Warzone’s battle royale maps have sparked endless debate among Call of Duty fans. From Verdansk’s iconic downtown to Rebirth Island’s frenetic action, each map offers a unique experience. So, we’ve tackled the tough task of ranking every major Warzone map, both big and small.

Best Warzone Maps Ranked

Big Battle Royale Maps

Verdansk

The OG map still reigns supreme. Verdansk’s balanced blend of urban areas, open fields, and unique POIs like Downtown fostered strategic rotations, thrilling gunfights, and a distinct flow that no other map has replicated.

Al Mazrah

Warzone 2’s biggest map boasts diverse POIs, including classic MW2 locations, and a central high ground that keeps the action focused. While some find it complex, Al Mazrah offers unmatched variety and potential for epic battles.

Urzikstan

Newcomer Urzikstan shows immense potential. Its smaller size compared to Al Mazrah keeps the action fast-paced, while familiar CoD locations add a touch of nostalgia. However, some find its complexity overwhelming, preventing it from reaching the top two.

Caldera

Lush greenery and vibrant landscapes couldn’t mask Caldera’s shortcomings. Visibility issues, unbalanced high ground, and replacing the beloved Verdansk led to its relegation to the bottom spot.

Resurgence Maps

Rebirth Island

The king of quick respawns and close-quarters chaos, Rebirth Island is a fan favorite. Its compact size guarantees constant action, while the verticality and movement mechanics encourage outplays and high killstreaks. Rebirth’s return in 2024 is eagerly awaited.

Vondel

Warzone 2’s biggest Resurgence map channels Amsterdam’s charm with familiar Verdansk-like buildings and aggressive gameplay. Vondel offers exciting rooftop battles and varied POIs, making it a strong contender for the top spot.

Ashika Island

This Asian-inspired map offers a balance between open areas and verticality. Its well-designed POIs and constant gunfights make it a popular choice. While not as iconic as Rebirth or as tactical as Vondel, Ashika Island remains a solid Resurgence option.

Fortune’s Keep

This short-lived map, inspired by the Mediterranean, felt like a step between Rebirth and the larger maps. Its size and verticality slowed down the combat pace, ultimately landing it at the bottom of the Resurgence ranking.

This ranking is, of course, subjective, and what appeals to one player might not resonate with another. But hopefully, this breakdown provides a comprehensive overview of Warzone‘s maps and their unique strengths and weaknesses, helping you choose the perfect battleground for your next epic showdown.
