Call of Duty Warzone Pacific's real life inspirations for Caldera
Call of Duty Warzone brought the Caldera map with its Pacific update. It boasts a whole new ecosystem and different aesthetics compared to the previous Verdansk map.
Considering the series' historic inspirations and that the map takes place in the Pacific, it's not surprising that Caldera's many POI's (Point of Interest) take after real life (and often historically notable) locations.
There are five notable inspirations introduced in Warzone Pacific:
Peak POI on the map is based on the Hawai'ian astronomical research facility. First set up in 1961, it is also Hawai'i's very first facility to study and delve into matters of outer space. It is owned by the Institute of Astronomy, which is part of the University of Hawai'i.
The Warzone Pacific version isn't a 1:1 copy, but is still a good-looking rendition. The POI is a nice place to hunker down and offers decent verticality during combat.
Caldera features the Sub Pen, a vast hunk of buildings packed with lazy submarines drifting on the water, all connected by corridors and rooms. It takes a page from the Lorient Submarine Base.
The Germans established the original building in Lorient, France, during World War II. After the fall of the Germans, it was under the French Navy's control, and now is a museum for public visits. The in-game rendition has some areas with water, but swimming is not recommended.
Pearl Harbor was one of World War II's highlights, featuring a surprise attack by Japanese air forces on US Naval fleets. The first radio broadcast for the Japanese ambush came from this very tower on December 7, 1941 - while under active attack.
Warzone Pacific's Terminal POI is very similar in its design. It is a sizable home to aircrafts in hangars.
