In a screenshot caught during NoahJ’s stream fans noticed a small detail that is a fan-favorite feature.Players were happy to see the return of the map voting system which was mysteriously absent fromModern Warfareappear during the stream,confirming its implementation intoCold War.Although the feature in the early version of the game only selects the one map, it is still a big enough confirmation for fans to enjoy.
Map voting can become a vital feature inCall of Dutytitles as it allows fans the option to avoid possibly broken or troublesome maps. While it would be nice if every map was perfect, there is alarge selection of maps inModern Warfarealone that are less then enjoyable to grind through.
Withthe map voting feature, players regain their lost control over the lobby. There is always the fear that players will cycle the same few maps, but with a strong enough sway in the party, every map can eventually be viewed. It is not surprising that map voting has returned as it has been in everyBlack Opstitle, but the same could have been said aboutModern Warfareuntil its most recent release.
Still, many fans are happy to see the feature return to this year’s exciting multiplayer experience. This is one of many hiddenfeatures that lie buried inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warthat was not revealed during the reveal. As fans get more footage and more time to explore the varying trailers a clearer picture will no doubt be found describing the next game’s experience. Until then, fans will just have to keep an eye on the streaming community and continue to wait for official announcements from Treyarch and Activision.
