Ah, not released offcourse (despite promised).. Otherwise they can't rip gamers off for a few maps like this.. ;)
so far i have none of the map packs, and dont plan to buy this. shame, i am being denied good content cause of greed and fools who would pay whatever price no matter the value

Anyone who didn't experience the online FPS golden times on PC probably won't understand.. Maybe for the better as they will not feel as cynical as me about the current state of affairs with online FPS gaming and DLC etc.. Be happy!
Black Ops found it's way into the used games pile pretty fast.
Treyarch are plenty competent, they just haven't been handed a big project.
when you just make cash for EA, your personal profile suffers.

More importantly the AI was really noticeably poor by comparison and there were some awful hit detection glitches. In short I am going to skip the Treyarch efforts in future as "plenty competent" is not how I describe them. Poor man's COD developers would be more accurate although the sales don't reflect this, I attribute this in part to the number of people who will buy anything with zombies in it.
