Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players are fighting over bushes
If you’ve been playing the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta, which was in open form over the weekend on PlayStation 4, then you’ll probably have an opinion on the new Cartel multiplayer map.
Cartel is set in the jungles of Nicaragua where, as you’d expect from the name of the map, a remote cartel compound is housed.
As people have got stuck into Cartel over the weekend, one aspect of its design has sparked an interesting debate: the bushes.
In the middle lane of the map, bushes are set out to provide cover and sneaking opportunities. Visibility here is poor, and you often find players prone within the weeds, shooting anyone who dares to venture close.

On the one hand, there are some who hate the idea that bushes should provide concealment at all, calling for the developers at Treyarch to make them objects you cannot pass through – or get rid of them entirely. On the other, players are enjoying the creeping about. It’s something that’s unique to the map, and offers a different kind of gameplay. Tactical, dare I say it.
