Sam Nouriani on Call of Duty 3 Bravo Map Pack details

As a follow up the previously released Valor Map Pack for Call of Duty 3, the latest compilation of maps dives a little further back into the past as it includes remakes of popular maps for the early PC version of Call of Duty and Call of Duty 2. Straight from TeamXbox, a Q&A has revealed that there are also new maps coming for the Xbox 360 CoD3 fan.

 

The first two maps, Depot and Kharkov, both stem from the first titles in the Call of Duty series, depicting the two Russian front maps formerly only available on the PC. Game producer Sam Nouriani explained that they chose to bring these two maps from the PC community over to the Xbox community in order to bring the classic and fast-paced gameplay to the console.

Three new maps, Aller Haut, Seine River and Rimling, all depict the scenarios during the French Normandy Breakout, following D-Day. Marseilles sports an assortment of tanks, jeeps and motorcycles, while Aller Haut grants the Allies a single tank to aid in an uphill battle. The Seine River emphasizes foot or trike mobility, allowing only motorcycles for wheeled movement. Other details include:

• Aller Haut – Allies must storm an Axis fortress perched on top of a war-torn hill.
• Rimling – narrow alleyways, small bridges and tight roads permit only close-proximity combat, skirmishes and ambushes
• Seine River – a nocturnal map designed to add stealth and dark mood to close quarters combat

The Bravo Map Pack is scheduled for a late May or early June release and should be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace for about 800 Microsoft Points (about US$ 10). Let’s just hope this Call of Duty 3 map compilation doesn’t come bugged, like last time.
