*OFFICIAL* Escalation Map Pack 2

[Niho]

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation downloadable content pack will launch worldwide, first on Xbox Live on May 3, 2011.

Escalation contains 5 all-new exceptionally varied maps; featuring 4 Multiplayer maps and an epic Zombies experience with all-new playable characters.

In Multiplayer, battle it out in "Hotel", on the roof of a Cuban luxury hotel and casino against the vivid backdrop of old Havana; "Convoy" delivers intense, close-quarters combat at the scene of an ambushed US military convoy; "Zoo" takes you on a wild ride in an abandoned Soviet Russian Zoo, with danger at every turn; "Stockpile" pits players in a remote Russian farm town housing secret WMD facilities.

For Zombies fans, "Escalation" features a unique Zombies experience. We can't wait to take the wraps off of our new Zombies map, Call of the Dead, a very special creation for all Zombies fans.

Additionally, to celebrate the upcoming release, there will be a Black Ops Double XP weekend beginning Friday, May 6th.

YEAH...

Call of the dead

Found this here:

Call for the Dead is John le Carré's first novel, published in 1961. It introduces George Smiley, the most famous of le Carré's recurring characters, in a story about East German spies inside Great Britain. It also introduces a recurring fictional version of British Intelligence, called "the Circus" because of its location in Cambridge Circus, that is apparently based on MI6.

Perfect time line for Ascension & Five, East German Spies inside Great Britain & MI6...

Plus Cambridge Circus = Conquer the Zoo maybe...

So could Call of the dead be based off Zoo...?

How exciting...

Can you say Hyena... 8-) Or maybe Tiger from the sign on the Zoo bit... :shock:

This would be straight out of Outbreak file #2, Where you have to fight Zombie Lions & Hyenas...

Regards Alpha.

Are there any cobra's in the zoo? 8-)

It almost seems like they are steps "escalating" to something... Or each map has a new objective gamemode :?:

Edit: Just realized words are blacked out. Hmmm.

[PuLsExEdGeZ]

Call...of the Dead.

It almost sound like or Implying that someone is changing into a zombie.

also it sound so.....outlawish. I don't know why but Call of the Dead screams cowboy theme to me.

So the next map could possibly be a British Map. I would love it to be in a radio tower (V-for Vendetta reference I don't know why) or It could possibly take place in another German Facility, we won't know yet till these next four weeks.

Its gonna be a LONG month...

Anyways, this looks as official as it gets. Time to ask Mr. Olin and Mr. Vonderhaar for a little more info. Just a little. IN the mean time my stomach hurts like the dickens, so imma go rest. Night CoDZ, and sorry I haven't been on in a while! Been playing Minecraft...

Just when I thought I had kicked playing Xbox...

[RedDeadRiot]

OMZ NO MOON??? NO AREA 51??? WAHHH HENRY LANGHEM.

I hope i can shoot zebras in zoo :)

[LiamFTWinter]

So Im guessing the crossed out bits are the EXACT names of the maps?

For example it would be Seize the SUPERAWESOME ZOO.

But at the moment the super awesome is blocked out.

So the zombie map wont be called call of the dead if it is that.

[Zombie_Creeper]

Alright, lemme break down the stuff here...

Call of The Dead, sure we are excited, but after Kino der Toten, Der Riese, Ascension....you bring me that name? Call of The Dead....anyways.

GKNOVA6 will be updated soon, I predict. We gotta get our eyes peeled. And find out what we can.

Let the Theory Madness begin! (I know we are on April but...w/e)

What a surprise. Playthegame are claiming that treyarch released this information exclusively to Playthegame and no one else. They also claim to know more than anyone else.

Im still waiting for Kevin Sherwood to sue them for copyright.

Regards Alpha.

Regards Snake.

Out of curiosity, why did you post two salutations with both parts of your name instead of just one?

[TheOneAndOnly]

PUMPED!

I don't give to sh*ts about MP maps...only ZOMBIEZ

Call of the Dead...bit out of keeping with the other zombies names..?

[AlphaSnake]

I second that... I don't even touch Mp anymore....

Make all those maps zombie levels Treyarch, I'm in heaven...

I make a point about this is the last part of the Perk Series, watch out for that.

Regards Alpha.

This actully could be fake. In Honesty all the Soldiers in those images are stock images from Call of Duty. We have still got no word whether it is fake or not. It might be that treyarch just reused stocks and is likely that but it could be fake. Just dont get your hopes up.

If you look at the way the names are printed on all the little map sections The zombie map would be called "Survive" not Call of the dead. So unless the Zoo map is called "Seize the" and the Hotel Map is called "Take the" the name should be "Survive".

good point

"call of the dead" just doesnt seem like an actual map name, more like a tag line.

[TheSnowmanPacino]

just wanted to clarify what he said in the video...JFK was assasinated in dallas tx.

I Love map packs...feels like christmas every couple months

[blackfire561]

Yeah i cant wait to see the map ZOO. Also i think the zombie map is called SURVIVE because the names of the maps are in caps its not call of the dead.

[JuggernautSoda]

Epic

Hate to be a stick in the mud but...

isnt that saying it would be released 3/5/11? Isnt it already April?

As seen here they use the date format of MM/DD/YYYY

and this next image the date format is DD/MM/YYYY

I dont see why they would change something like that when there marketing has been the same since launch.

[play2often]

The irony here. In the game 'Transformers War for Cybertron," there was a mode inspired by Nazi Zombies called "ESCALATION" which was the name of a few of the old transformers comics.

and for Convoy, looks like that is based off the highway segment of USDD.

never thought I'd see a map based off of a non-playable level, lols.

[hungry carr0t]

the bloody hand looks like it's on ice.....hmmmmmm

well it is a austrailian pic, so it would be in day/month/year

[YourdaWince]

I wonder what kind of Zoo it's going to be based off of because not all Zoos are built the same. When I think of Zoos I either different locals, some being close quarters while another part being wide open terrain which houses many an animal but blocked off by fencing, which in this case would be open up from some random animal outbreak beforehand. :3

Or I think of Jurassic Park 3 when they're in the Pterodactyl cage. Hehehe.
