According to the Facebook page of actor Danny Trejo, (The star of Machete) Call of Duty Black ops Zombie Map pack 2 production is already in progress and will feature 4 Movie/TV stars.
Each with past roles in horror style roles that fit in nicely with the Zombie genre. The actors are being put in motion capture suits so we are assuming they will be playing themselves each as a character from one of their past roles.
So who will we have and what roles from the past will they bring to the game? Well the first is known, the later not sure but we can guess at it.
1. Danny Trejo. Danny has been in many roles in the horror/gore genre, Dusk to dawn to name one, but I am betting he will be chopping up zombies in map pack #2 as his most recent bad ass role MACHETE!
2. Sarah Michelle Gellar. Ya she is a petite gal, but her character Buffy the Vampire Hunter is not to be ignored. I am sure a few zombies will be no problem for this gal.
3. Michael Rooker This guys name might not ring a bell but he has been all over the movies, you would recognize him on the street. He has done plenty of horror type stuff in the past but I have a feeling he will be cast as his character in his new role on the new series The Walking Dead as Merle Dixon
4. Robert Englund Hell yes, one of the masters of Horror, you may know him better as the origional Freddy Krueger! But what role will he be cast as? It would be fantastic to play zombies as Krueger but it is possible he will be cast as his less known, more recent role as Ian from the 2008 movie Zombie Strippers.

Halo: Reach will be getting three new multiplayer maps and all new achievements next month with today's announcement of the "Halo: Reach Defiant Map Pack". The new DLC is priced at 800 MSP, and will include all new Achievements worth a total of 150 Gamerscore.
The battle for the planet Reach continues with the Defiant Map Pack! Fight competitively on Condemned, a mangled communications hub high above the planet, Highlands, a Spartan training facility nestled in the mountains of Reach, or engage the Covenant directly on Unearthed, defending the entrance to a key titanium mine in the first Firefight DLC ever.
Condemned: Condemned takes place aboard Orbital Station Gamma, a massive space station high in orbit above the planet Reach. Prior to the Covenant’s overwhelming invasion, Orbital Station Gamma provided long range communications for UNSC fleets and a vital lifeline between Reach and Earth. During the Battle of Reach, the station suffered terrible punishment at the hands of the Covenant but a few fortified sections remain intact, fully pressurized, and ready for combat. Condemned supports 6 – 12 players in a variety of action-packed game types, including Team Slayer, Team Objective and Free for All.
Highlands: Highlands takes place on the top-secret Military Wilderness Training Preserve on Reach. The Preserve is a large, wooded area where Spartan super-soldiers trained long before the war with the Covenant began. During the Battle of Reach, the Preserve was the site of key battles between the alien invaders and a group of Spartans who used their familiarity with these UNSC training grounds to significant tactical advantage…but not everyone who enters these woods makes it out alive. Highlands expands the fight with massive-scale engagements for 8 – 16 players in Big Team Battle, Team Slayer and Team Objective.
Unearthed: Unearthed takes the battle for Reach to a large Titanium mine and refinery located in the Viery civilian sector of the planet. This particular mine was built to take advantage of the exposed titanium inside a massive meteor crater. The titanium produced here is used in much of the UNSC hardware, from the chassis of the Warthog to the meters-thick armor plating of capital ships like the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. While this facility was quickly abandoned when the Covenant arrived on Reach, it still has significant tactical (and economic) value and it won’t be long before both humans and Covenant return to battle for control. Unearthed allows up to 4 players to launch a counterassault against the Covenant in Firefight and Firefight modes such as Generator Defense.
The Defiant Map Pack will be available this March on Xbox LIVE. Watch the official "Defiant Map Pack Trailer" after the break, and stay tuned to 360-HQ for more info.
