In the original Black Ops games, players can choose which map they want to play on in the next match. There are always two options, and then a third option lets you pick a random map. Players have noticed that, despite the fact there are over two dozen maps in each game, they end up playing on the same small handful of maps every time.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Black Ops 1 and 2 have iconic maps like Nuketown, Firing Range, Hijacked, and Raid, and because they&#8217;re so iconic, it&#8217;s what a lot of people want to play. Over on Reddit, players have pointed out that some fans aren&#8217;t voting for less popular maps and are even outright leaving matches in droves if they aren&#8217;t satisfied with the result.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Best Call of Duty Campaigns<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\">&lt;img alt=&quot;Following its debut in 2003, Call of Duty quickly ascended to become the best-selling first-person shooter series ever, a title it continues to hold to this day. That\u2019s almost entirely down to its ever-popular multiplayer, which keeps fans playing day in, day out. But there are, of course, two sides to Call of Duty. Standing side-by-side the PvP are the single-player campaigns, which, for those of us a little unwilling to huck ourselves into the online hellhole and compete in the Call of Duty combat cauldron, tell cinematic stories straight from the front line. <\/p>\n<p>But which Call of Duty games have the greatest campaigns? IGN\u2019s keenest and most experienced Call of Duty fans have combined to carve out a list of our favourite single-player stories, plucked from all throughout the series\u2019 two-decade-and-change history. We\u2019re looking for campaigns that champion Call of Duty\u2019s greatest strengths: those with great mission variety, ambitious set-pieces, and novel mechanics, as well as the more traditional \u201cgreat FPS\u201d staples like strong level design and memorable storytelling. Only the campaigns that have it all can truly rise to the top of this list, which means this year\u2019s somewhat muddled Black Ops 7 didn\u2019t quite make the cut. But which ones did?  <\/p>\n<p>Here are our top 10 Call of Duty campaigns.<br \/>\n&#8221; decoding=&#8221;async&#8221; class=&#8221;progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/call-of-duty-black-ops-fans-cant-agree-on-which-map-to-play.gif&#8221; data-cy=&#8221;progressive-image&#8221;&gt;<span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t mind playing Nuketown once in a while, but it seems like 70% of the lobbies will vote random, and if it&#8217;s not Nuketown, 1\/3rd if the lobby backs out,&#8221; said one fan. &#8220;If Nuketown is an option, then there [are] 8 votes for it instantly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Don\u2019t get me wrong, Hijacked, Nuketown, and Raid are goated maps, but so are Uplink, Grind, Takeoff, Mirage, Turbine, Downhill, Slums, Meltdown, Carrier, and Studio, etc. Honestly, Black Ops 2 doesn\u2019t have a bad map; even Magma, Frost, and Pod are better than so many of the new maps out today,&#8221; said another. &#8220;Sometimes I\u2019m just down to play on a map I don&#8217;t like that much just for variety&#8217;s sake, so I\u2019m hella annoyed by this too despite loving all the maps everyone always picks, but not when it\u2019s the only maps I\u2019ve been playing on for the last 5 hours straight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Some even noted that Black Ops 2 specifically has a playlist for just Hijacked and Nuketown if that&#8217;s all people want to play, even suggesting that Nuketown should be removed from standard map rotations. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Map voting is a curse in this game. On BO7, you&#8217;ll RARELY play anything other than Nuketown, Hijacked, Raid, because everyone needs to spawn trap and get 100 kills, or the map is garbage,&#8221; stated an annoyed player. &#8220;I honestly miss MW2019 when there was no map voting; I actually got to play ALL the maps. Every year a bunch of people are on here complaining that there&#8217;s only 10 &#8211; 12 maps at launch, and then they still refuse to play on any of them except for 3. It&#8217;s mindboggling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Takeoff and Uplink are the most skipped maps I\u2019ve seen, and I believe it\u2019s because people simply don\u2019t know what they are,&#8221; said a frustrated player. &#8220;And even more unfortunate due to rage bait culture asking people to vote for either becomes a massive vote for classified and ends up being Drone or Aftermath which in turn kills the lobby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">One fan made a respectable case for playing nothing but the hits, however.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I totally get it, but as someone who only plays for a bit after work every now and then, it\u2019s fun just hopping in a few Nuketown games and playing super engaging games for a bit with the little time I have,&#8221; argued a fan. &#8220;Also helps leveling up when you can get like 100 kills within a game or two, as opposed to maybe 3-4 of playing bigger maps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Ultimately, Call of Duty players are creautres of habit. They know what they like, and it&#8217;s very hard for some of them to accept change or adapt to new things. As a result, it means the franchise and the players themselves can get stuck in repetitive cycles, as seen in cases like this one. Many of the maps people are complaining about here have been brought back in other Call of Duty games multiple times over the years and continue to be very popular with fans, for better or worse.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In somewhat related news, Black Ops fans recently uncovered a cut Zombies mode from the original game. The mode is a tower defense version of the undead horde mode and would&#8217;ve been a very unique spin on the classic co-op offering.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Cade Onder is a freelancer for IGN&#8217;s news team.
