Yeah have to agree, this was definitely the case.
I loved when a new bunch of maps dropped. I enjoyed learning them and sometimes did very well in the initial first few go's at a map.
The original MW2 map packs and the Black's OPs 1 ones in particular were my favourites.
Maps like Zoo, Kwaloon, Berlin Wall and Drive in were awesome.
Even the ones I didn't like as much were still great quality designed maps.
Dom on Berlin Wall was epic. B flag sat right in the middle of the 2 sides of wall in a tight choke point.
Ai sentry guns high on either sides.
Broken rubble, barbed wire, endless explosions and smoke grenades. A real battle to secure, loved it!
