Babylon is one of the smallest maps
Ancient Ruins: Epic War
Babylon is one of the smallest launch maps, placing players in the middle of an ancient Roman-style courtyard. This map offers some of the fastest gameplay of the bunch, with Team Deathmatch, Free-For-All, and Kill Confirmed standing out as particularly frantic here. This is a great option for players who want to improve quick reflexes or level up their weapons, with Black Ops 6The kill-time feeling is especially quick and adrenaline-inducing here.
The map revolves around 4 central pillars that players can climb up or take cover underneath. This central courtyard is where much of the action takes place during matches, with ample space to get some elevation or rush the center. This map seems, in some ways, reminiscent of Modern War IIThe famous Expedition.
