Basically only 8 6v6 maps at launch as 3 are just scaled down GW maps.

Yep. Worst part is the 2 maps for season 1 (shipment and shoothouse) that are heavily rumored by leakers aren’t comp compatible either so we’re gonna have slim pickings
47
No wonder they switched to a Bo7 in finals 😂
30
I see no comp issues with 5v5 hardpoint on shipment.
21
4v4 my man
5
Sounds like we’ll also have to rely on those for our meat grinder fix again. No higher player count option for the 6v6 maps as far as I’ve seen. Those were honestly the most fun I’ve had in pubs in years on both vanguard blitz and cold war’s 12v12 moshpit. Shit was bananas in the best way possible.
3
Yeah that system was like the one good thing from Vanguard.
1
I am so fucking tired of shipment. They need to let that map die
1
I don’t think they realize the reason it’s always the most played map is because all of their other maps tend to suck ass
4
Lmao pretty much and it’s so small that Timmy no thumbs has a chance to get a few free kills

Maps can make or break a game. I don’t get how we’re this far into the shooter genre and maps aren’t held to a higher regard.
SOCOM 2 launched in 2003 with 22 multiplayer maps. They added three more via game disc and HDD. MWII is launching with half that number and some of them may not have even been designed with MP in mind.
This concerns me

I’ll never understand how many times Activi$ion has to beat people’s heads with a stick to get people to finally understand they could not care any less about multiplayer. Warzone is their moneymaker— All of their resources and efforts are directed towards Warzone, Multiplayer is an afterthought that is intended only to provide a place to level up Warzone weapons and will continue to be so until Warzone stops making them money.
The sooner everyone realizes and accepts this, the sooner you’ll stop being shocked and confused by their decisions. From this perspective, literally all of their decisions make complete sense.

Warzone and don’t forget CoD mobile. Activision loves milking those Chinese consumers pockets.
3
They may stop caring about warzone as well if DMZ and looter shooters (Tarkov) become the next big thing as so many people seem to think.
2
the tarkov mode is just on the warzone 2 map, so it’s the same thing
4
If they’re sole model is Warzone, why even make COD anymore?
2
because people still pay for the game every year when warzone is free.
6
Cold War did the same thing with crossroads, not saying that map was great but it was at least kinda fun so I mean this doesn’t fully mean it’s chalked
30
Tru but CW was a sledgehammer game that treyarch had to fix in 8 months so I can see why they did that

I see no issue in having areas of bigger maps be designed for 6v6. It's efficient use of resources. Just have to hope the maps are actually good, unlike MW19.
11
I mean yes if they were designed with 6v6 in mind first
1
The number of maps is almost irrelevant, quality is what matters. If they had 6 maps and all six of them were great for casual and comp id be fine with that. Vanguard had what, 16 at launch? And look where we ended up.
9
You must be new, IW don’t make great maps. Quantity is needed with them just so you can hope they create something good by accident
-1†
Lol no I'm not new. I'm aware IW don't make good maps. I just don't think they're going to accidentally create a good map. I'd rather them spend time creating less maps and hope their quality increases.
7
Point is we all know IW don’t intentionally design good maps, I mean the more they make the better chance of more being viable
1
What happened to Terminal and Shoothouse 2.0 that were supposed to come with launch? Have they really scrapped those now?
8
Wonder how many maps are prepped and ready to go, but are being held back for Y2 release
7
Apparently a lot of MW2 remasters
6
Well yes but the rumour is they will be paid DLC to compensate no game next year, so still no excuse not to have more ready at launch. Comp is kinda fucked season starts earlier so by the time any potentially viable maps release we might be too far in the season
4
Oh yeah season 1 is probably chalked map wise. Hopefully they completely overhaul the map pool going into season 2.
2
The fact that they are making us pay for 10 year old maps is some bullshit
1
Raceway better be good for all 3 modes
6
Pretty sure shottzy said it wasn't viable in his opinion.
4
Shottzy is a troll though, guy said CTF was the 3rd mode. Race map was supposedly the map they had good feedback on from pros
1
I’ll take quality over quantity, vanguard had like 16 maps i think at launch? And they were mostly all horrible, i hope that at least half of the maps are viable
4
Weve seen 4 of the 11. Only 1-2 were ok. 2 sucked
2†
Which ones sucked?
1
I thought i was being generous only saying 2.

Crossroads was the same in CW and we were playing that in comp.
Had to be removed later not because of map design but because of spawns
3
I'm not making excuses for the lack of content in what's supposed to be a 2 year game, but at least they split the larger maps into 6v6 maps. Seems like something that should be easy to do yet there have been COD's where the devs didn't even bother.
Now for the elephant in the room, are they out of their mind to think this is acceptable? 11 maps? Two year game? We better get maps on a monthly basis otherwise I'll lose interest
3
Go back to play valorant
2
Is the Marina Bay Grand Prix map now called Crown Raceway?
2
Yes
2
We're so fucked. Gonna have to prepare myself for Scump's retirement
2
Fingers crossed the 3 maybes end up being decent
1
Given how the beta maps weren't good, this is looking like a real unfortunate time for anyone who plays at any serious level.
1
I remember not liking the MW2019 maps. Y'all let me know what you think of this game's maps. Skipping it.
1
Do we know if there will be any modes larger than 6v6? Besides ground war ofc
1
WZ 😂

Zarqwa Hydroelectric LMAOOOO. Yall have fun on this game.

I fuckin hate the way IW names their maps.
Like, when you look back at some of your favorite maps, you can say them in one word nice and easy. Terminal, Standoff, Hijacked.
No one is gonna say "oh yeah dude I love Santa Sena Border Crossing" Like just call it fucking "border" or "border crossing" and be done with it. I know this is nitpicky but goddamn I can't stand that shit.
I disagree. Elegant Eastside Townhouse on a Sunny Tuesday Afternoon in June is my fav cod map hands down
you actually liked Elegant Eastside Townhouse on a Sunny Tuesday Afternoon in June? always hated that map. I was more of a fan of October 2011 Family Reunion at the Childhood Home of Grandfather Near the Tennessee River Where Everyone Wore Jackets Because it was Chilly.
I'm dead 💀
Haha holy shit.
I didn’t know i hated this till now but thank you but also i’m furious now
They name maps like they’re trying to hit a word count for an essay
That's exactly what it's like lmao
it's another part of the game that died for "realism" or some shit
Lmaoo it’s because they are parts of GW/Warzone map, 6v6 is an afterthought sadly. It’s actually inexcusable they are charging the amount they do and we get 8 maps that were designed for 6v6 first

I’m not going to lie, I didn’t read the list and thought you were just making up a random map name
