Here's Eclipse: The Second Black Ops 3 Expansion Pack
Activision said they’d be telling us all about the second Black Ops 3 expansion pack today, and they kept to their word. Here are the four new maps that will be included in Black Ops 3: Eclipse, one of which is a remake of an old-time favorite:
· Spire: Spire takes Multiplayer combat to a futuristic sub-orbital airport terminal set high in the clouds. Multiple levels and open areas promote intense, mid-range combat around a clean, high-tech civilian environment. Watch your step, because one wrong move could send you plummeting back through the stratosphere.
· Rift: Head to the core of a harsh futuristic military complex, set high above an active caldera. Rift funnels and forces tight, intense engagements, where the only way through is forward. Utilise the unique core movement opportunities to outsmart and outplay enemies as you traverse the suspended rail system.
· Knockout : Housed in a traditional Shaolin Temple with a retro twist, Knockout sets the stage for a bloody Kung Fu tournament. This mid-sized map showcases a sharp contrast between the mid-range engagements of the traditional exterior architecture and the tight close-quarters of an eclectic 1970’s styled interior.
· Verge: In this re-imagination of the classic Call of Duty: World at War map, Banzai, Verge drops Multiplayer combat into the centre of a distant post-apocalyptic future, where two warring factions are entrenched in constant battle. Take control of the key bridge, fortresses, tunnel systems and waterfalls as you engage in high-speed action through this medium-sized map.
So what of the zombies? Zetsubou No Shima is the name of the new chapter in Black Ops Origins. Dempsey, Nikolai, Richtofen, and Takeo are back and in a new dangerous locale: a remote Pacific island that’s home to the Division 9 facility. If you had to guess they’ve been creating zombies in there, you’d be correct. Activision says this new chapter contains “a foliage-rich island map including new terrifying zombie enemies, a variety of innovative transport mechanics, more devastating traps and classic Zombies side quests.”
Playstaton 4 owners will get Eclipse first, as per the exclusivity deal; it arrives on April 19. A date for XBox owners hasn’t been announced, but it’s usually one month later. Eclipse will be $15 individually or, if you already have the $50 Season Pass, covered already.
