF-BC2 for the fun & re-playability. Looking forward to BF3.

Still play zombies though, 2 thumbs up for Ascension!

Was thinking about picking this expansion up.
Loaded COD MP last night and its still full of people cheating (Wall Hacks, Aim Bots ect).
So I won't bother pity becuase I don't mind plaing it with mates.

After making an effort to enjoy my investments in MoH, Black Ops and Homefront MP experiences, I have now returned the old COD4 Modern Warfare stomping grounds.

Still cant be beat for quick, uncomplicated fun, good map flow and a painless MP lobby. Even playing on US servers I have less in the way of lag problems than on local Aus Homefront servers...whats up with that?

BF3, Firefall and Brink...fingers crossed!!!
