Rumor: 'Black Ops 4' May Only Have a Dozen Maps At Launch

4.6
When it comes out in just a few weeks, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have multiplayer options galore, including three Zombies campaigns; traditional multiplayer; and the new Blackout mode. However, one reports suggest that, when it comes to traditional multiplayer, there may not be as many maps as some players are hoping.



This comes via a report from Mp1st, which indicates that the game will only see around 12 maps when it launches this October. It did some calculating and came up with this number, including looking at the maps that were previously announced by Treyarch.

On top of that, only about two-thirds of those maps will be new, since four of them will be remakes of popular maps from previous Call of Duty games. And don’t forget that one of them will also be a variation of Nuketown, a fan favorite that’s continued to see traction in the Call of Duty games.

While speaking with Game Informer, studio design director David Vonderhaar was asked just how many maps would be available at launch. He didn’t provide an exact count, but did state that “you guys know” what all the maps are going to be.

For that matter, MP1st has provided a list, which you can see below. Keep in mind that Nuketown isn’t included.

Seven New Maps:


  • Arsenal
  • Contraband
  • Frequency
  • Gridlock
  • Hacienda
  • Payload
  • Seas Side


Four Remade Maps:
  • Firing Range
  • Jungle
  • Slums
  • Summit


The MP1st author made note that this was disappointing compared to previous games (which had around 15 maps or more), though it still offers a decent amount of variety for what players will be getting into next month. And who knows, Treyarch may have a surprise or two up their sleeve in time for the game’s launch, not to mention what it already has planned for post-release DLC, which will actually come much sooner than previous games. (That means you’ll be getting more maps to run through, provided you subscribe to the Black Ops Pass that’s being offered.)

We’ll see what pops up when Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 releases on October 12 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

I was hoping blackout would be trash so I could skip this cod but I liked it better than most br's so far so I'm buying it regardless lol

I'm honestly not that bothered about this.. Yes it's 12 maps, No there's no a campaign but they've put a lot of time into Multiplayer, BlackOut, Zombies.. There's way more content in Zombies than there has been ever? Maps on launch that is, I could be wrong don't qoute me on that.

- 12 Multiplayer Maps, sure it's not the best.. but it's not horrible if I enjoy the game I don't care for there only being 12 maps lmao

Eternity I don't know where this article got it's info, but this shouldn't be a surprise.

Black Ops 3 launched with 12 maps, too. Only later were maps added to the game.

I hope less maps means *better* maps. Then the number is more justified.


Exactly 12 maps has literally been the usual count in just about every game


And every game is a money pit that you have to pay for more maps for.

Colzeyy a dozen is still a decent amount, me personally im not a fan of tons of maps

Are you for real? The game doesn't even have a campaign. All it has is BR and multiplayer consisting of 12 maps... Unelss of course you want to shell out another $60 on a season pass so you can get a few more. Only $120 for a game without a half assed game without a campaign and only 12 maps at the beginning, what a steal.


Let's not forget that CoD is notorious for having 1-2 at least in every game that everyone hates to play on. So 12 can really be dwindled down to 10. Just from the beta I already dislike one map.

Not surprising. Cod usually lacks a lot of maps at the start. Money money money from that dlc/season pass
