With the launch of Modern Warfare 3 came an appreciated surprise for Warzone players: A new map inspired by the original 2019 Battle Royale Drop Zone. Even better, the developers confirmed that this fresh location will feature numerous Points of Interest, each serving to intensify the combat and movement. The following is a complete list of these POIs, along with tactical descriptions for each.
Call of Duty: Warzone – Urzikstan Map Release Date & Details
The new Warzone map is called Urzikstan and will be launched along with MW3’s first season; here’s the release date and the map overview.
List of All Points of Interest in the Urzikstan Map
In total, there are 11 Points of Interest in Warzone’s new map, Urzikstan. These include the Old and New Towns, Popov Power, Levin Resort, Seaport District, Urzikstan Cargo, Hadiqa Farms, Zaravan City, Zaravan District, Shahin Manor, and the Orlov Military Base.
Here’s an overview of this map:
Old Town
Located at the center of the map, the Old Town is home to many abandoned and ruined buildings. This particular district will be essential in ambushing rotating enemies, as it is one of the strategically centralized Points of Interest.
Low Town
Near the Old Town, there’s a shantytown called the Low Town. Players should expect close-quarters confrontations and tactical battles in this area because of the dense buildings. They must also be prepared for high-ground attacks as the Low Town is exposed to nearby vantage points.
Seaport District
Hosting the most in-water combats, the Seaport District is surrounded by maritime buildings. Thanks to these structures, players can resupply in the area or push enemies near waterways.
Urzikstan Cargo
Serving as one of the best vantage points in the map’s center, the Urzikstan Cargo gives control over the Seaport District, Old Town, and Popov Power. However, the compound itself necessitates close-range combat as it’s packed with industrial machinery.
Hadiqa Farms
As the only major POI of eastern Urzikstan, Hadiqa Farms are a collection of wide and open lands. This location is ideal for long-range horizontal combat as the high-ground vantage points are limited.
Shahin Manor
Located on the south-east of the map, Shahin Manor is a mansion. The building is strategic as it boasts lucrative loot items and will probably become one of the most crowded areas after the initial drop.
Zaravan City
Zaravan City is comparable to Al Mazrah City in the previous Warzone map. The location is dense, crammed with skyscrapers, and perfect for close to long-range tactical battles. However, sharpshooters will likely dominate this district as the tall buildings offer a broad view of the city.
Zaravan Suburbs
An access point to the city, Zaravan Suburbs is a low-risk way to ambush crowded parts of the map in the southern regions. Suburbs are also a tactical choice for players looking to avoid waterways when approaching Zaravan City.
Orlov Military Base
Reminiscing the Countdown map for CoD4: Moden Warfare, the Orlov Military Base is located in the mountainous regions of northern Urzikstan. This geographical advantage makes this POI one of the most critical strongholds.
Popov Power
Popov Power is a deserted part of the map, where most teams will camp, resupply, and plan their rotation strategy. However, similar to the Orlov Military Base, Popov Power is a high-ground POI that could change the course of the game—especially during the final circles in the upper districts.
Levin Resort
A jam-packed location with low buildings, Levin Resort, is the touristic area of Urzikstan. Players can rely on this POI as an early-game vantage point and a stronghold.
Where Is Urzikstan Located?
According to Call of Duty’s lore, Urzikstan is located near Al Mazrah in western Asia. The metropolis also borders the Black Sea and is featured in Modern Warfare’s campaign.
