So yes it's that time again, the second map pack for black ops has been leaked onto the net, according to a source it was leaked onto an australian game website but swiftly pulled off. Apparently not quick enough though.

Another zombie map...not my cup of tea but as i know full well there are plenty of zombie fans out there who are going to be snorting juice from their noses with excitement.
Furthermore and slightly on a side note i would like to apologise for my absence on this blog recently.

30 Seconds of Berlin wall
Well as promised here is the latest clip of Berlin wall, I will conjure up a clip focussing on the other four maps, but as the COD theatre is so fussy it appears you can't dowload the clips to your harddrive and make a youtube video montage from the numerous 30sec clips it allows you to upload. Which is a bit poor.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to upload decent clips to youtube (i.e. the best capture cards on the market atm, then please send through some tips!

Double experience weekend! 4th till the 6th.
So it has been a long time coming but this weekend will be double experience weekend. This time it's confirmed, and cheers to oOo Snorlax oOo for doing the research behind this one.
So what does that mean? Well what it should mean for all you who play HQ and play HQ well is that you'll be racking up experience points in the region of 20,000 a game! If only they made it double Cod points too, now that would be interesting.
As for me (ShoooRn94) I'll be on saturday evening, and maybe a bit on sunday evening to try to make the most of this xp!
I hope this pleases many, I'll get back to playing the new maps. In the meantime check out this knife to your crotch technique.

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.
Black ops First Strike download.
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?

For the meantime check the vid! See what you think.

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!

Patch 1.06
Patch 1.06 is just days away and so i felt it right to give you guys abit of information on whats to be expected.
The main things we can expect to see a change in are,
The AK47u with grip will have the re-center speed adjusted, at the moment its too quick and even though its beneficial to us it will make it slightly harder to keep a good killstreak if you can't aim on target as quick.
Changes to Kill Credits: In simple terms this means the person who floors their victim and said victim seems to be using Second Chance, where as before someone could come in for the cheap kill and you would be left standing with just as assist :/ yeah i know its harsh but that wont be the case for long. After the 1.06 patch the person who steals the kill will take the assist.
For me this is going to be what makes the newest patch worth having, as every day i feel like rage quitting when i keep getting my kills stolen just because people feel the need to use second chance.
Changes to the RC car, okay this isn't a definite as different sites seem to have opposite sources, so at present its just a rumour but the minimum and maximum damage radius will be evaluated and possibly reduced and there could even be a tweak to the speed.
Now i can't speak for everyone but i for one would love to see the actual amount of kills needed to acquire the RC car increased however treyarch have said "Changing the kill requirement isn't feasible at this time" :((
I was hoping for a lot more but at least its something.

Kowloon could be interesting.
Yes it's me again. Two posts in one day? Utter madness, you'd think I was a student or something.
Anyway, on quickly pottering around the internet it appears that Kowloon as mentioned below in Snorlax's post is one of the most recently added maps to the DLC with the 4 other maps being viewable on the disk amongst the hidden data that only the techno-freaks know how to find.
As we all know Kowloon isn't quite a "hidden" map considerring you play it within the single player and it most definitely was one of my favourite parts of the single player. It will be an enclosed environment at a guess and most likely will have a few tiers.
What would be epic however is the balcony shootout section being the main base of the map (where you had to run between balcony's before falling to the floor) it could supply a few choke points and could be a good section for snipers. If it is just quite enclosed I can see it being sub machine gun heaven.
One thing I love about this Call of duty is that of the activity outside the maps (the missile on launch, the train on WMD, the saws on radiation etc.) I wonder whether the plane seen in Kowloon will make an appearance in the map? We can only hope.
Thoughts below ladies and gents....

Famas' everywhere.
So I've just returned from my holiday to Paris! After getting stopped at every security check-in I realised that carrying an Ak through border control was a bad move. None the less I have returned to Britain and picked up my controller last night to join snorlax for a quick game.
One thing that was obvious in France was the mass of soldiers carrying famas-es! The weapon of France most definitely. Think about how patriotic you're being to the French the next time you choose the famas within your loadout.
In other news:
From what myself and snorlax have discovered our K:D's are suffering a bit on Cracked. A map with large open spaces complicated by smaller enclosed spaces with dead end rooms and camping spots. We've also taken to playing sabotage quite a bit recently which not only helps by keeping the spawns pretty standard and set goals that the entire team can push forward for. The only problem I feel with sabotage is that it can be over very quickly. Also only having an attempt from one spawn can be a bit annoying over time when you've pushed forward many times and the entire team seems incapable of pushing forward with you.
Anywho to help any of you in the same situation as this here is a map that could well come in use:

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.
