Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the most popular titles in the world right now if you are talking about battle royale games. This game brings an exciting last-man-standing experience in the avatar of our favorite franchise.
However, just like the recently launched title of the series, this game too is facing heavy backlash due to its maps. Things were getting steady when Raven just released one of its classic maps, but everything went down to the wire as the developers decided to pull it out of the rotation, just to save its most criticized map.
Raven Removes Rebirth Island from Call of Duty: Warzone
On November 18, less than a week after Season 1 premiered, Rebirth Island made a comeback to Warzone with a new playlist. Only a few hours later, though, developer Raven Software announced that it would be taking the map out of rotation for the time being because of “map-specific issues.”
According to the studio’s official Call of Duty Updates Twitter account, “We’ve removed Rebirth Island from the playlist while we investigate map-specific issues.” They went on to say that the problem won’t affect any other maps or modes and that more updates will be released as soon as the studio is prepared.
Fans will have to play either Warzone‘s new Area 99 Resurgence map or the expansive Battle Royale map, Urzikstan, in the interim as it is currently unknown how long it will take for Rebirth Island to return.
Activision confirmed just before the premiere of Season 1 that the map would be a version from the early seasons of Modern Warfare 3, which caused disappointment earlier this month as well. This resulted in an intact Power Plant, no Superstore point of interest, and no accessible bunkers.
Raven Did This On Purpose
Fans were delighted with the arrival of Rebirth Island in the game as Area 99 absolutely disgusted them. As the former is now out of the game, fans have no choice but to play the latter. That is why fans think this was a deliberate step from Raven “to get people to play Area 99.”
This map was released on November 14th as part of Season One for Black Ops 6. Hypes were at their peak before the launch of this map, but the map absolutely disappointed everyone. Frankly speaking, Area 99 lacked the depth and expansiveness of the battle royale experience, for which the game is known.
Yes, if you love smashing players in close combat and want a fast-paced match with a high level of chaos, then it might suit you. But it’s not the iconic Shipment map from the franchise. It’s a battle royale match where your patience and resilience will be tested, and Area 99 failed miserably in that.
The number of squads and players feels unrealistically too high for the size of the map. It never delivered an opportunity for strategic and expansive battle royale gameplay. However, right now you have no choice because Rebirth Island is gone from the game.
