Treyarch is at it again. Looks like a third map pack is on the way for Xbox 360 in August. Unknown yet again if this will be headed to PC.

From: http://www.callofduty.com/supplies/wawmappack3


Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 further expands the awesome COD multiplayer experience with four brand new maps. Fight for ocean territory in "Battery," an armored island surrounded by anti-ship mines and shore to ship cannons. Watch out for sniper fire as you defend Russia's most coveted resource in "Revolution," and keep a sharp eye out through the dense, overcast city streets in "Breach," set at Berlin's historic Brandenburg Gate. Zombies return in all their undead glory with "Der Riese" (Zombie Factory), a Nazi research facility featuring the weapon upgrading Pack-A-Punch Machine. Use the teleporters to escape in an instant and fight to the death in pursuit of the map's 10 new Achievements/Trophies

If they can keep these maps coming there is a very slim possibility that they can keep the eggboxers playing. Our console playing cousins are notorious for giving up on a game after a few months and swapping their attentions to the next new shiny. This continuous supply of new content might keep their interest going for a little while longer, and of course the flow of money from their pockets...

We of course get them after a little wait then we too have new maps to run on our servers. I know that there are a lot of good custom maps out there but the ability to run the servers as ranked is a benefit to some.

OMG !:( Has it come to this ?!? "do it like treyarch does" :p

Even with all the grief that the TA crew has dished out to the pc crowd, I gotta say you are right - at least in terms of quantity. IW last released a map pak June 4 '08 for CoD4 -
if TA releases this pak to the pc crowd, it'll be at least 10 months after WaW's release. Interesting to see how all this plays out.

I remember in an interview a month or two before map pack 1 was released, JD said that there would be 2-3 mappacks for the game. Looks like he kept to his promise. Just a shame I lost interest in this game a few months ago and started playing Modern Warfare. Wont be paying €9.99 for this on playstation anyway.

I wonder how many people would pay for a new Modern Warfare mappack? I would certainly pay for that if it was any bit good. :)

Is it possible (even remotely) that maybe we all judged WaW a little too harshly? And maybe possible that maybe Treyarch is still the Greymatter that we all loved with UO?

I know it's hard to believe, but there does seem to be the distinct possibility. The question is if IW will integrate many of the things that Treyarch put into WaW into MW2. I've got to believe they will, since it appears they aren't taking on the challenge of superior graphics or sound. I very much expect to hear praise of IW and their brilliance in creating these features, while Treyarch remains much maligned.

Sadly the closest I could find is a glitch video. But I am hoping that "Revolution" map is a reskin of the classic mp_stalingrad from COD:UO.

If it is, I hope it comes to PC.

I know I like their maps, there is an intricacy to them. I just don't like the way the game feels. Just wish we could have the WaW maps in MW.

Remember CoD4's custom map; mp_I - Forsaken Industry by Defeatist??

Take a look at the similarities between it and Revolution. Hmmm

I am actually pleasantly surprised. Assuming of course this comes to the PC.

Maybe FPS Admin could sponsor these maps? ;)

So IW is following up its succussful CoD4:MW with Modern Warfare 2. Yet Treyarch has said that with World at War they are closing the chapter on WWII for the CoD series. Which has led to predictions of Vietnam as the next battle field.

But now the great woowoo shall peer into his crystal ball ...

And what does he see in Treyarch's future but ....

ZOMBIES!

Based on the unbelievable interest in 4 co-op maps, especially among the console crowd, you gotta believe that Treyarch is wondering how much money can be made from Nazi and Banzi Zombies. So you heard it here first:

Call of Duty: Zombie War

That's my brillant observation on this Friday afternoon. -NVG3D- Have a fun weekend!

Nice one Woowoo good point well made. Zombie's are all over the blooming place. L4D, Killingfloor, WaW

If they go straight from WWII to Vietnam they are missing a massive opportunity to explore the Korean war.
