Swagg explains why Warzone takes less skill since leaving Verdansk Twitter, @Swagg \/ ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone streamer Swagg was comparing Verdansk to Pacific\u2019s Caldera when he realized that the gunfights felt different. After examining the differences, he decided why Verdansk may have taken more skill. While much of the mechanics are the same, Caldera does feel different than Verdansk. And it\u2019s not just because of the tropical environment and overhead planes, either. One of Warzone\u2019s most relentless grinders, FaZe Clan\u2019s Swagg, contrasted the maps while watching world-record Caldera gameplay. During a gunfight he noted that, for some reason, fighting on Verdansk felt particularly \u201cskillful\u201d compared to the new map. As Swagg then explained, that reason might be just how open Caldera\u2019s environments are \u2013 compared with the crowded infrastructure of the earlier map. Swagg explains why Warzone used to take more \u2018skill\u2019 (For mobile users, segment begins at 4:56) First things first, Swagg thinks \u201cCaldera is a good map\u201d and he enjoys playing in the new Pacific hellscape. But the overriding contrast he noticed comes in the map\u2019s design: \u201cThe difference between Caldera and Verdansk is just the verticality of the fights.\u201d \u201cYou got so many different fights in Verdansk \u2026 so many situations with different types of gunfights \u2026 In Caldera it\u2019s kind of all the same fights, since everything\u2019s in a field, kind of open-ish, you get kind of the same kind of fights. In Verdansk, there was always so many different buildings and openings.\u201d As someone going for high-kill games, it\u2019s no surprise that Swagg honed in on the fighting element of each territory \u2013 explaining why their battles feel so distinct. As a final note on the topic, Swagg said it felt like you had to \u201cbe skillful to fight in some of these areas\u201d in Verdansk. In essence, this alludes to the fact that dealing with varied gunfights takes more skill than fighting a similar fight each time. While it\u2019s true that Caldera does seem to have more open space and less verticality than its predecessor, its gunfights could also evolve as players get more comfortable on the map. It will be interesting to see if gamers can discover new openings and structures in the Pacific. Most interestingly, though, one has to wonder if the developers can create new verticality and diversity in their new map with in-game events. Something like a volcano erupting would certainly mix things up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
