Two of Call of Duty’s best maps ever return in Black Ops 7 season 1, and it’s about damn time

BO7 gameplay Headquarters

The wait for the newest Call of Duty is now down to just less than three weeks, and Treyarch is already talking about the first content drop coming post-launch in Black Ops 7.

CoD bringing back old maps is nothing new, especially considering that it feels like Nuketown makes its way into seemingly every Treyarch game. But one of the maps coming in season one specifically hasn't been brought back since Black Ops 2.

Meltdown is coming alongside fellow BO2 classic Standoff as two of seven new maps in season one of BO7, which should begin a few weeks after the game launches on Nov. 14. And I'm pretty pumped, because the memories I have tied to both of these maps are substantial.

Standoff was a perfect map for competitive modes like Capture the Flag or Domination back in the day, but Meltdown was specifically one of the better Search and Destroy maps that the series has ever seen. For my money, it's one of the most underrated maps there is, and I'm glad it's coming back.

I'm not sure what's taken CoD so long to bring back Meltdown, but I'm glad it's finally coming. Standoff was previously remastered for Black Ops Cold War a few years ago, and it's an all-time great, but I'm glad to see Meltdown getting some shine. It's great for SnD, but I remember it working just fine for respawn modes like Hardpoint and Domination just as well.

Season one will also bring several new maps called Fate, Utopia, Odysseus, and Yakei, along with Nuketown 2025 dropping early on Nov. 20, which is just six days after launch. The others will join in season one, which is likely to begin in the first week of December.

In a new Dev Talk video today, Treyarch also confirmed that season one will add a whopping seven new weapons, three Zombies maps, and limited-time modes for players to enjoy around the holiday season.
