"But what has a lot of people online talking is the new map, Meltdown. This map, set inside a nuclear power plant facility, was extremely popular in the original Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 back in 2012 on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, where I spent many hours playing it. So naturally, I was excited for its return in BLOPS7. But, well, this ain't exactly the same Meltdown from 14 years ago."
"This new remastered version of Meltdown features "updated visuals" and "dynamic lighting," according to Activision. But, as seen in a comparison video posted online by YouTuber Replay Mode, the updated visuals seem to be cleaner and less grungy, with textures and props that are missing many of the old details like puddles, signs, exposed wiring, chainlink fencing, and warning decals."
"Last week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Season One Reloaded update hit the game on all platforms and added a lot of Fallout-themed content as well as some new multiplayer maps. One of these, Meltdown, is now at the center of some online shouting as some fans find the cleaner, more realistic version of the map in 7 inferior to the OG one first seen in Black Ops 2."
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Season One Reloaded update added Fallout-themed cosmetics and new multiplayer maps across all platforms on January 9. The update included Fallout skins and other crossover content inspired by the TV show, plus several remastered maps. The Meltdown map returned with Activision describing it as featuring "updated visuals" and "dynamic lighting." Online comparisons and a YouTuber's video show the new Meltdown appearing cleaner and less grungy than the 2012 original, with missing puddles, signs, exposed wiring, chainlink fencing, and warning decals. Social media posts have driven debate about whether the remaster lost original environmental detail.
