Here is my Map Pack 3 write up.
Incase you have been hiding under a rock for the past week or so Map Pack 3 is due to be released August 6th for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It consists of three new multiplayer maps, (Battery, Breach, & Revolution) it also contains a new zombie map – Der Riese. Like before Treyach has created maps that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are fun to play.
I’ll jump right in and give my write up for each of the 4 maps!
Battery –
“An armored island surrounded by anti-ship mines and shore to ship cannons, "Battery" places soldiers on a mid-sized map based on Fort Drum (El Fraile Island) in the Philippines. Expect plenty of areas to hide and heavy close quarters combat!”
This map was one of my favorites. I liked how there was adequate cover and an interesting layout to the overall map. You’ll find that while it can really be used for running and gunning with many areas for close quarters combat, that there are areas off the sides with long straight runs that allow you to either snipe or give your rifles a work out. For objective games like CTF and Domination you’ll find that this map will provide you with good challenging matches. The reason for this has to do with the multiple flanking locations. You can’t just camp one spot to guard your objectives. If you do you’ll soon find that someone is right behind you…
All in all, I’m looking forward to spending lots of time on this map trying to explore every nook and cranny and getting some good games in on this map.
Breech –
“Overwhelm the enemy in "Breach," set in Berlin's overcast and crowded city streets surrounding the historic Brandenburg Gate. Only the fittest will survive in this fast-paced, dense battlefield!”
Like the description this map is really two separate sides with the Brandenburg Gate down the middle. There is a large open area on both sides of the gate with buildings around the perimeter allowing you access to the second floors and windows to guard objectives. I think this is the best map out of the three if you are a sniper. There are many open areas that you could easily snipe in but you have to constantly look over your shoulder, because you can easily be flanked as well. In the few matches we played on this map it was easy to see how you can get a good balance of run and gun and long range action in on a single map. Good times in my opinion.
Revolution –
"Revolution" pits soldiers against each other in Russia's cold city streets and large factory environment. Keep your fingers warm, your gun loaded, and your head low through this sniper-friendly territory!''
This is another map where you have larger open areas and surrounding buildings to snipe at enemies. This map however does lead more to closer combat. You’ll find that you have to choose your shots wisely. You can either try and shoot at the guy you see in the window across the map and give your location away or try and put the sneak on them and get a better shot. Could lead to some really good sniper battles, but with the amount of cover it lets a run and gunners make the rounds knifing window campers as well. It could be lots of fun with a diverse group of classes.[/COLOR]
Der Riese –
“The undead horde approaches! Fight for your life in "Der Riese" (Zombie Factory), an all-new Zombie map set in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, a device capable of upgrading weapons at the touch of a button. Use the teleporters to escape the vicious Hell Hounds and pray that the Wunderwaffe will appear before it's too late. This map includes 10 new Achievements/Trophies.”
The latest addition to the Nazi Zombies is the most involved and intricate of the series. This brings back having to activate the power to use traps & perk machines. All of your favorite perks are still in Der Riese and there are still the electric gate traps like in previous versions. I was a bit bummed that there wasn’t something that equaled the flogger but the Pack – A – Punch quickly made up for everything. The Pack – A – Punch can be used after you link all of the teleporters and it allows you to upgrade your weapon and make it “godly”. I personally never made it far enough to use it in the few matches I played, but I was sitting next to the WeTheGamerz crew and they did activate it and use it. It can turn even a simple weapon into the best weapon in the game. I can’t wait to go through and see what all the guns can turn into. I know that the browning and PPSH give you larger ammo clips and fire at faster rates, the ray gun also has higher ammo capacity and clip size and apparently it doesn’t damage you if you use it in close quarters. It really seems like unlocking the Pack – A – Punch is almost more important than spending points trying to get the latest and greatest guns from the mystery box. There is plenty of new information on the walls for those of you who really are into the zombies story line. All in all I think that Treyarch outdid themselves with this new zombie mode…
In my opinion the zombies is worth the $10.00 alone. The additional 3 mp maps are a great addition as well. I for one will definitely be picking up Map Pack Three as soon as I get home from work on Thursday & I’m looking forward to seeing you all on the battle field
