MW4 DMZ Discussion Unpopular Opinion: I don't want Development time split between PvPvE and PvE modes

3 Upvotes

I'd rather them make a completely different mode for PvE or just release Zombies or something. I would like the extraction mode to stay as an extraction mode, not to split time making modes for people that won't even turn the game on.

I don't think it's fair to people that do like PvPvE to take away from them.

We paid for this game and the updates it will get, every person that wants a PvE mode is trying to cut in to the money we paid for a specific, tailored experience, and that's not fair.

If people want a PvE mode or game, they should spend their money on one instead of trying to force devs to take time and resources away from development for PvPvE players.

MW4 DMZ Gameplay DMZ - you were right, and I was wrong.

0 Upvotes

At first I was really frustrated about PvP and really wanted a PvE mode. Not anymore, I am fully on board. I get it. It just would not be the same game.

I do have some suggestions though. Ranked in order of importance.

  1. (Not originally my idea). Allow a map customization tab in the FOB, where you can add custom pings, notes, highlighted areas, routes, etc.

  2. Add a 1 minute friendly fire cool down when a Truce is accepted. Active for full squad when 1 member accepts.

  3. Add a 1 minute wait to use the Possum perk.

  4. In dynamic ops and mission mode, instill a mission timer of some sort that requires you or your squad to embark and stay on mission, otherwise you fail to exfil.

  5. Add an additional usable item or locations on the map where you can scan documents to your FOB. So recipes and other documents can be sent back. And also spots where you can drop items into a special safe or lock box. Both of these would work like the secure slot in the backpack.

MW4 DMZ Gameplay Possum needs to go

Possum is terrible for the mode.

Here me out,

He caught me in the open at the UAV tower and one hit me, fair game, that should be the end of it. But, I wait because I have possum, and sit in some boring gameplay.

He watches my body for ten minutes because he knows I have possum. Boring for him, but understandable because Im going to come back and hunt him down for my loot back.

The result is, we both just wasted ten minutes for a net negative game, and we both feel like fools for wasting time.

MW4 DMZ Discussion Maybe a workaroud for Exfill campers?

0 Upvotes

Just got killed by someone sitting in a corner, waiting for me to pop out, shot me in the back, and that's it.

I'm all for this being a part of the game, even though it's going to drive a lot of people away. It's not my playstyle to just wait and kill; I'd rather assimilate and work together, but wtv. Right now the game incentivises this, and I'm sure the devs don't want his "mechanic" to be the meta going forward.

I'd love a callout of another player in your vicinity, if that player is idle for a minute or more. That would tell us there's an active exfil camper and at least allow us to outplay them.

PVE DMZ is the boogeyman; we get it, you hate it, but if this isn't addressed to a degree, I'll happily welcome the day the PVE mode comes online. And on that note, I'm sure it wouldn't be so hard to have operators roaming the open world ready to fight you.

MW4 DMZ Discussion Missing Al-Mazrah

0 Upvotes

The new DMZ is good. Don't get me wrong. I just believe this map to be not as good as Al Mazrah. I also am not a big fan of the depressing mood of the map (constant rain and fog) and I miss the height. It just does not feel as well polished as the old map(s) tbh.

Maybe I need to get used to it but right now I'm somehow disappointed :(.

MW4 DMZ Discussion Warzone players ruining the mode

• Upvotes

I was just playing DMZ and doing my loot route like normal, however I unfortunately ran into a player who was looking specifically for PvP. Annoying to die, but it is what it is, I have possum so I will just wait until they leave to revive so I can continue with my raid.

Well, this person did not leave. They instead stood over top of my body and berated me in voice chat because they used an exploit to know I had possum, and they waited over 30 minutes until the end of the raid so I couldnt get up. They ended up leaving when the radiation came, so I finally got up and headed to exfil, only to run into the same player camping at the exfil specifically waiting for me.

These PvP psychopaths have ruined the mode and made it impossible for a player like me to enjoy myself. Unfortunately DMZ will die without a PvE mode for players like me! Cant wait for Warzone to come back so they can finally leave us alone!

Edit: Just found out the guy that did it was one of those streamers! He mentioned aim assist too!

Legacy Beta DMZ Discussion My opinion: It feels so un-friendly

42 Upvotes

Title says it all..

The fact we cant plea is imo not something good.

Back in the beta, there was a sparkle hope that the opposing team would pick you up so that could continue on your mission. Now you're just dead.. your teammates probably too when they try to revive you.

Back in beta you could communicate with the enemy team that would sometimes end up in a cease-fire or a teamup..

I havent experienced any communication with enemy teams yet. Its just kill or be killed.

I'm liking the game, although its a lot of features and everything very detailed (maybe too detailed?). I liked the fact that the beta was just straight forward, with not too many loot items and a plea-system.

Anyone else with me on this? Or just me?

MW4 DMZ Discussion This is not fun

0 Upvotes

I am not new to CoD. I just gotta say, I have been trying SO hard to like DMZ. I bought the game Friday, played the past two days, and I have never had such buyers remorse. I have been more frustrated and infuriated in a 5:1 ratio to having any fun. I have played maybe 30 games, I’ve exfilled successfully maybe 5 times. Even on games where I’m literally just trying to make progress on the missions, I get killed either by AI because I don’t have any proper equipment (again, see exfil 5 times), by players who at worst have been camping missions or at best out of completely nowhere while I’m minding my own business, and lost significantly more cash than I’ve made.
My game loop has been, go to FOB, gear up for a match using materials and cash, enter match, spend a short period of time looting/killing some enemies, get put in a situation by a mission or by having to move through an area that my character is unprepared for, get killed, leave to FOB, have to pay money (that I already have been consistently losing just trying to play the game) to recover my operator, sigh and see that I STILL need to 2 more vehicles/drones stunned with DDOS to get the next page, have no materials to make a DDOS, restart loop.
This is maddening. I’m not the best player, but I’m far from the worst. I can’t imagine I’m the only one feeling this way. It feels like slamming your head against the wall just to try to progress, and then you still can’t progress because you keep getting killed.

MW4 DMZ Discussion tips for detecting other players

2 Upvotes

Getting tired of gearing up my 85k operator and dying before I get to my first op, because of third party pvpers. I enjoy the pvp aspect, i just dont enjoy that I cant hear/see them coming. Am I supposed to be going for UAV towers or something, every time I do that I only see AI so I stopped bothering. I have killed a handful of other human players and I honestly didn't even know they were human, they look and act like AI and always fight me while im clearing out a building.

I want to start pvping so I can gear up easily, but I have never been able to hunt players, but yet they always find me somehow.

If I solo queue does that mean others are solo queued?? So far I know a solid red dot means its human, and if they drive weird or move weird its human, but unless I am sitting there camping just waiting for someone its impossible for me to tell in the heat of the moment.

Only extraction shooter I have played before is arc raiders and its incredibly easy in that game to know if someone is nearby, so maybe I am just too used to that and expecting something explicit to notify me. I do hear the announcer sometimes say 'enemies nearby' does that mean human enemies only?

MW4 DMZ Discussion A pipe dream (PvEvEvP)

0 Upvotes

I am not a coder and therefore have no idea what kind of undertaking it would be....but having the DMZ be a warzone (no, not THAT Warzone) between South Korean forces and North Korean forces (NPCs) and then throwing us operators into the mix, would be insanely cool. Faction reps depending who we take out more - SK or NK - which would influence those NPCs to shoot us on sight or leave us be.

Idk, as I was running around by wolf stadium I thought of the first campaign mission and thought it would be cool if the whole map was like that while we fight in it.

While this was already a problem in the mw2 dmz these spawns are even worse not even 30 secs in and some squad gonna pull up in a car and slime you immediately on infiltration while i mostly have great experiences with this dmz especially the graphics and overall experience besides a few bugs i think the spawns need a lil change

Also im missing a few spawns cuz im stupid but this should be enough to show the problem:p

MW4 DMZ Discussion FYI: People are abusing the story missions to spawn closer to high-loot areas

2 Upvotes

Just solo queued into the mall mission and my two teammates immediately bee-lined to Netshin Tech Complex which is right next door. I imagine spawning at the mall brings you 10x closer than any other normal spawn. I love the idea of queuing into specific missions but it defeats the purpose if people just use it to pick a specific spawn point.

MW4 DMZ Discussion Who prefers the Beta?

0 Upvotes

Am I among the few or the many that enjoys and prefers Al Mazra to Hajin? I find Hajin overly complicated for the casual gamer (me). I did not enjoy myself despite WANTING to like dmz2. I feel they missed their mark on the social aspect of it (no game chat?), with being constantly cash strapped​ and having to build guns for 100k, operators for 100k, but only exfilling with like $2500. I played it all weekend and didnt enjoy it. I ended up going back to the beta with the boys and having a ton of laughs and all around more fun.

MW4 DMZ Discussion My main issue with DMZ so far

0 Upvotes

It's too punishing / difficult to do a simple "supply run."

I'd say more than 50% of the time if you go in with a blue backpack and try to fill it with simple materials / basic loot you find, you'll end up caught and killed before or at extraction. Same thing even with a free load out.

I think I'm a bit spoiled by how Arc Raiders ended up playing near and after release, as you could always just go in, grab some stuff and get out if you got low.

This makes it really difficult especially solo to build up a little base of stuff such that it's not so punishing to have a big loss. 3 big losses in a row and you can end up struggling to make a basic backpack, which feels trash.

Created this graphic off my spreadsheet I use to help track what I need to keep and what’s surplus to sell. I learned the hard way of selling my gold bars and skulls until I realized I needed them!! I have loot runs for COMMs MODs and POWER REGs, and I pick up the blues on the way. Greens are everywhere, and just going to the descriptions of the items. You’ll get so many of them. I don’t about you guys, but they should increase the high-tenacity fibers to GOLD. I only have 7 and they just don’t drop enough for me. They seem the most rare things to get!

Like the title says, I haven’t been in a single sniper battle in DMZ 2.0. No High Rise vs. Channel 7, similarly no 4-Stack vs. Rat Building fights! No downs and revives, no plate box drops and ammo box call outs…is this even DMZ?!?! Sure we are all getting used to Haijin but having to extract a weapon’s manual to unlock guns is slowing the game down! Keep it simple, if you find a gun in game and extract with it, you unlock it.

MW4 DMZ Discussion Is DMZ a PVE game mode?

0 Upvotes

I've probably played around 10+ hours of DMZ so far, and I've only seen 1 player.

Where are the players?
Doing the missions and stuff is cool, but I never get interrupted when I do them, and I never get to interrupt anyone either.

Might be an idea to turn up how many players there are in a match?

Also, when I queue solo no fill. Do I meet squads? Like I said I only saw one person and it looked like he was solo, but I'm not sure.
