Rejoice PC gamers because you’ll be getting Map Pack 3 goodness this week when the 1.6 patch goes live for PC’s Call of Duty: World at War; three brand new maps for all.
Technically four if you want to include the new Nazi Zombie map, which takes place in a secret facility. It’s a patch so things like ”various crashes” get fragged; always a good thing.
”Great news - Patch 1.6 (w/ Map Pack 3) is finished & now in test over at Activision!” posted Treyarch’s community man ‘JD’.
”Additionally, we do expect a concurrent release of the Mod Tools 1.4 package, Linux dedicated 1.6 bins, and the Steam 1.6 day-of-date with this patch. More details on those will be made available once they get cleared through testing.”
