(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Now that I have reached level 50 (don't plan on going prestige) in black ops, I noticed it had no map that wowed me. All the maps were fairly mediocre, nothing like the excitement and thrill of Favela, or planing and strategy of Afghan, Modern Warfare 2 maps were well planned out. Black ops maps are fairly redundant :derp: ,

What's your take on it?

Also the graphics were fairly sub par :mad:

YHHHHH Skidrow is the best darn map ever!
Gosh i really miss that map

I agree, the maps do not give such a rush when you play on them.

My fav maps in black ops are radiation, launch and firing range and i kinda like crisis.
but my fav maps in mw2 are way better favela, storm, terminal, skidrow and scrapyard.
too bad nuketown n firing range dont come anywer near scrapyard. scrapyard ws fun and nuketown & firing range spawns jus suk!

One thing I've noticed with BO maps by playing Domination almost exclusively is that maps tend to be imbalanced in terms of team advantage.

For example, Jungle has a high vs low elevation element but one team has the upper hand because their high elevation overlooks a more trafficked area of the map. The the whole C flag area and connector (with sniper rock) arguably has better viewpoints/sight lines than the huts area.

Another example is Summit and B flag. The team that spawns near A can be said to have an advantage at B because they have an easier access to the flag, cover while capturing the flag, and easy access to the upper floor (which can be argued that it takes away the only real advantage for C spawn going for B flag)

BO maps seems less "fair" overall in Domination, but nothing extreme like Terminal and it's C-B flag combo...or Afghan's nasty spawn traps.

Maybe time will tell.

Quite honestly MW2's maps were very varied compared to BO's maps. Sure theme wise they may be different but the maps in MW2 each gave a certain class type an advantage without making all the other classes play like crap. Sniping in BO is crap and not because of how they control but because there's hardly any good place to snipe from.

Plus I miss Favela so much. I would love to have BO but with MW2's maps instead.

For some reason, I find Blackops maps to be more tactical and better for team-based games unlike Modernwarfare 2 where maps were made for games like Free for all and Team Deathmatch.

nuketown, firing range and wmd are best maps by far

ye anyway of playing the map designers at treyarch suck at they tried to make as hard as possible

Something I did like about Black ops maps is how a few constantly move, or change (slightly not a lot, but still nice) like in radiation you can close the hatch to Flag B, that's a feature I wish was in every map,
