I'm an older dude also 50+. DMZ brought me back to video games...watching Phix, On1c, Westie and Stodeh. Last time I played video games was on PS2.... socom3 and splinter cell.
100% I always loved BF and COD but never a massive fan of BR DMZ has bridged that gap and kept us old foggies (50) in the game. Just look at the chat...all older demagraphic!
I've always assumed it would return solely based on the "BETA" classification. Only after i quit videogames (DMZ being my primary game most of the last years) many months back did i hear it was canceled in some delineation or another. Im glad to hear some/if any confirmation or talk confiming my original suspicions. It was a one of a kind experience in the early seasons and its one of the few, if not only games that vaules not being a complete and under shtbag all the time hahah One of the only semi-cicalized gaming communities. long live DMZ 👍
Tdawgsmitty posted a video almost a month ago playing old call of duty games that are deemed dead and Black ops 4 is still online. Phixate is right and love your content to bro keep it up. Cheers
@@Phixate it’s awesome to see you playing this game with Loochy you guys seem to genuinely just have a good ass time! Cant wait to see more ! Keep the amazing work bro
DMZ in the beginning was awesome. Some PvP , some PvE, surprise interactions, , lots of maps and missions. Best mode ever. Just left because now it's just PvP, too hard for solo players. I hope they bring this mode back in the future
DMZ was the reason I came back to cod . I played from the very first cod and would play the campaign then not touch it . Bo2 was when I started playing multiplayer and even with that after a month I wouldn’t play the game again. I got mw2 with a ps5 bundle, I was looking through the game modes and I saw DMZ, I didn’t know what it was but was hooked instantly as it’s more then just mindless killing each other .
same here.. last thing I played was infinite warfare and Modern warfare remastered... but I specifically came back because of DMZ.. because I wasn't interested in warzone and this mode made me come back to cod...I literally completed every battle pass and bought both of the games... if I could complete MWIII battle pass in DMZ I would probably still be in the mode
They discontinued support on DMZ for the MWIII life cycle hoping that the DMZ community would hop-on MW Zombies, but we did not. I think what's happening is that Activision may be realizing their mistake and they've now understood that there is not only an actual audience for that type of gamemode, but also a new direct and solid competitor with Delta Force coming out soon, which may very well be why we could see DMZ servers held-up as well as DMZ return in the next IW game. Let's hope it happens !
DMZ is THE only game mode I play! I still enjoy it and love to this day. I truly hope it gets a well deserved update. If it doesn’t, I will still be playing it until they shut it down.
I absolutely love DMZ, I just don’t like how it’s become basically a BR with extraction shooter elements, but loved it when people actually played it like an actual extraction shooter that was faster paced.
The interaction with some the new online freinds i have got playing DMZ is like no other game i have ever played online. I am 63 and hope this map stays until the possible replacement. Still lovin it and laughing a lot. ❤️
A buddy of mine is the Production Director and EP for Call of Duty at Activison. He just celebrated 20 years there. I congratulated him and said he should celebrate by bringing back DMZ. He said "Thanks, Matt. That sounds like a good idea. Let me see what I can do..."
I just started playing Call of Duty last year in November and I've really enjoyed it. I think with the community that still exists for DMZ that they should keep it running. Give some updates and possibly even expand the size of von Dell seeing as you can look across the water and see a whole town over the bridge they need to make it bigger. That would be amazing, and really pacify all of us true.D m z fans.
I've always said poster in central station ( vondel ) were a indication that dmz back in 2025. They state Egyptian tour starts 2025. Just a strange date they used . My theory..
I'm inclined to agree that with DMZ still up and running, the odds are beginning to look favourable that DMZ 2.0 will be released, hopefully in stand alone mode. It would be excellent if mission completion and loadout were carried over, and they scrapped one shot shotguns, the under barrel glitch, lag hacking and under map glitches so we're left with a more equitable playing field.
DMZ keeps the game diverse. My pops and I Ioved special ops and survival so dmz brought him back and now he has a squad of old cod vets and I got left out 🤣🤣
I agree.. final is dead most of the time and when I play with randoms they never wanna challenge a team at final they rather just glitch out the lobby like some punks smh
@BadFishDMZ at the same time Kosch is the only thing to save me in certain situations as a solo on Al Marzah. I've had a sqaud that was going around hunting others target me near the end with snipers and relentless chasing, so I had no choice if I wanted to live. I even almost got killed last second
DMZ is IW's biggest mode since Warzone. It would surprise me that they let this one fall through the cracks, especially with other similar games, like Delta Force, being a hit. DMZ came first and it would be stupid not to continue it.
I’ve been a gamer forever but now only a casual with a daughter, going to school, and being a husband. I can only game so often. Don’t play enough to compete with all the sweats in WarZone so I fell in love with DMZ and thought it was really fun. I’ve taken breaks from it and getting back into it and currently am super into it and love it.
I for one will continue to play until someone tells me a can no longer. Some of my best memories of playing have been here and I discovered awesome streamers like Phixate because of it.
For me, I just don’t see Activision abandoning the extraction shooter genre. I kind of consider this to be similar to blackout. It was quite popular, but it didn’t quite hit how it needed to. Some time passed and we got wz. I truly think they’re going to come back with a vengeance at some point and have something much more fleshed out. If they’re smart, they will make it a completely separate game. Unique weapons, attachments and systems only found in DMZ. And no goofy skins. If they play their cards right, they could have them that would be insanely popular.
I absolutely loved DMZ, I even played it more than Warzone 2. It just had this amazing flow. It’s probably the only reason I’d buy the next Infinity Ward title.
DMZ is the best COD mode, I don’t care what anyone says. Dropping in with a squad, teaming up with other teams, looting and building gear, the thrill of running to final knowing you’re gonna have to fight another team or two, setting up an ambush in buildings around final. Most fun I have ever had on a COD game. And it’s the one mode you don’t have to be a sweat at to actually be good.
Yusss… can’t wait to see what events go on… loved the Halloween update from a year or two ago as well as storming and blowing open the mountain with the whole lobby… Would be awesome to see what they come up with next. As well as the story. Can only hope.
I think they are feeling a threat from this delta force game thats coming out. Dmz was fantastic, good days bad days but had some amazingly funny chats with players, i hope there is more with Dmz
I stopped playing altogether when they cancelled DMZ but absolutely loved the game. Would definitely pick up a controller again if it comes back. Loved the mission aspect to the game, and as a not very good player game me the opportunity to drop in and at least play rather than just get decimated in MP constantly.
Dmz will be the only reason I will return to COD. I love the excitement of getting out alive and finished the mission during PvP. Ain't nothing like it
When one, if not the greatest DMZ Story teller (Loochy) and one, if not greatest DMZ Tactical player (Phixate) joins together, then you know it will be a great treat! 👌 Great clip guys, hope that you will make further team-ups!😀
If I were part of that company I would still be releasing more chapters and there are still thousands of people who play the same way as DMZ and I am one more. Let's see GTA has time and is still releasing new chapters and believe me Ubisoft does not lose a single dollar on the packages
I never really got into dmz but I can say it’s a very good game to chill out and play with friends. It has a decent following for IW to keep updating but they don’t see the value in it. Hope for IW’s next game they bring back a new and improved dmz mode
I think a way to fix Koschei but still have it part of Al Mazrah is to have the entrances lock once the gas starts moving, so if you need to go into Koeschei you have to do it earlier in the raid, and once a team uses the entrance it locks (one time use per raid)
@Phixate you are also missing the fact that Infinity Ward, creators of DMZ, opened a NEW Studio in Austin, Tx, last November (2023) to work on 'innovative' new CoD experiences (and DMZ or PvEvP mode is new and innovative for CoD). This after they stated that they had learned all they could from this successful Beta and would take those learnings forward. Of course that doesn't necessarily guarantee that their new studio was set up specifically to make DMZ 2.0, but if you look at the 'success' of DMZ, the fact its still popular and still selling Bundles, it seems logical they created a Studio that can 'continue' with DMZ beyond the 'yearly' cycle of their mainline CoD. This year its Treyarchs year after Sledgehammer took over with MW3 from Infinity Ward and their DMZ year and MW2 release.
I honestly think they would need to do a different build for DMZ when compared to BR warzone though. The slower pace and move mechanics of MW2 work really well for this mode.
I hope they include dynamic weather in dmz 2.0 I would love random night maps… etc. I wish they would’ve put the haunting map in on permanent rotation… like a random occurrence
Another thing I think about is, I dk if DMZ can ever go back to what it was at first. We’ve been ALL PVP for too long now. I think if a COD player is on the game, PvP will always be the first priority.
I really hope Delta Force comes out swinging. It really is looking like a solid game. I’ll play it for sure, but I also want them to succeed so we can see competition. Increase the likelihood of DMZ 2.0
I’m an older gentleman (😂)- DMZ got me back into video games…I would really enjoy more DMZ.
I introduced my dad to it and he plays cod so much more now!
same here
I’m old too and DMz is the reason to play DMZ

DMZ was the only game mode that got me to spend money on skin bundles. If it comes back in the next IW game I am ALL IN.
GOTTA GET THEM FREE UAV’S
Same, if it wasn’t for DMZ I would have never bought the Classic Ghost skin for use across Warzone + DMZ
We need this to stay past BO6 and get support

If the rumors are true, DMZ should have it’s own game. Like WZ.

Don’t forget, I think original MW3 had a game mode where you fought bots bought weapon upgrades and supplies, kill streaks etc it was so fun

We still running DMZ finding all the notes now
Also, they may consider the fact that DMZ actually brings in some cash with players that like buying cosmetics. Spec OPS wouldn’t generate revenue.
Yea but let's hope they put some milsim operators in there.. the Cod store is starting to look like fortnite frfr it's lame
DMZ had a huge player base. So many questions not enough answers

I really hope it comes back,
Looks like you have been having so much more fun playing with some else,

Still remember fighting you in dmz when you solo queued you ended up joining another 3 stack and fought me and my buddies. Was a good fight 👍
Some hope finally. NICE
@Phixate you are also missing the fact that Infinity Ward, creators of DMZ, opened a NEW Studio in Austin, Tx, last November (2023) to work on 'innovative' new CoD experiences (and DMZ or PvEvP mode is new and innovative for CoD).

Of course that doesn't necessarily guarantee that their new studio was set up specifically to make DMZ 2.0, but if you look at the 'success' of DMZ, the fact its still popular and still selling Bundles, it seems logical they created a Studio that can 'continue' with DMZ beyond the 'yearly' cycle of their mainline CoD.

is there any way to play DMZ in only PvE format? I really enjoy the maps and guns, but cannot handle the PvP. thanks for any clues.
I love dmz and I really hope it makes a comeback!!
More Loochy and Phix please.
I'm fairly certain that MWZ also uses DMZ servers. So that might explain why they're still up.
Most of the files for MWZ were labeled "DMZ" anyway..
They need to make a standalone DMZ, or at least a dedicated team/release
I'd really like them to completely expand on DMZ. I Felt it was just meh to begin with. More hardcore
I hope they include dynamic weather in dmz 2.0
I would love random night maps… etc.
I wish they would’ve put the haunting map in on permanent rotation… like a random occurrence
I wanted night Al Maz as a option like B21.. but hell yea random rain in the day/or night would be lit.. the night map was a vibe
Another thing I think about is, I dk if DMZ can ever go back to what it was at first. We’ve been ALL PVP for too long now. I think if a COD player is on the game, PvP will always be the first priority.
I really hope Delta Force comes out swinging. It really is looking like a solid game. I’ll play it for sure, but I also want them to succeed so we can see competition. Increase the likelihood of DMZ 2.0
Why won’t my mic work in DMZ but will work in MW3, Plunder etc…. ? Help me out guys
