Players of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are expressing a strong desire for an expanded version of the beloved Nuketown map. They are particularly interested in opening up the main road and additional houses to create more space for gunfights, specifically to alleviate issues like spawn-trapping in modes such as Nuketown 24/7 and Chaos Nuketown. The upcoming Season 3 Reloaded will introduce a new variant called “Blazetown,” further fueling excitement within the community. Nuketown has been a staple in the Call of Duty franchise for years and remains a fan favorite.
Despite having retained its original design, it was incorporated into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 shortly after its release on November 1. Following the launch, players could enjoy the Nuketown 24/7 mode, which allowed endless matches on this iconic map. A notable update in April brought Chaos Nuketown, a variant designed for 10v10 matches that increased score and time limits, heightening the action and offering players opportunities to utilize double XP tokens during intense close-range fights. Within the community, players like Reddit user Stegosaurus69 advocate for a more expansive Nuketown to improve the existing gameplay experience.
They argue that by enlarging the map, particularly opening the houses and main road, it could help mitigate the longstanding spawn-trapping issues related to the map since its introduction in 2010’s Call of Duty: Black Ops. Others have even proposed separate playlist modes for the expanded version and the classic Nuketown, giving players options in their match selections. While no official plans for an expanded Nuketown have been confirmed, the forthcoming Season 3 Reloaded will unveil Blazetown, a 420-themed rendition of the original. Players can also look forward to new gameplay experiences, including unique modes like Joint Operations, which will feature various modifiers, making for a fresh and engaging experience in Black Ops 6.
