With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the hype around Nuketown has never been higher. In a game that was drastically needing some more engaging maps, Nuketown '84 swooped in to save the day in typical Treyarch fashion, stripping the map back to its basics with trippy graffiti being its only spruce. 

Nobody can deny that when they're tearing through Nuketown on a 17-kill streak that the thought of doing this in real life sounds amazing. Who wouldn't want to duck and dive around the centrally located yellow school bus with a clip full of paint, picking players off the dastardly head glitches in the top windows? 

Well, your dreams could become reality if you ever run through the state of Illinois, United States. 

Based out of Chicago, Paintball Explosion is an Airsoft and Paintball arena that have recreated Nuketown as the ultimate battleground to test your real-life gun skills or have a blast with friends, quite literally.

The 1x1 model of the Black Ops 1 classic is a Call of Duty fans haven, despite some slight differences. The main difference is the lack of gap through the firetrucks' midriff, but the fundamentals of the map remain, including some finer details such as mannequins overlooking the gardens. 

The YouTube video showcases the same colourful routes of the map and the typical lanes of sights are adapted, especaiily those around the sides of both houses and around the epicentre. 

With the Airsoft element taking this map to a new level, it is also suitable for less experienced gunners, and even new paintball fanatics, making it a perfect landmark for Call of Duty fans to visit.
