Cracked

"Streets of Vietnam. Close engagements in and out of war-torn buildings."

- 's map description

Cracked is a large-sized multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Overview
Cracked was first seen being played by community VIPs during the multiplayer reveal for the game. It's also the basis for the singleplayer campaign mission, The Defector. In the middle of the map there are one or two buildings with lots of cracked terrain, hence the name, Cracked. This is where the B flag for Domination is located.

Tips and Tricks

 * The main point of this map is the "bridge" in the middle, this can be controlled by Snipers as well as any other rifles from a considerable distance. A good place to be is at the edge of the map, lying down. If you are using this technique it is recommended to equip any weapon except for Shotguns. ACOG scopes are recommended as well as variable zoom in sniper rifles. Claymores should be used. Killstreaks are "medium range" meaning that anything from 3-7 kills is recommended, air drops are not recommended, as they waste time, but still can be used.
 * Another place for controlling the center bridge is a little house at the side of it. This house can be accessed from 2 places, so a Claymore should be place on the door that is not the one of the bridge.

Trivia

 * On the map it is possible to see the "Peace" symbol, which was common in the 60's.
 * In one of the north-west buildings on the minimap there is a clock on the wall that goes exactly the same as your local home time. It is in the house closest to C3 on the mini map, on the ground floor against the stair case.
 * The bus found in this level is the same bus found in Hanoi.
 * In the early stages, this map was going to be called Slaughterhouse, just like the level The Defector.
 * This is one of the less played maps, if not the least.
 * The map bears a resemblance to the Hue City in the movie Full Metal Jacket.
 * The beds on the map that are found in many buildings can block explosions from Grenades, Semtex and C4.
 * Written on the wall near one of the teams spawn points is "Phai Trai No Mau". Translated from Vietnamese to English means "Pay with blood".
 * The dusty camo works best on this map.
