- "Research facility on a snowy mountain. Fight from all angles."
- — Summit's map description
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 in 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 Campaign mission "WMD" is based off this map, or 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.
Trivia
- The player can 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 to mantle into it. If the player fails to do so, they will fall to their death.
- The player can also get onto the tower near the cable car. To do this, they must first go to the building that is in the center of the map. After doing so, they should now go on top of the computers in the middle then sprint jump onto the ledge across from it. During the jump, they must press the climb/jump button again to go over the barrier. From there, break the glass if necessary, then jump onto the tower.
- Any equipment planted in the cable car will be rendered useless and the player's teammates will have the ability to pick up their 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.
- 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 helipad with the Hind on it.
- There is a smiley face in the ice in the loading screen of Summit.
- This map appeared to be much darker in the Multiplayer Reveal Trailer. The sky was darker and the map had less color than it does in the final game.
