Is it worth the 15 bucks?

If you like black ops and want more maps, yes.

The zombie map would be the only one I enjoyed after I picked up the maps and played the for a few weeks I sold the game. So it wasn't worth it to me but if you love the game then go on get you some.

The zombie map itself is large, bigger than Der Reise and the only way you can truly appreciate its scale is by taking the landers and looking at the map below you.

Kowloon is a fun map if you aren't playing against campers, although the same can be said of most maps in most games. The middle building with the two ziplines is a hot zone and the chances of death decrease in a general circle pattern from the building. There's a nice spot below the neon billboard for some sniping, and lots of little paths to use to sneak around and most places have around three entrances or ways to access it. Dark map with rubble and plenty of cover and back alleys to use.

Discovery is a nice map that will often devolve into desperate assaults. While it would seem that camping would be an issue with the great sniping lane down the middle of the map, people tend to avoid it unless an objective is placed there. Most players will go around the two sides or use the ice bridge below the metal bridge. The collapsing bridges are a nice feature and will catch you off guard at times. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen into the chasm because I was too busy shooting at enemies to notice the lack of ice below my feet. Tense objective fights.

Berlin Wall, what can I say besides the perfect domination map. Two flags are placed in front of each spawn of course, but the third is placed in a small path in the middle of the map. The flag is in the middle safe zone which is located in the middle of the 'no-man's-land' so there are only two safe ways to approach the flag. Sniper nests watch over the center and the autoturrets guard the sides, rubble protects prone players from enemy shooters from the far sides of the map. Its also very symmetrical, both sides have a road with a series of buildings on both sides of the road. One building on each side offers a shot down the middle safe path and two larger roads connect the two sides on the left and right. Death match is also a fun mode, but Domination is probably the best use for the map.

Stadium, sweet little, chaotic stadium. This is the Spas-12's honeymoon as its easy to close in close to opponents. Not too sniper friendly as the large monument in the middle blocks most distance shots. The high hedges create a small maze-like battleground on the bottom side of the map while the stadium dominates the left and two office-like buildings dominate the right hand side. The top side has turnstyles and a gift shop, with quikcer access to an office building on the top right side. Great for free for all and deathmatch. Objective games can get annoying and capture the flag can be over incredibly fast. Great small map akin to rust from modern warfare 2.

Overall the maps are worth it in my own opinion.

Yeah, its a bit overpriced, but that is how it is with COD games and their DLC.

Discovery is a blast, though. Great change of scenery.

Yes only if you play it often though

Meh, not for me. I had enough of CoD:BO with the seventy or so hours I put into it.

I never thought about that, Discovery is a nice change. Array and that other snow level center around the middle buildings too often, discovery lacks a middle building so the fighting usually goes left or right and hardly down the middle. Good sniping range down the middle during objective games, and good close quarters along the sides.

I think that using the Spas-12 on Stadium is cheating, but I love going 29-3 with it almost as much as using my sniper pistol on Havana in hardcore.

I played a lot of Kowloon recently, and its really fun. A gakload of windows and corners you always have to be on your toes.

I enjoy sitting up on the billboard ledge. If I can I'll use a sniper rifle with a silencer on hardcore so that way they don't know I'm there. Otherwise I'll sit there with an ACOG'd assault rifle and try to take them down from a distance and jump down to get the guys shooting from the zipline building's windows.

Out of all of them I like Berlin Wall the most. My friend and I will usually play mosh pit on it and he uses care packages and sam turrets. Whenever he gets them he'll toss them into the red zone and amazingly people run after them.
