Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 Makes a Splash

I have heard the grumblings of how it's "not as good as Call of Duty 4," "just another World War II shooter" and just "not Infinity Ward." I think these complaints are more because the name on the box is Treyarch and not Infinity Ward. If this was any other developer of 'AAA' titles, they would be getting commended on how enjoyable the experience and how fantastically supported the game is with DLC. Instead, people make a big deal about how unoriginal "nazi zombies" are when it is simply just an added mode to play with your friends.

It's time to appreciate good customer and community support, regardless of the name on the box.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug 06, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- The war rages on with intense fury for one of the most-popular online multiplayer games, as Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and developer Treyarch announced today that Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 is now available for download on Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 includes three new multiplayer maps and one Zombie map:

-- Battery: An armored island surrounded by anti-ship mines and shore-to-ship cannons, "Battery" places soldiers on a mid-sized map based on Fort Drum (El Fraile Island) in the Philippines. Players will have plenty of areas to hide and a steady flow of close quarters combat!

-- Revolution: "Revolution" pits soldiers against each other in a large factory set in Russia's cold city streets. Keep your trigger finger primed, your gun loaded, and your head low through this sniper-friendly territory!

-- Breach: Overwhelm the enemy in "Breach," set in Berlin's crowded city streets surrounding the historic Brandenburg Gate. Only the finest soldiers will survive in this fast-paced, dense battlefield!

-- Der Riese (Zombie Factory): The undead horde approaches! Fight for your life in "Der Riese" (translated: "The Giant"), an all-new Zombie map set in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, a device capable of upgrading weapons at the touch of a button. Use the teleporters to escape the vicious Hell Hounds and pray that the powerful Wunderwaffe DG-2 will appear before it's too late. This map includes 10 new Xbox 360 Achievements/PS3 Trophies.

Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 is currently available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points and on the PlayStation®Store for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system for $9.99.
