DMZ is not going away!

[Dies Horribly]

I'm frankly surprised at how many confuse MW2 with Warzone, but on the other hand, I kind of understand the confusion a little bit. And I think Activision even welcome it because it's what drives up the sales for MW3. So I'm calling them out on this - I don't think they're acting in good faith on this matter...

First of all, DMZ is part of Warzone! Which used to be Warzone 2, but they dropped the 2, because of their plan to have Warzone as the core free experience for Call of Duty. Also part of Warzone are the Battle Royale modes.

MW2 only comes with a few benefits that go on top of that core experience, like operators, some initial CoD points, battlepass, etc.

MW3 doesn't come with a new Warzone, because remember, Warzone is a different product that also happens to be the core of Call of Duty! So they will be changing Warzone to include the new gameplay mechanics, and all the different bits and pieces, and that means DMZ gets those changes!
It comes with that new Zombie mode. And they did say that they have a new "aftermarket customization" for guns, that comes with MW3, which they make it sound like you'd have to buy MW3 in order for it to be available for you in Warzone, though there's no mention of that in the description of their MW3 steam page.

Speaking of, if you look at their MW3 Steam page, the description says that buying MW3 gets you MW2 too, which is mind-blowing to me. I mean, if they're including MW2 in that price, which is only 1 year old, I would at least expect an upgrade option for those who already purchased MW2...

But also what stands out from that page is the lack of mention of Warzone (except for the bit about pre-order which I find ridiculous since Warzone is free). Also

TLDR: DMZ is part of Warzone not MW2. With MW3 we're not getting a new Warzone, but because MW3 we're getting an updated Warzone, and that means DMZ too. FOR FREE!

DMZ mode will die quickly soon 😢 because players do not play contracts in matches and they are not playing missions too 😌 What they do is only hunt players and ruin matches.

What missions are players gonna do if Activision doesn't update the current missions? most of the players finish all the missions months ago.

same thing you would do if you finished any free game that has a pvp aspect for it still?

pvp?

which is why they were never going to remove it to begin with.

remember, this is a free game we're talking about here.

expecting them to continuously update it when the premium title it came out with isn't even going to continue being updated is an insane expectation to say the least.

BR is also a free game that is going to get the new update, both are free games that make money through the game store, more money that the so called (only by you) "premium game" does, so all your arguments are incorrect. And I'm not having this conversation with you again, go bother somebody else if you don't know what you're talking about.

As I previously say, you can't FINISH a GaaS, same as you can't finish a MMO game, or a multiplayer game, that is the currently case.

DMZ will be abandoned and they confirmed they will only support it with fixes and maybe some balance changes. No new maps, no new content, they probably won't even add MWIII movement in it (which would be ok because it's meant to be a slower mode)

So better wait till season 1 to know more. But I'm not very confident with the future of the mode. Shame on them.

You are honestly crazy if you think they will abandon DMZ, its golden goose

In another article, it stated the zombies mode would have dmz features.

Yes, and that's true but Zombies and DMZ are different modes, Zombies are not free like DMZ.

What I want to say is Zombies is not substituting DMZ as a mode, Zombies is going to be part of MW3 not Warzone.

Is a reality, Zombies is part of MW3, so you need the game to be able play it.

DMZ is full of campers who kill you to get your stuff and nothing else.


If they kill you at least they would have to wake you up but not even that.

This tweet literally confirms what i said, they can't just outright say DMZ is abandoned when its still going to be in the game.

It doesn't confirm anything, is pure speculation. We'll see in season 1. And I'm not saying you're not right, I don't think this mode will continue to be updated.
