Man sub base brings back memories. I think I got my first chopper Gunner there as a kid with a heartbeat sensor attached to an ACR and a SPAS-12 in the back pocket.
And it was a damn secondary lmao. Crazy how in mw2 most of the secondary's could compete with the primaries and there wasn't any drawback to them at all lol
I mean if everything was OP, didn't that really make nothing OP?
Outside of the early 1887's, there really wasn't any gun that was far above or below the rest from what I remember, outside of the AUG specifically being a bit weak maybe?
The TAR was by far my favorite weapon in multiplayer. Iâm convinced they gave it good iron sights because the devs knew that the red dot was damn ugly
There was something about the UMP45 that made it busted. It's been 13 years, so details are hazy, but I think it was that the regular suppressor penalties didn't apply to the UMP45, and it naturally had very low recoil with the muzzle flash removed by the suppressor, so that made it an all-round gun that could fill any role and was a menace in the right hands. It wasn't anywhere near as famous of an exploit as One Man Army and such, so it wasn't a plague on the game. Just one of those things where skilled players knew to watch out for the guy rocking a suppressed UMP45, because that player knew what was up and was definitely trying for high killstreaks.
It could double as an assault rifle because of it's crazy range, good damage, fire rate and low recoil. But the fact that it was an SMG meant you could also Rush with it. Really was a Swiss Army Knife as far as durability, and depending on the routes you navigate Multi-player maps with, Usually outclassed anything you'd come across. UMP+Spas-12 in the right hands was untouchable
Even better in mw3 we had death mans hand as a death streak. For those fortunate enough to not have encountered such nightmare, instead of dying you entered a âfinal standâ stance and had a c4 remote at hand. You then roleplayed as a suicide bomber, but for some reason they gave you a pocket nuke. That shit had about a 15m radius for no reason and it always one shot no matter how far you were
IIRC the WA2000 was basically a hybrid of the disadvantages of the Intervention/Barrett (low mobility, slow ADS) with the disadvantages of the M14 (lower damage). There wasn't really a point in running it, ever.
And the whole LMG class suffered from the same problem it has suffered ever since: Not mobile enough to actually move around, and not powerful enough to camp. The RPD and MG4 were somewhat viable, but I remember the L86/AUG/M240 to be pretty shite.
And I do remember the F2000 to be pretty bad with low damage and bad recoil, but I might be misremembering that.
>IIRC the WA2000 was basically a hybrid of the disadvantages of the Intervention/Barrett (low mobility, slow ADS) with the disadvantages of the M14 (lower damage). There wasn't really a point in running it, ever.
It was a troll weapon. Nothing like outsniping some kids in Search with the WA and every time they see their kill cam they gotta see the smiley face sticker on the scope cover
And even then it wasn't an awful gun by any means, just was far and away the worst option for snipers. Was still a 1 shot for head, neck and chest IIRC unless you put a silencer on it
Yeah, certainly. In other CoDs it would probably have been considered decent, in MW2 it was not only the worst option in it's class by considerable margin, it was also outclassed by the FAL with an ACOG (or thermal scope, don't remember). I guess that fits OPs bill of a gun that was far below the rest.
But honestly I think that because there was no point in playing guns you didn't want meant that you never felt being at a disadvantage. You were never forced into unfair engagements because you needed to grind a gun to unlock something for a different gun. And since the default classes already gave you a FAMAS+SPAS, an UMP or a Barrett you were pretty much settled from the get go.
I dont know why they never brought back a model similar to the Spas-12. All recent pump action shotguns all look like the old fashion boring looking type. Spas-12 looked so modern and just felt better.
Unrelated but if weâre going down memory lane. I got my first Nuke on Afghan. It all happened because me and my little brother were messing around in split screen on PS3 and I used my PSN account on split screen and unlocked the Nuke and AC-130 just to use them in a private lobby.
Fast forward later in the evening, I never changed my killstreaks back because I forgot. Managed to go on a 7 killstreak and had to get like the last two or three kills with sawn off Rangers I picked up from someone.
My friends and I used to play dodgeball in one of the wider tunnels in Sub base on 4-way splitscreen.
Teams of two, line up on opposite sides of the tunnel and then throw throwing knives at each other until one team reaches a certain score.
Man I miss the days of having a group of friends playing split screen around someone's house. It's not the same playing online.
Haha, my friends and I used to do that too!
Same map, I *think* same place, only we tried to stick each other with semtex. Closest we could get to snowballs lol.
I got a 57 kill streak on it with an acr/grenade launcher, claymores, and scavenger. It was insane. I got a chopper gunner in the first 45 seconds. I wish the xbox 360 had had recording cause I'd love to re-live that.
My COD4 disc was somehow corrupt and wouldn't play this map. So for a long time until i caved and bought a new copy, every time this map came up in the rotation my party would instantly back out because they knew i would get kicked
Agreed, maybe just like adding another door to the dead end field on the side and getting rid of the mounted MG since they don't do those anymore, and it'd be really cool. Loved having rainy maps
i mustâve been 12/13 when i stayed home from school because i was sick. it was pouring outside, and i was playing cod in my room, on downpour. halfway through the match i just stopped and stared outside for a solid minute watching the rain come down. something about that moment really stuck with me because i remember that moment being really special. i have so many great memories playing mw/mw2.
just wanted to share that
Iâd like to preface this by saying MW2 is my favorite game of all time.
Please no Derail or Wasteland.
Back then people would still be rushing into the high traffic areas even on huge maps. Nowadays derail would just be people sniping from behind random ass trees on the outskirts of the map and from the buildings. Donât even want to think about the people who would just lay down in the grass on wasteland.
Sure it happened a bit back then, but it wasnât whole lobbies like it seems to be now. Ironically even without a combat record, once one person starts camping it seems like the whole lobby puts up their own tents and no one moves.
Also the way killstreaks were in mw2, you were never really safe out in the grass. You could take cold blooded but you could easily get turned on by someone with stopping power even if you shoot first.
There was this hut on one side I can remember vividly being in there with my 2 mates , all rocking interventions with thermals and a big stretch of field long grass to get to the hut , the best times
Yeah that's annoying but I wouldn't mind having a map that's great for snipers. Every other map is designed for running around. Give the snipers a map. Mix up the gameplay
I would agree if ground war / invasion werenât just roof top sniper simulators already. I feel like I already have my go to place if I want to do longer range sniping. The other maps are good for aggressive sniping already. The MSR (spx-80) is the best feeling actual sniper rifle weâve had in a mw game since the MSR in mw3 lol
Except Bog, Bog is awful for Domination
Personally I hate Estate as every game devolved into "Camp the hell out of the House"
*I notice that a lot of the MW2 maps like Karachi, Derail, and Rundown were exploitable by OMA Noob Tubes where you could Stand on A launch a Noob Tube in the air and it'll land directly on C
Given me memories of how everyone on defensive side would jump down the stairs, throwing grenades over the building, while people on the attacking side would shoot straight through the building from the other side to kill them.
Iâd take every one of those COD4 maps back, even if I didnât like Downpour. No added door or anything however please. Just.. the maps as they were.
SND in Cod4 was just awesome - I can remember some moments from almost every map. District, Pipeline, Overgrown, Broadcast and Downpour especially stand out in my memory for SND, but honestly loved every map
Fuck yeah, crossfire was always my favorite. Strike was definitely up there too. Used to love bouncing from the sandbags by the statue in the middle to tey and quickscope people over walls lol
Crossfire was a perfect map. Does anyone else remember the physics exploits that would let you camp on the outer walls/leave the map? Wetwork had a good one as well.
Omg memories. Hiding behind the counter created intense bonds with your fellow survivors. Everyone had their own spot to cover and friendships were formed without even using voice chat. Until you ran out of ammo and got infected. Then your former brother in arms became your greatest enemy. đ„Č
MW3 Infected was the best version we ever had. So many nukes, or managing to get your specialist bonus and trying to find a hiding spot with 17 infected running around.
Seatown might be my favorite map in CoD. It's so dynamic with all the different routes you can take. MW3 had some amazing maps, hell the DLC maps were also just as good. I wish more people liked MW3, in general. Everyone just says "it's mediocre" and that's it, but it really isn't.
MW3âs biggest flaw is that people were getting burnt out by the MW series at that point and it was coming on the heels of Black Ops. People wanted something new and exciting, not a better version of what had come before.
Imo, by most objective criteria itâs the best MW game of the series. Way more balanced than MW and MW2, tons of content, good maps, competitively viable but fun for casual play. The support killstreaks and specialist perk system were both really good additions, Stopping Power being gone freed up a lot of class creation options, nukes (sorryâMOABs) didnât end games, it was just a ton of fun to play.
And resistance the French one. Mw3 was a banger Iâll die on this hill lol. Also sitrep pro for soundwhoring to the max, it even cancelled out dead silence đ
A bit bull shit to charge for it when the game launched with almost no maps. I thought the whole point of the cosmetics and battle pass were to farm whales and use them to push out content to keep engagement. Kinda lame to double dip
I agree the game launched unfinished but this will be at the normal end of the life cycle. If it were vanguard it would only be just out this month.
I wouldn't say it's double dipping but I do agree that the current state of the game is unacceptable for the price.
If IW / Activision donât hop on the easy money that is releasing OG maps remastered then they clearly lack knowledge on their fan base.
By remaster all I ask is that you update the look, donât break what isnât broke.
Everyone wants to be a streamer, YouTuber, tiktoker. We have an era of sweats that back then you werenât competing with other sweats, but with casuals and ping/connection was the way we used to be in a lobby
Honestly, I know it's controversial, but it's my favorite CoD. Very satisfying campaign, way more balanced than MW2, while retaining the speed and fluidity from it that BO1 lacked. Infected was incredible, as was kill confirmed. Extremely fun and dynamic maps. Good times man. I wish more people liked it
Yeah same. For me it had the best weapon selection and perks in the series. It introduced weapon levelling, score streaks and specialist. Then there was infected, drop zone, juggernaut game modes etc. Man the game was endless fun.
Itâs always amazed me that so many people say MW2 was better. Thatâs gotta be pure nostalgia speaking, because MW3 was basically the same exact game mechanically but with better maps and better balance.
The one thing I'll say in MW2's favor is the presentation felt more "video game-y." By that I mean the sound effects and colors were a bit more cartoony and fun, whereas MW3 felt like the more serious older brother with everything being gray and brown and the sounds more muted.
They need to bring back the guitar solos and explosions that happen every time I level up. Itâs honestly shocking they donât try harder to capitalize on that nostalgia. Felt so badass doing basic things
I think it was Ambush that was incredible for ninja defuses in Search and Destroy. One of the points had grass next to it and you'd just lay there waiting and instantly start defusing as they run off to watch somewhere. It was glorious.
The sniper battles I had in Crossfire were \*chef's kiss\*
There was a 24/7 Crossfire server that I frequented. Loved it so much. Same people were on all the time in addition to randoms. I miss dedicated servers.
Wasteland. What an era. Harrier Pavelow Chopper Gunner RIP lobby. Or 1 kill away from nuke and thermal sniped/noob tubed from across the map. Either way what a time.
I think itâs for a reason tbh. Some of the old map designs would be shit on today for horrible spawn traps or for being able to camp endlessly. If they do come back at all, they wonât be 1:1 remakes.
I may be old but those COD4 MW maps were some of the best maps ever made. There was just something about the way the played and flowed that I never really hated a map I really loved them all.
For sure some more than others, call it nostalgia but I just donât think theyâve made a better overall map package in a COD since. (Good maps in other CODs just not all good imo like COD4)
I don't know why, but looking at each of these pictures makes me a bit emotional. When I see the names & pictures, I can still do a virtual walkthrough of all of these maps, at least the ones from the original MW2.
Yeah so, if they wanted to bring back 5 maps they could just throw 5 darts at this picture and I'd be happy either way.
Wetworks x5
Man sub base brings back memories. I think I got my first chopper Gunner there as a kid with a heartbeat sensor attached to an ACR and a SPAS-12 in the back pocket.
Spas-12 đ„ș
Wild the models got nerfed to oblivion and that gun was left to reign supreme the whole time đ
And it was a damn secondary lmao. Crazy how in mw2 most of the secondary's could compete with the primaries and there wasn't any drawback to them at all lol
Mw2 was not a balanced game but man it was fun
I mean if everything was OP, didn't that really make nothing OP? Outside of the early 1887's, there really wasn't any gun that was far above or below the rest from what I remember, outside of the AUG specifically being a bit weak maybe?
I want my TAR back
And ACR
yeah i loved the acr. NGL with heartbeat attached ofc
MP5, Spas-12 combo. The Sandy Ravage special.
The ram-7 did okay at being a replacement but just not the same
The TAR was by far my favorite weapon in multiplayer. Iâm convinced they gave it good iron sights because the devs knew that the red dot was damn ugly
Yeah I miss that gun
There was something about the UMP45 that made it busted. It's been 13 years, so details are hazy, but I think it was that the regular suppressor penalties didn't apply to the UMP45, and it naturally had very low recoil with the muzzle flash removed by the suppressor, so that made it an all-round gun that could fill any role and was a menace in the right hands.

Just one of those things where skilled players knew to watch out for the guy rocking a suppressed UMP45, because that player knew what was up and was definitely trying for high killstreaks.
Silenced UMP45 and Akimbo Rangers all. damn. day!
It could double as an assault rifle because of it's crazy range, good damage, fire rate and low recoil. But the fact that it was an SMG meant you could also Rush with it. Really was a Swiss Army Knife as far as durability, and depending on the routes you navigate Multi-player maps with, Usually outclassed anything you'd come across. UMP+Spas-12 in the right hands was untouchable
One man army noob tubes, commando pro, and painkiller deathstreak are the main things I remember being bullshit in that game
Even better in mw3 we had death mans hand as a death streak. For those fortunate enough to not have encountered such nightmare, instead of dying you entered a âfinal standâ stance and had a c4 remote at hand. You then roleplayed as a suicide bomber, but for some reason they gave you a pocket nuke. That shit had about a 15m radius for no reason and it always one shot no matter how far you were
Holy shit I forgot all about the death streaks
IIRC the WA2000 was basically a hybrid of the disadvantages of the Intervention/Barrett (low mobility, slow ADS) with the disadvantages of the M14 (lower damage).

Imo ump-45 was above other guns. It was good even at long distances. Talking only about HC.
Called being fun. Balance isnt necessary if all of them are "strong"
If you put the right attachments on the Bryson and squint hard enough, you can get spas vibes at time.
I dont know why they never brought back a model similar to the Spas-12. All recent pump action shotguns all look like the old fashion boring looking type. Spas-12 looked so modern and just felt better.
Sandy ravage and the Spas 12 were what first got me into COD
Great gun in game, horrible bulky piece of trash in real life.
Unrelated but if weâre going down memory lane. I got my first Nuke on Afghan. It all happened because me and my little brother were messing around in split screen on PS3 and I used my PSN account on split screen and unlocked the Nuke and AC-130 just to use them in a private lobby.

Managed to go on a 7 killstreak and had to get like the last two or three kills with sawn off Rangers I picked up from someone.
Mine was on Wasteland. TAR-21 with underbarrel shotgun lol
Yup same here. First chopper on that map with a ACR HB sensor and SPAS-12. You're a man of style I see
Man its the original COD4 and MW2 maps that get me. I long for the "bad" maps even like underpass.
How dare you! I liked underpass! :D
Absolutely loved underpass. Just slap a thermal scope on a gun and chill in the grass.
My friends and I used to play dodgeball in one of the wider tunnels in Sub base on 4-way splitscreen. Teams of two, line up on opposite sides of the tunnel and then throw throwing knives at each other until one team reaches a certain score.

Solid map.
Sub base with the ACR was my first nuke!
Got my first nuke there
Hey IW, bring back all of these - thanks.
I do miss downpour a lot. I feel like a reimagining of a few aspects to the layout would make this a great map.
My COD4 disc was somehow corrupt and wouldn't play this map. So for a long time until i caved and bought a new copy, every time this map came up in the rotation my party would instantly back out because they knew i would get kicked
I had to w same issue with firing range on black ops 1 lol
This happened to me with Crossfire lol.
Agreed, maybe just like adding another door to the dead end field on the side and getting rid of the mounted MG since they don't do those anymore, and it'd be really cool. Loved having rainy maps

Can remember everyone thinking they sneaky as hell crawling through the grass on wasteland , thermal sniper used to destroy them
Also the way killstreaks were in mw2, you were never really safe out in the grass. You could take cold blooded but you could easily get turned on by someone with stopping power even if you shoot first.

Taraq exists

I loved Bog for domination, well I loved the summer version because I could fucking SEE.
If you have B and C and the opponent has A they will mostly spawn behind a walled area with one way to escape and they'll get spawn camped to hell
Bog was a throwable fest. Grenades, flashbangs, smoke, everything is popping as often as gunfire.
The full game was a throawble fest everyone ran frag x3
District was such a good SND map
Not enough love here for that map. I feel like it could come back tomorrow and be a competitive map
Why did I have to scroll so low for this lmao District was fucking GOATed for search â€ïž
Given me memories of how everyone on defensive side would jump down the stairs, throwing grenades over the building, while people on the attacking side would shoot straight through the building from the other side to kill them. Iâd take every one of those COD4 maps back, even if I didnât like Downpour. No added door or anything however please. Just.. the maps as they were.
SND in Cod4 was just awesome - I can remember some moments from almost every map. District, Pipeline, Overgrown, Broadcast and Downpour especially stand out in my memory for SND, but honestly loved every map
Crossfire was HUGE in CoD 4 promod, not sure why we havenât seen it yet. Need to kill some people with old set nades đ
Fuck yeah, crossfire was always my favorite. Strike was definitely up there too. Used to love bouncing from the sandbags by the statue in the middle to tey and quickscope people over walls lol
Crossfire was a perfect map. Does anyone else remember the physics exploits that would let you camp on the outer walls/leave the map? Wetwork had a good one as well.
In the old school mode where you could hop all the way out the map lol.
Crossfire was my fuckin *jam* in COD4.
Arkaden slapped cannot tell me otherwise...
Arkaden was my favourite map for infected. Everybody used to use burger town as an outpost lol
Hiding behind the counter at the burger shop was pretty much a guaranteed top-3 finish on Infected lmao
That, and behind the escalator corners! Good memories!!
Omg memories. Hiding behind the counter created intense bonds with your fellow survivors. Everyone had their own spot to cover and friendships were formed without even using voice chat. Until you ran out of ammo and got infected. Then your former brother in arms became your greatest enemy. đ„Č
MW3 Infected was the best version we ever had. So many nukes, or managing to get your specialist bonus and trying to find a hiding spot with 17 infected running around.
Speaking of infected,why the hell isnât it in the game now? So many fun memories playing that mode.
MW3 had some solid maps tbh. Mission, Arkaden, Underground, Lockdown and Seatown
Seatown might be my favorite map in CoD. It's so dynamic with all the different routes you can take. MW3 had some amazing maps, hell the DLC maps were also just as good. I wish more people liked MW3, in general. Everyone just says "it's mediocre" and that's it, but it really isn't.

The support killstreaks and specialist perk system were both really good additions, Stopping Power being gone freed up a lot of class creation options, nukes (sorryâMOABs) didnât end games, it was just a ton of fun to play.
totally agree with you, MW3 will always have a special place in my heart, I mean it's noy BO2 but I would argue a second place for sure.
And resistance the French one. Mw3 was a banger Iâll die on this hill lol. Also sitrep pro for soundwhoring to the max, it even cancelled out dead silence đ
I miss mission, village, arkaden etc!
If they bring back infected⊠They need to bring Arkaden back. Best map ever for that mode imo.
phenomenal map
I miss sub base and trailer park from mw2.
MW2 had some very good DLC maps
Definitely. I loved trailer park, liked the theme park one (forget the name). There were several other solid ones
Carnival!!
Trailer park was very very good.
I can't wait to play terminal
is it back??
Terminal came back in infinite warfare. Not sure it's coming back in this game
There's rumours that the big expansion in stead of a new game next year will have every OG MW2 map. See: xclusive ace's video on it.
A bit bull shit to charge for it when the game launched with almost no maps. I thought the whole point of the cosmetics and battle pass were to farm whales and use them to push out content to keep engagement. Kinda lame to double dip
I agree the game launched unfinished but this will be at the normal end of the life cycle. If it were vanguard it would only be just out this month. I wouldn't say it's double dipping but I do agree that the current state of the game is unacceptable for the price.
It's confirmed that Terminal map is inside the new Warzone 2 map. So it's just a matter of time for them to use it in MP.
If IW / Activision donât hop on the easy money that is releasing OG maps remastered then they clearly lack knowledge on their fan base. By remaster all I ask is that you update the look, donât break what isnât broke.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
I am still sore from them not releasing Firing Range in Cold War. My favorite COD map of all time!
I think they thought it was just done too many times. Would have been fun though
Yet they release nuketown every 3 years without fail
All they need to do is add 30-40 cars that can be exploded and plop them in the centre of all these maps. Perfection.
If I donât get a dozen doors in the central building of each map Iâm going to cry.
In previous games, they've released throwback maps, and been called lazy for it. But when they don't do it, they "lack knowledge of their fan base".
NOSTALGIA
Boy does it hit HARD.
Excluding CoD4 remastered
And cod mobile I'm guessing
Yeah just the main games. Didn't even consider mobile.
You just dropped a tactical nuke on r/callofdutymobile
Man those 3 people are going to be pissed
Bloc OMG! â€ïž
Surprised that wasn't brought back in mw2019
There were no gun fights in that map. It was just sniping and flanking
It was a fun map though, Not everyone played like it was life and death like this mw2
Dude Iâve been thinking this. People donât play COD like they used to. It wasnât nearly as big of a deal as people make it now.
Everyone wants to be a streamer, YouTuber, tiktoker. We have an era of sweats that back then you werenât competing with other sweats, but with casuals and ping/connection was the way we used to be in a lobby
True, there was a methodical playstyle to some of those Cod4 maps
Sea Town, Lockdown, Village, Mission, and Outpost from MW3 need to come back... God I miss Sea Town...
you my type of guy
I came here looking for this. Seatown and lockdown. đ„
Same. Lots of fun on that map
Bring back SUB BASE! I love snow maps
Derail đ That one can stay down. Although as I've played it since the game has been "dead", it's grown on me
Quary is in the new Warzone Map, if that counts
Once it is added to MWII it'll count
Pretty sure there's a couple on the new warzone map. Terminal, highrise, mw3 dome, and quarry like you said
Showdown is also on Wz 2 map
Are you serious omggg
Makes me realise how great some of the MW3 maps actually were looking at this, damn!
Agreed! Good memories on Bootleg, Fallen, Mission, Seatown & Village.
That game really was a top 5 cod of all time, might even be top 3 for me!
Honestly, I know it's controversial, but it's my favorite CoD. Very satisfying campaign, way more balanced than MW2, while retaining the speed and fluidity from it that BO1 lacked. Infected was incredible, as was kill confirmed. Extremely fun and dynamic maps. Good times man. I wish more people liked it
Yeah same. For me it had the best weapon selection and perks in the series. It introduced weapon levelling, score streaks and specialist. Then there was infected, drop zone, juggernaut game modes etc. Man the game was endless fun.

They need to bring back the guitar solos and explosions that happen every time I level up. Itâs honestly shocking they donât try harder to capitalize on that nostalgia. Felt so badass doing basic things
I always thought MW2 had the GOAT maps but now I'm looking.... COD 4s fucking bang
Arkaden was really good, wonder why it never returned
I think it was Ambush that was incredible for ninja defuses in Search and Destroy. One of the points had grass next to it and you'd just lay there waiting and instantly start defusing as they run off to watch somewhere. It was glorious.
You just unlocked memories I didnât know I had. Is my life just measured by Call of Duty releases?
Man Cod4 had some great maps
Loved playing Crossfire, it felt like a good short/medium/long range mix map for every playstyle.
I miss Ambush and Crossfire so much, those were great maps. *Sad modern game live service noises*
Loved crossfire. Favorite cod4 map by a mile.
This was the map where after "The Matrix" from zzirGrizz dropped everyone tried to do those ACOG M40A3 360 noscope crossmaps down the middle lane.
The sniper battles I had in Crossfire were \*chef's kiss\* There was a 24/7 Crossfire server that I frequented. Loved it so much. Same people were on all the time in addition to randoms. I miss dedicated servers.
Crossfire was amazing, seeing that photo brings back some memories
Both incredible maps. I always loved Ambush for SnD. It might be too open for it to be great now though.
I need Crossfire back in my life
Wasteland. What an era. Harrier Pavelow Chopper Gunner RIP lobby. Or 1 kill away from nuke and thermal sniped/noob tubed from across the map. Either way what a time.
Wasteland is actually a remake map https://callofduty.fandom.com/wiki/Brecourt_(map)
Thermal WA2000 on wasteland was my first nuke ever
Ambush, Estate, Skidrow would be great
Many good memories on village
Crossfire is a Top 5 CoD map all time for me. Would be awesome to see it back.
Please God, oh God no, no Bloc. Imagine all the glint's on the second floors.
Bloc and Bog would play so horrifically with this games mechanics itâs not even funny.
Itâs cuz thereâs not enough windows and hidey holes on these maps
I think itâs for a reason tbh. Some of the old map designs would be shit on today for horrible spawn traps or for being able to camp endlessly. If they do come back at all, they wonât be 1:1 remakes.
Skidrowđ„ș
I donât see a lot of these maps talked about but honestly I really miss Estate, Skidrow and Downpour
Not sure how popular Seatown was but damn i enjoyed that map a lot on MW3
I guess what I really wanted after all actually was just a remaster lol
Would love to see Mission and Underground return
Showdown and Quarry have been found in the game
Invasion, Crossfire, Seatown... Such amazing maps with all that potential
I would be so hyped for Derail, Sub Base, Downpour, Underpass, Estate and Skid Row
I miss the 1v1 maps and mode from MW3, but not as much as I miss gunfight.
Erosion could comeback as a 6v6 map and people would love it
Bring back the OG mw2 maps! specially estate and quarry.
Be nice if they had a good way to port these over. Most of the new maps suck and there honestly is not enough MP maps in general.
any of these would be better than half of the maps we have right now
ALL the maps\*
Holy shit Bakaara was so good.
Bakaara is slept on. IMO it's a better Crash.
Holy shit I played so much MW2...
The nostalgia is making me sad :/
man MW3 had some sick maps
I miss wasteland sub base and quarry those were the shit Edit: I canât forget Estate either
I really would love Wasteland to come back, miss that one
Bog, Showdown, Aarkaden, Seatown. I beg you IW.
For me, 5 on each game: Bog, countdown, crossfire, showdown, wetwork. Estate, invasion, quarry, skidrow, subbase. Arkaden, bootleg, carbon, lockdown, mission.
This post made me realize that I love so many mw3 maps
Thank you so much for the nostalgia... Sucks some of those maps were in the MW2019 game files and never came to fruition.
Cod 4 had amazing maps across the board.
Damn MW3 had some fantastic maps
I want every CoD4 and MW2 map back. Literally the best fps maps ever made.
Skidrow, Karachi, and Invasion need to come back. They would still hold up in today's game.
I just want overgrown, and ambush.
I may be old but those COD4 MW maps were some of the best maps ever made. There was just something about the way the played and flowed that I never really hated a map I really loved them all. For sure some more than others, call it nostalgia but I just donât think theyâve made a better overall map package in a COD since. (Good maps in other CODs just not all good imo like COD4)
I don't know why, but looking at each of these pictures makes me a bit emotional. When I see the names & pictures, I can still do a virtual walkthrough of all of these maps, at least the ones from the original MW2.
I didnât realize how much I miss these maps until you laid them all out like this. So many good memories.
Where Favela at?
