Call Of Duty 5 : World At War |
Dome is a small multiplayer map in Call of Duty: World at War.
The map itself is situated atop the Reichstag. As the name suggests, the building that provides the setting for this map is large and domed. The map has several narrow passageways that are perfect for Boucing Betties. One of the outdoor spots has two different sections - a 2nd floor section and a ground floor section. The lower section is usually the best to use because most enemies will be watching the 2nd floor. The downside to the lower section is that it allows the player to be surprised by enemies that take a flanking route from the side path (the outdoor area farthest away from the dome). The 2nd floor section has two flanking routes (the ladder and a path that leads indoors), though these can be defended with Bouncing Betties. Try to avoid using Sniper scopes here.

- Tip: If the player jumps into the pit in the middle of the map for the 1st time, one can receive the challenge "Sayonara," which is an easy 250 XP.
- Be prepared that you may run into players using a flamethrower and/or Grenades and other explosive spammers. Due to the short range of the flamethrower, makes it very effective on this map. Explosives still work too, although one runs the risk of being blown up by their own explosives.
Trivia
- If the player is in Spectator mode and goes into the pit, one can hear the Russian Battle cry of "Ura! Ura! Ura!" over and over again.
- It is possible to commit suicide inside the dome. Walk over to the pit along the inside edge of the map and simply press the jump button while moving forward to jump off the ledge (this does not work for the Wii version, as there is a barrier around the pit).
- Dome is modeled on the last level of the single-player campaign, and appears to be the roof of theReichstag.
- If the player goes into spectator mode and goes off the side of the Reichstag, and onto the foggy surface below, one will see a structure that somewhat resembles the Monument in "Downfall". There are also destroyed trucks, Panzer and Tiger tanks scattered around the surface
- There is a propaganda poster written in English inside the room on the left when facing the outer balcony.
- Throughout this, and a few other levels one can hear German radio chatter when the action quiets down. It is possible to hear radios on "Downfall", "Nightfire", and Japanese commander voices on "Hangar".
- When in spectator mode, if going down to where one can hear the Russians, go into the small hallway where the fire on the staircase is. On the wall to the left is a thumbs down, pointing to a pile of sticks. Under close inspection these sticks appear to form a K.
- Dome appears to be floating in air. If the player looks at at the fog, the stairs end abruptly.
- If going into spectator mode and into the pit, the floor is solid, despite being out side the map.
- Dome is the smallest multiplayer map in Call of Duty: World at War.
- This map is equivalent to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's "Shipment" and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's "Rust" due to size and spawn points.
- The script for canceled level, "mp_bd_test", can be found in Mod Tools. It is similar to Dome's script file, except for ambient, art and effects files: the paths of those files are commented.
- Artillary can pierce throught the dome.
