Blink and you’ll miss them. However, for one week only all three of the Call of Duty: World at War Map Packs are half price. Further details incoming... Map Pack 1 Map Pack 2 Map Pack 3 All packs are available now for the forehead-slappingly unmissable price of 400 MS Points apiece on Xbox LIVE, or 50% off whatever the normal price is on PC and the PlayStation Network. It’s a stonking bargain in any language, but you’d better be quick if you want it – this offer ends on November 1st.
Four multiplayer arenas in one neat package, including Nightfire which sees players fighting through a battle-scarred Berlin, a Japanese bunker shootout called Knee Deep, the aptly-named and underground-set Station and a Nazi zombie slaughterfest known as Verrückt – or Zombie Asylum in plain English.
Four more to fight through. Banzai is a desperate tussle to control a bridge over a jungle river and features hidden caves and a gushing waterfall. Meanwhile the action in Corrosion takes place in a broken-down train yard, or it’s a bombed-out submarine base in Sub Pens. Finally it’s those Nazi zombie fellas again in Shi No Numa (Zombie Swamp), which includes new Achievements, flaming hell-hounds and the lethal Wunderwaffe DG-2 to despatch ‘em back from whence they came.
Home straight, and a final quartet of maps. Battery is a battle for an armoured island base, Revolution is a skirmish through a sniper-infested Russian City and Breach takes in the tourist traps of the crowded Berlin streets (again). Lastly, Der Riese (aka Zombie Factory) takes players to a mysterious research facility, complete with teleporters, the weapon-upgrading Pack-a-Punch machine, ten new Achievements and more of those horrid undead National Socialists than you can shake a stick at.
