As a seasoned Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 gamer with over a decade of gaming under my belt, I must say, the revelation about the Stakeout map has left me both intrigued and slightly frustrated. On one hand, it’s exciting to discover hidden points of interest, like a castle and a racetrack, in a game I thought I knew inside out. But on the other, the technical demands of this larger map have been quite challenging for my aging gaming rig.


A dedicated fan of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” has pointed out an interesting discovery – the smallest map in the game, Stakeout, is significantly larger than it appears, and it includes hidden gems like a castle, racetrack, and various captivating landmarks. Yet, this revelation about Stakeout’s true size has sparked divided opinions among “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” enthusiasts. Some argue that the enlarged map puts more technical demands on the game.

At its release, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was warmly welcomed by gamers, rekindling excitement for the single-player storyline which had been somewhat neglected. Although minor glitches like the one that affects player rankings in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 have surfaced, the developers are working diligently to correct these issues. Simultaneously, it appears a dedicated fan has uncovered a hidden aspect within the game.

In a new post on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 subreddit, user Speideronreddit highlights an interesting detail about the Stakeout map. While players play only in two apartments on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 map, the size of the map is quite huge compared to the actual play area in the game. In order to see the entire map, players will need to go to replay mode first, and then fly out from the balcony. The map spans an extremely large area, featuring several exciting points of interest, including but not limited to a racetrack, a castle, a stadium, and even a Ferris wheel. The race course seems to be getting the most interest from the community, with many players quite eager to try out the track.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Eagerly Waiting for Avalon’s Release

It was pointed out by enthusiasts that the Avalon map, originally planned for release in Warzone next year, is actually part of it. Many fans, however, were displeased because the map was delayed to allow the developers to reintroduce Verdansk. Recently, Activision announced that Verdansk will return to Warzone in Spring 2025. It’s speculated that Avalon might be unveiled alongside the next Call of Duty game. Some fans, though, are also looking forward to the return of Verdansk, so it seems the developers aren’t making a poor choice by delaying Avalon.

Some also pointed out that the long loading time and subpar performance of the map might be due to its huge size. However, others outlined that the subpar performance might be due to the graphic settings in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 not being properly tweaked instead. This is because the developers had implemented something similar for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, and other games like Overwatch 2 take a similar approach as well without facing many performance issues.
