The first rule of successful franchise these days is to milk the same with DLCs, and Call of Duty: Black Ops has jumped on the DLC bandwagon for the PS3 version of the game. After releasing the same DLC on Xbox Live for 1200 Microsoft Points, it hits the PSN for Euro 14.49 (Rs. 900 approx.). The First Strike DLC will include five new maps, which include Berlin, Stadium, Discovery, Kowloon and, of course, a zombie map dubbed Ascension. Treyarch has also released a music video to create some noise around the release. Check it out below:
The First Strike DLC coincided with a new patch for Black Ops. The update version 1.07 brings in following bug fixes, gameplay modifications and introduces an in-game store. Additionally, the amount of XP generated will be double for Call of Duty: Black Ops players this weekend, and this applies to all platforms. So happy shooting.
New Features:
- Added the in-game store.
Issues Addressed:
- Setting party privacy to "closed" now fully functions as intended.
- Improved connectivity in matches containing multiple online split screen parties.
- Calling in a Chopper Gunner immediately after getting shot down in a Gunship will no longer end the Chopper Gunner run prematurely. Required timing-specific button presses.
- Split screen players are now able to change camera perspectives and cycle through players as a spectator.
- Fixed rare infinite load for clients with slow connections who join on a friend at the end of a match as the final killcam is ending.
- The name of a copied custom class no longer reverts back to the default after changing it.
- Fixed a rare issue where gun sight lenses could appear opaque.
- Addressed an issue where the most recent match played in Zombies could overwrite the best match played on the leaderboard.
- Improved Zombies lobbies to prevent players from erroneously receiving the error "Unable to join game session" under certain circumstances.
- Fixed rare infinite load that could occur in Zombies involving split screen parties accepting an invite into a Private Match.
- Addressed a number of community-discovered Zombies gameplay exploits.
- Additional security feature updates.
Gameplay Tuning:
- Additional sniper rifle tuning.
