Call of Duty: World at War map packs for the Playstation 3 are 50% this week in the Playstation Store. All three map-packs will be on sale until Sunday, November 1st for North America. Double-XP has also been enabled and will last until November 1st.

According to Playstation.blog there will also be important playlist changes, including: 

• Hardcore HQ: The addition of Hardcore Headquarters to the Hardcore playlists has taken effect, by popular demand.
• Team Flags: In the MAP PACK category, the old “Team Objective” playlist has been removed, and replaced with two playlists; Team Flags being one of them (CTF, Domination, and War).
• Team Objectives: Also in the MAP PACK category, the counterpart to Team Flags is this new playlist, Team Objectives (S&D, HQ, and Sabotage).
• Also, all 3 map packs are now in the MAP PACK rotation. So if you want to play only new content, but are tired of the same 3 maps, this will hopefully be a happy medium for you =)
