Arkaden

Arkaden is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Arkaden is a German shopping center, located in Berlin. The map is mostly close quarters, with much of the action taking place inside the bombed out mall portion of the map.

The factions are the Special Air Service (SAS) and the Russian Spetsnaz.

Overview
Arkaden is a medium sized map, with the two main spawn points at the street in front of the mall (SAS Spawn), and the loading bay behind the mall (Spetnaz Spawn). The two main areas of the map are the mall itself and a courtyard/hotel area. The main building has many glass roofs, so can still be affected by air support. It has two levels, both with prominent lines of sight, and the second story looks over the courtyard. The courtyard seperates the hotel from the mall and is littered with debris and rubble, including a crashed helicopter, which can be climbed on and used for cover. The hotel consists of two main rooms, the bar and the lounge. One of the walls in the lounge is knocked out, so it is open to almost all angles, and the bar has large glass windows, also leaving it open for attack.

Survival
In Survival, Arkaden is a Tier 4 map and has the difficulty of Insane. The player starts with the M16A4 with Red Dot, the Five Seven and 250 Armor. The hostiles include Bomb Squads, Chemical Agents, Claymore Experts, Choppers & Armored Juggernauts.

Trivia

 * The fast-food chain Burger Town makes an appearance in this level.
 * If the player looks into the kitchen in the Burger Town there is a giant teddy bear with a star on its heart.
 * There is a walkway around the side of one of the buildings allowing a good view onto the fountain and the surrounding courtyard.
 * It is unknown why the S.A.S, instead of the German Armed Forces, are fighting the Spetsnaz.
