Nuketown 2025

"The fan favorite returns, reimagined in a vision of the future!"

- Map description

Nuketown 2025 is a downloadable map released for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It was available for free on November 13 to anyone who pre-ordered the game, purchased a launch copy, or purchased the Hardened edition or the "Care Package" limited special edition of the game. The map is a remake of Nuketown, a map which first appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops. While still focusing on close quarters combat, the map is now meant to represent a "Model Home of the Future" for 2025.

As of November 19, 2012, the Nuketown 2025 / 24/7 playlist was removed and replaced with a playlist titled Chaos Moshpit. It includes all close quarters maps with a variety of gamemodes.

Gameplay
The Seals start at the north end of the map, and the Mercs at the south end. Just like the original Nuketown map, close quarters combat is favored due to the small map size.

Trivia

 * Shooting the heads off of all the mannequins within two minutes of the beginning of the match will cause the screen board to display the Activision logo in retro style. The player will then be able to approach it and play the classic Atari games Pitfall!, Hero, Kaboom!, and River Raid. The hands that the player gets to control the joystick are based off the first person model for the game Doom.
 * If the player looks directly at the sun, it can be seen that it gives a glare in the shape of an atom.
 * Nuketown 2025 is more of a "Home of the Future" type of map, while Nuketown is more of a nuclear testing zone.
 * There is a small double rainbow in the second floor of the orange house.
 * The green "Hydro Car" strongly resembles the 1955 Lincoln Futura concept.
 * The RC-XD passage outside the map is still present from the original Nuketown.
 * The letterboxes outside the two houses reads Woods and Mason.
 * There is a picture upstairs in Woods' house that shows the original Nuketown from Call of Duty: Black Ops in it.
 * There are postcards upstairs in both houses showing pictures of the map. Some of these are the postcards Treyarch showed before the map was revealed.
 * The flags lining the entrance include the logos of Treyarch and Raven Software, along with multiplayer factions from both Black Ops II and Black Ops. The factions are: Seals, Mercs, ISA, SDC, FBI, Militia, Spetnaz, Black Ops, Op 40, Tropas, SOG and NVA.
 * There is a model of the Welcome to Nuketown sign from the original Nuketown on the shelves upstairs in Mason's house.
 * Just like in the original Nuketown map, the books read Edward Richtofen upstairs in Mason's house.
