Worst Map in Black Ops

jimbling

Em, so......

I'm going for Nuketown.

As I said in the other thread, I do have fun on the map. With friends or in small groups. But I would love if it wasn't in the game. Every time it pops up in online play I say to myself..."Oh Fck". Mainly because not only do I have to put up with it once, but twice. I'd say 90% of the time Nuketown is immediately voted in again.

So, it may be a stupid reason, but it tops my poll because so many people like this ridiculous map.

Shammy

wmd for objective games , there are so many hiding places on that map people treat it like tdm .

Nuketown could be decent if it was restricted to 5v5, it's simply too small for anything else.

I went for Hanoi, dark, miserable and it feels as if your back is always exposed. Crisis and WMD would be next in line for me.

Willbbz

Crisis of course!

So unbalanced.

jimbling

Pretty surprised at people sticking WMD up there.... would be one of my favourites for sure. Cant fault the map. Although I don't play objective games that often.

Unbalanced? EDIT: Ah right, YouSavedMyLife explained what you mean.....

Nuketown. Its fun now and again, specially when you get a chopper gun or hind up on it, but when your not on your game its the most frustrating thing in any video game ever made ever.

Crisis is one of the worst because its so unbalanced. If I start on the house side on a TDM game i will own. Motion sensor on the bottom floor of the house and I will win the internet. If you start beach side its ****ing hell trying to get inland. All the maps are really great bar Nuketown. Firing Range is a better version of nuketown. Its gives you your hectic rushing gameplay on a small map without being absolutely ****ing ridiculous. Im not surprised by all the hate for Hanoi to be honest. I didnt like it when i first started playing, now everytime it comes up I run my 100% stealth class and its actually enjoyable

super_furry

Hanoi? Really? Wow, it's one of my favourites although that might be because it really discourages camping and is more suited to run and gun.

beertons

Yes, Nuketown the worst. It's just way too small, and the respawn places are crap.

Mithrid

Hiccuped when I saw Hanoi voted as one of the worst.

But different maps favour different game modes so whatever floats your boat!

Kev_ps3

Looks like Nuketown could be boards least and most favorite map.

super_furry

Gotta be a lot of campers voting for Hanoi.

I simply despise the drab, dull and dreary appearance of the map as well as the amount of campers in the main street buildings.

But alas I'am the one who is a camper

jimbling

Delighted to see Nuketown top of the list. Its what I expected, but still..... Hilarious that it's the most loved and most hated map in the game.

I enjoy Nuketown, well most times. Its fun when you got a CG in the air and dogs running around, but its a small bit too small, if they added a 3rd, or even 4th house then it would be half as bad.

I personally hate Array, mostly cause the spawns I always get are WAY too far away from the action. In TDM I usually try to lock down the main building and build my streaks, the motion sensor covers pretty much all of it which makes it a bit too easy and it can be annoying. But in domination, I HATE trying so hard to win the game, getting killed and spawning a mile away from B, which I dedicated my life to protecting.

Kersmash

Crisis for sure.

Angron

Nuketown, mainly for the fact that I keep seeing "Nuketown 24/7" when I look for servers.

Bingo. Remember having a run around of all the maps before properly playing MP like I usually do and couldn't help but just think that myself. Those 2 houses added on the very least and it could have been truly superb IMO.

It's one of those maps that plainly, if you have a CG up at the very least you'll love it but when someone has it up on the enemy team it is horrible

Exactly, its way too linear, its far too easy to throw a grenade or a semtex and have it kill a few people. It needs more space so badly, if it wasn't so damn linear it would be great.

Yeah, will never forget the first time I got a CG on that map, got a triple kill the first time I pressed the shoot button. The spawns on it are a joke, I've seen people sit in the enemies spawn and wait for the other team to spawn there and them get kills. That has honestly gone to big enough kill streaks.

But as well, I think Nuketown is a perfect map for wager matches, its small but its fairly perfect so that it never gets boring and that you'll never spent a few minutes searching for a enemy.:(

I really like nuketown tbh, its probably the best map in blackops or any of the cod games really, for custom games (No killstreaks and all that ****e) really great fun. for a normal public game... its just like rust... ****e unless you get a streak going ! Got 121-19 today on headquarters running around raping people for the craic !!

My least favorite maps are probably crisis and cracked. The maps in this game are superb imo. I'd love if they did a wild west styled map, with buildings either side of a street.. would be immense like the old custom maps on HL and ****.

You know what would be bad ass?

Just imagine a HUGE TDM on the map of Red Dead Redemption, with the horses and stuff, I know it'll never happen and stuff, and I don't know about you guys, but it sounds awesome to me.

gimli2112

Voted launch. Don't hate it it's just had to pick one. 80% of the time I vote for a random map and hope nuketown, summit or firing range come up but I'm ok with any of the maps.

I voted for Firing Range because I find the spawn points there to be even worse than Nuketown. I constantly spawn in front of a shower of bullets :mad:

Like some people said, Nuketown is good fun on wager and barebones matches.

I also hate Arrray - too big. And I hate crisis - it's like 2 separate maps glued together - it's like they couldn't decide which map to choose so they just glued two of them together, with very specific choke points for getting from one side to the other.

Can't believe all the hate Hanoi is getting. Its definitely one of the better ones.

Tbh, overall......the maps in Black Ops are really, really bad. Its like they're too claustrophobic or something. Way too much chance of turning a corner and some sweaty scrub is sitting there bricking himself, aiming at the doorway you just came in. They're all too.......I dunno......simiilar, I suppose? And I think in general they're very small.

Maybe its a combination of them and the spawn points, but its very difficult at times to get an idea of the general direction of the enemy team.

I mean, how many times have you spawned in the outskirts of a map, ran out towards the middle where the acion is, come across an enemy and shoot them in the back, then get shot in the back by another enemy who spawned in the same spot as you about 5 seconds after you?

That sort of thing should never happen, or at least very rarely.

I played COD4 last night for about an hour or so. Haven't played it in prob 4 or 5 months and the only bad map in it is Creek. Every other one has a great mix of open areas and close quarters. MW2 isn't as good in the sense that maps are generally one or the other but BO is just all very........cramped, i suppose.

Edit: Forgot to mention i voted for Jungle......poxiest map of the lot.

Ehh strange :P

but i'd agree that bearclaw camp would make a great map! Same with escalara .

but not the entire game

This is it really, overall they are poor with little or no difference between most of them.

At least Nuketown is looks good.

Wompa1

What classifies as a camper? If I find a good spot I would stay there until nobody comes for a while and then run and gun. I'm not good at the run and gun though. It's like I can shoot right at the guy and still get killed first.

What tactics do you guys use?

cherryghost

WTF!

Launch and Nuketown are both easily two of the worst maps ever made in all of the COD games... EVAR!!!

ntlbell

I was only disliking array and nuketown. but as i'm ramping up a few hours in gameplay there's actually very few of the maps I look forward to playing.

WMD/Grid/Firing Range/Jungle are probably the only maps I genuinley enjoy playing now

Kettle316

Voted for Villa....dont know why but i really hate it with a passion!! If the map gets locked in i immediately leave the game!! Im surprised that it hasnt got more votes!! Its dirt!!

Nuketown is the only map that compares to the great graphics of MW2. I think Black Ops is a better game but the graphics let it down

Glenza69

Nuketown is savage! it's fast paced and how I like it:) for me WMD is the worst map.

sierra117x

i went for array . its a bit big for anything other than objective. tdm can be a bit boring especially if you dont have a full lobby

UnknownSpecies

Yeah I'm going for Array too, it's so annoying when there is a big firefight behind the main building and you get spawned the whole way back at the opposite side! Which would be bearable if it didn't immediately lead you back into trouble up by that stairs, there is always people waiting.

To be honest I think I spend more time on that map actually getting to the enemy than I do shooting them...

Soby

What nuketown the highest voted?Its one of the best.I demand a re count

not moving for a while would usually constitute a level 3 camper, a level 2 camper stays aimed in at a certain area and doesn't move for an extended period of time. A level 1 camper will lie down, and not move, stay aimed in at a high action area such as a door where if someone runs through they will automatically get the kill. When he dies he will return to the same spot and proceed to continue this cycle for the rest of the game. (IMO)

jimbling

Wow, what a fickle COD player I am........ I'm loving Nuketown these days

Davidson2k9

Crisis

Love nuketown because of all the action, then summit/firing range

Everyone has different tastes, i was surprised to see hanoi up there - and no im not a camper i hate camping

I like Hanoi now. Crisis is by far the worst map in the game.

everlast75

Is it ok to discuss Launch here?


I'm confused








:pac::pac::pac::pac:

Cracked is the worst map lads, its the biggest sesspool full of crap ive ever seen, its horrible,

Yakult

How Hanoi didnt win. Such a dull boring map.

Atleast Nuketown is action non stop and just crazy.

Yeh man If I cud skip it every time I would, having to play a game on that is so annoying, only camp me building...

NufcNavan

Crisis. By a mile.

I'd nearly go as far as to say it's the worst Cod map ever.

Cannot think of any worse.

Didnt get Cod4 but heard all the maps were decent.

Bad maps in Waw: Downfall, Roundhouse, Sub Pens. Crisis worse than all of them

Mw2: Underpass, Rundown, Rust. Again, Crisis still sucks balls.

In Bops: Bad maps are Hanoi, Cracked and Crisis. Crisis just has the worst structure to any map I have ever played on.

wannabecop

gotta be hanoi or nuketown hate rerspawning moving 2 feet and getting shot by sum camper watching respawn points

vgv

Jungle seems to be popular but I don't get the appeal of it.I find Grid and Crisis rather bland.Grid in particular seems like an unfinished map to me.It needs some more buildings and detail.These 3 maps I usually vote to skip.Nuketown is the worst IF your team sucks.Unless you can get in the house enemy killstreaks will destroy you.On the other hand if your team is strong it's probably the best.Unlike a lot of people here I don't mind Hanoi.Great map for camping.

Klair88

crisis is the worst in my opinion. jungle, array and nuketown are the best

Dues Bellator

voted for Havana , just never seem to have a good game on it , Hanoi is also a pisser , im also staring to hate dare i say it firing range.
can we vote for 3:pac:
