Verdansk has been back in Call of Duty: Warzone for just over two weeks, how are YOU enjoying it? — Weekend discussion 💬

by

Since then, roughly two weeks have passed, and surprisingly, Verdansk – the initial Call of Duty: Warzone map – is back in action within the game. Many had doubted this would ever occur, but it has, and it’s given the game a significant boost of energy.

Since its fusion with Black Ops 6, the game Warzone has sparked a lot of conversations. Previously, the large map, Urzikstan, experienced deterioration beyond what it had during Modern Warfare 3, due to multiple bugs, sound problems, and, inevitably, an abundance of cheating.

Despite all that, I found Urzikstan rather lackluster as a map, or at least it seemed that way to me. Over time, it became tedious to play on. Though my time spent in Verdansk’s original version was limited, and I don’t share the same nostalgia many do, its return has felt invigorating, like taking a trip down memory lane.

To such an extent that I’m mainly playing Warzone now, which is quite extraordinary given that since Black Ops 6 came out, I’ve mostly been a multiplayer enthusiast. Therefore, I’m curious to find out whether I’m the only one who enjoys it or if you’ve also been relishing it as well.

Verdansk feels big, engaging, and fun to play on

Verdansk appears expansive not only due to its size, but primarily because of the diverse landscapes and points of interest that make it seem like there’s an abundance to discover. You can land at numerous spots and gather resources. In comparison, Urzikstan seemed dull.

In my research, regardless of where our team landed, Urzikstan consistently felt like it housed at least three other teams. Don’t get me wrong, Verdansk isn’t without its competitive moments, but the initial minutes in Urzikstan often feel more tense and congested compared to other regions, making survival a greater challenge.

Of course, there are popular spots where it’s quite heated, but by steering clear of them, you can equip yourself effectively for the times when you encounter fellow gamers.

As a researcher, I have noticed discussions about the TTK being too swift, and I can understand this perspective. However, with practice, I believe it strikes a balance. It might not be ideal when competitive play is factored in, but for the casual mode, I strongly advocate keeping it as is. Everyone gets a fair opportunity without requiring top-tier gear or intense dedication.

As an analyst, I appreciate the fact that you’re managing to compete effectively using ground loot, and this competence has been consistently reflected in Resurgence mode on Rebirth Island. Earlier, I often found myself despairing before securing a loadout. However, now, I relish the opportunity to play with ground loot, equipped only with a Kilo or a Kar98, I find myself well-equipped and ready for action.

After some adjustments, Warzone seems enjoyable once more, resembling a true battle royale experience again. The loot distribution could use refinement, with perhaps a few more plates and fewer sniper rifles for better balance. However, all in all, it’s a step in the right direction, as far as I can tell.

I’m curious about your thoughts. Could you tell me how your initial few weeks have gone since returning to Verdansk? If you’re a new or returning player, I’d love to hear your perspective. I’ve expressed my own views, but I’m eager to learn more about yours. Feel free to share in the comments section!
