Given there are still a few months left for the release of Activision’s highly anticipated blockbuster, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, let’s take a look at the Nuketown 2025 bonus map which will be available for free to those who pre-ordered the game.
Here’s an overview of the map written from the perspective of Activision’s Black Ops 2 community blog:
On a week when Nuketown 2025 was announced as a pre-order bonus for Black Ops 2, it was only right that we take a look back at the story of Nuketown.
Nuketown takes place in a nuclear test site designed to simulate a typical American neighborhood. The map itself started out as an “unofficial” project for Level Designer Adam Hoggatt, who took the idea and had a working design up and running in only two days. It was quickly a favorite among the Black Ops developers.
Nuketown would ultimately play a crucial role in the development of the game, inspiring a level of creativity that would show up time and time again in Black Ops multiplayer. The map’s randomly spawning mannequins and iconic end-of-match nuke sequence led to interactive features found on other maps, such as Launch’s rocket liftoff and Kowloon’s zip-line.
Just as it played with the developers, Nuketown became a fan-favorite in Call of Duty: Black Ops almost immediately after the game’s release. Small and simple, yet lending itself to a variety of playstyles, the map featured the type of fast-paced action that Call of Duty® fans from around the world have come to love. The numbers don’t lie, Nuketown has become the most played multiplayer map in Black Ops history.
Now reimagined in a 60′s depiction of the “Model Home of the Future”, Nuketown 2025 is set to take that familiar close-quarters chaos into the future. Pre-order Call of Duty®: Black Ops II today, and look forward to some explosive action on November 13th!

It so stupid how we pay $60 for the game and we don’t even get all the major features. I wonder what the multiplayer would be like because only some will be able to play on nuketown 2025 and all the others won’t be able to
nick ur lazy if u pre order it ends up being easier for u to pay for the game. if u put 20 down or even 10 a couple of times the day it comes out u will only have to pay a small portion of the game off, and you will get the bonus content. so quit bitchin and go preorder u whiner!
You do realize that the game will still be 60 dollars, right?
I think ull still get nuketown 2025 but it will be a map pack and more expensive b/c not alot ppl pre orderd and that means not alot of ppl are in the lobby.
