Summary
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’smaps are some of themost polarizing in franchise history. As is so often the case, some maps are more popular than others, but the divide seems bigger than ever this year.
Now that the dust has begun to settle, around two months after the game launched, players have started to develop their own ‘skip lists’ and have been sharing the mapson Redditthat they refuse to play.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Share The Maps They Won’t Play
The discussion was started on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6subredditby user ExpensiveLeg939, who shared that they refuse to play Hacienda, which was added in Season One, due to the fact that it has “way too many campers.” It’s a very valid point, but was far from the most popular in the thread.
Lowtown
While Hacienda failed to gain much traction as an ‘insta-skip’, one map that did wasLowtown. The discussion around the partly submerged map rose to the top of the thread, with one playersaying, “This is the answer. Lowtown is not fun.”
Some were willing to give it a pass in the game’s traditional modes but for Prop Hunt, Lowtown was almost universally hated. “I don’t mind Lowtown for regular game modes. But Prop Hunt, it’s an instant leave,” said one player.
Nuketown
Surprisingly, the fan-favorite map Nuketown was another popular pick as an ‘insta-leave’ map, or at least a map players don’t like playing.
In the discussion, WafffleProfessorsaid, “I don’t leave any matches based on the map, but I sure am sick of seeing Nuketown,” to which AtlasExiled replied, “With how bad the majority of the vanilla maps are, it feels like this game is shoving Nuketown down our throats.”
YeezusKeroro perhaps summed up the general sentiment around Nuketown best when they said, “As it stands, it’s a meat grinder on par with Shipment. you may’t move an inch without being in five different sight lines. I think I prefer Rust.”
Scud
Arguably, the third most popular pick in the thread was Scud, the Iraq-based map.
“I hate Scud so much. Absolute disaster of a map, no rhyme or reason to any of it, and a bunch of s**t in the way of everything. It’s got nothing going for it,“saiddylthevylan. It was so hated, in fact, that one player said it belonged in the “top 10 worst CoD maps maybe ever.”
While these three were certainly the most divisive, maps like Red Card, Protocol, Vorkuta, and Babylon popped up multiple times during the discussion. It’ll be interesting to see which new maps come later in the game, and if they’re able to change player sentiment.
