"Why don't we do the same" COD fans want Warzone to follow Fortnite's path

Warzone fans have been asking Call of Duty to take a page out of Fortnite’s playbook in a recent Reddit thread. This idea of revisiting Warzone’s golden era, especially the beloved Verdansk map has sparked debates on whether Activision should adopt the "rewind" event style made popular by titles like Fortnite.

Since I have seen alot of online popular br games do like a rewind in time to their old states why don't we do the same with warzone 1 byu/mohammedinternet inCODWarzone

Fortnite has repeatedly proven that looking to the past can be a step toward the future. Epic Games’ “Chapter 1 Rewind” event, where the game returned to its original map for a limited time garnered massive praise from the community. For Warzone players, Verdansk holds a similar emotional sentiment.

In the same Reddit post, u/Gary_BBGames argued that even a return to Verdansk wouldn’t recapture the magic of Warzone due to the current state of the game. They pointed out that the skill level of players has drastically increased, creating a far more competitive environment, while cheating remains a widespread issue.

According to them, these factors have fundamentally changed the game, making it nearly impossible to recreate the same feeling of Warzone’s early days.

On the flipside, u/Alive-Progress-2069 speculated that Activision might already have a Verdansk rewind event in their back pocket as a “hidden ace,” to be played when the game faces a significant decline.

However, they expressed concern that waiting too long to implement it could diminish its impact. This comment reflects cautious optimism about the possibility but underscores the importance of timing such a move effectively.

u/PrometheusGER voiced their support for a Warzone rewind, declaring that bringing back Warzone 2020 would be "insane." They reminisced about the old mechanics, which they found far more enjoyable than the “skateboard movement trash” of today.

However, u/Kar98kMeta criticized the idea, pointing out Activision's struggles with server performance, citing "atrocious lag and stuttering" as a persistent issue. Their blunt remark suggested skepticism about the company's ability to successfully execute a rewind event, given the current technical challenges.

Warzone fans want a return to Verdansk like Fortnite’s rewind events

Warzone fans are calling for a return to the iconic Verdansk map, much like Fortnite's successful "rewind" events. Fortnite’s Chapter 1 Rewind event, which brought back the original map and gameplay mechanics, was a massive hit, re-igniting interest in the game and reuniting longtime players.

This model has sparked discussions in the Warzone community, with many fans eager to relive their favorite moments from the original Verdansk era.

The call for a return to Verdansk isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s a desire to recapture the essence of what made Warzone so memorable. From the fast-paced action and simpler mechanics to the original Gulag system, many players feel that the game’s evolution over time has taken away from what they once loved.
