The remodel into a giant tanker rather than a sports stadium is a neat gimmick as it looks superior to the original, but any Black Ops fan has played this map as recently as a year or two ago, and it’s simply not that remarkable of a map to charge for in the last bit of Black Ops II DLC. You wouldn’t know it at first, as it took me around 30 seconds to realize it, but it’s almost a shot-for-shot remake.

Takeoff is actually a take on the original Black Ops‘ Stadium, comprising one of the two remakes in the pack. Frost does nothing to add to the map pack’s value, but it’s a decent one to have in the rotation. Camping is an incredibly viable strategy here, as there are tons of corners jutting out next to wide open doorways. Lovely cheese and candy shops litter the town, as do bars, and multiple indoor areas - so if your strategy hinges mostly on aerial support, you’re going to be stopped cold in Frost.īut while indoor combat helps mix things up overall, the outdoor areas are extremely dull - capped off by just one major sniping corridor, and a pretty lifeless bridge area.

Here we are again with another snow themed map! Frost is very similar to Berlin, but not quite as memorable, or good. There’s not a whole lot to say about it beyond that. In short, it’s very safe, and ultimately feels like wasted potential - like they gave up halfway through designing it. It’s a decent map overall, but it pulls no punches, and feels very traditional, like it was designed by Infinity Ward as filler.

Quite literally, there are “pod” housing units scattered about the map, and there are a good amount of structures dotting the landscape (with lots of browns and greens for good measure) to mix things up.

Released: Aug(Xbox 360) / TBA (PC, PlayStation 3) Apocalypse is a curious prospect, with two remakes, two brand new maps, and a zombies map that features giant robots with the reunion of the original four World at War stars.īut while Treyarch is generally known for their original map design, they played it a bit too safe here, and the package falls a bit flat.Ĭall of Duty: Black Ops II: Apocalypse DLC (PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 ) We’ve already had three quarters of the Season Pass on offer so far in Black Ops II‘s lifespan, and we’re finally on the last bit of DLC.
