This new DLC contains four new multiplayer maps, called Studio, Magma, Vertigo, and Encore. In addition, there is a brand new Zombie map set on Alcatraz. This map is called Mob Of The Dead.

One of my favorite maps in this new DLC pack, Studio, is based on the Black Ops 1 map Firing Range. The difference that's been added is that you are now on a Hollywood Studio set. Around the area are sets for Alien, Dinosaur, Medievil and Pirates movies. The map follows the layout of Firing Range perfectly, so you should already be able to rack up the kills.
Magma is set in a modern japanese village where a volcano has erupted. Whilst this map offers a nice mix of long and close range tactics, it also has enviromental hazards including lava and fire around the map.
In Vertigo, you are at the top of a skyscraper owned by the company that made the drones from the compaign. Expect alot of corners and camping spots, and keep an eye on the areas where you may very well fall to your death- your on top of a skyscraper remember?
The last map, Encore, is set in London, in an outdoor music festival. Whilst this map has some perfect oppotunities for snipers, those who prefer an up-close approach like me will appreciate the area underneath the stage, as well as having some fairly interesting encounters in the stands.

Mob Of The Dead, as talked about in Natalies post regarding Mob Of The Dead,
This map is set in Alcatraz, and sets you many challenges whilst you escape your fate. Everyone knows what zombies is about. Get kills, open doors, use the box, and surivive. But what if you can escape Alcatraz? Well in this map you can indeed build a plane, and escape Alcatraz island, and I'd really recommend you do so. Because escaping isnt the end. Whilst I give no spoilers, I will say that it could be worth your while going through the story to build the plane, just make sure when you leave, you take a fair amount of points with you...i think 5000 should suffice..?
I am very impressed with this DLC, and not just for the maps. Originally i was a little dissapointed by the fact they havent released as much as Revolution such as a new gun and mode. But what they have done is given a new Zombie map so in depth and so enjoyable, and they really have listened to fans when designing the new maps. Well worth the download.
