Xbox Gaming in South Africa

The release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops' first downloadable map pack, First Strike, is fast approaching, so to give us a first sneak peak at what's in store for players, Treyarch has put together a detailed preview of the four multiplayer maps: Kowloon, Discovery, Berlin Wall and Stadium, revealing zip lines, automated turrets, collapsing snow bridges, and more.

Treyarch has so far been tight lipped about the fifth map, Ascension, only saying that it's a Zombie map that takes place in a Soviet launch facility.

The First Strike DLC is set to arrive as a timed exclusive on Xbox LIVE on 1 February for 1200 MSP.
