ANIMALS - Zoo is a medium-sized map designed for 6v6 gameplay
" First seen in the original Black Ops’ Escalation DLC pack in 2011, Zoo is a medium-sized map specifically designed for 6v6 game modes in Black Ops Cold War, trimming the playable space down to its main animal exhibit and park area for Multiplayer.
Be sure to take a “ride” on the monorail to get an incredible vantage point on the action below, or head to the souvenir shop to dole out plenty of free pain to your enemies."

Echelon (6v6) - Launch

This is a brand new map for Season 5 and one you might recognise from the Season 5 Cinematic Trailer.

EYES ABOVE - There's going to be a few holes in the roof after Kitsune blew this NATO Compound up
" Set at Teufelsberg – also known as “Devil’s Mountain” – in Berlin, Echelon sees Operators fighting through the rain and ash in the aftermath of Perseus’ latest operation. From either infiltration point, you’ll fight to control the central control room inside the main dome, a natural hotbed for combat that gets even hotter in objective game modes."

Slums (6v6) - Launch

This is a three-lane classic that you would have seen orifinally in Treyarch's Black Ops II.

KEEP ON ALERT - Sightlines through the middle of the map could be your downfall
"First introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Slums is set deep within Panama City, where a town square featuring a central fountain invites long-range combat across lanes and plenty of aerial Scorestreak bombardments."

Showroom (2v2 & 3v3) - Launch

Stacks was first featured in 2019's Modern Warfare, but this smaller variant of Stacks' emporium inside The Pines mall will feel fresh for Black Ops Cold War.

ALL PRICES ARE FINAL - This is going to be a bloodbath of Black Friday proportions
" All sales are final in this small-scale map built for Gunfight and Face-Off variants. Showroom is set in the cordoned off Stacks emporium within the long-abandoned mall in New Jersey, The Pines. On this map, expect to have fast fights over and around various displays and kiosks, which provide a unique aesthetic and map structure compared to the other smaller maps in Black Ops Cold War."

Drive-In (6v6) - In-Season

This classic Black Ops map will be making its return to Call of Duty shortly after the Season 5 launch window.

Zoo (6v6) - In-Season

First featured in Black Ops Cold War's Outbreak, a smaller variation on this map will be coming to the latest Call of Duty soon.

A BUNCH OF ANIMALS - It's time to get wild with this post-launch Season 5 locale
" There’s no cage that can hold you as you fight through bear pits and aquariums in Zoo, whose original version was part of Black Ops’ second DLC pack Escalation. Be sure to take a “ride” on the monorail to get an incredible vantage point on the action below, or head to the souvenir shop to dole out plenty of free pain to your enemies."
