Flanking was an option, but tough to try alone due to the open space and the fact that each building was relatively easy to defend by a team. If you weren’t using a sniper rifle on this map you were almost guaranteed a negative kill-to-death ratio, as attempting to fight close-quarters usually made you an easy target. The tribulations of this map were not exaggerated despite being very large, most of the action took place in a central courtyard, with sniper battles raging between two apartment buildings on each side.

Modern Warfare in particular still stood out to me as a solid online experience, and with that fun system in place there also has to come a great selection of maps right?

I recently returned to the series after a long hiatus and checked out the multiplayer components for nearly every major Call of Duty release since the series’ debut in 2003.
