The epitome of Treyarch's 3 lane philosophy I think. Truly gifted map-making

[@vincentseidle954]

loved almost every map

[@transmundanemusic]

I'll never understand why people perpetuate this myth of 3 lane maps. There were ZERO simple 3 lane maps in this game or any of the classics CODs.

[@ThatSniperBirdy]

@@transmundanemusic "3 lane maps" weren't a myth, you just can't see the game that way....Firing Range literally is one of the best examples of a perfect 3 lane map

[@transmundanemusic]

@@ThatSniperBirdy firing range is one example, and even so, it’s not a simple 3 lane map. You have 3 routes to take at spawn and then there are all kinds of cross sections, nooks, crannies etc. it opens right up. The overwhelming majority of maps from MW1 to MW3 were not simple 3 lane designs. They had tons of intricacies, verticality, cross paths etc, and didn’t funnel all players into the same areas of the map. 3 lane has always been a philosophy, but my point is that the super linear designs didn’t start till later, and it alone is one of the biggest reasons why newer CODs don’t play the same. Linear map Design gets incredibly dull and repetitive. Older maps had way more going on.

[@ThatSniperBirdy]

@@transmundanemusicNobody is saying they're simple. Alternate sightlines and routes allow you to utilize all 3 lanes to their max (protecting obj, running flags) but are just a by-product of having 3 lanes. The lanes are where objectives usually are and winning requires holding down those lanes. Cross paths are just there to bridge the lanes in the first place, at its most basic.

Hope you have a great day

[@maybelater2010]

Give it two months and people will move on from this once the onset of how dated these games actually are hits and the rose colored nostalgia glasses come off. Even when the servers weren't broken back in 2018, me and some friends partied and played frequently on MW2(2009) and get into hella games but it would get boring after a couple hours once you realize that you've already played this game a million times and all the little nuances that made these games annoying start raising their head again.

[@maybelater2010]

COD needed that new movement to keep it fresh cause when devs leaned into the old school movement in MW2/WZ2, it absolutely sucked cock lol.

There’s something about this that really made you feel like you were actually a part of the game, more realistic, simple boots on the ground. I remember when I was 23 and I played this with my old crew back then. This was so sentimental to me because not long ago I found out that one of my old buddies that I used to play black ops with passed away in a car accident.. We had a lot of great memories on this game. Such a great guy even though we never meet each other in person which I kind of wish we did. 10+ years later Now I’m old 🙃 lol and long retired from the gaming community. Thank you for uploading such nostalgia.

[@devinbowsier944]

Just because youre old doesnt mean anything :)

[@TYGR2115]

It seems the CoD community is having a serious "Go back, I want to be monke" zeitgeist, and that's pretty swell to see - though it could also be a seen as a tragic acceptance, having seen that there is no bright future beyond those golden olden days. Like watching the rosey years of your life flash before your eyes before finally fading away.

[@christianmusic6375]

I loved the money system it was awesome you actually got rewarded for grinding the game and not specific weapons. I like it more than the level weapon system

I miss the wager matches, COD point system, custom recticles, the multiplayer menu theme, the original zombies theme (Damned), and all else that came with this game.
