Carrier (map)

"Chinese Supercarrier. Open engagements on the deck, with great close quarters fights in the passageways."

- Map description

Carrier is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It takes place on a Chinese aircraft carrier, and makes for a very tight and close quarters environment for fighting. It pits Seal Team Six against the SDC, and is available in all game modes.

Layout and positions
Based on a Chinese supercarrier, the map features a large amount of obstacles stopping most long range combat. On the right side of the map is the island of the carrier, but only the bottom levels are accessible. The bottom right corner has a jet parked, which can be shot under if the player is crouched. The only ways up from this area are the ladder on the right and the stairwell. Because of its lowered position, players are vulnerable to attacks from above. Just to the left of the parked jet are two adjacent jets at normal height. They can be climbed over, utilizing a ladder on each side. This represents one of only two positions with enough height to shoot over the barriers.

Bottom left features a helipad, which has three ways in. This is a major flare up for conflicts, since there are four spawn locations near it. There is a lowered walkway behind the helipad, where players can spawn. Top left features a raised ramp, the highest position in the map. Crouched, one can shoot while remaining a relatively small target. However, the sides are massively exposed, compromising this position in FFA games.

Trivia

 * The co-ordinates shown when a player uses a Tactical Insertion shows the location of the carrier to be roughly seven hundred miles off the east coast of Japan in the.
 * On the far right side of the map there is a series of jumps to get from the top right to the bottom right corner.
 * In the room near the SDC spawn, there is a machine with three computer screens, the left and right displaying the logo of the winning team, and the middle displaying a desktop.
