Grid

Grid is a medium-sized multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Overview
It is a series of small buildings, hangars, and generators across a snowy land, with a power/comms grid at one end. This map is supposed to resemble a communications antenna, similar to the Duga-3 array near Chernobyl (codenamed Russian woodpecker). On the East side of the map, a large area with many trees is the ideal spot for snipers, and anyone with white snow gear will blend in the trees.

The map has been compared to Derail from Modern Warfare 2, as it is a snowy environment with buildings and trees on the outskirts.

So far there are 2 known tunnels made specifically for the RC-XD, one located in a pipe outside in the trees area to the East, and one in another building in the North to North-East area.

This map is often quiet, and is usually open to more stealthy gameplay than that of other maps. Capture the Flag matches usually end in overtime. This is because (provided teams are balanced) one of the flag spots is out in the open, offering little in the way of tactical flag running, and both teams will most likely win a round.

The terrain is snow, with many trees on the East side of the map and hangers on the West side. Out side the map, many trees can be seen for miles, indicating that it is in a rural area, similar to a snowy Chernobyl (Which could be a nod to COD 4's Bloc). A large mountain scape can be spotted in the distance to the East side of the map (behind one of the team's spawn points in team based gamemodes).

If the player is spectating or is in "Free Camera" in Theater mode, they can go above the map and spot mountains surrounding the map close by to the North, South, and East. The mountains to the West are in the distance and the sun can be seen just setting over them, indicating that the time of day in the map is early evening.

Trivia

 * There are fire extinguishers in some of the buildings. A shot would knock them off the wall, and a second shot will cause it to explode, damaging or even killing anyone close enough to the explosion.
 * You can melee trash bags and make them flatten and drop paper(hit top).
 * If you are quiet, You can hear the pylons buzzing and sparking in the background.
 * A glitch can happen that makes gunshots, explosions, jets, etc. echo forever until the round or match ends.
