Call of Map Packs

The current top console FPS has released another Map Pack. Call of Duty: World@War gives us another 3 multiplayer maps and a new zombie map. After Map Pack 1 release I was really impressed with the new multiplayer level layouts and they became 3 of their best maps immediately. Unfortunately Map Pack 2 doesn’t manage to do that at all. Banzai, Corrosion and Sub Pens are all gorgeous and have some interesting ideas put in place but they just all don’t come together like they should. Banzai I still have hope for but both Corrosion and Sub Pens just haven’t impressed me yet and seem to be a lot of hunt and chase instead of great choke points that require some coordination. But really the best thing about it is that Activision has shown they are willing to be the frontrunning FPS franchise and give plenty of current content to us. Modern Warfare 2 is only 4 months away and should eclipse the treatment WaW ended up getting as the 2 studio franchise split. There’s even rumors that they are exploring the possibility of a CoD MMO to really get us all hooked on their crack. We’re still a few years away from the next generation of FPS games so enjoy the best of the best while you wait.
