Berlin Wall
Berlin Wall is a medium-large urban snow set terrain map set in Germany with several large buildings and a "No-man's land", where indestructible automatic turrets fire at the player if they step on the territory. The "No-man's land" is highlighted in red on the mini-map to show its danger. There is also a small path in the middle of "No-man's land" which leads to both sides of the map. The map is good for camping, sniping, and long range combat. There are several windows/holes that can see great distances (such as over to the other side of the map), making this map ideal for snipers or campers. On one side of the map there is an ally checkpoint, with small security buildings, gates and tanks. The "No-man's land" is great for a quick getaway, but the player must consider it at the risk of having to face the Auto Turrets. It has now been confirmed that there is a way to get through 'No Mans Land' with out the need of perks etc. If the player throws smoke grenades and runs through the smoke, the turrets will not shoot.
discovery
Discovery is a map based around a desolate, frozen German outpost in the Arctic Circle. It also appears to be based around "Project Nova". There is a chasm in the center of the map which features a destructible ice bridge. The easiest way to destroy the bridge is with a launcher. There are also two additional ice structures that bridge the chasm that can be destroyed. It is friendly to long-range weaponry but also features a few close-quarters areas in building and at vital areas that bridge the gap between the two sides.
A player might find it useful to use a Sniper Rifle. An ideal location to snipe from the ice cave located on the south side of the map. The cave is reached by simply walking through the entrance. The Variable Zoom attachment is helpful for this map as is the Suppressor attachment. A Shotgun or Ballistic Knife may also be useful because of the map's limited close quarter action.

kowloon
Kowloon is suited for all types of combat due to its high buildings and paths. There are two ziplines in the map that can let a player travel from one side to the other, but as noted above, anyone using them is completely exposed and cannot use their weapons while ziplining.In a game with twelve or more players on this map the odds of being shot and killed before finish ziplining are high. The player should be wary that there are numerous entrances to many of the buildings, so you should pay attention and watch out for other players sneaking up on your position. The map also features several high rooftops and posts from which to pick off enemies with a sniper rifle. In addition, the main zipline building can be used as a vantage point.
stadium
Stadium, also named Chance Stadium (as seen on some magazines) is a hockey rink, home to the fictional hockey team, the New York Atomics. Stadium is located in New York City, and looks to be in one of the major sections. It's a medium sized map with light cover everywhere, where Hardened may come in handy. Most people sniping will either stay in the building by the defending team's spawn in Search and Destroy, the cafeteria, where there is a scaffolding, or on top of what appears to be a fitness center. Since this map is more of a CQB map, Sub Machine Guns and Shotguns are preferred. Killstreaks such Attack Dogs and Gunship are also popular due to the CQB nature of this map. Rushers are also every common in this map.
ascension (zomBies)
Ascension takes place in an abandoned Soviet Cosmodrome. The map features Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki, and Edward Richtofen as playable characters and includes two new Wonder Special Grenades, the Gersch Device and Matryoshka Dolls(replacing the Monkey Bombs), as well as new perks such as PhD Flopper and Stamin-Up. Double Tap Root Beer does not appear. A new enemy, called Space monkeys, also appear in this map, replacing the Hellhounds and Pentagon Thief (from Shi No Numa/Der Riese/Kino der Toten and "Five" respectively). A new power-up, Random Perk Bottle is also available.
