Alboran Hatchery is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II that was released on May 10th, 2023 as part of the Season Three Reloaded update. It is a Core Map designed for 6v6 matches.
Overview[]
Layout[]
Alboran Hatchery is a medium-sized 6v6 map set at a fish hatchery at Cape Vilan in Galicia, Spain that favors medium-range combat, with a few key long-range sightlines and plenty of opportunities for close-range combat. SpecGru's spawn is at the south end of the map at the shipping area behind the storage building, while KorTac's spawn is at the north end of the map at the loading area between the fishery warehouse, side entrance and side containers.
The storage building in front of SpecGru's spawn has roof access, with skylights that look down into the building below. Additionally, the roof allows for long sightlines to the road and electrical station at the east end of the map, as well as the mid containers situated between the storage building and fishery warehouse. The loading area at the KorTac spawn also has various pieces of construction equipment and smaller structures the player can stand on to gain access to a similar sightline; both of these high positions however leave the player exposed.
Because of SpecGru's larger sightline over the map, the south side of the map they spawn in has an uphill incline, dubbed in-game as the grassy knoll, leading up to the mid containers and northeast end of the map, while the north sides of the map will already be at the same elevation as the middle area.
Both main buildings, the storage building and fishery warehouse respectively, have side paths that wrap around each building; the fishery warehouse has the side trail and back trail on the west and north sides of the building respectively and the loading area to the east, while the storage building has an industrial area on its west side with a staircase leading up to the mid containers and the main entrance on its east side that branches out to the generators and electrical station. Each main building has a large-open room filled with equipment and crates to provide cover.
The east side of the map is relatively open. The KorTac spawn will have access to the side containers, which has an elevation advantage overlooking the other points of interest on this side of the map, those being the electrical station and the main entrance and generators by SpecGru's spawn. The foreman's office connected to the storage building by SpecGru's spawn, which has an accessible rooftop by the main entrance called the foreman's roof, also has an equal elevation to KorTac's side containers, though this rooftop is considerable smaller in comparison to the adjacent storage building rooftop.
At the center of the map is the mid containers area, featuring five large circular fish containers that act as the only form of cover. The west end of this area is where the staircase from the industrial area and fishery warehouse's side trail connect to each other; a stack of crates are placed in the exposed area between these paths to prevent a direct sightline. East of the mid containers are two trucks that are parked on the road connecting the loading area to the main entrance, providing more cover against the storage building rooftops.
