The Treyarch map pack factory is preparing to pump out more fine additions to your Call of Duty: World at War map pack collection. And just so you don’t fall behind the 8-ball I’ll fill you in on the details.

Screens of the upcoming Map Pack 3 are making the rounds. Due out next month they’ll include three more multiplayer maps as well as another zombie co-op map (yessssss!!!). As with the previous map packs they are releasing screen shots of the multiplayer maps but being a little more hush hush with zombie map details. If the pricing pattern from previous map packs holds true Map Pack 3 will probably set you back 800 Microsoft Points.

Here’s the breakdown of the new maps as explained by Treyarch:

“Fight for ocean territory in “Battery,” an armored island surrounded by anti-ship mines and shore to ship cannons. Watch out for sniper fire as you defend Russia’s most coveted resource in “Revolution,” and keep a sharp eye out through the dense, overcast city streets in “Breach,” set at Berlin’s historic Brandenburg Gate. Zombies return in all their undead glory with “Der Riese” (Zombie Factory), a Nazi research facility featuring the weapon upgrading Pack A Punch Machine. Use the teleporters to escape in an instant and fight to the death in pursuit of the map’s 10 new Achievements/Trophies.”

Teleporters in the new zombie map = awesome.

Here’s the list of new Achievements/Trophies for you gamerscore whore:

40 Knives!:
Kill 40 zombies with the bowie knife.

Acquire Waffle Weapons!:
Obtain the Ray Gun, DG-2, and the Monkey Bomb at the same time in a game.

Der electrican!:
Link all teleport pads before round 7.

Frequent Flyer!:
Use the teleporter 8 times.

Locksmith!:
Open all doors in the map.

The Might of the monkey!:

Perkaholics Anonymous!:

Pack Addict!:
Upgrade 5 weapons at the Pack A Punch Machine.

Wacker Packer!:
Upgrade any weapon in Pack A Punch.

Elevate Your Senses!:

Call of Duty: World at War

Here’s an update to the Call of Duty:World at War story I brought to you a couple of weeks ago.

The new Map Pack 2 will be releasing tomorrow June 11th. Setting you back 800 Microsoft Points (around $10.00) or $9.99 on the Playstation Network. With the map pack you’ll get three new multiplayer maps including Banzai, Sub Pens and Corrosion. For more details on the maps you can check out this posting from a couple of weeks ago. If you think you are feeling lucky you can skip paying cash for the maps  and take a stab at snagging some codes from community manager Josh Olin. He will be giving away redeemable codes on his Twitter.

Along with the three new multiplayer maps you’ll also get the highly anticipated Shi No Numa co-op Zombie map. Up until a couple of days ago not a whole lot of info was released about the new map, which will give you a break from the usual Nazi Zombie slaughtering and finally let you take a crack at some Japanese undead instead.

UPDATE: For release date info and a trailer of the new Shi No Numa zombie map check out this post.

New details are spilling onto the web about the upcoming release of the new Map Pack 2 DLC coming out next month (still no official release date from Treyarch) for Call of Duty: World at War. Callofduty.com posted new gameplay videos and overhead map layouts for you strategy hounds to break down.

Along with the new multiplayer maps we will also be getting the new zombie co-op map “Shi No Numa”. Where you will get the chance to shoot an annoying fat kid sitting at his computer lip syncing to a catchy foreign tune. (Editor’s Note: That was a sad attempt at a cheesy joke, I apologize) Alright enough with the silliness. The new co-op map will actually be the first time we will be able to hunt down unlimited waves of Japanese undead. Looks like Treyarch is giving the Germans a break.

Check out the map layouts after the jump…

Before Modern Warfare 2 even sees the light of day, Treyarch is hard at work on Call of Duty 7. According to the Linkedin profile of David Kim the senior animator, Treyarch is already developing the next, next installment in the franchise. This isn’t exactly earth shattering news, after all this has been par for the course with Activision / Treyarch.

We already reported to you that the seventh baby from the Call of Duty mama may have a Vietnam theme to it. So I’m anxious to see what they are up to. What do you guys think of that decision? Do you  want another WWII title or do you like the new direction they may be taking?

The second map pack to be released for the game will aptly be named…wait for it…the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2. Hopefully they are working harder on the maps than they are that title.

The DLC will include three new multiplayer maps. “Bonzai,” which is set in a plush jungle setting riddled with hidden caves; “Sub Pen,” which will be set at a submarine base; and “Corrosion,”  which will put you in the middle of a Russian train yard.

And last but certainly not least, there will also be an additional co-op Nazi Zombie map! Called “Shi No Numa,” the new map will feature a new weapon, new Achievements / Trophies and new Perks. Oh yea did I mention flaming Hell Hounds? ‘Cause we’ll be getting some of those too.

UPDATE: Some new images were posted at callofduty.com that you might find useful if you are big into strategizing. Overhead layouts of all three new maps. That combined with the gameplay videos they have also posted should be a big help in helping you and your teammates getting the upper hand. You can check out the overhead layouts here.
