Call of Duty: Warzone players are eagerly anticipating Verdansk's return, not because of the map's superiority, but largely due to their growing frustration with the current Urzikstan map.

Introduced in fall 2023 with Modern Warfare III, Urzikstan has faced significant criticism from the player base. The main complaints center around its monotonous color scheme and lack of memorable locations.

Players specifically criticize Urzikstan for:

  • Lacking distinctive landmarks
  • Having repetitive terrain and architecture
  • Missing memorable points of interest like airports or stadiums
  • Overall boring design compared to previous maps

However, it's worth noting that player sentiment often follows a cyclical pattern. When Verdansk was originally replaced, many players welcomed the change. The upcoming April 3rd return of Verdansk will test whether players' fond memories match reality or if nostalgia has colored their perception.

The community's reaction to Verdansk's return could reveal whether the map's perceived superiority is genuine or simply a case of rose-tinted memories of Warzone's early days.
