User blog:Deathmanstratos/Black Ops II Apocalypse DLC announced

Today, Treyarch has announced the Apocalypse DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It will include four multiplayer maps and a new Zombies map featuring the four original characters set during World War I.

Pod: Nestled into an abandoned cliff side, players fight among the remnants of a failed utopian community from the 70's.

Takeoff: Fans of 'Stadium' will find themselves right at home on this rocket launch site in the middle of the pacific ocean.

Frost: A snow capped European city where intense battle wage over a frozen canal.

Dig: The fan-favorite 'Courtyard' is re-imagined as an Afghani archaeological dig site.

Origins: Deployed to Dieselpunk-stylized World War I-era France, you will encounter the return of the four original heroes from the very first Zombies map – Tank, Nikolai, Takeo, and Rictofen – as well as hordes of zombies that have overrun trenches and fields, as well as the ruins of a mysterious and ancient location.

Unleashed after the Germans unearthed the mysterious “Element 115,” this next chapter in the Zombies legacy will explore the saga’s origins as players reunite with an unlikely band of soldiers that come together to defeat the greatest evil the world has ever seen, using a period-specific arsenal that includes Wonder Weapons that harness supernatural powers, a diesel-drone and Mark IV tank, as well a new perk machine and power-ups – and that’s just the start. You’ll need all the help they can get to succeed in defeating the undead, as well as evading an unprecedented 1,000-foot tall robot abomination.

Apocalypse will arrive on Xbox 360 on August 27th.
