However, Warzone players are concerned that a return to the OG map wouldn’t recapture the magic, as the new mechanics added to the game would make it a much different experience.

Reddit user ‘TheEscortGamer’ shared a post claiming that “Verdansk will fail if [the] player counts stays at 100,” before taking aim at the many respawn options that have been added in the years since launch.

“Can already see it now, the game won’t flow like it did back then. When it returns we need the OG vehicle mobility, none of this boaty s**t…” said the OP. “No flares, redeploy pack, gulag kits or ‘try again’ gulags… give us that WZ feeling back.”

Plenty of other Warzone players responded to the post, agreeing that the game is full of features that they’d like to see removed before heading back to Verdansk.

“I hate the redeploy features, flat loot, and many other things, but I think the biggest issue is the map (specifically water) and the backpack system,” argued another reply. “I think the water is the worst mechanic they’ve created.”

However, fans weren’t optimistic that the devs would hear their concerns if and when the map does return, as they used Fortune’s Keep as an example of an old map coming back but not as they remember.

“They will 100% add all that garbage to Verdansk. Probably a drivable train too,” said one reply, while another added: “They’ll do what they did to fortunes keep. Completely change half the POIs. It’s not gonna be what we remember. Hopefully they do it well.”

There’s no official word yet on whether Verdansk will make a comeback, but if it does, it’s sure to be a major event.
