'Holy s*** I've missed this': All the best reactions as Verdansk returns in Call of Duty: Warzone

Verdansk is back in Call of Duty: Warzone and if social media reactions are anything to go by, both new and returning players are absolutely loving it.

The iconic Warzone map returned on April 3 and saw a 200 per cent rise in its players on Steam alone on its first day with a peak of more than 111,000 players. Season 3 in Black Ops 6 started on April 2 as well.

Verdansk returned after more than three years away when it was retired by Activision in late 2021.

Free-to-play Warzone started out in March 2020, the same time the Covid pandemic started, and proved to be one of the biggest Call of Duty successes of all time with one of the most beloved maps in Verdansk ever too.

But would it be as good as before? Would it live up to the hype?
