The highly anticipated Season 3 for Call of Duty Warzone is finally here. After months of releasing the Battle Royale game, it seems like Raven Software has finally worked on the demands of the community. The developer has released a brand-new Verdansk’ 84 map and introduced a plethora of nerfs and buffs to the weapons.

Warzone certainly feels like a fresh game at the moment. There are a ton of new POIs to explore and mastering each weapon now requires better skills and aiming.

On the flip side, complaints regarding an actual new map that does not have Verdansk’s traces are also persistent. Moreover, the ever-increasing number of hackers is still a major issue for the players.
