I think that we should start using Wikia Maps on the wiki. It could be beneficial for showing the layouts of maps better. We could easily use the minimaps for the picture and then pinpoint all the areas of interest on it. For example, for Recovery, we could pinpoint all of the objective locations, maybe the player spawn locations, even armory locations for Exo Survival.
Now, there are some maps we don't need to do this for, like Nuketown Zombies since it already has a map made as a picture, but it could be helpful for oher maps. For maps that don't have minimaps we could also find an overhead view picture of them to map them out too, or we could just not make maps for them. RisingSun2013 20:05, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

It's a nice idea, but for the later maps, we don't have access to any of the minimaps, meaning the only maps we could use would be low quality ones. For earlier games where we were able to extract the minimaps then it would work, but for later games is simply not as plausible.

- I don't see how using lower quality maps could harm the potential of this at all. DremYolLok (talk) 20:55, November 15, 2014 (UTC)
- Take a look at some of the featured maps seen on the Wikia Maps page, and then compare them to this, this and this. Short of looking completely horrendous, I don't think some of them are even big enough for us to start putting any kind of waypoints on them, especially the BayView minimap. If we were able to replace these images we would have done so long ago, and this is just from the Ghosts' pages that have minimaps on them, some don't even have that. 21:03, November 15, 2014 (UTC)
- well for a start we could start using them for older games, the ones where we have access to the game files. KλT 01:16, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
- For older games it would work, I'm just pointing out it work as well for the later ones. Which I see as an issue as I assume more people are coming here for the later stuff. But we could still make use of it. 03:31, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

- I think it can definitely be useful on the older zombie maps like Der Riese, but I agree with Sam that the later CoD maps in general may be a bit too complicated. Higaboi21talkhttp://i.imgur.com/KI7e8hQ.png 18:58, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
