The developer has listed several maps that will be available to players in multiplayer mode. Among them are the desert of Angola (Satellite), frozen lakes of Uzbekistan (Crossroads), streets of Miami (Miami), icy North Atlantic waters (Armada), and the capital of the USSR (Moscow). All maps were inspired by real-world locations that Treyarch staff scrutinized.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will feature Team Deathmatch, Control, Seek and Destroy, Championship and Assassination Confirmed modes familiar to fans of the series. But there will also be brand new ones – VIP Escort, Combined Arms, and Fireteam.

In VIP Escort, two teams of six must defend or destroy a randomly assigned VIP player. The latter can only use a pistol, a smoke grenade, and a drone. The team needs to escort the guarded target to the evacuation point, while the enemy team will try to eliminate it.

Combined Arm is a 12v12 large-scale mode on expansive vehicle maps. Fireteam is a 40-player, 10-team mode where the environment also influences the outcome of the match. Treyarch will tell you more about this later.
