Tactical variety across urban, frozen, nautical, and futuristic settings
Blackheart
Venture offshore to a Guild drilling platform, extracting vital resources from the ocean. Battle around the central drill or push to the barge packed with mineral containers, pumps, and massive nautical machinery. Sweep through the diving bell to flank enemies, but watch your footing near the grinder pit. The tight quarters make for hectic close-range fights, so SMGs and shotguns dominate here. Map control often hinges on who holds the drill platform first.
Colossus
Infiltrate the luxury Colossus Resort as it slips deeper into the Caribbean Sea after sustaining catastrophic damage. Fight through the atrium and bar, the maintenance decks, and the baggage claim. Outside, wrecked helipads and floating debris form deadly thoroughfares above the waves. Verticality plays a big role, with multiple interior floors providing opportunities for ambush. The open rooftops are risky but rewarding for snipers.
Cortex
A cliffside compound in the Mediterranean Sea hides a Guild laboratory conducting classified experiments. Fight through containment chambers and the adjoining morgue, locking down the underpass to control the heart of the facility, or take the high-risk flanking route across the narrow skybridge overlooking the water. Long sightlines are balanced by tight interior corners, making loadout flexibility essential. The morgue often becomes a choke point during hardpoint and control matches.

Den
High above the valley, a sprawling Japanese feudal castle-turned Guild tech-fortress dominates the landscape. Clash in the central courtyard, push through the dojo and conference room, or cross the damaged rooftops linking the armory and garage. Agility and map control are your greatest allies here. Den rewards quick movement and wall-jumping, especially in objective-based modes like Domination. The rooftop route offers risky but powerful flanking potential.
Exposure
Deploy deep into the Australian Outback, to an installation at the center of a vast solar array, left scarred by a fierce tank assault. Engage opponents across the open grounds, climb the suspended Guild crate to gain height, or use the tower, pumps, and storage units for cover in the heat of battle. The solar panels provide mid-range skirmishes with plenty of angles to contest. Expect frequent grenade exchanges in the lower corridors.
Express
The iconic high-speed train station returns, now operated by Sunrise Railways. Fight across the tracks, within the parked bullet train, and through the terminal’s walkways. Watch the control room for sharpshooters and stay clear of those incoming trains. As in Black Ops 2, timing train passes is crucial for survival. The upper platform is a high-traffic power position for domination points.

Flagship
Fight beneath a decommissioned aircraft carrier undergoing repairs off the coast of the USA. Battle through the underbelly of the ship, where an ascender grants access to the gantry above, or move beyond the hull into the active worksite. Sparks, steel, and close-quarters skirmishes define this confined arena. Shotgun users thrive in the hull’s narrow hallways. High ground on the gantry offers commanding sightlines for objective defense.
Hijacked
The legendary superyacht is back, now anchored in Tokyo Bay. The action never lets up as you battle from bow to stern, colliding on the center deck where all lanes meet. Stay alert for duels between opposing vantage points or drop below deck to settle scores in the engine room. The enclosed space leads to constant action with minimal downtime. Expect grenades and killstreaks to be especially lethal here.
Homestead
Return to David Mason’s childhood home in the Alaskan wilderness beneath the Northern Lights. Engage within the cabin or traverse the icy terrain to flank opponents. Watch for movement in the outbuildings, and dive into the freezing water to reposition, assuming you can endure the chill. The slippery snow can affect movement, and underwater routes give sneaky players a chance to surprise. Outbuildings offer cover but limited visibility.
Imprint
On a remote Alaskan cliffside, enter a frozen robotics complex manufacturing drones and battle tanks for the Guild through industrial 3D printing. Fight through inner corridors branching around the core facility and along icy ledges where long-range engagements dominate. Activate the inclinator control panels for a lift through the snow-covered exterior. The elevation shift adds vertical strategy, and the core facility becomes a central control zone in objective modes. Watch for snipers locking down outer lanes.
Paranoia
Something’s wrong at the hospital… but is it real or inside Mason’s mind? One area appears normal, while the other fractures into a psychological nightmare, with floating debris and crimson light cutting through the ceiling and walls. Hold your ground, keep your wits, and survive the split between reality and hallucination. Sudden visual shifts keep players off balance. The map’s dual-realm mechanic adds variety but can disorient new players.
Raid
Experience luxury and lethality as this lavish beachside mansion returns, now set along Japan’s undulating hillside coast. Trade fire across the courtyard and circular drive, clear rooms through the open-plan interior, leave room for a basketball court showdown, and dive into the pool for a tactical retreat. Movement is key, with wall-running and jump spots offering surprise angles. Snipers dominate the driveway, while SMGs control interior fights.

Retrieval
A Guild stealth aircraft has crashed in the frozen Alaskan tundra, scattering wreckage across the snow. Engage through ice caverns, frozen streams, and jagged outcroppings. Use the crash site’s underpasses near its encrypted payload and discarded cargo areas to ambush advancing enemies amid the bitter cold. The terrain offers natural cover but makes flanking risky. Ambush tactics thrive in the cave sections.
Scar
Combat erupts in Silverbrook, a rugged Alaskan town blending frontier charm with heavy military presence. Battle insurgents through the general store, health clinic, and Old Bear Restaurant, or take elevated positions from the motel balcony. The streets are old, but the warfare is cutting-edge. Stronghold-style holdouts work well in buildings, while rooftops reward those with strong aim and positioning.
The Forge
Welcome to the Guild’s cutting-edge R&D hub, a harbor complex devoted to autonomous weapon design and prototyping. Navigate between twin wings connected by covered walkways and converge on the central range, where rotating walls protect a defense turret. Every corridor here is a test chamber. The rotating defenses create shifting sightlines and force quick adaptations. Expect traps, ambushes, and fast flanks through vent routes.
Toshin
A high-speed Guild monorail derailment ignites chaos in a neon-lit Japanese shopping district. Battle through the park, market, and upper walkways surrounding the wrecked derailment. Take advantage of verticality and sightlines across the thoroughfare; fast reflexes and street sense are key to surviving this urban fight. The vibrant layout provides visual cover and multiple angles. Look up often — many attacks come from above.
Mission: Edge
Battle through Avalon’s downtown core, a high-rise district of hotels, cafes, and courtyards. Scale ascenders to gain the upper floors or stick to the streets for intense vehicle combat. Capture rooftops, claim zones, and secure victory across this vertical urban warzone. Vehicle chokepoints and rooftop campers define the early meta. Coordination and teamwork are essential in this sprawling layout.
Mission: Tide
Fight across a fortified coastal installation on Avalon’s shores. Engage on the beaches and rocks before breaching the compound’s towering walls. Inside, navigate the armory, mess hall, and barracks via foot or vehicle, while climbing towers and catwalks for commanding sightlines across the map. Objective areas are often wide open, so cover and smoke are your best friends. This map rewards aggression and flanking through side halls.
