Roundhouse

Roundhouse is a multiplayer map in Call of Duty: World at War. It was released during the beta and carried on into the full game. It was the only map in the beta that had tanks, and thus it was one of the most played maps, and still is with the release of the game. Roundhouse is a fairly large and open map, however it has side passages and a round building in the middle. It is a very good level for snipers and tanks both. This map maybe considered an even match, even though the Soviet spawn gets a height advantage for sniping, a quick Wehrmacht sniper may easily counter snipe any Soviet sniper due to the probability of a sniper going up there. Once a Wehrmacht sniper reaches the long catwalk, the Soviets will be under a lot of pressure. If anything, if the Soviets can control the catwalk long enough to do some damage, the Soviets might well win the battle. Typical blobing of the enemy team may occur near the wrecked train at the Soviet spawn, point, as some players may be too scared that Wehrmacht snipers may pick them off one by one if they reveal their position and run for it. Another blobing point is at the Soviet building, both teams maybe trapped there if the spawn point gets there. The battle is usually decided from the battle of the two tanks, whoever wins the tank battle usually wins the game theoretically, but the Wehrmacht Panzer IV can be eliminated easily if fire are from the top of the catwalks. People place bouncing bettys in the rubble so people entering the roundhouse get killed.

Trivia
Roundhouse, on some systems, is one of a few maps that has several glitches that are exploited, creating frustration for many players. This glitching has continued even after the game developers have release patches for some of them. Specifically on the Xbox 360, both teams will usually run to the glitch spot to access the glitch.

This map is not available in the Wii version.
