The highly anticipated Season 3 of Call of Duty Warzone is finally here. As expected, the developers have introduced a ton of new content, which also includes a new Verdansk ’84 map. Apparently, the Zombie outbreak led to the original map getting destroyed, and operators will now spawn on a 1980 variant of the same.

The new Warzone map certainly has many features that separate it from the 2020-21 Verdansk. It has new POIs like the Old Mine, Gora Summit, Airplane Factory, and Grid Array. Furthermore, Downtown is now less dense with buildings and more colorful.

Considering Warzone’s astounding launch success, the community wanted the developers to invest more in the game’s development. On the flip side, others feel that the new Verdansk ’84 map is more than enough.

Unlike Warzone, PUBG offers five maps to the players. All these maps are entirely different and even have separate play-style modes. These additions looked very exciting at first, but have now resulted in a noticeable increase in queue times. Many players quit the game because of this, and these veterans now do not want Warzone to suffer a similar fate.

A post on r/CODWarzone gathered such contrasting opinions on the new Verdansk’ 84 map:
