New Miami Strike Map In Black Ops Cold War 'Better Than Original'
Treyarch is ditching the shores and leaving Mardi Gras Miami in peace as Spring Break is about to erupt. Instead of blockading the strip and bombarding the beaches, Treyarch is releasing Miami Strike - a 6v6 map that resides in just a mere corner of the Miami map as we know it.
Nighttime will also turn to dawn, as we get to see the morning after the night out in its finest hours. The map will be ascended into a summer paradise where the beach balls glisten off the reflection of the docks, and the dark corners will be no longer a hiding spot for the pesky lurkers, rather a beacon catching them in the open getting a tan.
Miami Strike will close off nearly three-quarters of the map and will be located in and around the nightclub area, including the docks, garages, and a slither of the mid-street. Whereas Miami stans so far will be sniper maniacs holding down every angle of the shore, Miami Strike will favour the submachine gun meta with many tight nook and crannies. There may be room to wiggle in an assault rifle should you know your bearings well, but expect players pushing you from every angle.
The map will come into the rotation as of next week (presumably coinciding with the weekly Thursday update) and will also be gifted its own 24/7 moshpit playlist consisting of game modes such as Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and Kill Confirmed.
As a polar opposite of its predecessor, the map will be one of the smallest on the game and centralise around the B-bomb site that professional players will have become accustomed to.
Without a single-player stepping foot in the new design, it's already being branded as better than the original, presumably due to the hatred for the public lobby Miami games that are near unbearable.
Sun's out, guns out soldiers. Happy tanning.
