The return of Verdansk in Call of Duty Warzone has been a big win so far. Fans are praising the map’s classic design and the lack of Redeploy Drones, which many felt disrupted balance in other maps of the game. With a slower pace, better rotations, and fewer chances for players to re-enter fights unfairly, Verdansk feels like a true battle royale to the fans.

A post on the Warzone Reddit page highlighted one major reason why Verdansk works so well and advised developers not to ruin it. The title of the post read:

"Verdansk is incredible for 1 simple reason: the value of your life"

The user explained that the map stands out because it brings back the value of a player's life in the game. They criticized the constant requests from streamers and pro players for more plates, cash, and buy stations, saying that scarcity is exactly what makes the map great. In their view, Warzone had become too easy in previous versions, but Verdansk changes that.

Fewer plates and less money make surviving more rewarding. Winning fights means earning valuable loot, which matters more now due to its rarity. With fewer buy stations and less cash, getting a loadout feels earned.

The post has gained hundreds of comments in a day, each having a unique perspective towards the map and this topic. u/lee7on1 said the lack of tokens, limited plates, and money made the game feel like the original Warzone again. They also noted that many returning players were happy with the current state of the game.

u/Electronic-Morning76 agreed and said that previous versions felt too cheesy. u/Arashii89 felt that Warzone finally played like a battle royale again instead of a team deathmatch.

Meanwhile, u/leeennny added that streamers just wanted to farm clips and didn’t care about the battle royale core. u/Nejpalm echoed this, saying that battle royale games should be high-risk and high-reward, unlike Fortnite Battle Royale. u/Miserable_Eye8368, on the other hand, suggested that charging a small amount for the game could help reduce cheaters.
