News Network/ — Call of Duty(R): World at War continues to unleash the
fury, as Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Treyarch
announced today that Call of Duty(R): World at War Map Pack 2 is now
available for download on Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment
system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment
system. The new map pack delivers four new maps – including a brand new
Zombie map – for the blockbuster title that has now surpassed 11
million units sold across all platforms, according to The NPD Group,
Charttrack and Gfk.
“We are thrilled with the ongoing support from Call of Duty: World
at War’s online community,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch.
“To the millions of fans enlisted for battle, we can’t wait for you to
play what we have been working on with our new competitive multiplayer
maps, and our latest co-op Zombie map, that reveals some exciting
surprises!”
Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 will include:
BanzaiDeep in the jungles of Japanese controlled territory, players will
battle to control the tall river bridge in “Banzai,” a bright,
medium-sized jungle map featuring a stunning waterfall, villages and
hidden caves well suited for deadly snipers, surprise attacks and all
out gun battles.
CorrosionIn “Corrosion,” players will face down the enemy in a deteriorated
Russian train yard. Shattered pipelines and war torn train cars
decorate this mid-sized map and are great for full-out team combat.
Beware, because the enemy could be anywhere!
Sub Pens“Sub Pens” drops players into a close-quarter abandoned Japanese
submarine base that’s littered with live ammunition, breached subs and
idle fighter planes. Monsoon rains will be a factor as teams struggle
to control key choke points in this tight map designed for exciting and
deadly battles.
Shi No Numa (Zombie Swamp)In this addition to the four-player co-op favorite, the un-ending
Zombie horde requires players to keep moving, moving, moving! Imperial
Zombies rise from the misty swamps and flaming Hell Hounds blaze
through the jungle as players struggle to stick together. The situation
is bleak, but there is help on the way: new traps to keep the undead
out (the deadly Flogger), a zip line for quick escapes, and best of
all, a new weapon: The Wunderwaffe DG-2. The DG-2, aka “The Lightning
Gun” is the pinnacle of secret Nazi technology. Packed with 200,000
amperes of devastating chained electrical current, The Wunderwaffe DG-2
should help even the score and enable players to capture the 10 new
Xbox 360 Achievements/PS3 Trophies waiting for them inside the deadly
swamp.
Call of Duty(R): World at War Map Pack 2 is currently available on
Xbox LIVE(R) Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment
system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points and on the
PlayStation(R)Store for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system
for $9.99.
