Frost

Frost is a Call of Duty: Black Ops II multiplayer map, part of the Apocalypse downloadable map pack, released on August 27, 2013 (Xbox 360); September 26, 2013 (PS3/PC). It is set in Post-snowstorm Amsterdam, Netherlands. A snow-covered European city split down the middle by a bridge over a frozen canal, rewarding multi-level play.

How Frost plays

On the ground, Frost is defined by central bridge over a frozen canal splitting the map, multi-level traversal and snow-covered streets. 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:

• Central bridge over a frozen canal splitting the map
• Multi-level traversal
• Snow-covered streets

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