The Pines would be a dream hangout spot for teenagers on a Friday night, but it's a nightmare for Call of Duty players. Just like the next map on the list, The Pines is about 99% indoors, and there's a lot of spaces for players to avoid aerial killstreaks with zero issue throughout the map. Its disorienting, it's too big, and players can have a lot of downtime before getting shot in the back thanks to someone coming out of a maintenance tunnel.

Black Ops Cold War's maps just feel like a mish-mash of the Call of Duty game Sledgehammer was making prior to Treyarch coming onboard. That's not to say there aren't a few gems here, even outside of the classics.

Many of the maps are more or less masterclasses in how not to make a map in a 6v6 shooter. Many of the maps in Black Ops Cold War feel uneven, with giant centers or tons of dead space where there should be interesting combat. They're not all bad, but some of them are very flawed. That said, Black Ops Cold War's maps are a bit of a mess. Call of Duty has some of the most iconic FPS maps of all-time, so much so that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brings several classics back.
