New Maps
If there’s one thing that’s felt particularly problematic in Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer since its release, it’s the lack of maps. While developer Treyarch has provided maps for standard 6v6 skirmishes, smaller 2v2 or 3v3 battles, and the larger ‘Fireteam’ modes, in doing so, it’s left each group’s selection feeling a little lackluster.
I’ve personally found myself gravitating to the standard 6v6 multiplayer modes, and occasionally diving into the more tactical 3v3 game modes. The problem is, there play these modes in long stints and the lack of map variety really begins to stick out like a sore thumb.
Having three different pools of maps for each of the different game sizes has led to the offerings feeling like they’ve been spread far too thin. For example, at the time of writing, there’s only two Fireteam maps, four Gunfight maps, and 11 6v6 maps.
We already know that Sanitorium is being added as a Fireteam map in the mid-season update, and Dropkick will come to bolster the 6v6 offerings, but we’d love to see a maybe one or two more added to further bolster the map offering across all three different modes, too.
To strengthen the offering further, we’d love to see a bit of additional crossover between the different ‘pools’ of maps, too. Let all hell break loose with 12 players fighting it out on the Gunfight ‘Game Show’ map. 2v2/ 3v3 on Nuketown ’84? Yes, please!
