In a new Dexerto poll, fans revealed which multiplayer maps from several previous Black Ops games they would like to see remastered in Black Ops Cold War during the game’s next DLC releases.
With the launch of Black Ops Cold War post-launch content just beginning, there is no doubt that players will receive some remasters of classic Black Ops maps sometime in the future, like the way Raid and Nuketown were brought back.
Although the community has no direct influence on deciding which maps to remaster, a new survey conducted by Dexerto revealed which remasters they may want to see in future DLC releases.

Coming in first place with almost 44.6% of the votes is the Black Ops 2 Standoff map. The map has already been redone once in Black Ops 3 and although it enjoyed appearances in BO4 and CoD: Mobile’s Blackout mode, it hasn’t been remastered much and is certainly still a fan favorite.
Second was another Black Ops 2 map, Hijacked. Like Standoff, this small map was also remade in Black Ops 3 and appeared in Blackout and CoD: Mobile as well. The gap between the two Black Ops 2 maps in the poll is significant, with a separation of more than 10%.

Third and fourth place are Black Ops 1, Firing Range and Summit maps, respectively. The difference between these two and the first pair is striking, with only 15% of voters wanting the former and only 8% wanting the latter.
This should also not be too surprising, as both have been remastered several times, making appearances in literally every Black Ops game in one way, shape or form.
In addition to the four available in the poll, a map that also appeared a few times in the comments was Radiation from Black Ops 1. This map is unique in that it has not been remastered since the original release, which means it has been 10 years since players stepped there.
While it is certainly not the most popular map by any means, it appears that some players want Black Ops 1 Radiation to return.
At the end of the day, who knows which maps will be returning to Black Ops Cold War.
While it is good for more obscure maps like Radiation to appear, at the end of the day, it seems that Treyarch wants to limit itself to popular maps for now.
