Activision have let loose the first round of DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops, dubbed "First Strike"; exclusive to Xbox Live for the foreseeable future and features five new maps: four multiplayer and one zombies.
"Our fans mean everything to us," said Mark Lamia, Studio Head, Treyarch, via press release. "So we are thrilled to be able to provide the Black Ops community with exciting new gameplay that will extend their multiplayer and Zombies experiences. The team has given it their all, as we crafted the maps in “First Strike” while taking into account our community to make sure that this content delivers compelling and unique experiences that will appeal to all different play styles.”
It's certainly a step up from the Infinity Ward DLC, which often rehashed CoD 4 maps for Modern Warfare 2 with a hefty price-point. "First Strike" is now available and will set you back 1200 MS points (roughly AU$19).

Anyway my favourites in order:
Discovery. Such an awesome map for sneaking over and under and around people. Full stealth mode for me here.
Next is Stadium. You gotta be quick cause s*** goes off! Full speed ahead with Lightweight, Slight of hand and Marathon.
Berlin Wall - It looks fairly sizey on the outset but there are these common paths that players take due danger zones equipped with auto turrets, so it's a good map for all sorts of combat, whether you're sniping, camping, run and gunning.
Kowloon- I love the gritty look and feel of this map, especially with the massive plane flying so close overhead at the start, but other than how it looks it's damn hard to play with all the lil twists, turns and multiple vantage points you can get fugged up by.
Haven't tried the Zombie map yet but i'll do so later today.

Stadium is like nuketown, but worse, and not fun, and full of campers
Berlin Wall isn't bad. Isn't great.
I still prefer the original maps - I guess these will grow on me a bit, but meh. $17 or $18 whatever it was is pretty rubbish for 4 multiplayer maps.

So it's comes to around $4 each.
Also considering you can't exactly buy 1200 MS points, you're be forced to buy 1000 + 500 points, so in reality you're paying an extra 300 points if you're only interested in paying for those maps.
Damn M$.

Double XP baby. Hoping to hit prestige 5 by the end of it.

I'm only 3rd prestige and I thought I played a lot :S

With some kills here and there you could easily land over 10k in xp in each match. Yummy.
