Players have expressed significant criticism of Urzikstan, introduced in fall 2023, citing several key issues:

  • Lack of memorable locations
  • Monotonous color palette
  • Poor layout for battle royale gameplay
  • Missing iconic features like airports and stadiums

The community's response to Verdansk's return has been overwhelmingly positive, though some caution that nostalgia may be influencing expectations. Historical patterns show similar excitement for new maps like Caldera and Al Mazrah, which eventually faced criticism.
