Core Maps

Derelict

Deep in the Appalachian Mountains, a train graveyard lies shrouded by a lush forest. Abandoned and forgotten, this derelict depot along the NOR Appalachian Railroad has become a prime ambush point for Rogue Black Ops and Crimson One to face off in a deadly skirmish.

Rewind

Visit the Liberty Shopping Plaza right on the edge of Liberty Falls, West Virginia and wreak havoc through the strip mall. In this unique layout, two outer lanes are connected by multiple routes through and around the shops, a video store in the middle housing several major objectives.

Scud

Deploy to a desert military outpost following a devastating attack. The damaged radar dish and nearby buildings have taken several hits, the air thick with smoke from the surrounding fires. Bunker down in the depot or HQ or flank enemies in the trenches. Watch for snipers near the radar dish; its base provides a near 360-degree view.

Skyline

Take in breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside from the rooftop of a luxury resort featuring an exquisite penthouse with access to a lounge, kitchen, gym, and pool. Descend into the panic room to cross under the map or fight in the open around the victims of a recent hit job.

Strike Maps

Gala

Explore the aftermath of an annual fundraising event in Washington, D.C. Get up on stage or kick back in the lounge. Along the sides, move through a makeshift bar, coatroom, and campaign stand. Every move counts on this tiny map, so get out there and punch the winning ticket.

Pit

Burrow into a small subsection of an underground mining tunnel and collide in the central cave. A ventilation shaft casts some natural light over the cave, the mine tracks within circling back to the narrow tunnels. Climb up the ladders to reach an overhead vantage point or weave between the mine carts for ground floor cover.

Game Modes

• Team Deathmatch: Eliminate enemy players to earn score for your team.
• Domination: Capture, hold, and defend objectives to earn score for your team.
• Hardpoint: Capture and hold the rotating Hardpoint zone to earn score for your team.
• Kill Order: Eliminate the enemy High Value Target (HVT) while keeping your HVT alive. HVT eliminations earn bonus score for your team.
• Face Off: Face Off follows the rules of a standard game mode with Scorestreaks disabled. During Weekend One, eliminate enemy players in Face Off Team Deathmatch and collect dog tags to score in Face Off Kill Confirmed.

Weekend One: Progression

During Weekend One, players can level up to a maximum of 20.
