The best map from the original Modern Warfare ends up second on this list. Crash – Modern Warfare & Modern Warfare 2 It was so much fun playing Domination and picking off enemies trying to capture the B flag or rush your spawn.
But once you got up there and set up camp, you had one of the best spots in the entire game. It took a monumental effort and an insane amount of luck to get up on top of the south building as anyone who tried it knows. Who amongst us never tried to hit that sniper shot across the map immediately upon spawning? Or tried to hit that do-or-die trickshot off the crane in the final seconds of Search and Destroy?Īnd I haven’t even mentioned the king of all secret spots.
It also included some of the best spots in the entire trilogy. Highrise is also brilliant to play, with the myriad of underground passages, open areas and long sightlines allowing all playstyles to thrive. I mean, fighting on top of a massive skyscraper whilst World War 3 rages on in the mist far below you isn’t something you find in many first person shooters. Favela – Modern Warfare 2Īs a concept, Highrise perfectly reflects the absolute bonkers nature of MW2. There were plenty of opportunities for some close-quarters combat in the multiple houses on the street beyond the dried up riverbed. Importantly though, snipers didn’t completely dominate like on other large maps *cough* Wasteland *cough*.
Unsurprisingly, some of the most intense battles on Overgrown took place over this house. Meanwhile, more aggressive snipers and those using assault rifles could find success by locking down Grandma’s House and watching over most of the map from the roof. With so much long grass on the north side and an abandoned petrol station to the east, a particularly stealthy sniper could shoot anyone who happened to run past them before moving onto another spot. Like with most big maps, Overgrown was a sniper’s dream. Who knew? Overgrown manages to bucks that trend though and is a great example of a big map done right. Turns out, most people don’t like running around for minutes at a time without seeing anyone. Because of that, large maps don’t tend to do well, nor do they become very popular. Skidrow – Modern Warfare 2Ĭall of Duty has always been built around run-and-gun gameplay and racking up loads of kills. But at the same time, the map encouraged enough long range encounters so snipers and assault rifles could get in on the action too.Ī real triumph in design if you ask me, and of course, with the esports scene alive and well with Call of Duty at the fore of the action, you can also get involved by betting on Call of Duty matches should you so wish.
And if you didn’t fancy some close-quarters combat inside, there were plenty of opportunities to rack up some big killstreaks outside too.īecause of the sheer amount of close-quarters engagements, Vacant was one of the few maps where shotgunning was a truly viable option. But that same design also gave you the potential to rack up a ton of kills by allowing you to flank and outmanoeuvre your opponent. The maze-like design of the building meant that an enemy could be lurking around every corner. Matches here were fast, frantic and unpredictable. The first COD4 map to make the list, Vacant took place in an abandoned Russian office block.
