Cuban hotels, Russian villages with deadly secrets and an old Soviet zoo are among the treats to look out for in the latest Black Ops map pack.
Treyarch has revealed details of its second Black Ops DLC map pack, Escalation. Due out on May 3, it's the usual collection of four environments, plus 'a zombie experience' named Call of the Dead. This time the action takes in a variety of locales, from the rooftops of Havana to rural Russia, with a quick trip to the zoo chucked in.
Here's a quick rundown of what to expect.
Hotel
According to Treyarch, this one is set on the roof of a luxury hotel and casino in Cuba, "against the vivid backdrop of old Havana". There are interiors of a plush gambling hall and an outdoor swimming pool. Online director Dan Bunting promises lots of flank paths and neat little places to hide. There are also elevators leading to upper rooms, with clear sniping points over the pool.
Convoy
With a hint of Homefront about it, Convoy is based around a Russian invasion of the US, playing on '50s fears of communist expansionism. A US army convoy has been hit by an ambush, and the map is placed amongst the wreckage. There's a road running through the middle with sniper positions high on either side. "Delivers intense, close-quarters combat," according to Activision's press release.
Zoo
Here we're promised, 'a wild ride' in an abandoned Soviet Russian Zoo. In the video, Bunting explains that the level contains lots of overwatch positions, with a monorail circuit running around the area. Sounds a bit like Discovery from the First Strike pack, with its long raised walkway, running the length of the map.
Stockpile
The most varied of the new maps, set in a remote Russian farm town, hiding secret WMD facilities with a stockpile of armaments. The building in the centre of the map has operational garage doors that players can close to protect key positions.
