SANTA MONICA, Calif.,
July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Call of Duty®: Black Ops detonates its latest
downloadable content pack on PlayStation®3 and Windows PC gamers
with the release of Annihilation, the third DLC pack
for the critically acclaimed and best-selling title.
Fans have logged billions of hours in Call of Duty: Black
Ops since its record-setting debut in 2010.
Annihilation packs four of the most varied and
intense Black Ops maps to date, along with a new Zombies
experience filled with countless hours of new gameplay.
The Annihilation content pack includes:
- "Hangar 18," buried deep within the military black site
Area 51, where gamers will battle through experimental weapons
labs, the SR-71 test hangar and a mysterious autopsy room.
- "Drive-In," where players engage in close-quarters
combat through a 1960s drive-in theater, complete with snack shack
and a classic arcade.
- "Silo," a massive multilevel battleground tucked within
a super-secret Soviet era nuclear missile site.
- "Hazard," perched on the verdant Cuban cliffside,
where gamers traverse a coastal golf course fit for a dictator.
This is the only set of links where the hazards shoot back.
- "Shangri-La," the all-new Zombies experience, which
transports players to a mythical paradise overrun with the undead.
Face off against new species of zombies and navigate a treacherous
labyrinth of underground caverns, all set within a lost jungle
shrine.
"Annihilation delivers four of the best
Black Ops multiplayer maps, and a mind blowing new Zombies
experience with Shangri La," said Treyarch Studio Head,
Mark Lamia. "With
Annihilation, fans are really going to have a lot of fun
continuing to play Black Ops online for a long time to
come."
