A video for Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 has landed on IGN.

It’s more or less a music video featuring zombies and zombie dogs coming after everyone and getting shot and blown up in the process.

Rather entertaining.

The new DLC includes three new multiplayer maps and one zombie level.

It’s out in August.

Watch after the jump.

Acti put out some shots of the third World at War map pack last night. They’re on Shacknews.

The DLC includes three new multiplayer maps and one zombie level.

It’s out in August.

Activision Blizzard has revealed that map packs for last year’s Call of Duty World at War have been downloaded 4 million times.

Only two map packs have been released so far, helping the shooter top the 11 million sales mark in June, reports GI.

Don’t fret though, at four new maps are on their way in a third map pack next month.

Awesome.

Update: CoD: WaW’s official website has the first details on the new maps. Be warned, though, it’s behind an age gate, so if you’re part of our burgeoning audience of toddlers who are also WWII buffs, you’re out of luck. (Thanks, Enkeixpress.)

Just because Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set to fulfill the prophecy as foretold by analysts and blot out the sun this fall doesn’t mean its predecessor can’t keep his royal Megaton’s seat warm until the big show. As such, four new Call of Duty: World at War maps are coming this August. Activision sent out a press release to herald their arrival.

“Battery,” “Revolution,” and “Breach” are — as expected — ripped straight from the history books, while “Der Riese” makes sure all the zombies that lost their un-lives during WWII aren’t forgotten.

That’s all for now. We’re sure Activision will release more details as the map pack’s launch date draws nearer.

Community manager Josh Olin has announced that patch 1.5 for Call of Duty: World at War arrives on PC tomorrow, July 17, along with Map Pack 2 for free.

Good news, that.

Here are the patch notes according to the official site:

• CO-OP hosts can now kick players from their lobby
• Improved dog spawning in MP
• Addressed an issue with Zombie pathing
• Fixed an instance of the player model displaying incorrectly
• Some unhandled exception errors have been addressed
• Improved server browser’s refresh functionality when the Source is set to ‘Favorites’
• Added support for CODTV
• “cg_DrawFPS 1″ now only displays FPS and cg ms/frame
• Added RCon command “teamstatus” to display players’ team information
• Mods: Added joinsquad script function
• Mods: Players can now join CO-OP lobbies that are hosting map names with more than eighteen characters
• Mods: Users can now load custom maps when the usermaps folder contains fifty or more custom maps
• Mods: Removed the loading of duplicate assets that contributed to the ’2048 materials’ error
• Mods: Increased the amount of mods displayable in the Mods menu
• Mods: Fixed a crash related to the mod.arena file

Treyarch has confirmed that it’ll be bringing Map Pack 2 for the PC version of Call of Duty: World at War in Patch 1.5. The update is currently in QA.

More info will be incoming next week.

Map Pack 2, which contains three multiplayer maps and one new zombie level has already been released for the PS3 and 360.

The second CoD: World at War Map Pack will release tomorrow, Treyarch community manager Josh Olin has confirmed via Twitter.

The DLC will cost 800 MS Points/$9.99, and includes three new general maps and one new zombie map.

Via CVG. There’s no link to the tweet, so you’ll just have to have faith.

Activision will release the second map pack for Call of Duty: World at War for PS3 and Xbox 360 in June, and to hold you off until then, there’s eight minutes of it featured after the break.

The video only shows Corrosion and Sub Pens, but when the pack is released it will also include Banzai and Zombie Swamp.

Go watch.

Thanks, Joystiq.

Treyarch community lead Josh Olin feels that the game market is not saturated with zombies.

In fact, he says he could “play zombies for the rest of time.”

While promoting the upcoming Call of Duty: World at War map pack in a Giant Bomb podcast, Olin talked about his insatiable love for the undead and why it goes so well with the WWII setting.

“Out of fear of showing my zombie nerd-ism I will contend that zombies aren’t saturated at all. I could play zombies for the rest of time,” he said.

“But people thought that about the World War II genre, right — that that was saturated? And I think that with World at War at least our hope was that we would come out with something that was new and different that people haven’t been used to playing before.

“Hopefully that’s been proven by the success of these map packs.”

Long live zombies.
