Awakening will have 3 new multiplayer maps, a re-imagining of a map from the previous game and the next chapter in the always entertaining and practically impossible Call of Duty Zombies.
The 3 new maps in Awakening are Gauntlet, Splash and Rise. The first map Gauntlet, is set in a military training environment with 3 lanes, a snowy lane,a jungle lane and an urban lane. The second map, Splash, is set in an abandoned water theme park, it will include using defunct water slide to move around and underwater combat. The last of the new maps is Rise, set in a construction facility, this map promises to harken back to the classic Call of Duty maps.
The fourth multiplayer map included in the Awakening DLC is a re-imagining of the Call of Duty: Black Ops II map Hyjacked, renamed Skyjacked. Along with a visual improvement on the latest generation of console Skyjacked will feature new options in terms of movement and mechanics, for players to take advantage of and get the jump on the competition.
