Call of Duty did a little self-check on the social networks by asking the gamers what their best drop is in the almost new Havens Hollow section of the war zone map. The answer is quite varied and quite intriguing. The hype is absolutely palpable, but there is also a lot of misunderstanding, and many players are asking for the old maps to be returned. Just like always, a riotous and wondrous mess, the Call of Duty community.
In case you didn’t know, Havens Hollow is a specific area located in the entire Urzikstan map in Call of Duty: Warzone. This area has numerous named locations, including Train Station, River Boat, and even a waterfall that is said to be concealing some secrets. The official tweet presented a graphic of the “hottest drops” and asked the players where they land. Seems like a simple question, right? You would probably think that.
However, the responses? Oh boy, they tell a bigger story. It is not just about the drops; it is also about the game status, player preferences, and what makes them frustrating.
Let’s get the good vibes situated first. Some gamers are just behind the new section. User @TimothyRHayden called Train Station “sneaky good,” most likely due to its position and loot. @Cleanz_FN too expressed his opinion, pointing out the nearby orange chests and a buy station for fast loadout pickup. That right there is the tactical play. Moreover, there is @pjkix who has a huge liking for Waterfall and @Glyphics who said they are “bringing VEGAS to River Boat EVERYTIME!” which sounds like a party that is ready to happen. One player even gave a hint about an easter egg behind the waterfall for loot, which sounds like a very cool secret that could make the spots even more attractive.
Then… oh but then! The opposite side is so clearly heard. A big number of the answers just stated that they are not even playing the main Urzikstan map. They are on Rebirth Island, which is the quicker and smaller Resurgence map. @angrydad2322 was very blunt: “I Only play rebirth. I avoid this map.” @LuckyChamu then replied, “We on rebirth little bro!” And @TheRealCobho even begged the “casual rotator” playlist to be changed so that they do not have to play Rebirth. It is literally a civil war in the comments between the big map traditionalists and the Resurgence lovers going on.
It doesn’t stop there. The nostalgia is strong. Many players want the old, vaulted maps like Ashika Island and Vondel back. @revlz2016 and @1lyjayy kept saying, “bring back vondel and ashika.” It is like a never-ending cycle in live service games—players fall in love with a map, it gets rotated out, and there is a steady demand for it to be brought back. The developers have to walk the tightrope of keeping things fresh while also giving people what they love, and it is definitely a hard one!
Then there are also random, funny, and at times technical complaints that arrive with it. One user @Phoenlxi was completely perplexed and shared a picture of a location on the border of the map and asked why would anyone go there “lmfao out of bounds as well.” To which another gamer kindly told him it is where the waterfall easter egg is. Mystery solved! Others are experiencing technical issues, like @devon5522 asking why double XP is actually not doubling, or @zpiphany saying FPS drops are their “least favorite” thing.
And the zombie players cannot be ignored! The tweet was about Warzone, but the Call of Duty community is one big, loud, and messy family. @_Orlis_Nathie_ said they would “rather just play zombies” while @TomatoMan45 got annoyed because the Black Ops 7 Zombies free trial did not allow them to play on the new maps. There is even a glimmer of hope in @FTJGaming’s request for an “Alcatraz DLC 2 Zombies map.” See what I mean? It is all chaos.
What’s the conclusion from the social media uproar? Certainly, Havens Hollow is a hot spot for a lot of gamers who are venturing through Urzikstan. It has its group of players that have found the best loot paths and hidden areas. But the debate surrounding it also uncovers the diverse tastes within the Warzone gaming community. You got your Rebirth fanatics, the Ashika Island nostalgics, and the Zombies lovers waiting for their turn, not to mention the rest of the players who just want to get a win without dealing with frame drops.
It actually reflects the reality of today’s gaming. A single question from a developer account morphs into a platform-wide discussion that touches on PlayStation, Xbox, and the broader ecosystem.
