Well, the gamers who loved Call of Duty: Black Ops will surely love its new pack, known as First Strike. It’s a new DLC release with five new maps. Along with the new incredibly diverse maps spanning the globe; featuring 4 multiplayer maps and a new Zombie experience. As per the price, we can say that Call of Duty is probably the most greedy as all its series loved to eat all small coins. In short, for a pack of 5 additional maps, you will need to spend € 15, with the temporary exclusivity on 360.
As I said above that First Strike has 5 maps, they are Discovery Stadium, Kowloon, Berlin Wall and Ascension, the latter being dedicated exclusively to the famous zombie mode. I must admit that all these 5 maps are just of excellent quality, all clearly distinguished by their environment and their way of being played. Say what you want to Treyarch, but the truth is that the buggers have often been intelligent to invent balanced multiplayer maps, trouble-free to understand without basic, and have a true identity also.
Maps:
Berlin Wall: "Berlin Wall" features combat on both sides of the imposing wall.
Berlin Wall
Discovery: "Discovery" is a desolate, frozen German outpost in Antarctica
Discovery
Kowloon: In "Kowloon", battle in the rain along the rooftops of a towering Chinese sprawl
Kowloon
Stadium: "Stadium" is an intense locale with a pro hockey arena backdrop
Stadium
Ascension: In "Ascension", fight zombies in a Soviet launch facility
Ascension
First Strike is really awesome. It has varied multiplayer levels and attractive in both creatively and gameplay, though with an overall eye on hardcore gamers of more exotic game types. Those who support sending off the legions of the ruined with more and more stupid weapons will love the new Ascension zombie map meanwhile and its house blend of evil monkeys. Still keeping that in mind, the fact is that First Strike could pass as their best achievement to date. Gamers will really be grateful for the attention made here to every small detail regarding each of these new environments. An example would be this kind of no man's land that splits into two Berlin Wall. Without going through the two holes in the wall of this area , systematically trigger heavy fire from automatic guns. In Kowloon, in addition to the rain, the corners of vicious, most suicidal may try to cross the map using zip ... The simple way of moving ahead on this map is already an interesting challenge. In Discovery Map, it will be possible to collapse an ice bridge and observe an aurora in the aftermath of a cave.
As for Stadium, just being able to fight near an ice rink (but unfortunately not really above) is quite refreshing. This map will seem the most familiar to one and all. In all cases, you will discover a multitude of angles and corners of vicious snipe necessarily accessible from one side it will be possible to block completely. Briefly speaking, the whole thing is probably balanced and fun to play. Actually, stadium is the place where it will be difficult to differentiate between grenades and rains, it offers immediate recall to the likes of Firing Range and Nuketown. This map is packed with zigzag roads through the main concourse, but it's also perforated by slim corridors that guide to open portholes where troupe are a little too sheltered from the hustle-bustle downstairs.

Now, if we talk about Ascension map for the Zombie mode. Again, Treyarch is very tormented by offering an design with the skill to jump from one end to another level by using flying platforms. You will also notice some stupid jokes at the turn of corridors before facing some tiny zombies monkeys (yes, you read correctly), substitutes crazy dogs of hell. Anyways, taken as such, the first DLC of Black Ops is of excellent quality, lining up a handful successful maps in terms of gameplay as well as design (considering that technically speaking, the multi Black Ops is still very ugly). The last multiplayer map of this pack is Discovery that is a hoary military base underneath the green shimmer of the northern lights. Discovery dedicates the experience of Summit map from Black Ops that meshed with Grid along with featuring a central canyon and a number of partly destroyed bridges, creation for few amusing CTF and HQ attacks since it smartly directs passage into compromising circumstances.
