Urzikstan feels all over the place. There are almost no recognizeable POIs for one. Additionally, the water I don’t like at all. It also doesn’t feel as a whole. It feels like random islands of buildings with very little flow in between Only really played Warzone when it originally came out with Verdansk and I had SO much fun. The game evolved from “I don’t know what I’m doing” to having strategies in looting, contracts, loadouts, favorite hiding spots, etc.
Once it is removed from the game, Urzikstan will go down as the most forgettable Warzone map - it has just been left to go stale, could have been so much better than what it is Hopefully Verdansk coming back in the spring will bring some identity back to the game!
@ yep. It’s not bad in a sense. It’s just… after 30 matches I still get lost because a lot of stuff looks the same, even though it’s not in the same area of the map
You missed one! My personal favorite that deserves to be on the list the Blackout map from cod 4. For a good idea of some gameplay go back and look at some of Huskers kill record videos from blackout. He makes the helicopter look easy and I would say it was even better than verdansk helicopter. The color palate of treyarchs warm oranges and forest greens of the map and the over all layout was the right direction all along. Compared to Verdansks infinityward color palate of doo doo browns and bitch black greens to hide in shadowy corners with rose skin. Not to mention there was no ziplines when verdansk shipped, blackout had grappling hooks as a lootable resource from day one. Lastly the quality of the servers were an issue even back then but one thing I found very interesting that after the game shipped they upgraded the blackout servers from 20hz to 30hz. Interesting to their first shot a BR, a game from 7 years ago had better servers/ was changed after people gave feed back. Something small but something I thought was interesting; in blackout you could always put the trophy system on a vehicle but when verdansk warzone first shipped the throphy system was destroyed as soon as the car moved and was later changed after feed back. Alot of people would attribute that to a bug that was later fixed but I'm not so sure. I think a lot of bad design choices are changes for no reason or just something that slips through the cracks. I dont think blackout had a fair shot not being cross platform I think it could have morphed into the live service game to rival fornite way sooner if the suits werent greedy and actually played the game they make decisions for. I would be interested to see where that map would rank on this list and if they will ever add it to the map pool its not impossible as rebirth island was originally a black ops 4 BR map along side blackout
Blackout was a great map but it wasn’t a Warzone map! That being said, if we could get a new Warzone map made fully out of old school multiplayer maps like Blackout then I’d be 100% down for that!

Id play ashika over fortunes anyday
Also: yes, mw19 warzone on verdansk stands Undefeated.
I bet when people now play the original Verdansk, they wont really like it
Hopefully the problems with Verdansk are addressed when they put it back in the game
Only came for the rebirth ranking. Don’t know whether to be happy or sad. Mixed emotions right now
You know I'm a big map player at heart chief - couldn't put it at the very top!
