Activision has finally announced that the  Escalation Pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops will arrive on May 3, confirming that the rumor spread in recent days by an Australian retailer. Just like the first DLC First Strike, Escalation packs will provide five new maps, four of the competitive multiplayer mode and one for zombies, which are also added new characters. Again the price will be 1200 Microsoft points, or 15 €. The maps will be Hotel (a luxurious resort with Cuban casino), Convoy (small ambush of a U.S. military convoy), Zoo (zoo abandoned Soviet) Stockpile (Russian country town that hides secret bases WMD) and the map to the Call Escalation zombie mode.

The DLC, as happened with its predecessor, will be exclusive to Xbox 360 time. Not announced the dates for the PC and PS3.

“In crafting the Escalation multiplayer maps – Zoo, Convoy, Hotel and Stockpile – the team developed them to be distinct experiences in their own right, giving players the variety they crave in both setting and gameplay,” said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. “And I don’t want to spoil any surprises for Zombies fans, but Call of the Dead takes it to a whole new level.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops continues to attract millions of gamers around the world online, logging more than 2 billion hours played and counting.  The game’s debut content pack, First Strike, shattered Xbox LIVE® launch records upon its release in February when it surpassed 1.4 million downloads in the first 24 hours alone.

Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision Publishing, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI), Call of Duty: Black Ops is rated “M” (Mature) by the ESRB for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence and Strong Language.  For additional Call of Duty updates, visit www.callofduty.com/blackops and also via Twitter @Treyarch. Additionally, to celebrate the upcoming release of Escalation, Treyarch will host a Double XP weekend beginning Friday, May 6th.
