According to u/derkerburgl, grappling around the map was enjoyable, and there wasn't hyper-focus on the meta; it offered a true Battle Royale experience where looting perks, guns, and attachments was straightforward. Sniping also required more skill, allowing players to feel the bullet velocity. Also, the absence of long-distance beam-capable automatic guns made matches faster-paced.

It's evident from the reactions and responses that fans want the Blackout map to return. However, adapting it to the current scenario would require some rework, but it would undoubtedly be a great addition.

Moreover, introducing it would mark a significant move for Warzone, as the game has never expanded by adding a map from another title within the Call of Duty franchise. This move could garner positive reactions from the fans. Currently, there is no news regarding any new map additions to WZ. In recent months, two popular maps from Warzone's history, Fortune's Keep and Rebirth Island, were added to the game.
