In-depth Rezurrection Info, Screens

Details and screens of the all-Zombie map pack for Black Ops.

Just after announcing the fourth map pack for Black Ops, lots of screenshots and details have been released.

The fourth and likely final map pack for the game is called "Rezurrection" and will be released on Xbox LIVE Tuesday, 23rd August. Due to the exclusivity deal with Microsoft and Activision that has existed for over a year, the map pack will release on Playstation 3 and PC in September.

Unlike previous map packs, Rezurrection will only come packed with Zombie content. The big masterpiece is the Moon level, although it is included with the four Zombie maps from World at War: Nacht der Untoten, Verruckt, Shi No Numa and Der Riese, all which have been re-mastered to suit Black Ops, including improved visuals and different weapons.

While the map pack will cost 1200 Microsoft Points, those who purchased the Hardened and Prestige Edition of Black Ops and redeemed the classic maps will be delighted to know that they get it for the expensive cost of: FREE! Not just the classic maps, but the whole pack as a special thank you from Activision and Treyarch. More information on how this works will be revealed closer to the release, but it will involve re-downloading the classic map pack via Download History.

The pack won't just include new and old maps, though. It will also come with a special Moon Xbox 360 Dashboard theme along with the official Zombies 20-song soundtrack which features three new tracks.

Activision's OneofSwords » received the ultimate opportunity to ask Treyarch's Jimmy Zelinski, creative lead for Zombies, a few questions about the new downloadable content for Black Ops. So let's dive in!

Of course one of the more interesting things about Zombies is the backstory and the secret Easter Eggs. According to Zelinski, this is the perfect time to re-explore the older maps to see if there are any further clues, specifically Der Riese. He then goes on to mention how how Moon will offer "clues to the past and other story elements," but that we shouldn't be "surprised to discover a few hints to what may be coming in the future."

When asked about what the Quantum Entanglement Device does, he stated that the answer can be found in the research of Einstein, Kaluza, Plancke and Klein. However, he then states that this suggests the possibilities are limitless and players should throw it out in the game and "see what it will do FOR YOU."

When asked whether there will be any new weapons or gameplay, Zelinski replied with "this game mode is all about discovery." He then expands on that by saying "whether our characters discover new weapons in the various places they visit is dependent on where they go." He also talks about the gameplay mechanics in the same way and how "location dictates how you play."

While one might think that the name of the map pack is spelt with a 'Z' instead of an 'S' to make it look fancy, Zelinski mentioned how you never know where hints and Easter Eggs may appear, before stating that it may be "a hidden truth behind everything."

Although the pack has only just been announced and looks increasingly likely to be the last one for Black Ops, many will already be speculating what the future of Zombies holds. When pressed on this, Zelinski didn't answer, although a Treyarch employee claimed that he stormed off to get a breath of fresh air...

Yeah, i for one will not be buying these. the last two map packs sucked dick.

Nice i get it for free!!!! I have the Prestige Edition!!
