Firing Range is a small multiplayer map from Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is set in a military training facility in Cuba. The map is also present in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Description
On Firing Range, fights mostly occur in a narrow or medium space, so submachine guns, assault rifles and light machine guns are best suited. If you are defending a building, shotguns are also recommended. Sniper rifles are hard to use because the map is so small. There are two main buildings that the two teams will probably try to take, and there is a tower in the middle. The wooden house is especially popular and a frequently used spot, while the tower is great for camping. The two teams spawn dangerously close to each other, so a well-placed grenade can secure the first kill. Claymores and motion detectors are a must for defensive players, as you’ll be constantly attacked by the other team. Simply running into the other team is a rather stupid idea, as sprinting and automatic fire are not known to mix well. Snipers are not often seen due to the size of the map, but a sniper with a sniper plus variable zoom can support his team if he stays in the background. For example, he can defend objects, like Bomb A, which is right in front of the tower when you play Domination. Bulletproof vest is a useful extra when playing game modes like Demolition Command, because thanks to the open nature of the map, hectic games full of explosions often occur.

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.
