PS3 getting 'First Strike' for Black Ops in March photo

The "First Strike" add-on for Call of Duty: Black Ops won't be exclusive to Xbox 360 much longer. The window is closing, and Activision has come out with a date for the PlayStation Network release: March 3.

Four multiplayer maps and a new zombie level for $15 is what the pack entails, for those not aware. Either you're in, or you are most certainly out. As for the PC version, look for Treyarch to release that "later in the quarter"; an actual date will be revealed soon.

Considering "First Strike" did 1.4 million downloads in its first 24 hours on Xbox LIVE, statistically, a good portion of you guys reading this right now are hell of pumped for this content.

I want to get this (because I like Treyarch, and there are two maps that look tons of fun in this pack), but by the time I get this, nobody's playing CoD anymore because the entire PS3 fanbase hates it.

So this is kinda useless to me now, not because I hate CoD (I think Black Ops is the best CoD, second only to Big Red One), but because everyone else will be playing Killzone or something.

Sucks. I really like those maps.

Treyarch and Activision can go fuck themselves. I'm not interested anymore.

I play the Wii version of this, (go ahead, laugh), but I still thinks it's unfair to exclude us Wii owners. :( I don't know how many of us would pay $15 for this, but I know I would've. :/ I will continue to play the game, but the lack of this and a lot of cut out things they could've put as free DLC, (Hell, I would've even payed for it), really feels like a slap to the face.

"The entire PS3 fanbase hates this?"

You're insane. You might see a decrease with the release of Killzone 3, but IMO KZ3's multiplayer isn't as addictive as CoD's. I play Black Ops only a little more than I do KZ3. Probably because Blops supports splitscreen.

@ Daxelman:

Nearly 800,000 people were playing on the PS3 during the Double XP, and on average I see around 500,000 people playing. I don't think it's going to shrink significantly before March 3.

Won't many of us have moved on to Killzone 3 or Homefront by then? Seems that delaying the release in order for the Xbox to have an exclusive might well backfire on them at bit...

Killzones MP will be ho hum after the rabid fanbase figures out that Black Ops is still more fun. KZ's Singleplayer looks fun to me thats about it.

@Goatfather: I mean people that I actually want to play with, not those who spend their time on the mic spamming shitty mainstream rap and commenting on others having little dicks.

Although the little dicks thing can be funny....

idk if anyone said this yet but this crap should be "freee" on the psn... why? besides the complete fail on sony's end for doing nothing but fail-o-ing more more.. how does a game not get full ps3 support?? in a time were sony needs to be on their A game they haven't shown much respect to their die hard fans of the system (not that i'm one.)

first they let this crap of black ops for ps3 get passed the checks for top notch games and then they let this ps3 hacking shit go down. I understand psn is free to a sorten level and that to play xboxlive (aka with other online people) you need pay, but god damn sony.. you have much more then what your showing and i fear that due to this lack of effort on your end im just gonna go off on a hunch saying you guys aren't doing too well now days :\ Sure you psp2! coming... surre.. *cough* Nintendo's gonna kill u sells wise *cough cough*. i mean their systems underpriced and limited store wise, you guys are gonna likely overload on psp2's just like yah did with the psp go or whatever the fuk that thing wass.. i sorta lost myself here what was i talking about? oh yeahh i think Treyarch was payed secretly to half ass the ps3 copy orrr sony is lacking effort wise like i said before. Blhaa

So, D Adam, you think the Xbox is hack free?

I'm kinda with Arthur on this one, KZ3 just doesn't seem to have that lasting appeal. Unless of course we get a new co-op mode.

Fuck Activision. Fuck CoD. Fuck $15 DLC. I'm trading my copy in for Killzone 3 and I advise anyone with a PS3 to do the same.

Aw, and I was hoping they'd call it "Second Strike" for the PS3.

I remember when I was an Xbox only kid, always thinking "assholes".

Now it's the other way around. :D

Daxelman, over 500,000 people spam rap songs over their mics on the ps3? Damn, now I totally get why ps3 owners are making a fuss.

@sanious that many ppl have been spamming music on their mics on LIVE as well. Honestly, I have noticed this a lot more. They are either singing, making loud annoying noises or playing loud ass music on both consoles. Especially Black Ops. You can't play 1 game without kids with high-pitched voice yelling nonsense into their mic. I just mute everybody I don't know because there not using teamwork anyway lol

@jayson619 trust me, the 360 version might be superior. But that's like saying you live on the side of the shit without corn. Also, that killzone 3 beta is not that great. it plays slightly better than KZ2, but KZ is just not that great. Great graphics, solid gameplay. I think ppl are just going to KZ3 because they hate Black Ops.

I'll be picking this up for sure, even after killzone comes out I still think I'll be playing blops more. I've played the beta some, even after the control tweaks, which did help, it's still slow for my tastes. I like the fast frantic pace and I don't get that from killzone.

I have almost completely stopped playing BO. Largely due to college and work, but anytime I have gaming time I spend it with another game. Black Ops connection issues caused my clan to be put on temporary suspension so, not on the BO liking wagon right now.

An overpriced dlc for an overrated game. It probably has the worst maps to date. Lame sounds. I can't believe I bought the hardened edition for it.

KZ3 has a good balance on it. Idk why people treats CoD like the god of fps when it clearly sucks.

There was a time when developers gives us more maps for fan service. I understand that it cost money too. But didn't they already made a gazillion out of it.? Yet they still overcharge us for something that they could give us for free and give back to the community that supports them. they're just as worst as capcom. They don't deliver fan service. I'm really sad the way of gaming that we now have today.

Oh shit! Homefront is coming soon! I'm really hopeful about that one.

So yeah,. I'll have personally migrated far away from Black Ops by the time this hits, what with Killzone 3 and Homefront...

With the PC release being so late I am going to assume it is going to be to the tune of gratis rather than 14.99.

Of course even if it was not late I still would not expect to pay for it. Pay DLC multiplayer additions that are not expansion packs on any platform are one of the many banes of modern gaming. And that is not hyperbole as it is cash grabs like this that screw up online communities.

I'm quite partial. Black Ops has splitscreen.

KZ3, does not. Well, besides the campaign, but I'm waiting on the demo to see if I'd be willing to pay $60. Seriously though, a horde type mode would remove all hesitation.
