NYC MW4 — Schematic, Callouts & Layout

NYC MW4 — Frequently Asked Questions

How many Hardpoints does NYC have?

NYC does not use a fixed Hardpoint rotation, so there is no count to give. This map does not appear in the Hardpoint rotation.

What game modes is NYC available in?

NYC sits in the Gunfight 2v2 pool. Gunfight is round-based with no respawns and a random loadout each round, so map knowledge carries more weight than your build.

Was NYC in the MW4 beta?

No. NYC was not in the beta and shipped with the launch build. Everything here comes from launch data rather than beta footage.

Can you use this schematic to plan a route?

Use it to learn the shape of the map, not to measure it. The drawing is generated from a layout description and deliberately labelled SCHEMATIC — NOT TO SCALE: it shows which zones connect to which and roughly where the Hardpoints sit relative to each other. Distances, sightline lengths and exact cover placement have to come from the game itself.

What do the grid coordinates on NYC mean?

The current build of NYC plots its Hardpoints evenly because per-point coordinates have not been published yet. The order is real; the spacing on the drawing is not. When coordinates become available the markers will move to their true relative positions.

How does NYC compare with the other Gunfight 2v2 maps?

There are 4 maps in this pool, and NYC is one of them. The comparison table below lists every map in the pool with its region, Hardpoint count and release status, so you can see at a glance which ones carry a fixed rotation and which do not.

Why does this page not name the Hardpoint zones?

Because a wrong callout is worse than no callout. The rotation order is published by Activision; the real-world name of each zone has to match what players actually say in voice chat, and that requires checking against the game rather than guessing from a schematic. Until that check is done, the page gives you P1–P5 in order and leaves the names out.
