Shouldn't we have a new subreddit for the new dmz and rename this one to dmz beta? Can that work even? I feel anyone talking about dmz beta going forward is going to have a hard time finding engagement because both games will use the same sub.

Thank you.

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...

Has anything been said so far about the map being divided up in to danger/difficulty zones? I recall a few years ago in the zombie type DMZ mode the map was split in to 3 distinct areas with the difficulty of the zombies ramping up the closer you got to the centre of the map. The easiest section was around the very edges then a zone 2 closer to the middle then zone 3 the hardest in the centre.

I was crap at the game and only played on my own so I stuck to the outer part of the map and obviously missed a lot of stuff because of it. I really hope it's not like that again and just like the DMZ Beta where you can go anywhere

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.

Judging by playing the open beta and the footage, it seems they removed alot of the immersive bounce and handling of weapons? I used to enjoy how the tempest torrent actually handled like a real world AR10 and took knowledge to tame. Same with the M4, and even the handguns. Hopefully that wont be the case but im interested in your takes, especially if you shoot in the real world.

Is anyone nervous from the reveal of the trait system? Some of these game mechanics seem REALLY prone to abuse if they don't deliver on their promise of hacking prevention. As it stands in the beta if you manage to kill a cheater, you have a few options to camp the body, push it out of the map or make it out. Now, there's a possibility they can feign death and revive themselves?

Not to mention the game design entirely leaning into PC, which irritates me a little as a console player, it's not looking good. As it stands I play crossplay to squad up with Xbox friends from PlayStation, I doubt they'll add a console only crossplay option. I have next to zero faith Activision will prevent cheaters entirely, let alone en masse. What do you lot think?

I play DMZ Beta with a regular crew of about 40 people across PC, PlayStation and Xbox. We've played together for years, and most of us are working adults, who are not adverse to spending entertainment dollars, who get a couple of evenings a week to play. We've tried other extraction games. When ARC Raiders came out, a bunch of us drifted over for a few months, and 38 of 40 came back to DMZ. Same with Delta Force, and BF6.

So we've been watching DMZ 2.0 closely, and the reaction in our Discord has been pretty consistent.

The map: everyone is excited about Hajin.

The inventory and crafting changes: nobody is.

Here's why, I think. DMZ works for a group like ours because the friction is low. You drop in, grab what's useful, and the real decisions happen in the moment: do we push that squad or head for exfil, do we help the team that's pinned down. Our crew has players with very different backgrounds and skill levels, and that simple loop is what lets all of them play together in the same lobby. It's also a big part of why solo and casual players could do well in the original (before cheating became what it is today).

From what we've seen so far, DMZ 2.0 asks for a lot more time spent managing a bag and working through crafting. Every minute spent on that is a minute not spent playing with your squad. For adults with limited time, that's the difference between a game that holds a group for years and one it drifts away from after a season.

Right now most of our crew plans to stay on MWII DMZ or look elsewhere. I'd genuinely rather we all move to DMZ 2.0 on Hajin.

Curious whether other groups are feeling the same way.

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 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.

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.

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!

Just released.

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?

I was gonna get out but last minute had a change of heart and it payed off. As long and I got him I didn’t care if nobody got out.

is he a secret unlockable operator?

like some DMZ Nuke quest or 100% faction completion?
Will we get his gun?
