The third Call of Duty: World at War map pack has officially been dated and is set to be released this Thursday, August 6. Three new multiplayer maps and a new Nazi Zombie map are set to hit Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network on Thursday, running you 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 on the PSN. With over 4 million copies sold combined between the first two map packs, there’s no doubt that Map Pack 3 will be just as successful. And there’s bound to be another double XP weekend with the release of the new DLC, so it looks like another weekend packed full of World at War goodness. Yay!

If you are any of the millions and millions of CoD: World at War fans who purchased Map Packs 1 and 2, I know you’re most definetly excited for Map Pack 3 coming out sometime in August. Well, here’s a new trailer for Map Pack 3,  showing off the new Nazi Zombies map called “Der Reise”. This could be the best Nazi Zombie map thus far. Let’s hope so. Now watch the video!

With the third map pack just announced yesterday, Treyarch and Activision have let the numbers out on how the two previous World at War DLC map packs have sold.

According to Activision, the map packs have sold over 4 million copies over Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. Wow, that’s a whole lot of cash money just on DLC maps. We can only guess that Map Pack 3 will boost these numbers and most likely sell a few million more copies.

Infinity Ward needs to learn from what Treyarch has done with World at War and make sure they offer plenty of DLC with Modern Warfare 2 because it’s sure to sell just as much, if not more.

Yessir! Even with Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 coming out in a matter of months, looks like Treyarch isn’t giving up on World at War anytime soon. It seems like Map Pack 2 just came out yesterday and we’re already hearing that Map Pack 3 is in the works and is set to be released sometime in August (I’m sure with another double XP weekend!)

Map Pack 3 will feature three new multiplayer maps, “Battery”, “Revolution” and “Breach”. There will also be a new Nazi Zombies map called “Der Reise” which translates as The Journey, or The Voyage.

I’m pumped that Treyarch is still working hard at World at War DLC as it gives Call of Duty fans something new and fresh to play until November and the release of MW2.

Map Pack 2 will include three new maps: Banzai, Corrosion, and Sub Pens, along with a new zombie map, Shi No Numa. I’m a huge fan of World at War, so you can bet your ass I’ll be getting the map pack as soon as its available.

GameSpy recently hooked up with Treyarch and got an exclusive first look at the new Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2. The new map pack will be comprised of three new maps: Banzai, Corrosion, and Sub Pens.

Map Pack 1 was a first hit with fans of World at War, buying more than a million copies in the first week alone. No wonder Treyarch was so quick to start on a second map pack. Hit the jump for a few videos of the upcoming Map Pack 2. Read more…

Call of Duty isn’t going to stop any time soon. There’s been a new entry in the franchise released every year since 2005 and the last two are still fighting for the top spot on Xbox Live. Modern Warfare 2, the sixth installment, is set to hit later this year. So it comes as no surprise that Treyarch is already thinking about the seventh installment and where it should take place.

We’ve all known since last month that Call of Duty: World at War would be getting a new map pack,but we just weren’t sure when. Well according to Gamespot, the new DLC will be available on March 19, just one week away. As you might recall, the map pack will come with three new multiplayer maps, Nightfire, Knee Deep and Station, along with one map for the zombie mode called Zombie Verruckt. We still haven’t heard of a price, but I’d put my bets on around $10.

Who’s excited about the new map pack coming out for Call of Duty: World at War this month? I know for a fact that I am.

Check out this video of Dan Bunting, Senior Producer of COD: World at War, telling us about the four new maps included in the first map pack for the famous shooter. There are three normal multiplayer maps (Station, Nightfire and Knee Deep) and one map for the co-op zombie mode (Verrückt).

The maps will be released for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions of WaW. No word on an exact release date or how much the map pack will cost, but expect an announcement real soon.

Hot off the release of the new daytime “Makin” map, Treyarch is awarding players again with another double experience points weekend for Call of Duty: World at War. The double XP weekend starts tomorrow Friday, March 6 and will run until March 8. The double XP weekend applies to the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii versions of WaW.

Looks like another World at War filled weekend for me, which means I gotta put away Killzone 2 and Street Fighter IV, but just for the weekend. If you’re gonna be playing World at War over Xbox Live, hit me up and we’ll play. My XBL tag is Wakash. Holla at me homies.

Activision has confirmed Treyarch is working hard at Call of Duty 5 for 2008, and once again is taking a step back and opening the once thought closed doors to World War 2.

Ever since the release of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty 4, fans have been craving nothing but “Modern Warfare” in all it’s glory. Unfortunately, for all the Call of Duty 4 lovers out there, you are going to have to wait for COD 6 before being able to return to the modern style of combat you have grown to love.

The only advice I could give to you as a fellow gamer is just keep on wishin’ for the best — and with that, here is my COD 5 wish list. Read more…
