CoD Black Ops gets new Escalation pack on Xbox Live

New multiplayer maps and geek-tastic zombie fighting comes to Call of Duty Black Ops. But, for now, only on Xbox 360.

Our own personal interest in Call of Duty: Black Ops (or, as we lovingly refer to it around here, CoDBlops) has waned. There's only so many times we can play Nuketown. But there's still an entire nation's worth of players out there madly camping it up, calling in Cobra gunships, and generally, gleefully fragging away.

If you're part of this well-armed nation, and play the game on Xbox 360, today's your lucky day. The new Escalation map pack has launched on Xbox LIVE today. 

Here's what you get in Escalation:

• 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
• 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 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.  

Call of the Dead even features the incredible zombie fighting prowess of George A. Romero, Robert Englund, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michael Rooker and Danny Trejo, and music by rockers Avenged Sevenfold.

Can we get a map with some Sigur Ros music? That would be awesome and strange.
