When Warzone first launched as a part of Modern Warfare back in 2019, it only had the one map \u2013 Verdansk. The original Verdansk is the one that most fans have the most nostalgia for and, naturally, compare every subsequent map against. Al Mazrah joined the fray as a part of the integration with Modern Warfare 2 and, at least initially, brought back some of those Verdansk vibes. Though, it wasn\u2019t long before players got frustrated by it and wanted something new. With the integration between Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 not too long away, and a new map in the form of Urzikstan coming soon, some players are bidding farewell to Al Mazrah. However, there is a bit of a split. Warzone players bid farewell to Al Mazrah For some players, including Redditor GroundbreakingKey964, Al Mazrah was viewed as a \u201cgreat map in a bad game\u201d and was \u201cfun\u201d because of the layout and varying POIs. \u201cNo stupid mechanics like fog or canals everywhere. It was simple yet great. \u201cDefinitely the best map in WZ2 and this will get me some s*it but I almost think it\u2019s a better map than Verdansk.\u201d they added. Others agreed. \u201cI liked Al-Mazrah; not too dense not too open. I like the vibe,\u201d said one. \u201cI\u2019ve always liked the map personally. Verdansk will always be #1 but Al Maz is so far ahead of Caldera,\u201d added another. Some players, though, didn\u2019t take too kindly to it being ranked above Verdansk by others. \u201cNope. Al Mazrah is bad map. Awful design. So much open space,\u201d argued one. \u201cTerrible map. And terrible that they didn\u2019t really seem to make the appropriate adjustments to it,\u201d another added. \u201cIt\u2019s not as good as Verdansk but it\u2019s infinitely better than that which I won\u2019t even name,\u201d commented another player. It remains to be seen how Urzikstan will compare with those maps that have come before, but at least players will be able to retreat to Rebirth Island before long if they\u2019re not taken by it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players split on Al Mazrah as they prepare for Urzikstan map ActivisionCall of Duty Warzone players are bidding their farewells to Al-Mazrah as we get closer to Urzikstan taking over, however, they\u2019re still split on the map after all this time.
