Ok, lets get started

The map is based on a typical US suburb used to demonstrate the effects of a nuclear weapon on a residential area; mannequins as well as accessible buildings and vehicles are shown across the map. There is a special alley for the RC-XD to travel without the danger of being shot, but if you do not make the ramp, it will blow up, wasting your killstreak. This can be found at a hole inside the fence on either of the two house's spawns. You will need to follow the grass and jump from one rock to another. This will require you to boost your car. This track leads to the rear of the enemy spawn. Nuketown also features an internet meme, the double rainbow and names of previous characters on the post boxes. It also features a nuke going off at the end of every game. If players shoot the heads off all the mannequins in the playable area (excluding the mannequins inside of the bus) in 15 seconds, there will be a special surprise. Also there are supports that act as ladders that can be climbed to get onto the rack that players land on when jumping out the window this can be used to get sneaky kills when players are camping in the stairway or have a claymore planted by the door. These ladders are on both the houses.
High killstreaks such as a Chopper Gunner,Gunship and Dogs are extremely effective on this map, where the spawns are very small, allowing spawn killing to be easily achieved.

Tips and tricks

A common place to hide is inside the WMD truck on the center of the map.

Placing a claymore on either house at the wooden staircases that go into the house, while the player is controlling the main entrance is very effective and many kills can be obtained here. If using this technique, Attack Dogs, Rolling Thunder and Air Reconaissance (such as the spy plane and Blackbird) should be used.

Another good place for "camping" is a spot on the blue house's garage. For getting to this spot you need to jump ontop of 3 barrels lovated behind a door. From here, all the entrance or exit by the garage to the house can be controlled. People entering by the door behind and right cannot see you, but people entering can. The Perk Ghost is good to use here.
