— Array's map description

Array is a large multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

OverviewEdit

Array is a medium-large winterized map featuring mostly level terrain. It is centered around a large relay dish, and the surrounding buildings. There are a few elevated positions on the furthest extremes of the map, but most of the fighting is on level ground, usually taking place directly around, inside, or slightly north of the relay station. The large open areas of this map make sniping prevalent. North of the map, there is a tower that one can climb and snipe from it, but vegetated areas on the left of it camoflauge a sniper to take one out on the tower.

Presence in Call of Duty: Black Ops IIEdit

A map known as mp_array with the Array loading screen is shown to be on the disc for Call of Duty: Black Ops II and is displayed as a loading screen as a bug if a private match on Nuketown 2025 is started when another player does not have the map. After displaying the loading screen, an error message will display that says the map does not exist, possibly meaning that it is locked on the disc in a similar fashion to Terminal in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

TriviaEdit

• When viewing the array from a Camera Spike, it is not spinning.
• If the player puts Lightweight on x3 speed in a Private Match, they can jump onto a rock that is outside of the map.
• Far away from the playable area is a pyramid located west of the Black Ops spawn. However, boundaries will prevent the player from seeing it up close.
• If the player stands still in the dead quiet with no noise, wolves can be heard howling.
• If the player looks up in the map WMD there is a satellite that looks like the satellite in the center of Array.
• When a player enters the Combat Training menu, Split Screen menu, or Private match menu, Array will always be the default map.
• Outside the map is a road that seems to end at the side of a mountain.
• More satellites can be found in spectator mode.
• When looking down the mountain, one can not see WMD even though that map has a view of Array. A bunker can however be seen.
• In a room with bunk beds is a power box on the wall. If shot it will open and reveal cobwebs covering the wires.
• The icicles hanging down from the "Roundhouse" can be shot down. However blades from the Ballistic Knife will become stuck in them.
• In Theater mode, if the player looks underground (go behind the two tan cylinders, through the mountain, and look down), one can find a mysterious tea kettle.
• On the west side of the map, one can crawl under a truck and take out passing players without being spotted.
