News - Call Of Duty Had Something Special Until They Cancelled It. Dmz 2024

To me, it's the whole War Zone and Battle Royale thing all over again, but instead, this one was given up on before it really had a chance to flourish. Blackout and War Zone people were like Call of Duty, which has no business in these Battle Royale modes. I'm sure, while from a fan perspective and someone who may see what they're into affected the focus of the multiplayer, experience, and stuff like that, it's objectively the fact that War Zone and COD's investment into Battle Royale made a wildly successful and industry-leading game.

I truly think that DMZ could have done that again with the extraction genre I fully do. I 100% believe that the mechanics and the fluidity of Call of Duty would fit in extraction mode pretty perfectly again. Being that middle ground between something hardcore and something that's just like a very basic introduction to the genre and gameplay loop, you play any other hardcore extraction game out there in the mode, and the mechanics just feel Kind of clunky.

I guess, is a way to put it, and frankly, this is one time you'll ever really hear me compliment Modern Warfare 2 with the slow pacing of Modern Warfare 2 and the mechanic limitations. For Modern Warfare 2 mixed with the Call of Duty feel and the fluidity of that kind of stuff, it goes really well for an extraction game; literally, nothing else I'll give a compliment to, just the extraction mode of DMZ.

Wars in MMP again, I'll still stick by that it was probably one of my least favorite EXP experiences in the last decade or so in the Cod franchise, but DMZ, I mean, it was okay. And with all that in mind again, it just seemed like such a great middle ground for the genre as a whole, an approachable Avenue, something that's just like your surface-level exploration of a game genre, and being that it was free to play again, you didn't have to buy anything to try and get good at the basic fundamentals of it; you just play the game, and frankly, one of the things that I really loved about it was the inclusion of all the console play, of course, because it's Call of Duty.

It's on PC. It's on Xbox; it's on PlayStation, and cross-generation too, so it was on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as all the new hardware out there. I enjoy covering extraction shooters and such, but the one thing that is a common thread is that a lot of them are on PC, so even if a game is played perfectly, it still could limit player bases because it might not be on Xbox or Playstation, and I do feel bad when I see comments; it's like.

Hey, is this coming to console, and I have to be like, no, unfortunately, not. But I mean, DMZ was one of those things. Again, give it the praise or criticism you want, but it was certainly accessible, and to me, that was a huge thing. Now, it seems like perhaps the only reason why it wasn't supported is because, again, you'll still find success in players.

In the mode even now, it just didn't seem like there was any real way to monetize it, which is what sucks that it comes down to that, but that's kind of what it seems like, and that's why we ended up seeing bundles eventually introduced with some sort of bonus. Whether it be a backpack, a UAV, or a self-revival, it was small, but it was certainly enough to make that argument for players that, okay, now they're trying to push a little bit of pay to win, and whenever that's not generating a ton of revenue by comparison to just War Zone Cosmetics bundles, blueprints, and that kind of stuff—I imagine that was the catalyst for okay, this isn't getting our return on investment; let's shut it down, and honestly, that's SE that we won't see a revival of any kind in the future with continued support.

I mean, number one, it was an Infinity Wards baby. There wasn't a studio to pick it up after Infinity War dropped off. They're likely full steam ahead on COD 2026. Whatever that may be, with all that is reported to have come up, wouldn't it have been cool to see DMZ, like Verdansk, in the future year of War Zone?

I think that would have been just such a cool and missed opportunity to not bring that back in some capacity. I just feel like for once Cod kind of peaked. Too early, if that makes sense, like with how many things in the past decade they've waited for industry trends on and then jumped on the bandwagon.

Of it, it seems like they were too early to the party for this one. I thought they might have been a little too late with the Battle Royale space after the C had been going on for years and years, but I mean, it worked out for them with War Zone but dropping support and then seeing a ton of games up coming in the future, with tons of Prospect like Gry Zone Warfare Arena breakout infinite pubg's project Black Budget, the Delta Forest Hawk Ops Hazard Zone mode incursion Red River, and, of course, all still while having that base catalyst of the genre, like TV, all available.

The genre is booming, there's going to be a lot more projects up coming here that really do expand that out further, and honestly, we might be entering that age of extraction shooters, but Cod's not going to be a part of it, or at least not for a little while, it seems like, so it seems like they may have tried to capitalize on it too early, which is a bum cuz I do think that it could have been something that going into the future if it wasn't all about corporate profits.

I just wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about DMZ as an experience and something I've been thinking about recently here out of the extraction boom in recent weeks to months, and where we could have had something.
