Top 10 ABANDONED Maps in COD History! (What Happened?)

[@NerosCinema]

Hello Notification Squad! This video is bound to make you feel old...

[@TheCraftingProsHD]

Bruh I’m 23….. 😂

[@bdubs2457]

Hey Nero, I saw there was an update on Cold War a few days ago. Did that fix any of the hacking issues, or are they still there? Thanks again for all the videos and work you do

[@andre_st]

Warhawk did come back as a re imagined version in Infinite Warfare. I forgot the name though.

[@tawon1984]

@@TheCraftingProsHDI’ll be 40 next year. I’ve played COD since COD 1 and Medal of Honor before they split to create COD 👴🏽

[@Calma123_]

these are 3 layer maps which they got rid off for giant desert maps like Taraq and Border..

[@BGB1983]

Mission from MW3 needs a mention. It's one of the maps which catered for all play styles, it's the original Shoothouse. Left was sniping, middle up close and right mid range.

[@slcow12345]

Mission can stay in its grave. You must've forgotten what being spawn trapped on that map was like. 😂

[@cheponis]

@@slcow12345 That didn't happen that often. Even so, you get to use smokes, toobs, and team comm to press one side. I like all the MW3 maps, especially Seatown. and Underground.

[@slcow12345]

@@cheponis Didn't happen often? 😂 That whole map is either spawn trap or get spawn trapped. You have rose tinted glasses for sure. 😂

[@tylerthompson8241]

Agreed

[@kanutaro3426]

@@cheponis Spawn trapping happened way more often in Dome

[@1TKeffer]

The most forgotten map imo is “Upheaval” from World at War. That map was so damn good and nostalgic. Deserves a remake.

[@thebestworstdriver8693]

theres so many perfect maps in WaW i miss that game alot

[@1TKeffer]

@@thebestworstdriver8693 it really was something special. I played every WW2 game from return to castle wolfenstein to even vanguard and this one was the one of the best.

[@kamelkadri2843]

Upheaval maybe my fav map from WaW, dang now I need to redownload the game again just to play that 1 map

[@gamecrafter115]

Im surprised you didnt talk about kowloon. One of my favorites from BO1 and one of the most unique maps in the entire series

[@JairusApolina]

Kowloon, this is one of the best forgotten maps!

[@DiMECallofDuty]

Agreed it was awesome 👍

[@NerosCinema]

That zipline man lol so fun

[@DiMECallofDuty]

@@NerosCinema it was fun if you wanted to get shot 😂

[@kamelkadri2843]

actually I love every map in BO1 apart from Hazard & Kowloon

[@King-AD]

That's because in those days maps make sense and had flow nowadays maps need 30 lanes 250 lanes of sight and headgliches and more importantly safe spaces.

[@munkayttaja6913]

That's the infinity ward way of thinking

[@Jesse.George]

Black Ops 1 maps are all bangers. I played it recently and was like wow did they even know how to miss. Even with those bigger winter maps they were fire. No skips. Like Get Rich or Die Tryin

[@beefynfn]

It's sad to me that Bo3 maps will probably never come back, even though Bo3 doesn't even have a single bad map

[@mazokuwarrior]

That's bc they can't come back without advanced movement.. They'd have to change Alot to being them back without it

[@Nitroh-]

​@mazokuwarrior Combine would be great for BOTG. Just where the main wallrun spot is on the side in middle map just put a catwalk there, easy fix. The rest of Combine can be played perfectly fine on the ground.

[@WilingtonProductions]

I love BO3. I wish it was more active on console

[@McMikey78]

​@@mazokuwarriorwell for areas that required wall runs, added walk ways and just stuff for that walk way. For things that involved boost jumping, just add ways to climb up lol. Not hard

[@fracturedrealitygaming1326]

Infection. Every single time I got that map, there was some MF that did the under map glitch in the back spawn with the boulder

[@Alex-qy4mi]

Warhawk was brought back one time in the final DLC for Infinite Warfare

[@NerosCinema]

I've once again been foiled for not having played IW lol I was playing MWR that year

[@raidengoodman8754]

@@NerosCinemangl i liked infinite warfare and still forgot so you’re not alone 😂

[@Jules279]

I miss Warhawk, the Ghosts maps don't get love because everyone cried and bitched about them being "too big".

[@itzfourpower]

I was just thinking sure this one was re made

[@DiMECallofDuty]

@@NerosCinema I didn't know either I quit playing it because the launch maps were atrocious!

[@XMBarrett]

Warhawk was remade in Infinite Warfare, named Heartland

[@NerosCinema]

I have been foiled again by playing MWR that year instead of IW

[@ImVxpour]

@@NerosCinema You missed out! Genuinely a great game

[@tawon1984]

Warhawk was my favorite map from Ghost, it came back for Infinite Warfare. I think you skipped playing that COD if I remember correctly.

[@GullyFootTony]

Flak Tower from WW2 is one map that I hope one day makes a return. Great fast paced action map

[@IanTarrantula]

So many great maps. Quite a few from WW2 too. I know alot of people hated on WW2 but I can honestly say it was the last CoD I thoroughly enjiyed and played throughout its life cycle. So many great maps. Flak Tower, Pointe Du Hoc, Sandbox and V2 were all great maps.

[@lAMDEWAN]

I don’t remember plaza being a “fan-favorite”, looked cool and had the dubstep room but it wasn’t even a top 10 map in bo2. Don’t remember people voting for plaza and saying “yes! Plaza!” Nonetheless, it has been forgotten other than the stupid references to it with Miami in Cold War. Grid is definitely up there for me and so is seatown. Nice little throwback 👍

[@PriestlyBlock67]

Cold war was supposed to get grid, firing range, summit etc In fact you can find the entirety of grid in one of the fire team maps right now lol I think it's the one with the huge radar

[@kokdolfn]

miami is the most beatifully detailed cod map of all time

[@LittleBigBwner]

I feel like every DLC map from BO1 should come back some day, I can't think of a single one that I hated or thought was so bad I didn't want to play on it

[@MostDopeLarry]

Hell yeah

[@gingerandbroke1402]

Discovery was beautiful

[@Oramj]

honestly if valkyrie came back i don't want them to touch the theme too much, we rarely get maps that take place in the woods. but when we do the maps are absolute bangers, redwood and valkyrie being surrounded by towering trees is a vibe. like yeah they could modernize the buildings but i like the brutalist design they have.

[@grimjack8729]

The Ardennes Forest map in WW2 was definitely one of the best in the game, if not the best. Certainly was my favorite.

[@EyePatchGuy88]

Good to see Nero recognize Valkyrie, what a great map.

[@Kel2Sleepy]

Nero I love these videos they bring back old memories

[@NerosCinema]

That was the goal haha

[@bendavey9497]

There was a map similar to micro in WW2 called sandbox. Not that it was a remake but where the players are shrunken and fighting next to huge sandbox toys including army men. Good times

[@c1dtl39]

The damn toy soldiers scattered throughout the map definitely revealed my position more times than I want to admit lol

[@gratedradish6699]

6:50 And to think I used to get frustrated on that map around that tank because there was a lot of sightlines I lost killstreaks from. You could easily see that tank from 8-10 different angles. If only I knew how bad the sightline problem would be in these modern maps where that issue exists in almost every single map. You don't know the good times are the good times until its the bad times.

[@thefirstjackdeals]

I really liked carnival from mw2 resurgence pack. I personally think the map would play really well on the new cods with how much quicker movement is and I hope they bring the map back at some point

[@Smokeyy416]

Carnival was so dope

[@stewman536]

Wow - definitely made me feel old! Been playing the franchise since COD4 and been following your channel for a while Nero! Great content as always.

[@rosethyname]

@NerosCinema Not only did this video make me feel old, but it brought me back to my childhood. True nostalgia. RIP to the golden days of COD, you will be missed.

[@unrefined5156]

I’m not ready for black ops 3 to become a forgotten relic like BO1/2. It holds up so well to this day and it seems like just yesterday I was grinding all the specialists after school.

[@travismorrison2762]

Splash was one of my all time favorite BO3 maps. The water tunnels that cut off mid were OP and apart of the best Call of Duty game OAT

[@joshw128]

Hangar from WaW needs to be brought back

[@sytheopath1241]

Ok BO4 maps were SO GOOD!! Perfect 3 lane design that we all love. Seaside, contraband, frequency!! Those maps were SO underappreciated

[@dickdanson]

Valkyrie is so good. Also worth mentioning that BO4 had some awesome original maps but they will probably be forgotten forever since that game wasnt as popular as the previous black ops games

[@SlammedZero]

Yes, indeed, you did make me feel old Nero. It's absolutely insane where the time has gone. Some of those maps definitely make me nostalgic for the old COD days. Part of me keeps hoping those kind of days will return, but if we are honest with ourselves, those days are long gone. I guess that's what makes them nostalgic. Also of note, I wasn't a big jump-pack COD fan, but I have to admit, I absolutely loved BO3. I think Treyach really nailed it with that game.

[@Iamsamg911]

LETS GO!!!!! Love your content

[@decypher-the-cypher974]

Finally of all the KZbin content creators you finally gave Warhawk it's just due!! I loved Warhawk. I would always pop the campers that like to hang out by that white picket fence between the building and the metal shed. Those were fun times

[@Shamano37]

Makes me wanna go back and play the old games, miss so many of these.

[@DiMECallofDuty]

That's what I am doing the only issue is hackers

[@nicholasarchie6440]

Oh man, London docks Adrian’s forest how great was ww2 I miss it those maps were great. My fav was Egypt a dlc map from ww2

[@zZach___]

Never played WWII so ill replace them with Karachi or Skidrow(MW2), Upheaval or Banzai(W@W), Arkaden or Mission(MW3). Literally any map from Advance Warfare launch or DLC I would take in a heartbeat. The maps were crazy fun, but I think Sideshow would work the best with current movement. Same thing with any DLC map from Ghosts.

[@tawon1984]

Cracked from BO1 and Mission from MW3!

[@supergameruchiha6824]

For me I used to love when they bring back old maps but now they cant even do it right look at Shipment in MW2019 and Vanguard just name Shipment and castle had same Problem in Vanguard

[@soufinator3631]

You didn't lie about feeling old, not only the maps you chose are old, but also the style of this video reminds me of your old top 10s that I used to watch back then, great video Nero and I hope we see some more BO1 classics like Villa and Radiation back one day

[@DainRiffgin89]

COD Ghosts had some awesome DLC maps, with Fog being one, but also ones like Mutiny (a pirate town), Departed (a Dia de Los Muertos celebration), Goldrush (an Old West mining town), and so on. Those maps felt like the devs were having fun with the maps, and I would love to see them not only return, but also new maps like them.

[@mexraymakers]

Cod ghosts was such a fun DLC game! I remember watching youtubers like AliA play the new maps and being so excited about them. Can’t believe it’s almost 10 years ago 🤯

[@DainRiffgin89]

@@mexraymakers the map specific kill streaks were also so much fun. Michael Myers, Death Mariachi, a pirate ship broadside, ghost wolves, THE PREDATOR!!!! Loved how creative it was, though it would be tricky to try something like that nowadays.

[@Superiormomo]

Nero you're the GOAT for giving me so much nostalgia.

[@iTGrover]

Discovery from BO1 was a very unique map that was severely underrated

[@JLidxn]

Valkyrie was actually a remake of Detroit from AW so technically that was remade

[@PaoWeezy91]

Trailer park hit me hard, I graduated High school the following weeks after the release 😭😭😭

[@olivermensinger6022]

I really want to know what a boots-on-the-ground remake of Breach from BO3 would look like.

[@Nitroh-]

So many other cool maps from waw and bo1 that never saw the light of day ever again.

[@zombieslayer9304]

Micro from bo3 and sandbox from ww2 were so unique. Damn shame we probably won't get anything like them again

[@kitefromhell]

NERO, Warhawk actually got remastered back in IW in DLC 4!

[@BranDamanYT]

This was just the the throwback video i was looking for. I appreciate your input @nero

[@dom57p]

makin search and destroy is all time. i didnt even wanna hear how old it was lol crazy how long its been

[@sentero1856]

Green band from advanced warfare with the rooftop aquarium was also one of my favorite maps, too

[@pageii960]

Man I was 21 when mw2 dropped thanks Nero for making me feel old af 13 years gosh.

[@bakes1324]

Micro is one of the most underrated maps. Just had a bunch of friends over and we did a split screen safeguard match on micro. So much fun.

[@Blossoming_Fate]

Really went and made a video on abandoned maps and left out the following: Vertigo, Hydro, and Magma from BO2, Hunted, Gauntlet, Rift, Spire, and Citadel from BO3 Those 7 maps are among my favorites in the entire series I can't believe Warhawk took a spot from one of those despite showing up as Heartland in Infinite Warfare.

[@stepmaniagod6799]

Let's get some more top 10s from you!! I enjoy watching them.

[@bruuuuuuuhh]

I think part of the reason they weren't brought back is due to the maps being replaced by other great maps (unlike today like who in their right mind would want a Piccadilly or Santa Seña map come back ever again)

[@ethanp1348]

WaW's Dome from your original list also came back in Vanguard.

[@jordan.7]

Majority of maps in all CODs are forgotten about. The devs only bring back the same remakes.

[@dazgreensmoker669]

I always thought vortex was a map worth bringing back i know it was only designed for a maximum of 3v3 but if they opened up the farmhouse and put something behind it similar in size to front of the building it be could cool ....maybe?

[@SuperBizalz]

3:47 - “Pop” 😂 SODA!!!

[@NikoRavage]

Bay view from Ghosts first DLC is a forgotten gem that I would love to see come back.

[@Aw3someElite6]

I miss when we had creativity in cod! Changing maps up while playing them is something I always loved to see but now we get these maps that don’t have any love in it anymore

[@gameboyadvancedsp6727]

Fun fact: Valkyrie is a remix of Detroit from Advanced Warfare. Look at the layouts and you may see the similarities, similar to what they did to Strikezone (which is a remix of Dome from MW3) and Genesis (which is a remix of Strikezone).

[@jojo_glitching2970]

Warhawk was my favorite map in ghost by far, and that forest with the tower and river was a close second.

[@Cobalt-Blue22.]

Resistance from og MW3 needs a remake. My dad and I always played that map in survival so it would be awesome to experience that map with modern graphics

[@jlcool13]

Im glad you covered so many cod wwii games that is my favorite cod game

[@Cops-Are-stupid]

One of my Favorite maps of all time the the cod developers and people in general all forgot about is Terrace from AW

[@edelgardian]

Dome and Warhawk were brought back in Vanguard and Infinite Warfare

[@adblefty]

WWII looking back had a lot of good maps. Probably the best COD in the past handful CODs

[@jacobjslee]

Warhawk is a great map, but it was redone and made even better in Infinite Warfare (my all time favourite CoD). IW actually has many of my favourite maps ever and Archive is the one that I think needs more love. Lots of outside area and inside area, no constant twists and turns and people waiting around every corner. It featured long sightlines. It was not a large size, but a large medium-size map and it was absolutely terrific for 6v6 team deathmatch - I don't know about other modes because I only play deathmatch.

[@MisterGoldenGamer]

I think Warhawk came back in Infinite Warfare as a DLC map. Can’t blame you for missing that one… none of us played that game lol

[@alexmason4400]

Micro is my favorite map I remember playing it when it came out I didn’t have kids, now my daughter is 6 years old. Makes me feel old

[@SWOL]

You mentioned not having another map like micro, but don’t forget the Toy Soldiers map (can’t remember the name) from WWII. That map was a lot of fun too

[@DirtyFozzy]

Splash is GOATED. Also loved the BO2 movie studio version of Firing Range than the original 😂

Mission Seatown Village Arkaden I’d even argue that lockdown, bootleg, and carbon were very good maps as well. I’d love to see them all come back.

Similar to Micro, I would also like to see Sandbox from WWII again. One of my favorite maps from that game.

Great video as always. That's cool that you are giving a lot of love to WWII. I loved every map in WWII except for Carentan and Dunkirk and sometimes V2. WWII had such a great MP map selection to play on after all of the added free maps and the map packs. I liked the close quarter maps where I could use the shotty and shield. Pretty much every possible layout for maps was used. Where is Shipment 1944 again? That was perfect tiny map. Every other Shipment map is f*cked up.
