Fans have been requesting game developers to launch their favorite game modes and maps in the game over the past few months. Players would definitely love the arrival of the Yemen and/or Plaza maps in "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War." If the leak is accurate, these maps would become iconic in the game's multiplayer environment. Whatever the case, it would be interesting to see more remastered maps release in the hit first-person shooter title.

These maps feature direct pathways, sharp corners and a few overwatch points that make them complex yet streamline locations for a more immersive combat experience. Neither the game publisher Activision nor Treyarch has confirmed the arrival of these maps in "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War."

In the absence of an official confirmation, these details are highly speculative at this stage.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War" was released in November 2020. The game is currently available on various gaming platforms. This includes PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Microsoft Windows.
