This is another one from the Warzone map, Al Mazrah, and it's smaller than it might appear: Modern Warfare 2 map: Al Bagra. While one side of the map doesn't play very well, the central building and hill-side lane are good fun. The Asylum is an interesting map, although it is on the smaller end: Modern Warfare 2 map: El Asilo. After a few minutes the engagement hotspots become sprawled out across the map, and you end up fighting each other diagonally rather than in the way the map was clearly intended. But because of the squad-spawn system in MW2, this map "breaks" in respawn modes. | © Activisionįarm offers an interesting dynamic, and it works well for no-respawn modes. This was a beta map, and I really wanted to put it higher, but on playing again at launch I found some issues with it. These maps are fine, and work well in one or two modes. We had to put it in A-Tier because it does exactly what it's supposed to. This is Shipment in MW2, and as you can see, it now takes place on a boat. But it isn't supposed to Shipment only exists for camo grinding, and for that, it's incredible. The new version is slightly bigger than the original, but only slightly. MW2019's best map has been remastered! | © Activision You could always argue, why not just play Shipment? But Shoothouse is less mind-numbingly repetitive. Look, it's not a competitive map, and it doesn't work very well for objective modes, but it's there for one reason and one reason only: grinding. Yep, it's back, MW2019's only beloved map: Shoothouse. But it could do a better job of cutting off longer sight lines, because at the moment Tennis Court side feels like a wasted opportunity. | © ActivisionĪlthough on the smaller end, this map has a wonderful symmetry, and enough internal space to prevent over-congestion. This is from the new Warzone map, Al Mazrah: F1 are currently in legal talks with Activision to have it removed from the game. This is based on a real-world location, but Activision didn't get permission to use it, and F1 are furious. What's especially impressive is how well the lighting has been done it's a night map and yet there are no visibility issues. | © ActivisionĪlthough there's perhaps too much clutter on this map, it's very well-designed. This was the map the CDL pros played in early testing and said was their favorite: Modern Warfare 2 map: Crown Raceway. Definitely the closest to making it into S-Tier. I'm not sure if it can work well for Hardpoint or Headquarters because of how open the points are, but besides that this is a great map. It works so well for classic domination, and all the no-respawn modes. This is about as small as CoD maps can get without becoming a clusterf*ck: Modern Warfare 2 map: Mercado Las Almas. These are all solid maps that can work with multiple modes. If Activision's lawyers can't sort something out, then sadly, this might not make it into the CDL or ranked mode (because it can't appear on broadcast). This is based on an actual hotel in Amsterdam, and the owners of the hotel are apparently looking for a payout from Activision. This map provides three clear lanes, a good mix of verticality (without going overboard), and just the right balance between cover and open space. Breenbergh Hotelīreenburgh Hotel is the standout map from MW2, and as we predicted, it's made it into all three competitive modes: Modern Warfare 2 map: Hotel. This tier is for outstanding maps that will work well for multiple modes right out of the box. Having now played all the core 6v6 maps, this is how we rank them: S-Tier Maps
