Maps and Modes for CoD Black Ops Cold War

So far, all modes seem to sit around 5 maps. Also, it’s practically confirmed that Control will be returning as the third game mode for the upcoming. This is a great replacement for domination.

With a combination of gentlemen agreements and bans from the CoD League – the following are prohibited for 2021:
- Primary Weapons – no LMGs allowed
- Secondary Weapons – shotguns, special weapons and launchers are all prohibited
- Attachments – body (SWAT 5MW Laser Sight and Ember Sighting Point), stock (dual wield)
- Tactical – stimshot, decoy
- Lethal – C4, semtex and tomahawk
- Field Upgrade – proximity mine, field mic, gas mine

So far, everything has been agreed upon except the banning of semtex. Indeed, the lethal has been a part of every competitive scene.
