The complete roster of maps for the launch of Black Ops 6 has been unveiled, highlighting a subtle adjustment made to one of the fan-favorite locations, addressing a significant concern raised during the beta tests.
Skyline has been widely praised as the standout map of Black Ops 6, with players appreciating the intricate design of the upscale apartment complex and how well it enhances the new omnimovement mechanic. However, there was a consensus among players that the pool section offered insufficient cover, leaving them vulnerable to enemy fire.
This problem was particularly evident during Domination matches, primarily around the B-flag area. Players experienced repetitive frustrations as opponents could easily eliminate them from the numerous windows and perspectives surrounding the flag, leading to a scenario where the team that secured it first maintained dominance for the remainder of the game.
Fortunately, as disclosed in the official blog detailing the complete launch map lineup, the developers have incorporated a new lower sub-level adjacent to the hot tub area in Skyline. Although this is a minor modification, the introduction of steps and increased elevation creates a strategic location to safely contest the objective.

This update has been positively received by the community, with most players agreeing that the changes enhance the Skyline experience compared to its beta version. Nevertheless, some expressed concerns about the ongoing challenge of controlling the area, especially within Domination matches.
“It’s definitely an improvement for capturing and holding B, but I still feel the pool area is excessively exposed,” commented a user on Reddit with the handle ‘Limp-Grapefruit.’
Another player chimed in, stating, “It may still rank among the less favorable locations in the game. However, at least now I won’t have to crouch and hope for the best when on the hill; I just need to be wary of the five other angles.”
As we await the release of Black Ops 6 on October 25, it remains to be seen whether additional modifications will be necessary for Skyline. For those eager to dive in at launch, details on how to preload the game and regional release timings are available.
