    The inclusion of four new multiplayer maps and a zombie map frankly don't do anything for the game that weren't done when you first opened the box last November, but that's not a bad thing. If you're avid about Call of Duty: Black Ops, there's nothing to complain about, even at roughly three bucks a map. If you've already put away the game in favor of other engagements, don't expect this DLC offering to suck you back in for very long. If you remain fully engaged, the Escalation content will only enhance the game.

    Escalation's maps are great additions to the main game, however the $15 price tag is still at least $5 too high.

    Best multiplayer maps to date but Call Of The Dead is a huge missed opportunity. [Issue#206, p.98]

    It's the best game for playing when I have time. I can play for 20 minutes, or half a day, either way the multiplayer is always fun.It's the best game for playing when I have time.

    I really like the new maps. The only reason I am giving this low of a score is because it's not quite worth $15 for only 4 mp maps. I alsoI really like the new maps.

Out of Convoy, Stockpile, Hotel, and Zoo, I thought Hotel was the best. Hotel was rather addicting and is lots of fun. Convoy is possibly the second best, but only by a little bit. The rest of the maps were a disappointment, and I rarely ever play them. If I were you, I would buy this only for Convoy and Hotel. I would also think very intently whether or not it is worth it or not.… Expand
