Two years after release, Warzone has finally traded Modern Warfare\u2019s Verdansk battleground for the bright shores of tropical Caldera, the battle royale\u2019s second-ever map. The island map went live in CoD Vanguard\u2019s latest update, shipped live on December 8. With the Pacific swap-over came a host of WW2 weapons and more events, perks, and vehicles \u2014 including 1940s planes \u2014 in what Raven Software billed as the game\u2019s next era. Instead, fans have been quitting in droves on day one. Warzone star Aydan may be among those leaving too; the Twitch streamer admitted as much on launch day, after not enjoying \u201ceven a second\u201d of the map. Like thousands of other Call of Duty fans, Aydan was champing at the bit to try Vanguard\u2019s new Warzone map, Caldera, after months of hype. And, like many fans, his experience quickly turned sour. \u201cNot a fan of the Caldera map,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m just running up hills and rocks and just die to people sitting on top of them, every death. I don\u2019t care about being at the top [of Warzone\u2019s competitive scene] if I\u2019m not having fun bro. \u201cI\u2019m gonna give it more time, obviously,\u201d the battle royale streamer continued. \u201cBut if I\u2019m not enjoying the game anymore I\u2019m going to move on.\u201d Not a fan of the Caldera map so far. I feel like I&#8217;m just running up hills and rocks and just die to people sitting on top of them every single death. \u2014 Aydan (@aydan) December 8, 2021 It\u2019s a shock suggestion from Aydan, especially considering the star New York Subliners streamer\u2019s place atop the Warzone professional scene. \u201cI had to hop off Caldera because I just wasn\u2019t having fun. I feel like the only thing Caldera has over Verdansk is how pretty the map looks. It could be because I\u2019m sick and just crabby. I just can\u2019t see myself playing Warzone every day anymore though. \u201cI\u2019m really sad,\u201d he added, before revealing he might even swap back to Fortnite after the Epic Games battle royale\u2019s \u201cfire\u201d Chapter 3 update hit servers. Man, I&#8217;m really sad. \ud83d\ude14 Had to hop off Caldera because I just wasn&#8217;t having fun. I feel like the only thing Caldera has over Verdabsk is how pretty the map looks. It could be because I&#8217;m sick and I&#8217;m just crabby. I just can&#8217;t see myself playing that game every day though \ud83d\ude10 \u2014 Aydan (@aydan) December 8, 2021 Aydan has yet to pull the trigger on any plans to quit Warzone, of course. Even suggesting he might, however, is a major shock for CoD players all the same. The Subliners star has risen to lofty heights playing Warzone since 2020. Conrad has raked in more than $331,890 in earnings. He originally jumped ship from Fortnite when CoD\u2019s battle royale debuted, teaming with MuTeX and ZLaner before linking up with Rated more recently. Only time will tell if the star\u2019s position on Caldera will actually change, though he did say he wants to \u201cgive it another go with a positive mentality\u201d before he decides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aydan hates Warzone\u2019s new Caldera map so much he might actually quit the game Twitch: Aydan \/ Raven SoftwarePopular Call of Duty streamer and top Warzone earner Aydan Conrad has revealed he\u2019s considering \u201cmoving on\u201d from the game he\u2019s made more than $330,000 from after a terrible first day on the battle royale\u2019s new Pacific [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22680\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
