Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 will include:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Banzai<\/p>\n
Deep in the jungles of Japanese controlled territory, players will battle to control the tall river bridge in \u201cBanzai,\u201d a bright, medium-sized jungle map featuring a stunning waterfall, villages and hidden caves well suited for deadly snipers, surprise attacks and all out gun battles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Corrosion<\/p>\n
In \u201cCorrosion,\u201d players will face down the enemy in a deteriorated Russian train yard.\u00a0 Shattered pipelines and war torn train cars decorate this mid-sized map and are great for full-out team combat.\u00a0 Beware, because the enemy could be anywhere!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sub Pens<\/p>\n
\u201cSub Pens\u201d drops players into a close-quarter abandoned Japanese submarine base that\u2019s littered with live ammunition, breached subs and idle fighter planes.\u00a0 Monsoon rains will be a factor as teams struggle to control key choke points in this tight map designed for exciting and deadly battles.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shi No Numa (Zombie Swamp)<\/p>\n
In this addition to the four-player co-op favourite, the un-ending Zombie horde requires players to keep moving, moving, moving!\u00a0 Imperial Zombies rise from the misty swamps and flaming Hell Hounds blaze through the jungle as players struggle to stick together. The situation is bleak, but there is help on the way: new traps to keep the undead out (the deadly Flogger), a zip line for quick escapes, and best of all, a new weapon: The Wunderwaffe DG-2. The DG-2, aka “The Lightning Gun” is the pinnacle of secret Nazi technology. Packed with 200,000 amperes of devastating chained electrical current, The Wunderwaffe DG-2 should help even the score and enable players to capture the 10 new Xbox 360 Achievements\/PS3 Trophies waiting for them inside the deadly swamp.<\/p>\n
