Amsterdam becomes battleground for Call of Duty Warzone for the fourth time

The creators of Call of Duty are clearly big fans of the city. For the fourth time, gamers can use Amsterdam as a battleground in the shooting game, including buildings that are actually just outside the city limits. This time you can in the free and hugely popular version of the game, Warzone.

Named Vondel by its creators, the ‘Warzone map’ was created for the version of the game where a large number of players compete against each other until one team or player remains. The size of the map is therefore larger than normal in the game.

Well Muiderslot, no Vondelpark

Because the map is so large, there are several so-called points of interest. The Royal Palace, the Central Station and the Rijksmuseum can all be found here. For the rest, buildings such as the Waag, on the Nieuwmarkt, Eye and many canal houses are included as parts. In addition to all the canals that run through the map, there is also a moat around a castle from the 13th century. Which also resembles the Muiderslot, or Amsterdam Castle. It is striking that the Vondelpark has not been included, while the map still seems to bear the name of the park.

From June 14, Amsterdam will be the battleground for free in the new season of Warzone. All ‘Amsterdam’ highlights that the game makers have recorded are here to find back.

Fourth time

It is the fourth time that the makers of the popular shooting game have chosen the streets of Amsterdam. In Black Ops II, from 2012, a wintry Amsterdam was part of the game for the first time. After that, 2020’s Black Ops Cold War was in the campaign mode part of the Red Light District, where two residents even talked about a ‘portion.. portion.. portion of bitterballen.

In Modern Warfare II, which was released last year, a super realistic version of De Wallen could be seen as a mission and gamers could battle each other on a multiplayer-mapwhich was very similar to the Conservatorium Hotel.
