What is the new Warzone 2 map?

In just a few hours Call of Duty fans all across the country will be able to jump into Warzone 2 and try out the new and improved map.

Dubbed 'Al Mazrah', the giant map will bring in a wave of new mechanics for players to experiment. This includes vehicular combat and a new swimming mechanic.

A far cry from the industrialisation of Verdansk, Al Mazrah looks more like a village with rivers, sand, and palm trees. Another major change coming to the new map is the circle which will not split into multiple circles throughout the game, rather than one major circle that slowly closes in.
