Black Ops: Latest Intel First Strike Sneak Peek: Stadium
From callofduty.com:
Combat erupts outside a vacant hockey stadium on the outskirts of the city. Tensions between the Cold War powers remain high, and the victor will revel in their enemy's demoralization. A mid-sized map designed for close-quarters mayhem, teams must fight tooth and nail in a maze of tight corners and deadly vantage points.
Entrance from the western turnstiles allows the most breathing room, with a nearby souvenir shop providing cover overlooking the entryway. Planters adorning the walkway give cover to enemies, while entry to the rink encourages heavy through movement from soldiers rushing in and out of the stadium's entrance.
Offices in the north test your level of alertness on the bottom floor and reward those who make it to the second with a view of the courtyard and beyond. In addition to the stadium's second story windows, it's in everyone's best interest down below to keep these vantage points clear - especially when battling in the central courtyard.
Don't let the beautiful eastern lakeside view distract you. This side of the map forces cramped movement and a three-entry weight room. Cover the doorways and attack soldiers weaving in and out of the maze. Expect SMG and Shotgun loadouts, and consider Flak Jacket to stand up against flying grenades and Claymores. Success lies in controlling the battlefield and keeping a level head. Stay cool and let your reflexes kick in. If you come out last, take some time to study the latest edition of Popular Weapons '73 - you can find copies all around the map. Just look for the Sentry Gun on the cover.
Gear up and get ready for Stadium when Call of Duty®: Black Ops First Strike first hits Xbox LIVE® on February 1st. Keep your eyes open as we cover more of First Strike's maps in the coming weeks.
