They did that because there were so many cry babies complaining about ppl camping on edges in BLOPS. I loved the maps in MW2

This was the first thing I noticed when playing MW3. It looks like they tried their hardest to make the maps super small, jammed alleys and corners, with constant blood baths.

Sometimes its nice to run to a secluded area and catch your breath. Sometimes its nice to have a wide area to defend. Sometimes its nice to have an objective to reach, but they only way to reach it is by running in the open. These are real life aspects that CoD seems to try and get rid of. Ultimately I see it as a way to nerf the elite players. I don't know how many times I need to call in care packages or other air support, but can never find a decent area to relax in.

I'm starting to like some of the maps in MW3, but the experience is dependant on what kind of players are on the opposite team. The maps could be better, for instance:

- There are too many corners which is only an issue when there are campers, if the opposite team doesn't have any (which is unfortunately rare) that's not an issue and there is good flow with nonstop action. In MW2 and BLOPS you could easily know where the campers were hiding and avoid that section, or frag the *******. In this game, they are often everywhere which can be really thurstrating.

- Some of the maps have colour that makes seing people a bit too hard in my opinion, and they also look kinda dull. Black Ops had better looking maps in terms of colours.

- Spawns in this game suck, you get killed way too often right after spawning. This might be impossible to fix since the maps are so small.

- There aren't any maps in the game that support long range combat, or combine CQB with long range. The larger maps have too many buildings in them and are layed out in a pipe-like formation. I think there was an effort to try create a good flow on certain points but it doesn't seem to work. Many of the maps in MW2 and Black Ops had a good combination where you could choose to run and gun, or engage at longer ranges.

I hope the DLC will bring back some of the classics, but also new ones that aren't mazes like ones we have now. And to go offtopic in the end, the biggest issue in this game is the lag compensation working against me, i can get used of the maps but if i'm being shot down withouth the chance to fight back. The effects of the lag are greater in this game that they were in Black Ops since the maps are smaller and you are most likely to end up more often in 1v1 CQB-situations.

I dont really want any old maps back i'd rather some new one with some good ideas not this crap they have dished up but if they are going to bring back one of them i'd have to say terminal thats a realoly good map and if they are thinking of bringing any back they shoulsd expand on the maps don't play around with something that works just expand on them.
