Five Black Ops Trilogy Maps Returning In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

In a Black Ops IIII multiplayer livestream today, Treyarch have revealed that five fan favorite maps from previous Black Ops games will be returning to Black Ops IIII. Jungle is the first one up, and was first featured in Black Ops. It’s a fairly large map, set in a forested area that some would perhaps describe as a… jungle? It’s in Vietnam, and features a lot of sniper sight lines and open areas, along with some close passageways.

Slums is the next one up, and was arguably one of the best maps in Black Ops II. It’s set in… slums, in Panama during the 1980s. A statue is the focal point of the map, with some large streets and alleys running parallel, along with two main buildings either side of the fountain. Treyarch like their blatantly descriptive map names.

Summit is the third map, and is another one from the first Black Ops. It’s a close quarters map set in a snowy mountain facility, and has a lot of verticality and variety in the buildings and routes on offer. There’s three traditional lanes, but each one intersects with the others at multiple points.

The fourth map is our favorite of the bunch: Firing Range. A very small map set in a training facility in Cuba, it lends itself to fast paced action in several small buildings, along with a tall lookout tower in the middle. It was also remade in Black Ops II as Studio.

Finally, the map everyone has played at one point or another: Nuketown. We’ve had various versions of Nuketown over the years, from Nuketown 2025 to Nuk3town, and it’s unconfirmed if this one will be a classic remake of the original or if it will have a wacky twist. We do know that it’ll be small, the action will be frantic, and there will be two houses facing each other at the end of a cul-de-sac.

The four maps playable at E3 were also announced during the live stream; Contraband, Seaside, Payload, and Frequency. We don’t know how they’ll play yet though, as there’s no full game footage of them anywhere. In other Call of Duty news, the community reveal for Black Ops IIII was the most watched Call of Duty reveal ever. Who says the franchise is dying?
