Call of Duty\u2019s sophomore battle royale effort has been widely acclaimed, hitting 50 million players within a month of release. Many fans have praised it as a faster alternative to Black Ops 4\u2019s Blackout, but summit is among prominent content creators arguing it is suffering because of its map design. While streaming Warzone on May 3, summit grew frustrated with players camping on rooftops, waiting for opponents to pass them by. Summit took issue with rooftops that are difficult to access, especially those that are only accessible via helicopters. Summit was driving through the Superstore area of the Verdansk map, when an unseen enemy on a roof began to open fire on his car. Despite doing minimal damage and summit driving away, the enemy continued to shoot summit\u2019s car, much to the streamer\u2019s frustration. \u201cGuy on top of a roof, who\u2019d have thought?\u201d he asked sarcastically. \u201cYou\u2019d never have thought, chat. You would never see in a million years a guy waiting on a roof, especially in solos\u2026 Why do you guys have a game with just building-tops everywhere, that you can just sit on top of. Nobody thought of that? Nobody thought like \u2018hey this is probably gonna be more campy than PUBG?&#8217;\u201d The frustrations did not end there, however. While driving away from the first rooftop-based enemy, summit was ambushed by other players, who were sat on different rooftops. This compounded the streamer\u2019s anger, causing him to go on an epic rant about Warzone\u2019s map and negative play-styles. \u201cDo you see how many people are moving round the map?\u201d he shouted sarcastically. \u201cThere\u2019s a ton. No, just kidding, they\u2019re all on building tops\u2026 This is not a battle royale bro, this is camping simulator. You wanna go into a f**king game and camp your d**k off, this is the one.\u201d Summit\u2019s point is proved perfectly as, mid-rant, an enemy on top of Stadium opens fire on his vehicle. The top of Stadium is one of many POIs that can only be accessed via a helicopter. \u201cI think this is the worst battle royale that exists today, hands down,\u201d he said. \u201cYou guys thought, coming up with a battle royale and leaving every rooftop open \u2013 after a gulag, that you can just spawn in [to a rooftop] again!\u201d Summit\u2019s argument is essentially that the amount of buildings with hard to access rooftops encourages camping. Players who actually travel round the map and play positively are at a major disadvantage. \u201cEvery building open, 150-man battle royale,\u201d he finished. \u201cIt\u2019s a hide and seek simulator! There\u2019s not a lot of talent that goes into your f**king laser-beaming of other humans in their nut-sack area. Don\u2019t even have to go for headshots really, and you made it so you can camp in every building. Let\u2019s just throw thermals on top of that, and you got Call of Duty.\u201d Infinity Ward have confirmed that changes to the Verdansk map will be coming in Season 4, which kicks off at the start of June. Until then, it appears that summit will just have to deal with the game\u2019s shortcomings and the amount of players who are on rooftops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summit1g explains why Warzone is the \u201cworst battle royale\u201d Twitch: summit1g\/Infinity WardVeteran Twitch streamer Jaryd \u2018summit1g\u2019 Lazar has slammed Call of Duty: Warzone as a \u201ccamping simulator\u201d, highlighting the map\u2019s plethora of tall buildings as a major issue.
