Let me begin by saying I am a huge fan of Black Ops 3, Ghosts was too easy and the extinction mode was nothing compared to Black Ops zombies, while Advanced Warfare was way too fast paced and twitch based with exo zombies being a decent addition to zombies, however not on caliber with the black ops maps. After about 20 hours of multiplayer and zombies gameplay combined it is safe to say Awakening is another solid addition to the COD franchise.

I decideded it would be best to get a few days of gaming in to get a good handle on the new maps and accurately be able to judge how well this map pack is compared to others. Being an Xbox One owner I have just gotten access to the Black Ops 3 Awakening DLC pack on March 3rd, one month after being released on Playstation 4. This is the first game in the COD franchise that is releasing their DLC packs for Playstation first.

I am the type of person who invests hundreds of hours into multiplayer as well as zombies, even delving deeply into easter egg hunting…when the DLC’s used to come out for Microsoft first. I consider myself a veteran COD player having played every game in the franchise, excluding handheld series. The Call of Duty franchise is certainly not afraid to promote paid for downloadable content with all of their recent games dating all the way back to basic two map additions in Call of Duty 2, to enormous in scope, map packs with game patches and weapon additions of the most recent Black Ops 3.
