Hardpoint rotations for all Black Ops Cold War maps

Black Ops Cold War Hardpoint rotations

Once again, Hardpoint is one of the key modes in Black Ops Cold War, and with League Play arriving, we’ve put together the hardpoint objective rotations for every single map.

Since the mode was first introduced in Black Ops 2, it has, for the most part, become a staple of any Call of Duty game, barring one or two since then which either didn’t include it, or added it post-launch.

With the mode set to be an integral part of the Call of Duty League and League Play you’ll need to know your way around each map.

For that reason, we’ve compiled all the information you need here, with each Hardpoint rotation in Black Ops Cold War for every single map, and any map that comes out over the next year. We’ve also listed callouts for each point to help make them easier to remember.

As it stands, Checkmate, Crossroads, Garrison, Moscow and Raid are in the CDL rotation, but the arrival of Express could possibly change that going forward.

We’re obviously expecting a number of new maps to arrive throughout the coming months, and with the likes of Raid and Express already being integrated, we should have a very expansive pool of good maps by the time the BOCW year is over.
