Carrier

Carrier is a Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer map, one of the maps included with the base game at launch, released on November 13, 2012. It is set in Chinese supercarrier at sea. Combat across the open flight deck and through the tight interior hull passageways of a Chinese aircraft supercarrier.

How Carrier plays

On the ground, Carrier is defined by open flight deck with parked aircraft, close-quarters interior hull corridors and mix of open and enclosed combat. Those are the features to read first — they decide where fights open up, which angles are safe to hold, and how you rotate between objectives. The close, broken-up terrain favours mobile weapons — submachine guns and shotguns — and perks like Lightweight and Dexterity that keep you quick through its lanes.

Hazards & features to learn:

• Open flight deck with parked aircraft
• Close-quarters interior hull corridors
• Mix of open and enclosed combat

Build a class for it with the Pick-10 system, and browse the full weapon list to match a gun to its ranges.
