We all love nostalgia, and Activision knows it. That’s whyCall of Dutyfans often receive map remasters from older titles with each new season ofCold War. So it should come as no surprise that a reliable leaker,CallofDutyHope, has revealed Slums and Plaza may be receiving remasters inCold War.
ConsideringCold Waris a sequel to the originalBlack Ops, fans are rightly confused as to why Treyarch is remastering so many maps fromBlack Ops 2.
Black Ops 2- Slums & Plaza
Black Ops 2is aCall of Dutytitle by Treyarch Studios, originally released in 2012. It is often deemed by fans as one of the greatestCall of Dutytitles, so remastering maps from the popular shooter is a no brainer.
Slums is a 6v6 Multiplayer map set in Panama in the 1980s. Like manyBlack Ops 2maps, the layout is designed with a 3 lane system. One side of the map presents a more long-range, sniper friendly lane. Whilst the opposite side is denser and better for close-quarter combat. It was also remastered forBlack Ops 4, check out images of the original map below.
As for Plaza, it’s a much darker map set in a shopping mall complex on Colossus. The map is slightly more complex than Slums, but does still offer a standard 3 lane system. It is also nearly symmetrical in both spawn points. Many of the buildings allow players to enter or climb onto the roof to snipe people at distance.
It has never received a remaster, so should the rumours be true, this will be Plaza’s first remaster. Check out images of the map below.
Black Ops Cold War- More Remasters Inbound?
According toCall of Dutyleaker, CallofDutyHope, Plaza and Slums will be the next classic maps to receive the remaster treatment.
The leaker isn’t certain if these remasters will arrive in Season 5 or 6 ofCold War, but does state that it’s possible other classicCall of Dutymaps are also going to be remastered. In a follow-up tweet, he states that:
“Summit is part of Weather Station which is most likely going to be an Outbreak map & it’s literally a BO4 port but Yamantau is way too similar imo to warrant Summit being a 6v6 map. Firing Range and Jungle ARE possible for S5/S6 as there is two spots left but I didn’t hear that.”
However, a fellowCall of Dutyleaker,TheMW2Ghost, claims that Yemen and/or Plaza will be arriving in Season 5 ofCold War. Both leakers are reliable sources and have been correct surroundingCall of Dutyleaks in the past, but it appears we have some slightly contradicting results with this one.
Both appear to agree on a Plaza remaster forCold War, but it appears the second remastered map is slightly up in the air. Either way, fans can almost certainly expect some form of a remastered map in the next season ofCold War. But as always, remember to take leaks with a grain of salt. Nothing is official until it comes from theCall of Dutyteam themselves.
When IsCold WarSeason 5?
The next season ofCold WarandWarzoneis expected to kick off around August 10th, as this is the date that the current Battle Pass expires. However, no official date has been released by Activision, Raven Software, or Treyarch Studios just yet.
