Following up on the earlier report that zombies will be coming back to the Call of Duty franchise's multiplayer, Activision has now announced new maps will be arriving in March.
Call of Duty: World At War Map Pack 1 will feature four maps, including the aforementioned undead assault area. In addition, there will be a map centered around the streets of Berlin, a jungle map and a subway system. No pricing has been announced at this time.
Hit the jump to read the brief press release Activision sent out today. What with the zombie level, this will no doubt sell pretty well. How many of you are planning to pick it up?
Santa Monica, CA – February 10, 2009 – New conflicts are on the horizon for one of the most intense online multiplayer games of 2008, as Activision Publishing, Inc.

Also, more Nazi Zombies levels = buy.
I don't see anything. Maybe it's just you?
How does this game get more maps and L4D doesn't though? That's what I;m wondering.
