Summit

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

Overview
The map features snowy terrain, and was first seen in the multiplayer teaser released August 2010. Summit is based in the Ural Mountains. This map also seems to bear resemblance to the map "Sub Base" in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It's possible the singleplayer mission "WMD" is based off this map as some campaign levels are actually based off multiplayer maps, not vice versa.

Multiplayer
Summit is a narrow map with severe drops on all sides. It was the first ever Black Ops multiplayer map to be revealed, being shown in an early multiplayer trailer released by Treyarch which also featured Launch. The two teams that are available here are Black Ops and the Spetsnaz. Summit features plenty of variety when it comes to buildings and platforms. The interior of one large building in the middle is the most open area on the Summit map, with most of it made up of narrow gaps and pathways. It is a map with lots of small spaces for the player to hide in. Spawn trapping is very easy if the other team has the A flag.

Summit looks somewhat similar to Sub Base (Modern Warfare 2), in that it is a snowy environment with small spaces and narrow areas. The most notable difference is that Summit is at the "summit" of a mountain whereas Sub Base is at sea level.

Trivia

 * The player can indeed reach the cable car at the edge of the map, by making a sprinting jump and quickly tapping the climb/jump button again when right in front of the car. If you fail to do so, you will simply hit the step and fall to your death.
 * It is also possible to get on the tower near the cable car. Get on the control board in the center of the large main building (shaped like a "T"). Run and jump to the walkway opposite the control board, press the climb button as you near it. Once on, break the window and jump towards the tower. If you don't make it all the way on top but near the rail, your player has the ability to pull himself up (A, X, Space, the Wii jump button).
 * If you fall off the cliff, you will notice that you actually are on a very tall mountain, hence the name "Summit."thumb|300px|right
 * Any equipment planted in the cable car will be rendered useless (a bug with moving entities) and your teammate will have the ability to pickup your equipment regardless of what they have on their class. If they pick it up, however, it will not add to their inventory but will be removed from the map, essentially destroying it.
 * It is impossible to plant a tactical insertion inside the cable car.
 * On the west cliff, there is a sign near the edge warning players not to get too close.
 * When the Dogs killstreak reward is called in they will spawn on the helideck with a Hind on it.
 * This is one of the few maps in Black Ops where a well aimed tomahawk can kill at the start of the match after spawning.

Tips

 * It is advised that you have the C flag in domination as the team will have higher ground to fight in, but it is indeed harder to spawn trap because of all the possible routes out of the spawn trap.
