Black Ops 2 trailer shows overhauled Nuketown 2025, still looks crazily horrendous

Future tech no answer to acute shortages of space, apparently

The future of Nuketown is, alas, still Nuketown. Activision's released a montage of killshots on Black Ops 2 map Nuketown 2025, which looks a lot shinier for the remaster but no less claustrophobic and chaotic. I'm not sure why they bothered putting together a montage, really - people die often enough in the average Nuketown game that you can do without the edits.

The new Nuketown is a downloadable pre-order incentive, and also supports Zombies Mode play. I'm giving you a rough maximum life expectancy of 30 seconds. There's the trailer.

  1. so many funny matches on blops Nuketown.... was a great map if you were in a team full of mates..big drop off in people i know playing MW3 so im hoping a bunch of them will be back for this.

  2. Glad I have the Hardened edition on pre-order - I can't wait!!

    Nuketown was not one of my favourite maps (too small) but I must admit I never had a really 'bad' experience playing on it.

    Why? nuketown comes with the normal editions as well! you just have to pre-order.

    However you don't get Nuketown Zombies (only the MP map 2025). Also get a Steelbook version, a couple of avatar items, weapon Camos and playercard emblems (I think) and maybe a few other things too

  5. I hate this map. Why?

    Put simply:

    There is no Complexity to this map. It's just head across the street and fire at the first guys you see. There's no strategy, there's no flanking, and nade spam easily goes from spawn to spawn.
    It's the equivalent of playing paintball or lazer tag with almost no cover.
    No one genuinely loves that map for anything other than getting lots of kills and requiring no thought. Same with Shipment from CoD4.
