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.

GibbityTree Treyarch, you have always been terrible at making games period, maps are even worse. It's a shame you need to release DLC every month, just to keep the players from getting bored. Please, stop making games in general.


No, I think its you in general who sucks at playing the game. They make awesome maps. The only reason Treyarch made black ops is
1. There just down right better then InfinityWard
2. They felt Bad that we had to play a shitty game called modern warfags 2 for a decent FPS.
3. They release a DLC every month cause there that great. InfinityWard could have a "PERFECT" map pack sent from god himself, and they still would take forever to release it.


Your nothing but a Treyarch fanboy. Keep enjoying your terrible FPS made by a terrible company.

Codster333 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 ....
exactally treyarch is horrible the only reason i bought the maps is for zombies


You guys are so dumb. THEY REMADE THE MAP, you guys are honestly stupid and can not watch one of their videos about the map pack SAYING that they remade cliffside and that was the surprise they had. Get your facts straight.
