As the final season with Verdansk, the original Warzone map has changed up quite a bit. Three POIs in particular have been tweaked to some degree.

Next is something entirely new in Season 6 as WWII Bunkers have been scattered under Verdansk. Similar to earlier bunkers last year, these are filled with high-tier loot, so you’ll definitely want to hunt them down.
Return of the original Gulag in Warzone Season 6
Perhaps the most alluring aspect of the Season 6 update is the return of the classic Gulag. After months on the sidelines as classic Black Ops maps had their layouts copied over in the Gulag, the very first design is back with a twist.
It won’t be identical to what you remember, but it should be close enough to capture the magic of the original Warzone 1v1 once again.
