I’ve just spent a couple of hours on the Red Card map, and I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. On one hand, the map offers some of the best close-quarters combat I'black ops 6 boostingve experienced in recent Call of Duty releases. The tight hallways and open central areas create a chaotic, fast-paced environment that’s perfect for players who love running-and-gunning.

The map's layout is pretty straightforward. You’ve got an open central area with some heavy cover, allowing players to navigate around a set of obstacles. But this area is also vulnerable to snipers perched on elevated platforms around the map. If you're caught in the middle of this open space, you’re pretty much a sitting duck. It’s one of the things that frustrates me – it feels like if you’re not constantly moving, you’re going to get shot by someone you didn’t even know was there.

The two main sections of the map – the open area in the center and the tighter indoor corridors – provide a mix of long-range and close-range combat. The outdoor areas favor snipers or players with long-range weapons, while the indoor hallways favor shotguns and SMGs. I can see how this could be fun for players who like to mix up their combat style, but it doesn’t feel like there's much strategy beyond just trying to get from one area to the other without being gunned down.

Aesthetically, the map is great. The visual design, with its industrial and slightly dystopian feel, complements the high-stakes action perfectly. However, I can’t help but feel like I’m always at the mercy of the map’s design. If you’re stuck in an open space, your chances of survival seem pretty slim, and the sheer number of entrances to the main areas often make it impossible to hold a position. I’ll need to play it more, but right now, I'm not sure how I feel about Red Card.
