Call of Duty’s Blackout map has been revealed
Preston Byers After months of speculation, Activision has officially announced what the map will look like in the Call of Duty battle royale mode, Blackout.
As developers said at its initial reveal, the Blackout map features parts of past maps in the Black Ops franchise. Nuketown Island, Cargo Docks, Firing Range, and Turbine are just a few of the named locations on the map, which is the largest map in CoD history, according to Activision.
Treyarch had been leaking images on pieces of the map to content creators over the past day. With all of the different pieces, fans attempted to put them together to complete the map puzzle.
