Call of Duty has always done it's best to feel realistic within the confines of its arcade
shooter Universe yes some games are realistic more than others but Cod always tries to feel
real to the player in one of the most deliberate ways to do that is by using Real World locations
as part of the design not throughout the years Cod has made multiplayer maps based on tons of
actual locations and while the quality of the map flow kind of differs the attention to detail is
pretty awesome what's up everybody chaos here today we're going to be looking at COD maps
that are based on real life locations so you let me know how many of these places you've actually
been to in real life and we kick things off in Modern Warfare 3. Liberation it was a DLC map
in Modern Warfare 3 it was mainly known for having some pretty beautiful sights but also
for being a relatively easy map to get a MOAB on something about this map layout made it really
easy to take advantage of and go on Long streaks with not a lot of consequence if the map looks
familiar it's because it's based on Central Park in New York City and they actually did
a really good job recreating it there's lots of little details bits of architecture you can find
in the real world Park and seeing all the leaves all yellow orange it helped capture the energy of
this real world location there's even an Easter egg where if you go to one of the support beams
you can find the phrase you mad bro sketched into it it's nothing like some of the old memes and cod
to make you feel very nostalgic at number nine today the Eagles Nest in Vanguard now this was
one of the maps featured in the Vanguard beta many Cod players consider it to be one of the best maps
in the game once the full game came out all things considered it was a pretty solid map overall but
did you know it's actually based on the Real World building in Germany the main structure
in Eagle's Nest is based on the kelstein Haas hope I said that right a Mountaintop axis meeting site
that was one of the main hubs for the regime members from 1938 to 1945 when it was captured
by the Allied Forces today the kelstein Haas is a tourist attraction an occasional beer garden and
Sledgehammer did a really good job recreating it in Vanguard now obviously the inside of the
house doesn't look exactly like the maps version of it but the exterior it's pretty spot on the
developers I think they deserve a lot of credit for this one before we move on to number eight
guys if you get anything from gfuel.com use code chaos up to 30 percent off they are dropping stuff
left and right whether it's plushies whether it's tubs whether it's cans it doesn't matter
matter if it's time to stock back up the link is at the top of the description and do me a favor
if you use the code take a screenshot and hit me up on Twitter so I can show you some love as well
Adam Ray Block in COD 4. now block wasn't entirely based on a real world location bits and pieces of
it are lifted almost perfectly from a rather Infamous area of Chernobyl most Cod 4 players
remember this map is the really really annoying one where you would constantly get sniped by
people you couldn't see but if you went to a certain corner of the map you would find a
recreation of a swimming pool from the campaign mission one shot one kill now the swimming pool
is a recreation of a real-life abandoned pool that is commonly associated with the Chernobyl disaster
you can also see the famous Chernobyl ferris wheel in one area of the map although you can't
actually interact with it so the map isn't a true Recreation of a specific location but it takes
bits and pieces of Chernobyl and incorporates them very well into the environment and creates
a pretty creepy Battlefield to actually fight on at number seven underground in Modern Warfare 3.
medium-sized map one of the less popular ones but most people don't think too negatively about it
in case you can't remember the name it was a map that took place at a subway station specifically
the Broad Street Station in London England the station was pretty popular in the early 20th
century it was a big part of London's underground network but it closed in 1986 after usage slowed
down dramatically now the Modern Warfare 3 version is obviously modernized there's quite
a few artistic Liberties taken with the layout but the visual design of the building it's pretty
clear it was meant to be a homage to the original Broad Street Station I think the art team I think
they nailed it honestly I think this is one of the more underrated maps in Modern Warfare 3.
at number six Egypt and cod World War II released as part of the war machine map pack it's a pretty
solid map it's actually one of my actually better favorite ones in COD World War II
rather traditional three-lane map at each lane had a distinct play style to it and there was actually
some sneaky routes you could use to zip in between them now in terms of its real world connection the
map is pretty obviously based on the Great Pyramid of a Giza and its surrounding areas Sledgehammer
made this really cool decision to set the multiplayer map at the pyramid in the middle of a
big World War II battle so the historical elements are all there but with the addition of things like
scaffolding busted up vehicles for Extra cover I've thought it was a pretty cool Recreation of
the famous pyramid one of the more underrated maps in COD World War II now we get into the top five
Crown Raceway in Modern Warfare 2 2022. now this map from the latest Call of Duty game
takes place in Southeast Asia at this fancy race track but did you know this map is based on the
real world Marina Bay Street circuit in Singapore famous racetrack extremely popular thanks to the
Singapore Grand Prix and according to the Modern Warfare 2 game files the map is actually referred
to as Grand Prix instead of crown Raceway now obviously the names had to be changed for the
sake of Licensing but the design the architecture it's all undeniably influenced by the Singapore
track so some of you probably knew about this one already since it's such a recent addition
to the Cod franchise but for those of you that didn't now you know at number four
Sideshow in advanced Warfare you probably remember this map is the one set at the
clown motel but did you know that clown Motel is a real world place you can actually go right now
and stay at it was released as part of the Havoc map pack for the advanced Warfare game and you're
doing battle on the remnants of an abandoned clown themed motel in Wyoming but Sledgehammer
took influence from The Real World clown Motel located in Nevada it is a real Motel it's been
voted as America's scariest Motel because of the disturbing theming as well as a fact that it's
walking distance from a huge Cemetery the real world clown Motel is up it's operating if you
want to go pay a visit do it but for the rest of us we'll just boot up Advanced Warfare play
a match on Sideshow and be safe that way we don't have to actually go to the actual real world clown
ghost place waiting to kill us in our sleep or anything like that it's seriously pretty creepy
at number three Alcatraz Island and Black Ops 4. this one should be pretty obvious but Alcatraz
Island is indeed based on the real world prison in California Island prison known for housing some of
the most dangerous criminals in the world it was added to Black Ops 4's blackout mode in April of
2019 as this frantic fast-paced alternative to the launch map now the map featured a few rule changes
from the base version of blackout a lot of players found it to be a superior experience overall the
map takes place I mean well it actually doesn't take place it takes a lot of creative Liberties
where all the buildings are in relation to one another but in terms of capturing the architecture
and the vibe of the real world location I think Treyarch nailed it now I'm not sure if the real
world Alcatraz has a lot of zombies but it's okay at number two resistance in Modern Warfare 3 this
is one of the most popular maps in the game and it's been remade a handful of times in fact it was
remade two years ago as ember in infinite Warfare and then occupation in COD World War II but the
original map was popular thanks to the medium size and excellent game Flow complimenting just about
any play style and really showing off how fun and dynamic the gameplay of Modern Warfare 3 could be
at the time ground war Drop Zone those matches got insane and the area was lifted pretty accurately
from place dalida and Paris that's right the main downhill area of the map is almost a perfect
one-to-one remake of the real world location while the rest of the map is made up slightly of altered
buildings and Courtyards from the surrounding area this is one of the most well it's one of the first
high-profile real world Cod maps and in terms of gameplay I think it may be the best on this
list I don't know it's not quite the most accurate but it was close but if you're going with the most
accurate not the best map at number one today it has to be Piccadilly in Modern Warfare 2019 gets
a lot of attention got a lot of attention but just because of how amazingly detailed it was
and they used it to show off how the game looked but it didn't take long for the community to turn
on it I mean it's terrible it is the gameplay is terrible it's based on the real world Piccadilly
Circus in London's West End and if you look at the map next to the picture of the real world area I
it's amazing Infinity Ward spared no expense making this map as accurate to the real world
location as possible while making minor alterations for the sake of the gameplay
so I guess this is a case where realism ultimately took priority over making a fun map because almost
every Modern Warfare player considers this to be one of the worst Infinity war maps of all time
but you clicked on a list of maps based on real world locations not the best maps I'll never say
Piccadilly is a good man but it is definitely the most true to life recreation in COD history
and for that I think it's deserving of the number one spot today there you have it my friends let me
know which map let me know if you've been to any of these that would be really cool and you know
what I didn't do hijacked but it was a real world location out in the middle of the ocean
anyway I hope you guys have a great day make sure to stock up on your G Fuel and I'll see you soon
