Nuketown (map)

"Nuclear testing grounds. Lots of fast paced action."

- Nuketown's map description

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

Overview
Nuketown is one of the smallest maps in the Call of Duty series, being slightly smaller than the Call of Duty: World at War map Dome. The map is based on a typical U.S. suburb used to demonstrate the effects of a nuclear weapon on a residential area; mannequins as well as accessible buildings and vehicles appear throughout the map. At the end of every game played on Nuketown, a nuclear bomb goes off.

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.

If players shoot the heads off all the mannequins in the playable area (excluding the mannequins inside of the bus) in 15 seconds, The Rolling Stones' song "Sympathy for the Devil" plays in the background. 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.

During all Double XP events, there is a multiplayer playlist called Nuketown 24/7, which played all gametypes, but only on the Nuketown map.
