After 21 months of gradually evolving Verdansk, Warzone changed forever with the jump to Caldera in the Pacific Season 1 update. Caldera came into effect, and while the full-sized map has certainly been divisive, it\u2019s the only option for players outside of the smaller Rebirth Island. Some have called the layout \u201cboring\u201d while others like Dr Disrespect have demanded an entirely new map replace Caldera already. Swagg, however, has been fairly mixed in his impressions. Despite claiming it requires \u2018less skill,\u2019 he\u2019s stuck with the grind and seen his fair share of success on the map as a result, including a world-record quads run. But after dropping back into Verdansk in 2022, the Twitch star has now settled on an opinion. Even with early issues on Caldera, Swagg doesn\u2019t want to see the classic Warzone map making a return anytime soon. With a handful of co-op Operations still live in Modern Warfare 2019, players are able to access Verdansk to some degree. While the full map doesn\u2019t load in one big chunk, and battle royale rules aren\u2019t in effect, Swagg used these missions to retread his old stomping grounds. \u201cI miss Verdansk. The OG map, this sh**\u2019s beautiful,\u201d he said, playing alongside his Nuke Squad teammate JSmooth. \u201cBrings me back to so many memories.\u201d Whether it was fighting through Boneyard or kicking through the doors of the \u201coriginal Superstore\u201d POI, Swagg was emotional recounting all the \u201cgreat times\u201d he had in Verdansk. \u201cThat\u2019s the one thing with Caldera that Verdansk has, just the different fights,\u201d he explained during the trip down memory lane. \u201cPeople hated buildings, but I love being in close quarters like this.\u201d But even with nostalgia hitting him in the moment, he remained adamant on one thing: Verdansk shouldn\u2019t come back to Warzone. \u201cI\u2019ll always miss Verdansk,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I don\u2019t think they should bring it into rotation. It\u2019s time.\u201d \u201c[NICKMERCS] told me yesterday, he said try not to get said about the past. He doesn\u2019t like when people say \u2018I miss the old sh**.\u2019 Just be glad that it happened and be in the moment.\u201d \u201cSome things just have its time,\u201d JSmooth chimed in. \u201cWe enjoyed it for what it was and that\u2019s that.\u201d As it currently stands, there\u2019s no telling if Verdansk will ever come back to Warzone.
