Top 10 Best Call of Duty Maps of All-time

Terminal

Set in a Russian airport, Terminal features both indoor concourses and outdoor tarmac areas. It first appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Very balanced. Sniping routes mixed with close-quarter assault rifle and SMG fighting. Long lanes with flanking routes allow for unique Search and Destroy. A great map.

No competition. Best map ever. It has everything that anyone wants: long corridors for snipers, tight areas for SMGs, and open space for rushers.

This map is just perfect! I don't know why, but it's just right. Best Call of Duty map in history.

Nuketown

Inspired by a 1950s nuclear test site, Nuketown is a small, symmetrical map with close-quarters combat. It debuted in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Whether you're playing 2010 or 2025, you can always count on Nuketown for non-stop action and heaps and heaps of kills. Best thing of all is that there is nowhere to camp.
Not too sure about zombies, though. It gets a bit dull after a while. All in all, a sick map.

Definitely the best map in the whole of Call of Duty. What noob would even think that Crossfire, Highrise, and Terminal are better than this?
It's so beast that Treyarch remade the map by saying Nuketown 2025. But the zombies get kinda hard and boring because you need to wait for perks to drop, like Juggernog at round 20-30.

Shipment

Shipment is a compact, square map set in a shipping yard filled with cargo containers. It first appeared in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Take Rust from MW2, halve it, and you get Shipment. It's just a square map with cargo dropped in it, yet it is so fun to play. If you were a good enough player, you could get a K/D of around 100-40.

Bloc

Bloc is set between two apartment complexes in a snowy, war-torn Eastern European city. It was part of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

I remember loving this map on Call of Duty 4.

I used to hate this map at first, but it grew on me and became a favorite.

Highrise

Located atop a skyscraper, Highrise features elevated walkways and a central helipad. It originally launched with Modern Warfare 2.

My all-time favorite map! Fast action gameplay, dozens of attack options, air support galore, great for rushing, sniping, and assault rifles. It has everything!
What makes a great map is when you remember something special about it, a spark that you get whenever you play it: knowing exactly where to go and where to hide. Two base warfare? That hidden rooftop area? The crane on the side? Remember hiding from that AC-130 when it's in the air? That's Highrise!

Crash

Crash is an urban map centered around a downed helicopter in a Middle Eastern town. It was introduced in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Loved this map. Call of Duty 4 maps should rank from 1 and on in order.

Gustav Cannon

Set in a European countryside, Gustav Cannon features a massive railway gun and long sightlines. It appeared in Call of Duty: WWII.

Favela

Set in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, Favela combines tight alleys with multi-level buildings. It debuted in Modern Warfare 2.

Great fun to be had here. Private football matches. Knives only. I wish all the maps could be made available to all the releases. That would be amazing.

Firing Range

This training facility map has various target zones and mock structures, offering a mix of short and medium-range encounters. It was introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Considered to be the best map of BO1 by many, Firing Range has just the right amount of action without the fear of being surrounded.
This map could play like Nuketown or Jungle, depending on how it was used. Perfect for every game mode.

I love this map! It's not big or small. It has openness to it, yet it has lots of close combat areas. I guess it makes sense. A firing/training range would really have it all!

I always go to a certain spot in the map and snipe everybody.

Rust

Rust is a tiny desert oil yard with a central tower that dominates the layout. It was first featured in Modern Warfare 2.

Nuketown doesn't even beat it for me! I really wish this was in later games.

1v1 me on Rust. Such a classic map that is always a welcome remaster.

Stormfront

This urban map features a rain-soaked city with tall buildings and open plazas. It appeared in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

?

Freight

Freight is set in a snowy shipping yard with warehouses and moving train cars. It was introduced in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Nuketown 2025

A reimagined version of the original, Nuketown 2025 adds a futuristic aesthetic while maintaining its classic layout. It first appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Awesome. Should be top. The future version of Nuketown, what's better than that? Should be above the normal Nuketown. Better cars, Easter eggs, and all the best.

Afghan

Afghan is located near a crashed plane in a desert canyon and includes a mix of high ground and open areas. It was introduced in Modern Warfare 2.

Made me feel like an actual sniper picking off scavengers of a wrecked airplane.

Summit

Summit is set in a snowy Soviet research facility on a mountain and includes tight interior spaces and open walkways. It was introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Crossfire

Crossfire features a long street with sniper positions on either side in a Middle Eastern setting. It was originally included in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

I think it's the most amazing and tremendous map ever created. It's a place where all classes can witness intense action, even with pistols!
If you ever play there, you will understand. The adrenaline rush is so high because there is a big road that separates the two teams, and there you can witness a range of gunfire, from pistols and shotguns to heavy LMGs and knives.
Every single second, there are grenades going off and RPGs flying across the road! It's just magnificent. This map deserves first place!

Perfect for snipers and also viable for short-range combat. Lots of areas are perfect for intense engagement.

Hijacked

Set on a luxury yacht, Hijacked is a small map with tight corridors and below-deck skirmishes. It debuted in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Good for snipers and short-range weapons! Awesome looking and just flows very well.

Dome

This small, circular map takes place in a bombed-out military base and favors quick engagements. It was introduced in Modern Warfare 3.

I'm assuming we're talking the WAW version here. The MW3 map by that name was fun also, but not my favorite or even in my top 5.
Dome is still the best 1v1 map ever, in my opinion. It wasn't bare like Shipment and more playable than Rust for non-1v1 matches. And no spawn trapping like Nuketown because there weren't sentry guns and such.

This map needs more fame. This map was always getting pounded by artillery strikes on World at War! Best map from that game.

My favorite map on MW3 and my favorite map in all Call of Duty games. MW3 gets a lot of hate. I never really understood why. I had a blast playing it, especially on Dome.

Whiteout

Set in a snowy Alaskan fishing village, Whiteout features long sightlines and vertical combat. It appeared in Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Bog

Bog is a muddy, night-time battlefield with abandoned vehicles and little cover. It was introduced in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Mission

Mission is set in an African colonial settlement with elevation changes and narrow paths. It first appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The map was later remastered for the 2023 game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

USS Texas

USS Texas is a naval map located on a World War II battleship and includes tight hallways and open deck combat. It was featured in Call of Duty: WWII.

Raid

Raid is set in a Hollywood Hills mansion with a central courtyard and multiple flanking routes. It was featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Backlot

Backlot is set in a construction site in a Middle Eastern town, offering verticality and close combat. It debuted in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Standoff

Standoff takes place in a border town with a mix of indoor combat and mid-range street firefights. It was introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Turbine

Set in a desert canyon with a crashed wind turbine, this large map includes high cliffs and open terrain. It was featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Estate

Estate features a large woodland property with a central lodge and surrounding outbuildings. It was introduced in Modern Warfare 2.
