20 Games of DMZ: The Free Experience
Ойындар
This is the story of my journey checking out CoD's free "DMZ": an extraction style mode as part of Warzone 2.0. I played 20 games, and documented them all.
I remain disinterested in MWII and CoD's multiplayer cycle, but I did say I'd try the free content. This seemed like a fun way to do it, instead of just some pessimistic review.

I had a very pleasant experience in DMZ. I’d killed 2 of this persons team and downed the third, but had a revive pistol, we revived the enemy, yes the revive pistol can do that, and told them they’re free to go as long as the dont follow us. It felt very rewarding and genuine to be able to just….let someone go

You just rushed my freaking spawn and tried to snipe us. You literally knocked two of my teammates and I rezzed them and you still tried to continue sniping them. Just because I pushed and killed you and your team I'm the douchebag for not joining up when you ask? Some of them will rush you while the snipers try to hold you down, which is basically what I do minus the rushing spawn spots, but don't you love getting pushed by 3 man teams fully geared with gold guns within the first minute of your match?

@@lialpie I've been betrayed countless times but not even I've been betrayed more than 3 times in a row. I had a 3 man team once fight with us but we killed two and the third guy pretended to be a different solo and joined our squad, except, one of the dead guys pleaded for help first and the new guy really did find an actual solo who arrived. Dude tried to distract us with a fake battle while dude and new solo dipped to pick up the two downed guys. The four of them immediately sprayed down one of my remaining teammates and I happened to have a Sakin LMG, was at airport doing the faction mission there. They were about to kill my other teammate too as he saw them kill our friendly and engaged but he downed one before he got downed. One of the four was picking up downed guy when I came around corner and mounted my 150 round lmg to the wall. 😂 Entire team dipped before the last one was even fully dead.
If you extract 7 times with that weapon case you get a nice chemist skin, honestly that's why I only played the game mode but then it grew on me, although it needs tons of more end game goals because as you said, it doesn't seem built for completionist like they said

In my eyes they have something SO good here if they take the right steps. I've been really enjoying every aspect of mw2 personally and have put an ungodly amount of hours into mp and dmz. With a few small changes that I'm sure they will make it will be 100x better, and I already have a blast squad filling and just helping people out with weapons/quests and wiping out squads. Assimilation has to be one of the most innovative mechanics COD has added in a long time. They're in pretty early on the extraction genre and I truly believe they have a real gem on their hands with the right moves Edit: forgot to say this is a good overall look at the gamemode and all of your criticisms are very fair. You always have the most grounded videos when they pop up on my feed.

I felt exactly like this guy until I played 40-50 games. Now I love it, but he is right on a lot of the issues. I wish there was a way to take out some gear or cash to stock pile. That would be so sweet.
I literally opened KZread to see what the community thought of DMZ and this is in my sub box. Perfect.
I find a few good things like gives you time to explore the map with out risk of being picked off or when you just want to do casual play and unlocking guns without buying the game
A new S0ur video!!! My day has instantly became better :)
I agree full stop, especially on the safe house thing. Hitman 3 is actually incorporating something just like that into a new “Freelance” mode coming out in a few months, it looks insanely fun to just fill the walls with things you brought back on your runs to use in the future. But to be fair, Tarkov doesn’t have meaningful progression because of its constant wipes. Nothing is ever saved, so does it ever really mean anything? And you put way too much effort into the subtitles, as always. Appreciate that, man.
@c2rt1f3d

In Tarkov you feel the pressure, you dont "want" to loose your gear. lvl6 armor and good gun+ammo matters, getting killed if you dont have much in your stash could set you back 3-4 hours if you are not experienced. I love tarkov wipes- each tarkov wipe I take vacation and grind until I reach lvl 42 where I unlock all the traders. Depending how much I have time to play, it will usually take 1-2 months after which I quit until the next wipe. For me, Tarkov is best gaming experience I have ever had.

Silly question maybe but perhaps if someone could tell me being a non-tarkov player what the point is of even going in with your good gear in the first place just to risk losing it? Seems easier to just go in naked and look for stuff to bring back. What do you get for risking all those hours of work?

Great video, you got a new sub! 17:17 Thank you! I've been fuming over this UI Dear ex-Hulu UI designer, your reputation truly precedes you...whoever you are xD The weapon camo UI is the same except instead of vertical scrolling...it's horizontal....bruh. No favorites options, no category to select, just infinite (at least it feels like it) scrolling.
The weapons level up over time in DMZ, Warzone, and MW2 without killing anything with them, just having the weapon equipped to one of your slots counts
love the narration. always makes my day watching your videos
I would’ve liked a day and night cycle or even a day and night map of warzone like what they did in Hunt Showdown. I also would’ve liked another “on soldier” slot for NVG’s.. maybe they add a bunker with a very rare key to open it. And u can get NVG’s so that way u can use them for darker areas. Just something to keep in mind. And also it would give u an extra gear fear if ur like me. I would definitely be mad if I died with rare NVG’s and a large backpack and a 3 plate armor. I think they have a good foundation but they can definitely add more life improvements for the future. Like why do we have batteries in the game and cant use em to charge ur flashlight or NVG’s?. just simple things they can add to fix the problem. Maybe more bosses with unique blueprints like the “Health Hazard” (That was a fun boss to kill) Or even better.. just add zombies in some sections of the map and call like a Dead Zone or something idk.. but they have endless opportunities to make this mode better. What ideas you guys have instead? I’m very interested and I’m happy to hear some ideas from you guys.
another banger upload. Laughed a lot at this one. Enjoying the pokemon streams too. Glad you're happy with what you're doing

it's funny cause I found the comments I left in this video back in November 2022, now we're almost in November 2023 and I haven't played the game since, for a lot of reasones, like the NickMercs drama about "leave children alone", Activision starting to add Pay-2-win operators for DMZ, plus all of the mission from season 1 were reset by them in Season 2. A lot of us didn't feel like doing everything again & left the game untouched. A friend insisted me recently, so I decided to give it a shot again after 1 year of inactivity & it's mostly the same, a mode mostly used to unlock new weapons (from previous season Battle Passes) by extracting them (to avoid grinding the challenges). Some things changed tho, like now they give you perks for exfilling in a row? a workbech? there's a mastery camo for DMZ? there's a wallet you need to unlock apparently? there's different types of vests? you can unlock a self-revive kit so you can start matches with it? there are 3-4 maps instead of 1? the "invite to team" feature now it's only 4 people max, instead of 6 max like before? Still I feel like it should be a pve mode, that's the route they're gonna take with MW3 "MWZ" after all, who knows if they'll end up shutting down DMZ after MW3 comes out
Excellent video! Definitely might try it with the boys but no rush to do things alone

Thank you for the video. Don’t remember how I found you, but always love your different take on the game. I agree with the whole cash thing, they should make it to if you have a certain amount of cash, you could buy an operator skin, or weapon skin, or maybe even a calling card, or an emblem.

You’ve probably seen this is in other comments and news but one thing severely lacking from DMZ is the survival aspect introduced in the campaign. There are so many amazing ideas the campaign took a risk with that worked surprisingly well that DMZ is a perfect match for but that IW just decided to exclude for some reason. Fully agree with you, DMZ has a ton of potential but they need to fix some critical core issues soon before it could become a main game mode to rival WZ or MP.
I like the dmz mode. Its got the co op fun of warzone but not as sweaty. Fighting over extracts has given me many exciting moments. Its a casual game for people like me with jobs. But, i loved this video and all your criticisms are valid!

There should be a bank account for your character where you can buy guns and attachments with money you earn in DMZ, on top of the experience and levels you earn through using the guns. Maybe in-game cash for skins for your character and weapons which would in turn open up character customization. Having an actual armory along with the firing range and an hideout aside that stuff can also be purchased for as well as to show off achievements, like medals and trophies, would make DMZ a legendary game. But they won't do this because they already sell skins and shit for real money in an limited form. Purchasing vehicle stuff too would be nice but at the absolute minimum they should let you keep the cash you earn and give you an option to pay to refresh your insured weapon slots. Like when you lose it and get locked out, instead of playing a match to lower the timer, actually keeping the money from every match and having an option to pay to end the timer totally or just pay to lower it by intervals would be nice. Actually, it would be cool if they gave you two or three more insured slots that you can pay a large lump of cash for would be awesome. You have the faction mission slots but three more that would / could cost, say, 1 million for the first then 5 million and 10 million for the final, but it locks out your weapon choices depending category or perk choices. Say you pick a sniper for your primary faction slot, for the paid for slots you can't pick another sniper or even an large weapon unless you have purchased an overkill perk, which wouldn't even otherwise effect gameplay, but even then you can't run the same weapon or weapon type. It would make you use pistols more as a secondary, though ingame you should and could still pick up any weapon you come across. Just when you finish the match and get back to game start area it will block you from carrying so that you either have to stash or destroy it. Being able to use in game cash to buy key and gun storage as well would be great.
Great video. Would be good if you could use the money you earn to make a 10 attachment weapon eventually
