Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 1 is launching this week, and while there’s plenty to be excited about, one thing players will want to know is that their Warzone stats are getting a reset once the new map, Urzikstan, arrives.

This was confirmed via a call with Call of Duty developers with content creators to discuss the upcoming Warzone season. Among the chat was a confirmation of a Warzone stats reset and new information concerning the map’s player count, queue options, and more. Content creator Modern Warzone posted these details on X, which you can read in the summary below. 

• Player stats are being reset in Warzone when Urzikstan launches on December 6.
• Urzikstan is “20%” smaller than Al Mazrah.
• It will be 100 players at launch.
• Singles, duos, trios, and quads are available at launch and for the full season. 
• Enemy pings will show in Killcams. 
• Emotes and gestures are not planned for the new Season of Warzone on Urzikstan. 

Some big stuff was revealed there, especially the Warzone state reset. While stat resets are typically met with backlash, the improvements this season over what was essentially Warzone 2.0 are significant enough. Plus, Warzone 2.0 wasn’t exactly well received by players, so wiping those stats and starting fresh may be the wise decision as we’re sure plenty want to forget their time with the title. 

What do you think? Are you glad or disappointed a state wipe is coming?
