It's official. Call of Duty: Black Ops is indeed getting a third DLC map pack entitled 'Annihilation' and it will bundle four new multiplayer maps and a fresh, meaty zombies map to tackle. Activision has just formally announced the add-on,revealing that the new zombies map is called 'Shangri-La' and will feature traps and other secrets in an exotic setting.

“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.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops Annihilation Map Pack will launch on June 28th for 1200 Microsoft Points and to celebrate, Treyarch will be hosting a double XP weekend to coincide with the third DLC's release. The double XP weekend will commence on Friday, July 1st and presumably finish on the Sunday.

Check out six new screens from the Black Ops Annihilation Map Pack in the gallery, and take a look at the trailer for the DLC below, which offers some interesting insights into the upcoming map pack.

  • It's free right? *ribs*
  • The zombie maps looks cool but crazy to survive in. I am afraid of what achievements will come with it.
  • The new Easter eggs revolving the Area 51-eqsue map has really interested me. Love a it of Call of Duty, especially after trying the 1000g on Brink. ^_^
  • Heres hoping some easier zombie achievements & no George Romero like character !
  • Let the hate ensue.
  • best zombie map ever
  • Well, this is probably the last thing I'll buy from Treyarch; unless they make something other than COD. :) I think Call of the Dead plays better than Shangri La if what he says is true, cause it's not fun to get overrun in CQC.
  • Zombie map looks kinda stupid... they always try so hard to make their maps look "Sick". When really thats just what the maps make you...
  • Yes hopefully no Boss character in this one, and hopefully 200g of achievements.
  • The maps look cool... I didn't really like the look of Hangar 18.
  • can't wait for these maps
  • I know jokes get flung and it's all in good fun really but I just can't get into the map packs for COD and I learned this on the first set. I despised Chinatown and hated Hangar I think it was. The really small one in the garage was great for private games otherwise, it was NOTHING but a noobtube/grenade fest. And the last one which was huge was great for "Jason" games. That aside, I'm sorry, it just doesn't match the price point that other games have. Reach is probably my favorite for map packs b/c Maps are incorporated for certain playlists so you're getting variety in more than one area. It's just preference on being worht the price. If you're someone who plays online at least every day or most of the week, then it's worth it for you. That's what it really breaks down to - the time you put in for the price.
  • Looked like some sort of weird werewolf in the trailer for zombies! And on a side note..the zombie guy Jimmy seemed nice..I'd like to play Zombies with him ALLLLL day..
  • they're just too greedy @ 1200msp. hell halo is way more popular & they're maps are only 800msp.
  • barf.....MOAR COD JUNK!
  • I wonder if there will ever come a day when you can just buy the zombie map pack by itself for 400 MSP.
  • I hate to say that this looks cool, because everyone will hate me for it. Ah, what the heck. This looks pretty cool. If I wasn't so busy playing Section 8 and Halo games then I'd get this right away.
  • @4 & 9 George offered a change in the CotD map and he wasn't overpowered, he just had alot of life. It's not like he could stun you for 3-5 seconds and completely screw you over or down you in one hit. If you knew what you were doing he was easy to kill anyway and he actually made it easier in that you could get all 7 perks from him. I just hope this is not another "Five" level, that level was the worst out of all the maps, due to having no room to move about in and getting severally screwed over.
  • @14 fail...800msp for 3 maps is worst then 5 maps for 1200msp. I'm super excited for zombies gonna have a blast with my friends
  • These are MW3 maps right?
  • No Romero = FUCK YAH!!!
  • BADASS!!!!
  • Did I see a zombie monkey that steal power ups 2:18 to 2:21
  • My jaw dropped when I seen the zombie map on the dash. Looks pretty kickass
  • Please no achievements. I had to buy the first 2 dlc's because i'm an achievement hunter, and I didn't even touch the multiplayer I hate it. It's so slow.
  • @14 - Not only do the Reach maps come out to be more expensive, but they are terrible to boot.
  • @14 I'm sorry but Halo is not more popular among FPS fans.
  • So stupid. It's leaked, so OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO CONFIRM IT!
  • My fingers are crossed for NO new achievements.
  • Treyarch knows adding achievements will make acheivement hunters buy the DLC. Probably due to the first WAW map pack being the lowest selling.
  • Let me get this right 4 multiplayer maps, 1 new, 1 nuketown 2.0, 1 mw2 rehash and 1 W@W remake. and a new zombie map all for the great price of un-announced. so 1200. id rather get San Andreas or Halo 1 for that.
  • BK SNIPER RUSHER IN SECOND SCREENSHOT. LMAO SIT DOWN.
  • is it so wrong to just like playing the game for fun? this map pack looks like it will deliver some good times. yeah, i will probably die, alot. but im fine with that.
  • Look at 0:35, Valkyrie to the HEAD and he got splash damage!!?? Yes you can tell it was an enemy rocket because he FLINCHED. HAHAHAHA! "Hey, have a rocket in your face." "Lolwut, gonna have to do better than that to get a kill on Black Ops!" WTF, this game is so broken. What a joke. Worst hit detection in the series by FAR.
  • Do we really get to fight on a golf course? Awesome!!!!! I just hope they don't block it off like with the "stadium" map. I'm still mad that I don't get to find on an ice rink. That would have been amazing.
  • lol, look at all the Black Ops fanboys disliking everything that people say against the game. Hey fanboys... Black Ops sucks. Modern Warfare 2 is better. OMG DISLIKE >:(
  • Be sure to check back for your daily Black Ops map pack.
  • The zombie map looks awesome, as do the multiplayer maps. I still have to get the other map packs before buying this though.
  • Great looking maps zombies looks crazy cant wait
  • @37 lol it is what it is becomming, a huge money game for activision. As usual they'll just scrap a few shitty maps together in a few days and make a ton on them. same old, same old.
  • Unfortunately, Shangri-La looks great, so I'm going to have to mark this on my calendar. Goodbye, hard-earned money.
  • drive-in looks cool but i wish they would do a weapon pack it's easy for them and instant cash too win-win situation and we get new weapons i don't understand why they won't i'm sick of all the weapons already
  • too bad hangar 18 is at the wright patterson airforce base in ohio, geeze treyarch get your facts straight
  • i hope the achievements are way better for the zombies.all the black ops zombie achievements have been weak.
  • Another COD map pack? But this one is the 3rd one in about 6 moths... I'll pass.
  • There better be achievements for the new zombie map. They motivate me to try new things!
  • Just realized that on Brink, on the map Refuel, it has a sign in glowing lights saying 'Hangar 18' Maybe a reference to something? Or just coincidence?
  • Why can't Treyarch release the DLC's for the Caribbean? I live there and it's just annoying that I can't play the new maps, however there was no problem with Modern Warfare 2 DLCs. I'm just hating Treyarch for that. If you're doing something, let everyone know it and play it.
  • i may get this 4 zombies only but im not sure
  • Fix hit markers before you take our money please -____-;
  • *Valkyrie missle flying* *Pilot of missle sees enemy* *Missle hits enemy* *Enemy flinches* What the hell? Seriously, fix your damn game before you go out looking for more money. I'm surprised they haven't added a clown sign in one of the maps so Bowling can make another video regarding stealth clowns.
  • Zombies were cool once, now its all ''solve this puzzle'' instead of just ''dont fucking die''
  • @52 I completely agree.
  • @51 most players have tht problem bcuz their connection to the server is really weak. I knw this bcuz ive been the 1 firing the missle and the 1 receiving it. and they patch the game every couple of weeks or so. at least when theres a new DLC the last 2 times there was an update that came with it. not sure wat it fixed but had 2 b more than just uploading the maps
  • The zombie map looks great!! Can't wait to play it.. And no one cares about multiplayer much anymore. So why can't they just make a zombie map pack that comes with 4 new zombie maps??!! They would be epic!!
  • *typo* meant "that" not "they"
  • Hooray, ANOTHER FUCKING SNOW MAP.
  • These Map packs coming out super fast i love it. Keep it coming i say. 1200msp for 5 maps is cheap. Stop crying thats its to much points.
  • I've bought the other dlcs but I won't be buying this one. Overall I'm pretty disappointed with Black Ops. Modern Warfare and MW2 are far better.
  • Well im glad getting more maps,price doesn't bother me that much,i paid the same amount for Limbo,beat that in bout 4hrs,not played since,i'll get a lot more hrs out of this.And another double xp weekend!that will save me money cz i would of gone out drinkin n spent bout £100 anyway,thats how i look at it.
  • Why on earth did they feel the need to touch up these screen shots? everyone knows what black ops looks like and we all know its not as good graphically as these shots. waste of time. A good price for a map pack is the homefront one. 240 points for 2 maps so for 1200 points you would get like 9 maps!
  • Fail?
  • vagina boob
  • for all you retards out there that are complaining about the Valkyrie missle missing, look very close and you will see that he has flakjacket on. incase you dont know what flakjacket is, go play the game and find OUT!!
  • Zombies has lost it's way from COD5, kino was great just as good as the last ones but after that they are that they are all about a story or some sort of Easter egg, I like having the music ones. But that is just my opinion others may be different to mine
  • @64 I think your in no position to call people retards
  • Zombies are for faggots lololol yeah thats right, roll on MW3 where hopefully there wont one single gay zombie in the whole damn game, FUCK ZOMBIES JUST IMPROVE THE FUCKING GAME
  • Probably wont get this bored of black ops and zombies now im not spending another tenner on this game
  • finally something else to do on black ops i need more achievements to do cause the others were sooo easy i wish it came out on the 22nd instead so i can get them on my birthday :D
  • Golf course map looks sweet
  • I'd like a seperate pack including all zombie maps bundled together. Not getting sucked into multiplayer...
  • More Zombies I hear!!!!!!! Canny wait, Hope I can get the last achievement before its out???
