Nice find. Hopefully Shangri-La won't be as boring as COTD and Ascension.

I still play black ops, so I'll prob still buy it.

Yeah me too! I need some spare $$$ but Im def getting them!

Even though I dont play zombies much the new one sounds exciting!

I cant wait to see and play them

The pack will hit Xbox Live on June 28 as a timed exclusive. PlayStation 3 owners can expect it a month later. For some reason best known to Bobby Kotick, Activision isn't releasing any screenshots until 6pm (you see, this is what I mean by the obsessive drip-feed of information), but I'll update the story when I'm allowed to show them.


By the way, Activision will also be holding a Double XP weekend, starting Friday July 1.
