Treyarch Removes Nuketown 2025 Playlist From Black Ops 2

If you’ve been enjoying that Nuketown 2025 map that you got as a part of your pre-order of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, then I might have some bad news for you.

Treyarch game design director David Vonderhaar announced the following a short time ago on Twitter:

Double XP weekend is official over. That means Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 is as well. I know. RIGHT? Don’t kill the messenger. Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 will be back for special events. You can always play it with your friends in Custom Games.

So, as of now—and as far as I understand it, so feel free to correct me in the comments below if I’m wrong on this—the playlist that allowed for playing Nuketown 24/7 is now gone, the map isn’t part of the public rotation for maps, and Nuketown 2025 is only available at this point in Custom Games.

Vonderhaar did say the following when asked on Twitter if the map would be available in regular playlists as a follow-up:

Yeah. Probably eventually. We are talking that over internally.

So, there you go. Seeing as how Nuketown 2025 was a pre-order bonus for the game, I’ve already come across some fans of the game getting pretty upset over this move.

wow so every person that pre ordered black ops2 for the nuketown 2025 map just got screwed

Dont get this gme hate it fuckinggg blows

Don't listen to him Hate, its the best COD since COD4! As long as you like bad hit detection, guns that don't work, terribly designed maps, perks that are worthless (like Ghost) and game modes like Demolition and CTF that changed for the worse! So I say go for it!


Also, they added Nuketown back, but now its in a Mosh pit type of play list.

Damn crappy, always stealing my thunder. Anyways, let's look at it a different way: There's no OP gun yet that we can complain about

Anyways, it includes maps like Hijack (the cruise ship) that are intended to be small like nuketown. SO yeah, we can play that from now on probs.

That map is super bad for spawn camping

sounds like a slapping
