Neither have I. I've only played Kill Confirmed, Team Deathmatch, Domination, Safeguard, Ground War, Uplink, Hardpoint and Free For All in Black Ops 3.

Yep that was the next map I wanted remade. Come on Firing Range / Studio is as much of a staple to COD as Nuketown!

There's been leaks about that specialist that his name is Blackjack, and his ability is stealing other characters specialist weapons, not sure what his own weapon is if he even has one.

sryanbruen

They sure have been up to something

Can listen to Blackjacks quotes here

I wonder is there any chance they will surprise us and release the maps next Thursday, probably not as they usually fly out Tmartn and Ali-G to preview them and build up the hype!

Firing range was already remade in a previous cod wasn't it?

I like the map but I already paid for firing range before.....twice.

Read my sentence again :mad:, "Studio". Plus Nuketown has been remade 3 times so I don't see why not it shouldn't be made again.

Be amazing if they surprised us with party play that works properly

Yeah I finally reached Master Prestige last Monday night took me 10 days and 28 minutes which I'm pretty happy with that although the climb to prestige master level 1000 is a pain at 55K XP per level!
Also finally got the Return Fire Masters Calling Card got my fifth power core destroyed and shot down the rap ship before it dropped a killer malteeser on Skyjacked! I am now delighted with my Cat pooping rainbow calling card!!!

Bro, Awakening was my favourite DLC pack ever! It included my favourite map of all time, Splash. Plus it has two of my favourite maps, Skyjacked and Gauntlet. Although I hated Rise. The zombies map, Der Eisendrache is my third favourite of all time.

The only problems I had with Awakening were

- Rise
- Activision not allowing new weapons to be included with DLC (:mad::mad:)

I'm just nearly on prestige 3 :pac::o. I am halfway through prestige 5 on zombies - and that is probably why.

The grind for the levels above master prestige is never ending. Feels like forever since I prestiged and only 185 or something.

Currently trying to complete as many of the challenges as I can. Up to about 80% completed now

I have to say I hate most of the dlc maps in awakening. Hope next one is better

Simply Red

After playing the dlc during the weekend when they were free for everyone, I'm so glad I didn't get the season pass, terrible maps imo

It's NOT. Spire is the only map I like in Eclipse, including zombies.

For a map to be considered good to me, it depends on

- Size
- Aesthetic

I could just say aesthetic but Nuketown (not Nuk3town) and Rust are exceptions.

Why do I love Splash, Grind, Combine, Rush so much? Because they are COLOURFUL. I wish Splash was a real waterpark. Hydro Paradise ftw . Apart from Rise which I can understand - cause I hate that map, how could you hate Awakening? I don't see anything bad about the maps.

Colourful? Well we have completely different sets of standards on what makes a good map, colour is the last thing I'd be worried about. Give me a well structured and well layed out competitive map over a colourful map anyway

Have to say the colours don't bother me either way. Try playing Ffa on splash one of the only maps that regularly finishes due to time instead of score. Rise is just a clusterf*ck of a map. The idea of gauntlet was good and Skyjacked is ok but does not play as well as hijacked

Snake Plisken

So latest patch including maps is live on PS4 roughly 1.8gb couple of weapon nerfs in there as well

Look at you showing off the fancy internet :P Mine is still downloading the patch after over 2 hours only 400mb to go. I really miss my own place with fibre connection

Eclipse is not looking that great - like I predicted (I'm playing on my brother's PS4). I love Spire like I knew I would and I actually do quite like Knockout. I hate Verge. Rift I really have mixed opinions on, considering it reminds me of Rise a lot. Zetsubou No Shima is the first zombies map in a while that I hate.

I'm the opposite. Don't like spire at all. It's too white. Rift ive been doing ok on. Not really mad on any of the maps so far. Played Ffa and Dom on them

Actually got confused rift is not great either. Verge has been my best map so far for games. Maybe just need to get used to them. One thing about spite though is the spawns in FFA are terrible. Couple of times spawned directly between 2 enemies. On a map that size shouldn't happen

That's me in Skyjacked (the spawn)... plus does Rift make you think of Rise - like I do?

My ratings of the DLCs so far

Awakening: 7/10
Eclipse: 5/10

My favourites of them

1. Splash
2. Spire
3. Skyjacked
4. Gauntlet
5. Knockout

Zombies

1. Der Eisendrache

^ Zetsubou No Shima doesn't deserve a spot, I hate it that much.

Nope just played 2 games of Ffa with grip and silencer and was actually able to hit enemies more than 5 feet away

Good! Before the patch, the Vesper was the only gun I ever used - literally! Now that you give me this good news, I can actually use it again. Thanks for letting me know.

Had to give up tonight. Every game was laggy and full of camping pr1cks. Tried in a party with one of the lads and I couldn't even get a UAV.

Yeah I swear, what is up with the servers so laggy and it's not MY INTERNET that's the problem! It's the COD servers - maybe they will patch the lags.

Was it Rift you were mostly playing - that's a camper's dream map.

NoviGlitzko

Will they ever let Nuketown just die? I always and still hate that map. Also, I wonder why people continually pick Fringe in the map vote. Campfest of the highest order.
