When Do New Black Ops 4 Maps Come Out
Every new map headed to Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in Season 2.
Four new maps are headed to Black Ops Cold War in Season 2. This includes one new 6v6 map, a daylight "strike" version of Miami, a new large-team map and one additional Gunfight map (though we really badly need two or three new ones).
I have to say, Black Ops Cold War has really improved since launch, both in terms of how it plays and the content available. But I really wish Treyarch and Activision would hone their focus. Fireteam—now apparently referred to as Multi-Team—feels like a sideshow and a waste of resources. The mode is a mess and what little I've played of it feels overly chaotic and not terribly fun.
Instead of focusing on so many different types of game mode, Treyarch should focus on 6v6 multiplayer, Combined Arms (big team) and Gunfight. All the time and resources spent on Multi-Team could be put to better use with more modes and maps in 6v6 and so forth.
I would rather see two new Gunfight maps and two new 6v6 maps or even replace one of those with a new Combined Arms map than see yet another Multi-Team map. Maybe that's just me, but I don't get the feeling most of the Black Ops community is super thrilled with that mode. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Here are the new maps releasing in Season 2 free for all players:
Apocalypse (6v6) (Launch Week)
Apocalypse
Apocalypse is the new jungle map. I'm still crossing my fingers for a jungle Warzone map, though. Think how cool that would be!
"Welcome to the Lao jungle cartel base in the heart of the Golden Triangle: Apocalypse. As Perseus forces are rumored to be hiding key intel in their stronghold in Laos, the CIA's finest approach the village ready to extract any evidence they can on the Nova 6 supply line… and Adler's whereabouts.
"This small-to-medium sized map is built for aggressive Operators, funneling action under stilted buildings and through the temple fortress. Give chase to the enemy through the buildings and temple, making sure not to be too distracted from the glint of gold being loaded into the trucks on the main road."
Golova (Multi-Team) (In-Season)
Golova
Here's the big new Multi-Team map. I just can't get excited about this. There are already plenty of these. We need new MP and Gunfight maps and a new Warzone map.
"Golova appears to be a traditional Russian village located within the picturesque Ural Plains, but beneath its surface, it holds a dark secret embedded by its designer and creator, Nikita Dragovich.
"A testing ground for the expansion of the Numbers Program, Golova features plenty of close-quarter combat opportunities throughout the town, from a massive church to its rows of houses and industrial park. The stair-stepped terrain on which the town was built still provides some long-range firefight opportunities but encourages tighter, CQB play around its objective areas."
Mansion (2v2, 3v3) (In-Season)
Mansion
Judging by the image above, this looks similar to "Atrium" from Modern Warfare, though it has two courtyards instead of one. It's set in Cuba and you'll recall a similar, though much more expansive, area in the campaign.
"The action in Gunfight and Face Off is about to heat up with this mid-season addition to the map pool.
Set in Havana, Cuba at the Hefe Mansion (last seen in the Campaign's "End of the Line" mission), this small map takes place across both courtyards: an eastern one with two palm trees and a gazebo, and a western one with a statue sitting atop a non-functional fountain. These open courtyards contrast to a center wrapped room with a small side hallway and an exposed balcony that can serve as a risky power position.
Expect action to be head-on and frenetic, especially when the overtime zone comes into play at the dead center of the main hall."
Miami Strike (6v6) (In Season)
A smaller daytime version of Miami sounds great. I like the aesthetic of the original map but it's too big and visibility can still be tricky to the point of frustrating. Like the "strike" versions of the Combined Arms maps, I bet I'll like this one more.
"Rise and shine, Miami… because soon, it will be time to infiltrate Ocean Park Drive during the day.
"With the sun glistening off the colorful murals of Miami's South Beach neighborhood, Miami Strike will focus the action into a smaller daytime rendition of the original map. Whether it's a white-knuckle game of TDM or a tense Hardpoint battle, the heat is always on in the streets of Miami."
And that's all folks! Lots of other new content is headed to Cold War in Season 2, including a brand new "large-scale Zombies" experience which you can read about here.
