CallofDuty’s free-to-play game, Warzone, is set to shake off its recent downturn with the highly anticipated return of the iconic map, Verdansk. The map has been faithfully remade, and as revealed in the Season 3 patch notes, Raven Software has pulled out all the stops to recreate the original experience.
Warzone has undergone significant changes since its initial release, introducing new features such as the dynamic Omnimovement system in Black Ops 6 integration. However, for a true nostalgia hit, developers must get it right. Raven Software’s decision to bring back fan-favorite weapons like the Kilo and HDR, along with old contract variants, is a step in the right direction.
The game’s movement mechanics are being tweaked to resemble the original Warzone experience. Notably, crouch-to-stand speed has been increased, making it easier to pop up over cover and lay down fire. The cooldown time for jumping has also been reduced by 40%, suggesting that bunny-hopping is back on the table.
To replicate the original Verdansk experience, Raven Software has made several notable changes. The Heartbeat Sensor now charges twice as quickly, allowing for more powerful loadout options. Gulag Tokens and Revive Tokens have also been reintroduced to provide a similar experience to the original game. However, the decision to roll back Air Strike scorestreaks may raise concerns among players.
Despite some potential drawbacks, the majority of changes in the Season 3 update are exciting and meaningful ones. For those who started playing Warzone recently, these updates might feel overwhelming, but for veterans like this writer, it will likely feel like a natural extension of their experience. The return of Verdansk on April 3 brings hope to fans that the game’s recent downturn is coming to an end.
As Season 3 kicks off in Black Ops 6 a day earlier, players can unlock new guns like the Kilo and start leveling them up ahead of their first drop back into Verdansk.
