Time to check for that CoD:WaW Map Pack 3…
Unfortunately, with the Twitter being out of service, it’s tough to tweet about it…

Hmm… Why are the zombie levels in CoD:WaW so addictive? Especially this latest one in the Map Pack 2?
Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 — Shi No Numa Crazed Hell Hounds…
WTF!
At first, I was quite shocked when, around Round VII in Shi No Numa, there was a bout of disembodied manical cackling, followed by loud lightning balls (like St. Elmo’s Fire) next to my character, and then smoky-fiery Hell Hounds materializing out of the lightning and then– oops! My character died.
As I’ve kept playing the map, I thought it was a fluke that I lasted to Round VII before the Hell Hounds showed up. They started to appear on Round V.
Or so I thought.
Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 — Shi No Numa First Play…
Wow!
Sure, I’m not the supreme CoD player, or even the top CoD zombie-slayer, but I really enjoy the varied layout and flow for the new Shi No Numa (Shi-no Numa?) zombie map. Like the Verruckt map released in Map Pack 1, this one is a much larger environment, and allows for a lot of differing gaming styles. However, in terms of defensible areas, this new map definitely tops Verruckt for the lone player.
You do have to watch out for the hellhounds… but those are the breaks.
And, no, the Wonderwaffe DG-2 isn’t as great as some folks would have you believe. You should do a lot better with the grenade-bearing rifles and the MP-42 SMG…
Wonderwaffe DG-2…
Have you ever wondered with game designers or developers like to toss in some fortuitous Easter eggs or in-game goodies just to see how you’d react?
I wonder about Map Pack 2 (for CoD:WaW), in the new Zombie map…
I decided to gamble at one of the “?” weapon boxes, and I ended up getting a freakish-electrical discharge weapon, the Wonderwaffe DG-2. Not much ammo, but quite a spectacular electrical spectacle (heheheh)! Initially, I thought that its area of effect was akin to a shotgun, but apparently not: you do need to aim somewhat accurately. But there seems to be some splash damage if you’re good, so that compensates for the low ammo loadout and small magazine.
Now, where’s my favorite ray gun?
Argh! I’ll have to spend 800 of my 2020 MS Points to get the new COD:WaW Map Pack 2!
Earlier today, Map Pack 2 for Call of Duty: World at War became available for downloading on Xbox LIVE, for 800 MS Points. Unlike the previous Map Pack 1, this one adds additional Achievement Points for the new Zombie map included. So, in addition to all of the new multiplayer goodness, you’ve got some point hunting to do…
Good times, folks, good times!

To be clear, I’ve only made it to Round IX on solo in Shi No Numa.
