According to The Telegraph, developer Treyarch have announced yet another batch of DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops that will be available by the 28th of June 2011. The third (and probably final) map pack for Activision’s most profitable game till date will be called Annihilation and will ship with four versus maps - Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo and Hazard. It’ll also have a co-op zombie mode called Shangri-La which according to Treyarch’s Mark Lamia will be "an exotic and mysterious map filled with deadly traps, dark secrets and innovative gameplay."

Overpriced DLC in da house

As always this map pack will first hit Xbox Live after which it’ll be available from the PlayStation Network and Steam. Judging by the price of previous map packs, this one should cost the same which would be around $15 (Rs. 627). Yes, that’s quite steep for a bunch of maps but then again, it’s Activision so no surprises there.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
