Treyarch designers “weren’t always good” at multiplayer maps

4.4
The Annihilation map pack represents Treyarch’s growing skills as level designers, David Vonderhaar has said.“We’re very concerned about pathing through the map. You want to make sure players can navigate the map in a consistent fashion. You want your main paths, to say, be wider than your flanking paths – tell a vocabulary in a visual story there,” the Black Ops design director told Gamefront.

“And what we’ve learned over time is that we weren’t always good at that.

“[But] we’ve gotten better at that and it’s become just part of our D.N.A. … So you’re seeing in the map packs this evolution of our thinking, and Annihilation represents exactly what we’re talking about here. … I think anything Treyarch does long-term will be more cognizant of it.”

Annihilation is the third map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops, and is available now on Xbox Live, with other platforms to follow.

Ha yea there getting better? Thats funny because play Hazard the golfcourse... It's just Cliffside from Waw! They recycled the same exact layout look at what you have a cliff a big open sniper range a little tunnel thing from the cliff with a small base covering it even the cover in the field and little buildings are all positioned the exact same! Take a look sometime you'll see ....

Like every game the retail maps included with the initial release are always the best. Try and prove me wrong.

They are not very good at making multiplayer maps, but they are good at making zombie maps.

You haven't been good at multiplayer maps but you have done fantasitic work on zombies i respect you for that but you should listen to people more for the multiplayer maps i've always pefered infinity wards multiplay maps but you have zombies and thats what i enjoy and other people would agree on me but you should make a different game for zombies and make at least 10 zombie maps for that and keep making dlcs and sell it for 400 microsoft points

I agree and still agree that they aren't good. Saying that the flanking paths should be smaller is wrong. 'Strike' for example from cod4, had both a small and large flanking way and a big middle area... Treyarch's maps are boring and nothing to do with the campaign...And I hate the new ones...
