Call of Duty pros call for Vanguard to add classic maps from MW3, WW2 & more ActivisionCall of Duty League pros are reminiscing about older maps ahead of the Vanguard 2022 season. Looking back at games like Modern Warfare 3 and WW2, they\u2019ve named some maps they\u2019d like to see return. Bringing back classic maps is a key cornerstone of the CoD franchise. With a new game every year, principally designed by one of three developers, each title is a chance to dive into some nostalgia. While the casual Nuketown and Shipment maps are practically constants in the FPS series, other maps don\u2019t get as much love. While Black Ops Cold War brought back competitive locales like Raid, Express, and Standoff \u2013 Vanguard hasn\u2019t been quite as reminiscent. So, with the map pool determined for the start of the CDL 2022 season, we asked players what was missing. Minnesota ROKKR didn\u2019t shy away from the question, naming a bunch of classics they think would fit Vanguard. CoD pros reveal MW3 and WW2 maps they want in Vanguard Asked @ROKKR if they like any of the CDL 2022 maps and if bringing back USS Texas could help. Turns out they’d prefer some other throwbacks, like Arkaden, Bootleg, London Docks, and Sainte Marie \ud83d\udc40 pic.twitter.com\/Wx0kP3Q2ow \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) February 1, 2022 After being asked about the current competitive map pool, the players didn\u2019t exactly seem thrilled. Maps like London Docks and USS Texas have been rumored for potential remakes, though, which means the options could be changing. While Michael \u2018MajorManiak\u2019 Szymaniak said USS Texas would be \u201cone of the last maps\u201d he wants added, the team did name some others they\u2019d prefer: Arkaden (MW3) – Bootleg (MW3) – Sainte Marie (WW2) – London Docks (WW2) – From London Docks and Arkaden to Strike and Bootleg, CoD pros have been talking about OG maps a lot lately\u2026 Which map’s return are you hoping for? \ud83e\udd14 pic.twitter.com\/V7TubV3cEa \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) February 2, 2022 Another pro player, the New York Subliners\u2019 Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter, has also been speaking about classic maps recently. In a tweet, he called CoD 4\u2019s Strike \u201cthe best Call of Duty map of all time for both pubs and competitive.\u201d Unfortunately, Strike is originally an Infinity Ward map so it\u2019s unlikely it gets repurposed for Vanguard. The other four, however, all have bases in games developed (or co-developed) by Sledgehammer Games, so there\u2019s a chance they could come back. With the newest CoD title already sitting on 20 maps, it\u2019s unclear when new maps will be added \u2013 or which ones will make the cut. If the pros had their way, we know which ones would lead the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
