Raid

Raid 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 Hillside mansion, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, USA. Hectic close-to-medium-range engagements through an upscale multi-level Hollywood Hills mansion.

How Raid plays

On the ground, Raid is defined by basketball court and pool areas, multi-level mansion and central garden courtyard. 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:

• Basketball court and pool areas
• Multi-level mansion
• Central garden courtyard

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