It's three main lanes with flanking shortcuts to the other ones.

It should be pointed out that more than three lanes is kind of pointless when you're balancing for three point Domination, or modes with only two objective/spawn zones.
Having a map say, five lanes wide is a waste of dev time when all lanes converge to one objective spot on each end. Especially when 6v6 is your most common player count.

The only real variation to the three lane is a circular/triangular setup like in BLOPS 1's Launch map, but I don't think they've tried it since.

I miss how the rocket would actually launch during the match (and kill anyone at ground zero).
More maps need that kind of dynamism... albeit not in the lovely way AW did it.

I meant the video :v: Theatre mode let you do some fun poo poo. Game capture is nice but you can't look top down or from the other teams' perspective etc.

Who did the one from (I think) MW3 on the bridge blowing themself up to dramatic music?

It broke a lot with Ground War matches though (on 360 at least)

Digital Fiction ( :rip: ) had some MW3 ones, but I don't have his youtube channel bookmarked. :milk:

I remember when we had FMG night in MW3. Sidearms were so easy to level up in that game even pubbies used them once they caught on. Wizard Night was also a good time. You'd be surprised by how many pubbies don't use Assassin.

The winner's circle has to come back. It wouldn't be. Black Ops without synchronized Gravedigger taunts.

i don't know if i want them to implement a delay so that teams can synchro taunts or not. it'd be funny in a 'good game close almost a tie' way but would take away from the value of hitting all three at the same time

For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the goon that actually had recording software back then.
I'm gonna say Lazyfire, but I don't know for sure. Do you remember which CoD it was?

Looks like Lazyfire's channel only goes back to BLOPS 1.

I promise you I will not be buying cod points this time. I may still tease people with something p2w oriented though.

It's not taken down, it's just unlisted now.

Also I'm basically an SA CoD archivist now. If you have access to archives, it's interesting to go back and read through the old threads. Every now and again you come across gems you completely forgot about.
