First Strike DLC release day

So the release day is today. We all frantically wait for the DLC and it's release.

Sadly myself and oOo snorlax oOo decided it would be a wise idea to stay up past midnight GMT in order to try and download... Treyarch wouldn't honour us Brits would they? Tssk. Typical.

Well the official release time was 10am GMT here in the UK. But as far as my storefront is telling me there is no such thing as DLC for blops. However the xbox.com marketplace says different.

We will be grabbing a few vids with any luck this evening of some gameplay on the maps and some screenshots for a few blogs so that you PS3 guys know what you're in for in March.

Have fun on the new maps all, did you frantically wait up and hope the release time would be midnight GMT? Or did you know that it would be honoured elsewhere?

First Strike vid!

Need I say more? Looks like it could offer alot more opportunities for snipers on berlin wall and Discovery. And the interactive environments look epic too; check out the auto turrets and the exploding bridge! I wonder if there's anything else in there for us to find.

Here's to the first of feb!

First Strike Map Pack

Since it has been officially announced now, i should really go into a little more detail about it.
On the 1st of February 2011 Xbox 360 gamers will get the first taste of the new maps.
The actual DLC includes 4 new maps and one new zombie map
Berlin Wall
Discovery
Stadium
Kowloon
and of course the zombie map will be called Ascension
The map which stands out the most to me seems to be 'stadium', not much is known, however it appears to be in a hockey rink style stadium. Now i already have a picture in my head of what this will look like and i can imagine it being one of the smallest maps, perhaps even rivalling nuketown :O

Some sad news for you PS3 and PC gamers though, you won't be getting your hands on these new maps until about a month later.
