What are we doing,” one user said, while another replied, “Getting rid of Black Ops Royale is a BIG L.”

Fortunately, Raven Software hasn't removed the large map rotation feature Warzone fans have been wanting for years. Previously, fans were tied to whatever large map was available at the time, and while Resurgence, which features much smaller maps, allowed for a timed rotation feature, it was deemed impossible for larger maps due to the limitations of last-gen consoles. However, this is no longer the case as players can jump into either Avalon, which debuted alongside Black Ops Royale back in March, or the classic and beloved Verdansk, the first ever Call of Duty: Warzone map.
