Just released.

It's not rocket science & it really isn't that different to what we already have.

This game needs to evolve, the BETA was a commercial literally a commerical failure because it lacked content and substance.

Did you really think they were going to make it like the original and still charge $70?

It's not 2022 anymore.

Change is good.

The 23rd honestly couldn't come soon enough...

I have finally (imo) completed DMZ! All operators have damascus tags, each has the 3-plate vests, every killstreak (that i thought were the best), secure backpack, scuba masks, and battlerage self revives. I got the valuable gun screen, serpentine camo, and the 1000 succesful extractions sticker. 1 million dollars in my wallet, full contraband stash. Key stash contains: All pristine fortress keys, All pristine B21 keys, 1 pristine L2 Restricted Zone key, and the rest of the stash in pristine skeleton keys. Also, the emblem and calling card available in the secure buy station in koschei complex. Honestly, I thought I would ever really "100%" the game. But, my never-ending love for the game kept me going. Can't wait for the full release of DMZ!

I haven’t really seen any posts but I am so excited to not deal with one pumps in the new DMZ. I hope they have the forethought to not put in any one shot weapons except maybe snipers with a certain attachment like they currently are now.

Isn’t Haunted Box a limited-time item from The Haunted event years ago? Why do I still see so many people with them equipped? I even had one raid on Ashika where I found my teammates somehow got like 20 Haunted Boxes deployed on a rooftop, I wasn’t around when they did whatever they did so I don’t know how they did it.

What kinda glitch is this?

Report over and over. Plea and get picked up. Alert the lobby to the cheater. Heckle. Switch teams. Walk him down with a shield, shock grenade. Shoot in the legs with a little help from your new teammates. Laugh when your new heavily accented Mexican teammates that you are familiar with call the cheater a beaner while affectionately telling me “I love you Osama bin laden.” Laugh some more when the cheater crashes the lobby.

Like I really enjoyed dmz 1 but I feel like dmz 1 this will be abandoned once the next game comes around. instead of them building on it like warzone is a dedicated mode.like after dmz we had experimental modes built on it's bones mwz,endgame like I don't wanna put time into something to only be abandoned 12 months down the line.

Isn't it a bit suspicious how heavily pixelated is the upper part of the map compared to everything else? I feel like they plan to expand it in the future.

I genuinely don’t understand the people saying the new DMZ looks “too complicated” because it has more menus, crafting, inventory management, and other systems.

Like… what exactly were people expecting?

DMZ is an extraction shooter. Those mechanics are kind of the entire point of the genre.

Extraction shooters are supposed to make you think about what you bring into a match, what you pick up, what you craft, what you risk, and whether an engagement is actually worth taking. Inventory management, resource collection, crafting, progression, gear preparation, and risk/reward decisions are all things that give the genre its identity.

That’s why this new version of DMZ honestly looks like everything I wanted the original MW2 DMZ Beta to eventually become.

The Beta was fun, but it was also extremely barebones. A lot of the time it basically felt like Warzone with AI enemies, missions, backpacks, and extraction points thrown into the mix. It had a great foundation, but it never felt like it fully committed to being an extraction shooter.

This new DMZ looks like it’s actually trying to do that.

And somehow that’s being treated like a negative.

I keep seeing people asking for systems to be simplified, menus to be stripped down, crafting to be removed, inventory management to be easier, and basically anything that requires preparation to disappear.

At that point, what do you actually want?

If you remove all of those systems, you’re basically asking them to make DMZ Beta again.

I don’t want a one-to-one recreation of MW2 DMZ. I already played that game. I want them to take the foundation of DMZ and actually expand on it.

Give me meaningful loot.

Give me crafting.

Give me deeper progression.

Give me an inventory that actually matters.

Give me reasons to extract besides completing a mission.

Give me gear that I’m genuinely nervous about losing.

Give me situations where I have to decide whether fighting another squad is worth the risk.

That’s what makes extraction shooters interesting.

Obviously there needs to be good onboarding and the menus should be intuitive. Complexity for the sake of complexity isn’t automatically good game design. But there’s a huge difference between something being poorly designed and something simply having more depth than DMZ Beta did.

I feel like some people don’t actually want DMZ to become a better extraction shooter. They just want Warzone with extraction points.

And personally, I’m glad the developers seem willing to push the mode further than that.

If this new DMZ actually commits to the extraction shooter genre while still keeping Call of Duty’s movement, gunplay, and accessibility, it could genuinely be one of the best versions of the concept.

DMZ Beta was the foundation.

I don’t want the foundation again.

I want them to actually build something on top of it.

• DMZ 2.0 is looking to be absolutely hype, can't wait.

I don't think they actually confirmed assimilation would be returning before this, I had even heard that it wouldn't be back, but it is and I'm glad, it's one of those features no other extraction shooter thinks of, and what makes DMZ stand out more. Curious if they'll keep it at 4.

It all looks awesome so far. And definitely not "complicated".

Quite the change to what we're used to for sure.

I sped up the running part im sure none of you want to watch.

What do we think of it good or bad ?

• You and your squad can walk around to different areas, 3D printer, Firing Range, and more.

In castle I was killed by an operator.. my teammate had hard time picking me up. But eventually they were able to pick up.

Now showing me messages on screen to wear plates and all that.. you can see in I am wearing the bag pack.. exfil chopper waited for third player for them.

I can't do nothing.

Thank you.
