With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 almost upon us, we finally have a full list of maps that will be available at launch courtesy of Charlie INTEL. Many fans had worried that Black Ops 4 wouldn't feature many multiplayer maps, but thankfully the amount is about on-par with previous instalments - at fourteen.
This of course doesn't include the enormous Blackout map, nor does it include those which will come about on account of the Black Ops Pass - those being a remake of Nuketown as well as another twelve which will be dispersed throughout the coming year.
The below list consists of the name of each map that will be available on-disc, as well as a brief description:
