Call of Duty: Warzone’s original map, Verdansk, isn’t coming back for now

Call of Duty: WarzoneThe company was renowned for its lunchtime eating of hard drives. Both the original and updated content were stored in it. WarzoneThe latest Call of Duty mainline installment had a time it could eat up PC’s hard drive at 197 gigabytes. Developers have split the project over time. Warzone off from its mainline brethren, bringing the current install size to a more reasonable 80 gigabytes on PC (though it’s a bit more than that on console). Unfortunately, concerns over the size of that installation prevent a requested feature from being added. WarzoneGetting back to the original maps

The original fans WarzoneVerdansk would like to see map return. But Call of Duty live operations lead, Josh Bridge, told streamer TeeP, that it’s not currently possible.

“We want that. We all want that,” explained Bridge. “So there’s a technical problem. Installation and reinstallation sizes [are] f**king crazy.”

Bridge elaborated, explaining that there was a possibility of swapping the fan-favorite old map for a newer one.

“If we pulled out Caldera and said OK, we’re going to drop in Verdansk — this could mean redownloading the size of Warzone. And every time we’ve done that, we lose players.”

This makes sense given the variable bandwidth and download speeds. No one is excited about the prospect of re-downloading 80 gigabytes of a game when they’re just sitting down to play with some friends.

You can also play battle royale in other locations, Apex Legends PUBG,We have come up with a way around it. While multiple maps can be displayed simultaneously, neither of us are pushing realistic art. WarzoneHigher resolution textures are required for. Although Apex LegendsIt is approximately Warzone’s install size at about 74 gigabytes, PUBGIt comes in at only 18.3 gigs.

You can also keep just one map and change it constantly through seasonal updates. FortniteThis is the model that has been adopted.

In short, if you’re looking to take a trip back to the original Verdansk in Warzone, it’ll probably be a while. Such map changes don’t usually happen until the next Call of Duty mainline game is released. Currently that’s planned for late 2022, with a sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare.
