Ok, so I recently got Black Ops installed. Looking at downloading one of the map packs from steam. Only have budget to do 1 right now. Which one would you guys suggest?
Thanks

Hmm... I would say Annihilation has my favourites, overall.
But keep an eye on the Steam sales - just a few weeks ago they were all half price.
FYI we have 2 Back Ops servers. #1 runs all DLC, and #2 runs only original maps. You can certainly join server 1 if it's running a map you have, but you'll get dropped when it loads a map you do not have..

Thanks for the info Abram. I see server 2 on the list, but there is hardly ever anyone in there. And just my luck on missing the sale. I will have to keep a watch on it.

Yes server 2 can be pretty inactive, especially at night. But we've been holding Shotgun Fridays on ,... Friday, on server 2, and it stays fairly active.
Here's a list of the original + Annihilation maps, so if you see server 1 running them, come on in!
Array
Cracked
Crysis
Firing Range
Grid
Hanoi
Havanah
Jungle
Launch
Nuketown

Summit
Villa
WMD
Annihilation:
Drive-In
Hangar-18
Hazard

Bags, it's hard to say what time I play black ops. I'll jump in when there are too many rifle nades in WaW, or when there are some maps on there that I don't care for. I'm still getting a feel for black ops, not that good at it yet.
Abrams, again, thanks for the additional info.

Well Black Ops still has the underslung grenade launchers (aka "noobtubes"), so you won't escape that altogether. I love Black Ops, but I still can't help but rolls my eyes when i get tubed.
I just started playing W@W recently and I found the transition from Black Ops to be pretty smooth - I manage to do fairly well on most maps. It's getting to know the maps that is the difficult part.

I also roll my eyes, as well as say some choice words under my breath, every time I get tubed.
Yes, getting the feel for the layout of the maps is my biggest challenge. Really like jungle and Havana.
