According to GameInformer, it will take, roughly, five minutes to cross Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout map from its two farthest away points. In other words, some parts of the map may not even take five minutes to cross.
In their cover story, GameInformer says that it takes about 5 minutes to sprint from the furthest point of the map to the opposite side. #Blackout

For context, it takes about 6-8 minutes to cross different parts of Fornite's map, which features up to 100 players, 20 more than Blackout's 80-player count.
It's also worth pointing out that Blackout features a more robust vehicle offering than Fortnite, meaning that you can cross its map even quicker than you can cross the map in Fortnite.
Given Call of Duty's heritage of being a fast-paced, action-packed shooter, a slightly smaller map that packs in more action into a more condensed area isn't very surprising. And to be honest, the map still looks pretty darn big (check it out for yourself here).
Nonetheless, some players weren't very pleased by the news:
That’s terrible....that actually just ruined my hype

What’s the point of vehicles if I can just run across the map in 5 minutes?

Doesn’t sound like it’s actually that big of a map

5 minutes can’t be accurate. Unless you have some type of mechanical legs or something. If it takes 5 minutes to cross the whole map, I’ll be disappointed. I’m guessing a helicopter ride would take like 20 seconds than? Lol
