It’s not that it’s hard they purposefully design them like that now to help the bots and better their player retention. With the maps all open like that it’s harder for a skilled player or one that “knows the map” predict where people will come from making it easier on bots and new players and the other reason they’re designed like that is so no team can gain legit control of a map, cuz their stupid data tells them that the closer the matches are the more bots stay playing the game.

But people mostly choose maps like Payback, Babylon, Skyline, Subsonic, Derelict and Nuketown to farm xp faster. And they are too chaotic for my taste. And while Vault, Scud, and Extraction offer more long-range encounters, they're also not all that fun. And what's even worse is that there are zero graphical options on console to improve visibility. Compared to how the game looks here on this channel, enemies are way harder to spot for me - unless I mess with the TV settings just for this single game. It's BS.

[@TheRealNagster]

My problem with the Black Ops 6 maps is the maps have too many large elevation changes for the size of them and the speed of the game. I think that’s why Hacienda feels good in this game, the outside is relatively flat and the only raised area is in the middle. Babylon is the opposite, there’s 4 different areas on a smaller map that are elevated along with small access areas. There’s too many different angles to manage along with elevation changes that nothing flows.

Biggest annoyance is the fact that we played old CoD so much, we made a strategy of how to read a map. Depending on where friendly was, seeing how many enemies are on the kill feed and knowing spawn point. You could then create your next route on where to go. Now in CoD, this strategy doesn't exist, just run like a headless chicken from head glitch to another position and hope no one spawns behind you.

[@toysoldier7541]

@ those modes can be fun with the right maps. For instance there are 3 lanes you cross one. Then you have 2 possible places where the enemy could be. If you’re good you take them out the rest come from the same place, get a killchain going. With some of these maps in bo6 (almost every map) you think you are in a safe spot. But then they could come from 5 or sometimes even more different places. Playing these modes increase the chances someone’s coming from that place 1 out of 5 or more while you’re gunning already 3 players, still dominant?

What's the problem with warzone poi now? I think playing it in multiplayer is a great way to really learn this poi, we'll have an advantage when Avalon will come out

[@MikeJones281hou]

Simple answer is there are too many camping spots. Designed so you can die instead of go on streaks. Old cod maps didn’t really have hiding spots. More so like cover to post behind. Now there’s doors, corners after corners.

I paused at 7:53, your wrong about the spawn location of Firing Range. Original Spawn by the Mess Hall, not at the Firing Range

[@andrewc1097]

Biggest underrated thing about black ops 1 maps. You can do ANY play style because of design.

[@jerfacekilla]

I think you're over-thinking this. It's not the number of 'lanes' (which is kind of how you interpret them) that are the issue, it's the fact that we have small maps with crazy fast movement. That is the problem.

[@roberthenry6910]

@@jerfacekilla This is it! Even just watching this gameplay of BO1, its striking just how SLOW movement is, even with sprinting. The maps in BO1 are far larger than anything in BO6 and yet BO6 moves at least twice or 3 times as fast.

[@Everything_E117]

Literally that simple lol

[@curly-hairedassassin5233]

Agreed. Tbf, these Bo6 maps are mediocre at best by design. But I totally agree that they would play insignificantly better if we weren't running like a pride of lions.

[@thesmithmemes373]

Man, i think there is something else you missed, cover is a rarity in bo6. Nuketown is like 90% paper

[@bs7257]

The real problem is spawns. Realistically you could draw the same 3 lanes on most bo6 maps but its problem is 5:03 “when you spawn on this side you’re shooting this way, when you spawn on this side you’re shooting that way” on bo6 you can spawn in the back of a map and think ok this is our spawn now I can focus on what’s in front of me but 10 seconds later the whole enemy team is spawning behind you. The safety bubble of the spawn logic feels way too small almost like the spawn logic of the entire game was designed for stakeout and nothing else. Sometimes you’ll even spawn on the same side as enemies it makes the game so much more unreadable

[@shea.ohmsford]

What happens there is your team invade enemy spawn, they spawn in your original spawn, then your team leave the enemy spawn free so they spawn there again. Every game like this. It's not bad, you just have to understand how it works

[@MonoPod_DD]

Yeah I never realized it until I saw you lay it out like this and explain it. The biggest problem with the maps in newers CoD titles is that there is too much exposure. In most cases, players feel like they can't get away with much of anything, even if it's just a flank, because there is an unbalanced amount of exposure through many routes in the map.

[@MadCapMoto]

[@impalaboy776]

sbmm is trash on this game. Which is why I play solo. Every game I play solo I usually get 25 kills and maybe 10 deaths, the moment I join ANY of my friends and play any game with them, I get maybe 4-8 kills and die 15-20 times. Get spawn killed repeatedly, and seems like people take 3 times as many bullets to take down.

[@shea.ohmsford]

@impalaboy776 well if you're teammates are demons, what should the game do? Matching you all with 10yo kids so you can have 25 kills, your teammates 50 and the kids 0? How is this fair in your point of view?

[@_Tay410]

In my opinion, the primary issue with Call of Duty maps is not solely the quality of the maps themselves. Rather, I believe that the rapid-fire movement mechanic has significantly compromised the gameplay experience. The slide canceling, bunny hopping, and other maneuvers are challenging to execute effectively amidst the constant threat of instant death. The fast-paced nature of the maps clashes with the inherent unpredictability of combat, resulting in a disjointed and frustrating gameplay experience. Initially, when the game was released in beta, the pace was considerably slower, which contributed to a more enjoyable gameplay experience. However, the introduction of faster-paced gameplay mechanics has rendered many maps ineffective. The spawn locations in the game are also problematic, as they often fail to align with the intended gameplay mechanics. For instance, Nuketown’s spawns do not distribute players evenly, making it difficult to achieve a balanced gameplay experience.

[@amamu-ef8zm]

We need all the COLDWAR maps back !!!!

[@INFIDEL1254]

I firmly believe that the Call of Duty community has done it to themselves with the addition of Shipment 24/7 people played that thing for days and weeks on end. Activision (et all) saw it as an opportunity to keep players engaged on the servers and all times, so what did they do? They turned around and tried to make every map like shipment. That is a community driven problem. Although Activision is not absolved of guilt. We, in a way, did it to ourselves if people weren't in the meat grinder trying to grind for camos, they would have never degraded to such a low point. Once again, Activision is not absolved of poor map making, nor should we be subjected to wash, rinse, repeat maps (Nuketown).

[@Xl081x]

Y'all should known girls don't pay attention to details so y'all trying to hold her accountable for that. Y'all should have known she doesn't know what 3 lanes means besides left right and middle thats 3 lanes to her 😅

[@IngE02]

This is why I play Search & Destroy 99% of the times. It slows down the gameplay enough to make these maps playable.

[@xDrunkenxSovietx]

7:49 Blame Truth said this same thing, while there was sight lines from one lane to another you would be restricted to where the maps were supposed to flow like while you could see lane 2 from lane 1 there was only one or two openings in the lane to flank as compared to black ops 6 where 90 percent of the lanes are open so you can get from lane 1 to lane 3 in 2 seconds regardless of where you are in the lane, I know it sound complicated but if you know you know.

[@swiftblaqness]

Yeah man buildings should literally only have like two to three entrances and like one sneaky spot to get in for the ones who know. Now literally every building has eight ways in, it's actually ridiculous anyone can be anywhere at any time. Even if you can hear them or see them on radar there are still several options on which doorway they can be coming through which means you basically have to keep switching your aim between all of them and allow enough time for them to enact cod timing and have the character come through the exact doorway you just looked at one second after you looked at it.

You are taking me down memory lane with all the BO1 maps. Such a good COD, my favorite cod in fact. I also realized how much I knew the maps as well lol 😭

[@kandihustty5610]

I feel like there's a perfect ratio of "Movement" to map size to accessibility that they just can't nail down. Bo1 and several other older games' maps FELT a bit too big for my tastes aside from a few stand outs, not actually too big, but there was so much time between engagements on some of them, since camping was way more common back then (besides MW19/22). A camper will find a "power position" and the only way to "flank them" was a great 'nade bounce or hoping their allies don't spawn too close to them to save their ass while you try and go the long way around. Most of these issues they fixed by making everyone faster and making it harder for rats to rat, then shot themselves in the foot by making them too fast and having too many access points so cover is almost non-existant for people who are trying to flank. Because there's usually not enough MAP it just becomes a meat grinder.

[@swiftblaqness]

Exactly man you hit the nail on the head. The perfect amount of map to movement ratio is firing range or Nuketown. You get into engagements quickly but you also have a little bit of area where you know there aren't going to be any gun fights, Small to medium sized maps a few buildings with only a couple ways to enter each one. That is how these maps should be designed, they for some reason can't ever get it right. Even though they have plenty of times in the past, why can't they just look at older map design and see what made them great. Now every building has so many entrances there is literally no way to lock down a house. Even though modern warfare 2019 might be the most egregious ever since that game it's like every room has eight ways into it, No control no tactical play. You just have to constantly be moving at all times or else someone is in your ass
