Maps Call of Duty – Highrise

Highrise is a medium-sized multiplayer map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Description

Highrise is set on a not quite finished skyscraper with two office buildings facing each other. In the middle of the map is an elevated helipad, which many players want to use for their advantage. Most of the combat takes place at close or medium range near the construction sites and office buildings. Shotguns and submachine guns are perfect for close quarters, but assault rifles are also not to be scoffed at if you ever get into a more open area. Snipers also get their money’s worth, as there are points that let you look over half, if not the entire map. Highrise is one of the most popular maps from Modern Warfare 2.

A unique feature of this map is its multi-level design. A tunnel connects the two office buildings, but also leads up repeatedly at other points in between. By the cranes, there is an elevator shaft with a ladder that can be climbed up to take refuge behind a wall. Players can even get to the roof of the southern office building, but after only a few kills, you’re usually easily taken away and it takes a lot of skill to run along the cranes and ledges without falling or getting shot down. For this reason, a tactical approach is recommended for this technique. Players can also climb the crane on the west side of the map and hide on it, which yields about the same result, except it’s harder to be spotted.

From the crane you can also get across the northern office, where a tactical entry is also appropriate. This map is one of the best to get the magazine expansion, because there are many objects that you can penetrate with the full shell, such as windows or office equipment.

Info

• On the southern building is a group of teddy bears with stars on their chests. Another teddy can also be found by the lamps from the northern building.
• Standing on the yellow platforms, you can read that the giant letters on the corner of the map make “Kriegler”, an Infinity Ward employee who has been mentioned several times in Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2.
• On this map are the most teddy bears in the whole game.
• In the elevators, the same Infinity Ward logo is carved into the wood as in the No Russian mission.
• Sometimes, even if you hardly notice them, there are some helicopters flying around the houses.
• Outside the map there is an extremely detailed hotel, which is very strange because things outside maps are usually never detailed, after all they are not meant to be visited by players.
• The phones always say “CoD4.”
• In the small shack in front of the southern office building, there’s an electric circuit board that will damage the player if they shoot it at close range. You can find more of these on the map, but none of the others do any damage and some don’t even respond to shots in the first place.
• Since the map plays at such a huge altitude, Harriers sometimes fly below the playable area.
• If you throw the supplies marker down onto the road, the crate disappears as soon as it touches the ground, but the icon is still present to show where the crate landed.
• In the Rangers’ spawn point, the clock hangs upside down.
• Under the fog, which is only a few layers deep, is a picture of streets taken from a bird’s eye view, but it is extremely poor quality.
• The photocopiers in the office buildings explode when they have taken enough damage.

Call of Duty

The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
