Nuketown 2025 Makes A Return In The Chaos Moshpit Bonus Playlist

BLOPS2 fans, rejoice! Seems that Treyach have been listening to the fans outrage on the preorder map, Nuketown 2025 being pulled.

With that Treyach have launched ‘Chaos Moshpit’ which the studio describes as “a fast-action playlist”, the playlist includes the previously axed map, along with: Carrier, Cargo, Express, Hijacked, Slums, and Standoff.

If you missed the news about the map being pulled. here is a little update on the previous story:

 Posting via Twitter, game design director David Vonderhaar confirmed, "Double XP weekend is official over. That means Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 is as well. I know. RIGHT? Don't kill the messenger."

Essentially, this means that the Nuketown playlist has been removed, and the map has not been put into circulation with other maps in regular playlists.

In a subsequent post, Vonderhaar goes on to explain that Nuketown 2025 will only be back for "special events".

"Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 will be back for special events. You can always play it with your friends in Custom Games," he said.

The Nuketown 2025 map - a remake of Black Ops favourite Nuketown - was offered as a redeemable DLC map to those who pre-ordered the game and, was assumed to be permanently available for online play, not as an 'events-only' temporary map.
