- 's map description

For the gamemode based on this map, see Nuketown 24/7.

Nuketown is a small multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Overview
Nuketown is the smallest map in Call of Duty: Black Ops, being slightly smaller than the Call of Duty: World at War map "Dome". The map is based on a typical US suburb used to demonstrate the effects of a nuclear weapon on a residential area; mannequins as well as accessible buildings and vehicles are shown across the map. There is a special alley for the RC-XD to travel without the danger of being shot. This track leads to the rear of the enemy spawn. Nuketown also features an internet meme, the double rainbowand the names of certain characters on the post boxes outside the houses. It also features a nuclear weapon going off at the end of every game. If players shoot the heads off all the mannequins in the playable area (excluding the mannequins inside of the bus) in 15 seconds causes The Rolling Stones' song; "Sympathy for the Devil" to play for the players. Also there are supports that act as ladders that can be climbed to get onto the rack that players land on when jumping out the window. These supports are on both of the houses.

Another interesting thing about Nuketown is the population sign. When in front of the green house there is a city sign with the text "Nuketown". Below that a population count is shown that actually is the number of players in the game at the moment. There is also an announcer who states how much time is left until the match ends and the nuke drops.

At one point in time there was a new "limited time only" multiplayer playlist called Nuketown 24/7, which only played Nuketown but had every gamemode. It was a limited time engagement.
