Standoff Returns in Black Ops Cold War Season 3

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War Season 3 roadmap was revealed April 19 headlined by the return of fan-favorite map Standoff.

Standoff, a classic Call of Duty multiplayer map, was first introduced in Black Ops II. It hasn't featured in a Call of Duty title since then, but now it returns after Raid and Express featured in previous seasons. Almost a decade since its first introduction, Standoff will be a standard 6-v-6 multiplayer map and fans expect it to eventually make its way into the Call of Duty League.
