The gaming world is buzzing in feverish excitement, thanks to one monumental, game-changing revelation: the brand-new Warzone map, Urzikstan! Activision hit us hard enough to shake loose the coins in our pockets as they announced this "epically gargantuan" battlefield. The map, packed with urban-rustic charm amidst a desert aura, coupled with picturesque water lanes, will find home in Battle Royale and Plunder once the revered and much-anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 takes off.
Urzikstan isn't just any old map thrown in for good measure. This arid battlefield has its roots embedded in the fictional country featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare editions 2019 and 2022 - and, like that promising new kid on the block, will debut in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 this November. Talk about keepin' it in the family! Intriguingly, a Warzone map based on Urzikstan was initially extracted from the data-rich mine in 2020, and it's only now that it's blooming into reality.
The live stream which showcased Urzikstan's big revea, featured its 11 tantalizing points of interest. Hosted by gaming goliath Little Caesars, popular streamer Dr. Lupo played tagalong, offering a sneak peek into what promises to be one of the most happening hotspots in the gaming universe.
Here's the lowdown for the curious gamers: the core gameplay elements echo the familiar rhythm of Warzone, but brace yourself as Activision throws in a bag of goodies to stir the pot. One of the brag-worthy additions? A drivable train! Operators will be able to choose the speed and direction of the train from the driver's seat. If that isn't cool enough, a landing team on the back can flip a handbreak, urging the driver team to give their cabin a little thrashing.
Another buzz is about the new horizontal zip lines that allow you to navigate Urzikstan with increased maneuverability. Other changes include the nostalgic return of the three-lane Gulag, engaging Modern Warfare 3-style movement, manually equipped gas masks, and red dots on the mini-map.
As far as the scale goes, Urzikstan flaunts its size and claims proximity to Caldera in terms of land mass, only slightly smaller than Al Mazrah. Descriptively, it's considered denser, scarce open areas, and packed with urban environments.
So, gear up to dive into Urzikstan and create an epic gaming chronicle! Don't forget to check out the best Warzone 2 guns available in Modern Warfare 2. It might just turn the tides in the battle for you, soldier!
