Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 Surpasses One Million Downloads

Nazis. We hate these guys.

Gamers foolish enough to question Call of Duty:  World at War’s popularity should take note.   Over one million players rushed to download the recently released Map Pack 3 during its first weekend (August 6th-9th).  That brings the combined number of downloads for all three map packs to well over 6.5 million. 

“The support and enthusiasm from the Call of Duty: World at War online community is tremendous,” said Mark Lamia, studio head of Treyarch.  “The team is appreciative that so many players from around the world have continued to enjoy the game and all of the downloadable content that we have produced.”

In case you’re on the fence about spending the ten bucks (800 Microsoft Points) to play Map Pack 3, here’s what it contains:

Battery: An armored island surrounded by anti-ship mines and shore-to-ship cannons, Battery places soldiers on a mid-sized map based on Fort Drum (El Fraile Island) in the Philippines. Players will have plenty of areas to hide and a steady flow of close quarters combat!

Revolution: Revolution pits soldiers against each other in a large factory set in Russia's cold city streets. Keep your trigger finger primed, your gun loaded, and your head low through this sniper-friendly territory!

Breach: Overwhelm the enemy in Breach, set in Berlin's crowded city streets surrounding the historic Brandenburg Gate. Only the finest soldiers will survive in this fast-paced, dense battlefield!

Der Riese (Zombie Factory): The undead horde approaches! Fight for your life in Der Riese (translated: The Giant), an all-new Zombie map set in a secret Nazi research facility featuring the Pack A Punch Machine, a device capable of upgrading weapons at the touch of a button. Use the teleporters to escape the vicious Hell Hounds and pray that the powerful Wunderwaffe DG-2 will appear before it's too late. This map includes 10 new Xbox 360 Achievements/PS3 Trophies.

We reviewed this exciting DLC last week and think it adds depth to an already excellent game.  As for the Call of Duty haters, well, they're missing out on all the zombie slaughtering.
