Black Ops Cold War to feature 6v6 variations of larger maps
Treyarch has announced that there will be variations of some of the larger maps in game.
As part of the blog post detailing the new ways to play in the Black Ops Cold War beta, Treyarch has announced a new map is joining the list: Cartel.
Per Treyarch, Cartel is a new map set in Nicaragua.
This new map has both a 6v6 map and a 12v12 map as part of the experience, per Treyarch.
This lush map offers a variety of attack options for any play style, from the close-quarters interiors of the warehouse on one side to the shaded streams flanking the opposite end. If you’re feeling lucky, try holding down the central tower to snipe oncoming enemies, or take the stealth route through the foliage in the center lane.
You’ll get to play both 6v6 and 12v12 modes on Cartel in the Beta, including Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, Combined Arms: Domination, and additional modes as the Beta continues throughout both weekends.
During the Alpha and MP reveal, Treyarch also showcased two of the other larger maps in the game. Those are Crossroads, a snow map, and Armada, a map set in the North Sea. Both of those maps were played on 12v12 during our creator play test, as well as in the Alpha.
Now, Treyarch says that both of these maps will have a 6v6 variation available at launch.
We’re excited to support up to 24 players on this new map, as well as a full selection of core 6v6 modes in the Beta. Similarly, Black Ops Cold War will include 6v6 versions of our Crossroads and Armada maps at launch on November 13th!
This looks to be similar to what Infinity Ward has done with certain maps in Modern Warfare offering a variety of player count combinations.
