Nothing will get previous Name of Responsibility followers. It took all of 48 hours for Black Ops 6 gamers to note that a few of its 6v6 multiplayer maps are literally simply factors of curiosity plucked from what may be very probably the subsequent Warzone map arriving in Season 1.
It is huge, it is inexperienced, and it is at present very low element. Welcome to Avalon (in all probability):
Not a lot to have a look at proper now, however do not pay an excessive amount of thoughts to the blurry textures. The one technique to take a fly-by tour of Avalon proper now could be by creating a personal match on one of many maps that exists on the bigger Avalon landmass (so far as I do know, that is Redcard, Lowtown, and perhaps Skyline) because the “CoD Caster” position and freecamming proper out of the map boundary. The sport solely renders the 6v6 map in full element, so all the pieces outdoors of it appears like a mid-budget PS1 sport.
It is kinda lovely to see map geometry stripped right down to its naked requirements. I godmoded round Avalon for some time and snapped some postcard pics from my favourite areas that do not have names but (so I made some up):
Resort Blur
Skrunkle Pier
Three Orb Gorge
Lowtown (Wrinkly)
Microsoft Flight Sim
Blurderburg
Not Touchdown Right here
Bridge
Golf Battle
Not like the skyboxes of standard CoD maps, which are inclined to render a half-mile or so of blurry hills or bushes earlier than changing into a bottomless void from which none can escape, flying outdoors of Redcard reveals total cities, landmarks, and would not you understand, a low-res model of Lowtown itself. There is no purpose for all of this tremendous far-off stuff to exist if it did not serve some greater function, which is why that is clearly a Warzone map. A fairly big one, too: it takes over a minute simply to cross the factor at superhuman speeds.
Although Activision in all probability will not be prepared to speak about it till someday subsequent month, all indicators level to Avalon being the first Warzone map for six months a minimum of. It is definitely the prettiest one the collection has produced since Al Mazrah, although I reckon some gamers might be bummed that we’re not getting that remastered model of Verdansk till spring of 2025.
