All eyes might be on the upcoming Modern Warfare 3 release in November, but that doesn't mean current Call of Duty players haven't got anything to look forward to in the interim. Activision has announced the third downloadable content pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops, with the Annihilation map pack bringing with it four new multiplayer maps and one new Zombie mode map to the popular shooter later this month.

"With Annihilation, Black Ops fans will get four exciting and unique multiplayer settings with Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo and Hazard," said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. "Players will also enjoy an all-new Zombies experience, Shangri-La, an exotic and mysterious map filled with deadly traps, dark secrets and innovative gameplay that will challenge even the most daring Zombie hunters."

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Annihilation DLC will be out on Xbox LIVE first on 28 June, with Treyarch celebrating the release with a double XP weekend from 1-3 July. Pricing has not been confirmed, but we suspect it will be the usual 1200 MS Points.
