Escalation DLC Coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops

Australian retailer accidentally reveals official flyer for this May's map pack.

It appears that Call of Duty: Black Ops players will be getting some new maps in less than a month. The Australian retailer GAME posted a Black Ops image on their web site that states the game’s second map pack will be releasing on May 3. GAME has since removed it from their site but, lucky for you, the fine folks over at VG24/7 were able to snag it. The new multiplayer locales are revealed to be a zoo, a convoy, a hotel, a stockpile and a map for the zombie mode.

Due to Activision’s three year exclusivity deal with Microsoft, these maps will only be launching for the 360 on May 3. That is of course assuming that this date is solid. For reference, the first map pack released on 2/1 for Xbox 360, 3/3 on PS3 and finally came to the PC via Steam on 3/25.
