For a place that is dominated by shades of brown, the developers did a great job turning Yemen into a bright, aesthetically pleasing map. I personally like this map not only because of the layout, but also because of the color scheme. A relatively large map, Yemen has several rooms/buildings to hide in along with some good sniper sight lines. This map has a lot of tight corners and alleys that result in a lot of intense close quarter engagements, but it also is very spread out. Yemen is located in the urban streets of Yemen. As time went on, I saw it for what it was and grew to really enjoy Carrier. When the game came out, I actually hated the map. Carrier is great for just about all game modes. There are so many opportunities for picking off opponents hiding behind the crane or perched on top of the fighter jets. Like I noted earlier, it is a sniper's dream. The relatively rectangular shape allows for great spawns, and it doesn't take long to get to the action. It has a solid overall balance, with plenty of both open sight lines and random objects used for cover. The best sniper map in Black Ops II, Carrier is located on a Chinese aircraft carrier in the ocean. It might not be the best map for every game mode, but I usually get solid gameplay. I don't understand why there is a general dislike of Turbine among the BO2 community - I like it. The spawns are okay but not great, mainly due to the size of the place. There are a lot of rocks that can be used for cover, as well as the giant crashed plane in the center of the map. It is a big map with long sight lines, making it great for sniping.
Turbine is located in the hills of Yemen with wind turbines surrounding the map. Plaza works for a solid amount of game modes, and while nothing warrants it as a great map, it is a good one nonetheless. Shotguns and SMGs are a necessity for frequent skirmishes in the bar, and if you can survive, the flanking route is a good one. Two building rooftops (one at A-DOM, one at C-DOM) provide for excellent sniping lanes aimed at the middle however, the sight lines don't reach all the way. The center of the map is reachable by four different pathways, but the tight corners and angles makes it difficult to have access to the entire platform. A fairly symmetrical map, Plaza has several "meet-up" spots where everyone seems to flood together. Plaza is a close-quarters map located on a resort floating in the Indian Ocean. Other than that game mode, however, the symmetry is just a bit too much for me, which is why Express comes in at number 9. Being able to climb in or on top of stationary trains makes things interesting, and a moving train that appears every few minutes can take out any unsuspecting victims standing on the tracks. It is a very symmetrical map that offers good medium- and long-range engagements, perfect for snipers, LMGs, and ARs. There was a chance I would've put Slums in front of it, but that premonition dissipated when I hopped on an Overflow TDM match a few days ago and went 31-1 (S/O to the Scar-H).Įxpress is located at a Los Angeles train station. Overall, I can't complain too much about this map. There are good sniping lanes and great spots for objective game modes. Fortunately, I started using snipers more often and found myself enjoying Overflow. When Black Ops II dropped, I hated this map - it felt too cluttered and annoying for my taste. Overflow is a busy, urban map located in the streets of Peshawar, Pakistan. Now we are getting into a slightly better tier of maps. Nothing super negative to say about Slums. I originally enjoyed this map, but it's become harder to appreciate as time goes on. If you never hung out in the dark electronics room with a shotgun, then did you really play this map? Not only does that room connect A- and B-DOM in Domination, but it a vital stronghold for other modes like S&D. This Panama map has some pretty intense choke points, which can make for exciting matches depending on the game mode.
