From our hands-on experience with the maps, we found each offering to be a decent blend of the unique with the familiar that’s worth the price tag, but only if you plan on keeping this high selling juggernaut in your disc-tray for a while. While new maps are going to be a must buy for gamers who log countless hours on the Black Ops servers, at $14.99 they are a little steep for your casual Black Ops player. Each of the new maps, including Ascension, offer a unique gimmick, like Kowloon’s high speed zip-lines, that add a new dynamic to multiplayer matches. Sure, PC gamers have had access to modding tools that console gamers did not, but nothing beats hand-crafted maps from the developer (depending on price of course).Īmong the goodies offered with First Strike are four new multiplayer maps (Berlin Wall, Stadium, Discovery, Kowloon) and a new zombie map titled Ascension.

The First Strike Map Pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops is making its way to the PC this coming Friday after already releasing for both the PS3 and Xbox 360.
