Black Ops - First Strike Map Pack

The first map pack for Black Ops is due out February 1st for the Xbox 360 for 1,200 Microsoft points. The 5 new maps are:

• Kowloon - Has the same look and feel of the mission during the single player campaign that takes place in Kowloon City, China. It features a zip line which enables you to traverse the map quickly. If there is a good line of sight on it, my guess is no one will use it. Only time will tell.
• Discovery - Is a Antarctic German research station abandoned after WW2. It features a deep chasm in the middle and a ice bridge that can be destroyed with explosives. It is a play on the actual New Swabia.
• Berlin Wall - This recreates the historical Checkpoint Charlie and the ability to see both East and West Berlin. It is labeled as a "large map" for snipers. That being said I hope that is the case because there are not enough maps in Black Ops for snipers to be used effectively. There is a vacant space in the middle of the map that is covered by sentry guns. If you make it across alive you will on the other side of the map faster then going around it.
• Stadium - Takes place around a hockey stadium, its a nod to the Cold War era '80 Olympic Hockey game USA vs. Russia.
• Ascension - This one is strictly for the Zombie lovers out there, though there were not many details given about it.
