Multiplayer Maps
There are 15 original maps of different sizes and locations. I will give the pictures of the maps, a brief description, and pictures of some of the game modes for that map. Not all maps can play every playlist on the console versions in ranked matches, however they can on private matches. Demolition and Search and Destroy (SND) sometimes share similar bomb sites, and Capture the Flag (CTF) are in the same vicinity of the Sabotage bomb sites. They include:
