An exciting new addition to the classic CoD game has arrived first on PlayStation 4 and includes four classic maps along with 10 rare supply drops.
The maps have been remastered in full HD glory across a range of different environments. They include Broadcast, which is based on the TV station from the campaign mission Charlie Don’t Surf.
This map provides a unique blend of confined corridors and wide-open spaces. Chinatown is the old-school map based on Call of Duty 2 favourite Carentan. Set in a foggy downtown district, this nighttime map is lit up by flickering neon signs and a full moon. The final two maps include Creek, which is set in a wide-open village where a gaping ravine divides this map into two.
And Killhouse – a small training warehouse filled with various building mock-ups that feature soft and hard cover points.
It doesn’t come cheap at £11.59 – but then again this is one of the greatest shoot‘em-ups of all time.

This up-to-the-minute horror-tinged thriller is the form of six true-crime podcasts (in the vein of smash hit Serial), each an interview with an eyewitness to an unsolved death.
It’s 20 years since a teen vanished on an Outward Bound holiday on Northumbria’s bleak Scarclaw Fell.
The mystery fascinated the public, and as the interviews, conducted by a masked anonymous host, revisit what really happened that night in the wilds, witnesses and the dead boy’s friends tell their own stories.
Bold, clever and genuinely chilling – with a terrific twist that provides an explosive final punch. After her husband’s sudden death, Eleanor takes in Romanian Luca, who arrives on her doorstep – much to everyone’s horror. But as a series of bizarre events threaten her safety, she beings to wonder who she can trust. Tightly plotted, intelligent and full of menace. With her marriage flagging and finding parenting a struggle, Ella turns to her mother – who flies to her rescue, bringing the special supernatural gifts that run in the family. The plot’s a little busy, but this is still a charming and lyrical story.
