It's quite obvious why they removed it. I haven't even had time to buy the game yet and from what I've heard people have be able to get to 2nd, 3rd, even 4th, prestige, just from playing this one map. In order to sell players DLC they need them to still be interested in the game long after its release, and therefore they have to make the leveling up progress relatively slow. Removing nuketown was probably their way of doing that. Although, I have no doubt they'll end up adding it back as people are gonna be royally pissed off.

Leveling up in this game is easy regardless...90% of my 1 day, 13hours time played is FFA, and I am already prestige 3, level 29. It's just easy as hell

I'm not there yet, but I am at level 47, with less than 12 hours played, with maybe only a hour of double xp. Busy on the weekends.

I felt like MW3 was about 18-24 hours a prestige depending on double xp weekends/tokens. I like how you can prestige in 12-14 hours but only having 10-11 prestige, WOW, people are going to be maxed out before Xmas gets here.
