Call of Duty is re-entering the extraction shooter space, for real this time, with DMZ mode in Modern Warfare 4 later this year.
Modern Warfare II’s DMZ beta sort of felt like CoD dipping its toes into what Escape From Tarkov made so popular. This time around, MW4’s DMZ is a dive right into the deep end in comparison. A new map, new systems, and a bigger commitment to the mode spell excitement for CoD players.
While I didn’t get to play DMZ in late May when I visited Infinity Ward, I did see an informative presentation about it and talk to some of the developers, including multiplayer creative director Geoff Smith and multiplayer technical designer Jack Hoppus, who told me that the team has learned and added a lot since the beta version in 2022 and 2023
