Nuketown
Nuketown is a very small map in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is probably the most popular map, because of its capabilities of getting fast XP.
It has two houses you can enter; the green house and the yellow house. There is also a red house which you cannot enter. Both of the houses you can enter have gardens, containing a variety of objects. The houses are also two-story, allowing you to access the upper and ground floor. In the middle area there are two large vehicles. One has the words Westward Moving & Delivery on it (a reference to WMD), you can enter this one through three entrances. The other vehicles is a yellow school bus with the words, Treyarch Unified School District (a reference to the games maker, Treyarch) you cannot enter it, and it is used mainly a cover. The map is also scattered with mannequins which you can shoot/ knife the heads and arms off. At the end of a match, a nuclear bomb will go off, destroying the entire map.
