no summit is crazy

[@FREAKYTURK1903]

Not mentioning Summit is a cardinal sin..

[@AC03115]

It's nice hearing Carrier get mentioned, that map was always one of my favorites from BO2. Of course everyone remembers it for trickshotting but even with other weapons Carrier was always so much fun

As a black ops 1 s&d player, Radiation and Kowloon were absolute top tier maps. Array is a good one too

Don’t forget wmd and honai and havana.

They mention black ops 2 so much you would think they’d want to support it a little bit from hackers and keep the game alive

[@AngelofDeath-Y2K]

Also, Ground War matches on Cracked were so intense.. miss those days😢

[@DeepApnea]

It’s strange that they don’t talk about new maps. This show how old maps changed COD and how those were good to play. Now we are having something different

[@Boocat94]

Because the new maps are trash.

[@UFC93]

Because it went from a passion project to mass production

[@BeastyBoyXD]

Wow, it's nice to see Cracked get a little bit of love. Weirdly, it's my favourite ever map, always managed to get some good games on that one.

[@randompillow5146]

I’m glad Carrier got mentioned. One of the best maps that hasn’t ever been remade.

[@CanabisWhiskeyAnanas]

IM ON THE TOILET RN!

[@AngelofDeath-Y2K]

Its quite simple.. stick to the small, medium/ maps with the 3 short long sections to run down.. get away from the big maps.. Cod is a fast paste 1st person shooter.. it is not BF.

[@pavanraj4125]

And no clown skins please !!!!!!!!

[@morte1176]

black ops 2 scoring the best multiplayer map by the devs

[@rando8831]

Standoff is my favorite treyarch map ever made, highrise is my favorite IW map

It just hurts to see this , how much fun we had back then. Sbmm joined the party ...

Kowloon was really like that , and carrier .

[@josephbailey6548]

Best cod in my opinion was cod4 I felt like a real soldier calling uavs, predator missiles and helicopters not dogs that just spawns anywhere when you call them lol. But nowadays I play cod for a few months then it collects dust. Last time I played cod mw3 on ps5 was like 2 weeks before Christmas last year.

[@GoldNEagle92]

[@pavanraj4125]

I liked when call of duty didn’t have mouse and clown skins in mutlploayer. Yes I know this all started with advanced warfare, but it’s been almost 11 years since then and not one thing about that aspect of the game has gone back to normal. I want to play as a soilder shooting at soilders not Brutus the zombie or Alfred the clown 😭😂

[@AngelValentinRivera]

No Summit or WMD 😱😖 I guess non of them likes cold weather, they didn’t mention any snow map.

[@amamu-ef8zm]

Standoff Raid Slums Nuketown Diesel ! These maps are another level

[@jamiethomas5849]

Firing Range is the best Black Ops map don’t even attempt to argue with me

[@bapiix]

how is there not a single black ops 4 map.... arsenal, hacienda, seaside, frequency, gridlock?????

[@PrestoHobbies]

Nuketown obviously always a favorite even when you think about how bad it is in terms of gameplay since it’s so small. Raid is definitely one of the best built maps in COD history.

[@meialua7124]

Bro carrier and raid were so good along with the warthog killstreak which was damn cool as well,bo2 was even better than the nostalgia

[@JustArry]

kowloon was amazing

[@AngelValentinRivera]

The entire DLC was amazing
