Kowloon

Kowloon is a multiplayer map in the new First Strike map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is to take place in the city of Kowloon, Hong Kong itself. It introduces a completely new feature for Call of Duty multiplayer, ziplines which can be used to quickly transverse the map from point A to point B, but the user is completely exposed and unable to use weapons while using them.

Overview
Kowloon is great for all combat due to its high buildings and paths. There are two ziplines in the map that can let a player travel from one side to the other, but as noted above, you are completely exposed. Due to it's small size, it is perfect for short range combat, and being at night, it is perfect for campers or snipers too. The player should be wary that there are numerous entrances to many of the buildings, so attention should be taken for other possible players sneaking up on your position. The map also features several high rooftops and posts to snipe from.

Trivia

 * This is the first map so far in the entire Call of Duty series (excluding Zombies) to have a zipline.
 * Two ziplines are featured, both stemming from a central building in the map and leading to the two opposite sides of the map.


 * Although this map seems to resemble its counterpart single-player mission, developers say the map is built from the ground up.
 * Names of possible developers are located on fuseboxes to the maps eastern section.
 * There are monkeys in this map like in the mission Rebirth. However, these monkeys are in bulletproof glass containers.
