Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris shaping up to be an interesting project. Despite having only two years to make the game, Treyarch, Raven Software, and some additional studios are doing their best to make fans happy with the return of the campaign and Zombies modes. It looks like multiplayer fans will also have something to be excited for, asBlack Ops Cold War’s multiplayer is supposedly launching with more than 10 maps.
According to TheGamingRevolution, who has proven to be a reliable source for leaked info on theCall of Dutyseries, dataminers have found thatBlack Ops Cold Warwill be dropping with over 10 maps on November 13th. That number will surely increase withBlack Ops Cold War’sfree DLC plan, but it’s a solid number for the game to be launching with.

For context,Call of Dutygames on last gen consoles usually had a dozen maps when they launched, but that number has dwindled over recent years.Call of Duty: WW2launched with nine core multiplayer maps, as its War game mode required maps of its own.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019was in a similar boat, withModern Warfare’sGround War modeonce again requiring two separate, massive maps.
Call of Duty Black Ops 4featured a total of 14 maps on launch day, though 4 were remakes and 10 were originals. It will be interesting to see if remakes are joining theBlack Ops Cold Warlineup, as the news that there are at least 11 maps would be far less exciting if remakes were joining the fray as well. If all the 10+ maps are original, however,Black Ops Cold War’smultiplayer mode will have a fair bit of content on launch day. Some of theweaponry set to feature in multiplayerleaked as well, giving fans an even bigger indication of what they will be seeing when the game arrives in a few months.
For those eager to learn more about the multiplayer mode and theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta, they will need totune in on September 9thfor the official reveal. How in-depth Treyarch and Activision go on the 9th is unclear at this time, but whether it’s a multiplayer trailer or full gameplay, the event should prove exciting for fans ofCall of Dutymultiplayer. For now, at least, players have an idea if a possible map count for the game.
WhetherBlack Ops: Cold War’smaps are allas big as the desert mapfrom the reveal trailer remains to be seen, so hopefully the reveal event will provide fans with more answers than questions. If vehicles and massive maps are a constant inBlack Ops Cold Warmultiplayer, it is safe to say that the game will be taking a huge step in a new direction.
