In our article, we will discuss the best multiplayer maps of this hit game from Treyarch. We’ll recall favorite positions and pathways into the enemy camp. It is the locations, decorations that create the lion's share of the atmosphere and fun that prevail in multiplayer battles.
Array

A snow-covered military base, a huge radar, and many open spaces. The Array is one of the two largest locations in the CoD: BO multiplayer. The map is beloved by all sniper rifle and long-range combat enthusiasts.
There is also plenty of room for other players. Intense CQB (Close Quarters Battle) fights occur around, inside the radar. Numerous paths are provided for flanking maneuvers.
Jungle

Vietnamese jungles, narrow passages with sharp turns perfectly reflect the essence of the war of those times. The map is loved by fans of close combat and fast-paced rushes. In the "Headquarters" mode, some sections of this zone turn into absolute chaos.
It is in Jungle that players can truly implement the soldier customization system. Donning ghillie suits, applying war paint, players can, in some situations, create real diversions behind enemy lines.
NukeTown

The legendary map of the first Black Ops. A territory where the most intense and chaotic battles occur. The location was so successful that reissues of it can be found in other parts of CoD: BO.
Players love NukeTown for its compactness, balance. There is no room for campers and no time to think much. Only fast-paced gameplay accompanied by airstrikes, grenade explosions.
Summit

Another snow-covered location that became a hallmark of the first Black Ops. Its narrow but long corridors are forever remembered for prone machine gunners, futile attempts to escape death from the air.
Summit, like other BO multiplayer maps, has its fans, detractors. It offers quite a unique gameplay experience with its own pros and cons but remains a top location for battles.
Launch

Perhaps one of the most spectacular multiplayer maps in the game. The Baikonur Cosmodrome, with a huge rocket at the center of the zone, made an incredible impression on gamers at the time. The number of absurd deaths during launches, as players were mesmerized by the rocket engines' ignition, is hard to imagine.
Apart from the decorations, Launch provides all the conditions for dynamic rush gameplay with a submachine gun in hand. Sharp corners and transitions leave no chance for campers, but let’s not forget about quick-scopers and masters who have honed their skills for years.
Crisis

Fans of methodical shooting from a single position will love this map. Its multi-level design, numerous vantage points, and ample open space make it a sniper’s paradise. Veteran players will surely remember cursing at opponents with machine guns perched atop the water tower.
But Crisis also has an important aspect that many BO players forget. The territory has too many hiding spots, so don’t expect to get 5–7 kills with a helicopter, as the enemy always has a place to hide.
Havana

A typical urban location, which is relatively rare in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Close-combat enthusiasts feel at home here, thanks to the dense construction.
In Havana, there are a few small houses, a couple of larger buildings, and streets + alleys between them. Submachine guns, shotguns reign supreme here. An interesting fact: the map is almost an exact replica of a town in Cuba.

Black Ops boasts superb level design that modern shooters can envy. The maps are diverse and satisfy fans of various gameplay styles, from snipers and campers to relentless rushers. Among all the locations in the game, it’s hard to say which is better or worse: it’s a matter of personal preference. The main thing is to enjoy the process.
