Worst Map in Black Ops

jimbling · 07-12-2010 05:11PM #1

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.

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

super_furry · 07-12-2010 05:23PM

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 · 07-12-2010 05:42PM

Crisis of course!

So unbalanced.

jimbling · 07-12-2010 05:57PM

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.

Def one of the worst all right.

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 · 07-12-2010 06:15PM

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 · 07-12-2010 07:41PM

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

Mithrid · 07-12-2010 08:04PM

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 · 07-12-2010 08:14PM

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

super_furry · 07-12-2010 08:15PM

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 · 08-12-2010 11:26AM

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.

Professional Griefer · 09-12-2010 01:51AM

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 · 09-12-2010 01:58AM

Crisis for sure.

Angron · 09-12-2010 01:59AM

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 · 09-12-2010 09:11AM

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.

Stopped reading there..

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.

09-12-2010 01:14PM

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 · 09-12-2010 04:01PM

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 · 09-12-2010 04:43PM

WTF!

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

ntlbell · 09-12-2010 05:14PM

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 · 09-12-2010 06:06PM

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!!
