Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation DLC Comes to PS3 on June 10

Activision Social Media Manager Dan Amrich has announced today that the Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation DLC is coming to PS3 on June 10, 2011.

To quote: Hopefully everybody enjoyed the double XP period for Call of
Duty: Black Ops in May - neither http://www.treyarch.com/ nor
http://www.activision.com/index.html wanted to see any of the PS3 fans
miss out just because of the technical issues.

Now the next round of Black Ops action is locked and loaded: the
long-awaited Escalation DLC pack will be available in the PlayStation
Store on Friday, June 10th.

Escalation features five big chunks of content - four multiplayer maps
and one star-studded Zombies experience unlike any other. For fans of
competitive combat, your new battlegrounds await:

- HOTEL takes the sunny splendor of a luxirous Cuban casino resort and
turns it into a bullet-riddled war zone. Details like the blown casino
safe and poolside bar offer some unusual cover for run-and-gunners, but
thanks to the high vantage points at opposite ends, it's also a great
map for snipers.

- Why not visit the ZOO? The big cats and deadly reptiles left this
abandoned Russian animal park long ago, but the overgrown, dilapidated
facility still plays host to the world's most dangerous game. Hide below
in the bear lair or snipe from above on the monorail track - you've got
the run of the place.

- If you're looking for a slice of classic Americana, check out the
small-town motel and diner near the ambushed CONVOY. The freeway
overpass has collapsed, leaving a missile stranded above and rubble
littered below - not to mention a pre-fab house, apparently in transit
by truck when the attack hit, now toppled on its side in ruins. Talk
about trailer trash.

- STOCKPILE looks like an ordinary town in remote Russia...until you
find the warhead hidden in the building in the center of town. Use
switches to slide the huge steel doors up and down - good for
restricting access during objective-based games.

Last but not least, CALL OF THE DEAD goes meta on zombie lore itself
with a unique setup: Cinema's zombie godfather George A. Romero is
making his latest undead epic - starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert
Englund, Michael Rooker, and Danny Trejo - only to have a real zombie
apocalypse break out, infecting the director himself and causing him to
stalk you throughout the level.

All the stars performed their roles with full motion capture and
voice-over, so when you and three friends take on wave after wave of the
zombie horde, you'll do so as some of Hollywood's most famous monster
mashers. Proof positive that there's a zombie killer in all of us.

Escalation will be available in the PlayStation Store on Friday, June
10, and to celebrate, the double XP will flow once more - enjoy twice
the rewards for your efforts through Sunday, June 12. It's also a
perfect time to try out some my unorthodox multiplayer strategies that
will keep your opponents guessing. Enjoy next weekend - I'll see you
online!
