As much as I'm enjoying the maps of Black Ops 7, there's no doubt that in a few years time I'll have completely forgotten about most of them. Why? Because at their core they're essenatially all rectangles! Does anyone else remember when 3-lane maps still had a bit of imagination in their design? It wasn't a case of 'run straight forward in one of three lanes'?
I've noticed this trend in Call of Duty for a few years now and it's honestly depressing. Looking back at most Black Ops 1 maps, they had character. They weren't just narrow funnels and respected the players inteeligence a bit more that 'just run forward lol'.
I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on this map design trend.
