| Classic Nuketown Map is Now Live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 from Activision | ||||||
 As you nurse your Halloween candy hangover and count down to Season 01 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launching on November 14, the iconic Nuketown map is now live in-game for everybody!Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is live, and players have been deploying in droves across the epic Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies game modes. In the first week after launch, two new updates pave the way for Season 01 and beyond with the addition of two Multiplayer favorites: the Infected game mode and the original 1950s Nuketown map. Play Infected the Black Ops 6 Way Infected makes its Black Ops 6 debut just in time for Halloween! With the new Omnimovement system in place, this Party Mode takes on a whole new life… for the living and the undead. Cheat death — or add to the undead ranks — with the most fluid movement mechanics to date. For new and returning players, an Infected match begins with one player randomly assigned as the starting infected. The infected player’s goal is to eliminate all other players. Each time a survivor is eliminated, they will join the ranks of the undead, while the remaining survivors must keep the horde at bay until the match timer runs out. Classic Nuketown Arrives The original Nuketown is back! This homage to the version players first encountered in Call of Duty: Black Ops is an exact — though graphically much improved — version of the original, keeping the classic 1950s design of the Nevada testing site. For first-time Nuketowners and returning veterans alike, here’s the lay of the land: The Streets of Nuketown Built by Veteran Treyarch Map designer Adam Hoggatt and released as part of Call of Duty: Black Ops in November 2010, this remaster remains extremely faithful to the original design and layout of the map, even down to the precise placement of parked vehicles and other scenery harking back to the original three-lane design. This is Nuketown in its most original form, with a bright and bleached desert landscape, and even a double rainbow to gaze at, taking you all the way back to where it all began. Hoggatt gave a little more insight into this remastered version of his original creation. Although rumored to have been designed in just two days, it’s been a fan favorite for 14 years: "The original Nuketown has always been my favorite, mainly because of how it came about and how the studio rallied around it,” Hoggatt said. “Recently, it occurred to me that many of our current players have never experienced the original, so they get to feel the Nuketown magic for the first time.” But Hoggatt also expressed excitement for players familiar with the original map. “I'm excited that we are bringing back the original Nuketown exactly as you remember it but looking better than ever! Those players will definitely be hit with a big wave of nostalgia. I can't wait!" For even more info about the November 1st update, visit: CallofDuty.com |
