Activision Releases Call of Duty Caldera Map in Open Source

Activision has officially made the Caldera map in Call of Duty available for non-commercial use, making the announcement on Wednesday that the release of an open-source data set featuring Call of Duty: Warzone’s Caldera map is available.

The set, as described by the company, contains “the near-complete geometry of Caldera as well as a collection of randomly selected anonymized time samples showing how players move around the map.”

The move is aimed at empowering developers and educators and to also assist in AI training in which the company believes can lead to “more intelligent systems, paving the way for the next generation of gaming and simulation technologies.”

“The map’s geometry data is approximately 4 GB but is comprised of more than five million meshes, 28 million primitives, and more than one-billion-point instances, which can also represent scene metadata such as volumes that we use for lighting processing,” Activision’s Chief Technology Officer Natalya Tatarchuk said in an official statement. “Its complexity is also a testament to the richness and detail that the team at Raven Software built, with help from Beenox, High Moon Studios, and the broader Call of Duty development teams.”
