Is DMZ Actually Coming Back?

[@Phixate]

"Fun Detected" at Final EXFIL ...

[@Deadlyce]

If a teammates body is glitched like that all you have to do is have any players still alive move back 30 metres and then when you go to the body it is fixed ... not 100% sure on the distance required as it's been a few weeks since I did it but it definitely works

I 100% want DMZ back as a stand alone game. I DON'T CARE ABOUT BATTLE ROYALE OR WARZONE. I really don't much care about non infinity ward games honestly. I don't care about Black ops. I don't care about battle royale players. I know people like that new delta force but it seems different without big maps and vehicles and the race to final extraction.

[@theALMIGHTYYY]

Same here

[@BobaTheFett_zak]

i really wish someone would just rip off all of the ideas that were in dmz. Like Delta Force has so many things from DMZ and perfected many of them, but the things it didn't take from DMZ like fighting over the final extraction helo makes me really miss dmz.

@@Pharaoh_The_Great no, reason why it survive it's because it's own charm that keeps peoples not only stay, but even come to it more even after it's being abandon!! You say there's nothing about DMZ?? Then what WZ have?? Does WZ getting any new players overtime?? Hating as your will, you cannot deny the fact that DMZ and it's contents, the night mode, the maps and the Nuke challenge from MW2 is what bring so much new players come to the franchise in the time it's active!!

I came back to DMZ for the first time since 2023 and I've been having a blast this last week, hope to see you out there in al maz

[@christinaholloway1247]

Literally just explained the pain of the zombies community. I know it would probably never happen but I would love to see standalone games for both DMZ and Zombies, instead of being an after thought to MP, Campaign and BR.

[@justinholtman]

Preach!!!!!! Such a good idea have it even be paid dlc mwz and dmz I bet ppl would buy it.

literally announced today that they are moving Warzone to it's own .exe, there is TONS of info out there that points to a return under treyarch, not 2026.

@@nathansonnen9407 apparently these studios aren't keen on picking up each other's work. That can be for a number of different reasons. Developers can be particular. It does suck but it will only get better if more people learn to develop games.. I'm currently working on an rpg to tell the backstory to a novel I'm writing. When is done I'll try my hands in the Unreal engine.

I mean I just got my first ever 10x missions (Damascus) a few weeks ago. All solo runs, all crazy insane. I died tired to solo koschy 10 times but on the 6th a squad came into my area, otherwise so no players. So instead I did it on Ashika and Al maz. It wasn’t easy but it only took one attempt. Also I play sweaty as shit PvP all the time and love that too. This is why DMZ is all I play - we got it all in there.

[@Itadakimasu149km]

I always looked forward to playing DMZ after work. I was a "hard-core" solo player, never squad filled. But I always picked up other solos and joined chill squads regularly. I would pay full price for a stand-alone DMZ title.

[@PappaPangolin]

I met a premade 6+ man team last night in Almazrah. 2 had the under barrel glitch running too! I was solo and had no chance. By the time they caught up with me, the bots had me down to no plates. Very frustrating.

[@TheRealProdigy]

[@wispy-wizard47scottschara]

You the man phix....much respect I got back into gaming after a 20 year break. I was lost and then found you let's just say without you I'd been lost. I learned so so much from watching a year later..... well let's just say I'm not a bot now and can hold my own thanks to you and the phix fam I was trained by the best in the business. Muck thanks to all!!!!!

[@mbjlukas]

Grilling again when this video came out. Lol. I will wait 3 yrs. It takes me 3 yrs to master the maps. I still got lost in the water while in Kosh.

[@RetroNoIX]

DMZ needs to be its own game with its own team dedicated to it. I think that would be the only way to get me back into COD personally. But I hope the future of DMZ can one day be bright if not, then just done better by another company.

[@rajpanchoo3211]

dmz is a stand alone product and deserves the continued development for it's fan base ...it really has been a hoot and if it upsets the certain other format/variants of gameplay then it needs its own dev's and team to continue it's unique gameplay. A no brainer really.

[@VincentPeer]

I really would like DMZ to come back. If I knew it would get support even every 3 years, I’d come back. I absolutely LOVED that game mode.

[@Xelliz]

DMZ was the best mode ever released, as far as I am concerned. However, I will not be returning as it is obvious they don't give AF about DMZ and its players.

[@EL_Matatan_83]

Isn't dmz already separate from Warzone? They could just keep doing what they're doing now. All they have to do is add a new map and call it dmz w/o the beta label

[@ThunderCat-au.]

Hundo 🫡

[@baohoang4966]

good call

[@calebbowen7549]

A few changes would revive the game. Wipe missions and stuff sometimes. Fix the bugs. Tone down the bots. New map would be cool. Rebalance a few guns. Maybe a separate mode for the whining solos that has only solos lol.

[@brentblake1070]

If they could fix the exploits, they can just leave this map/game as is. I’d still play it for years. Plus these graphics are a generation better than MW3

[@BTN454]

Same here 👌

[@ZeroCool-1995]

If every 3 years it comes back I'll take it. Rumor mill has been crazy about DMZ lately.

[@csdcartel]

dmz is the best thing to happen to warzone.

[@TheRecon1a]

I would purchase DMZ separately if it had the support it needed. This video with prox chat is the reason DMZ was great. I know it could be toxic but the times like this where you're downed but the team picks you up that's boss

[@ImTheDutchy]

They should just make a free stand alone DMZ game

[@iddqdgodmode]

I think if the game had its own bigger map the same player count and AI to player ratio, no crossover weapon progression with mp/br. also having a real campaign storyline and adding in survival game-type elements like needing to eat and needing to drink or u get d-buffs.

[@BobaTheFett_zak]

it makes me so mad how they just didn't realize how special this game mode is and could be and i feel like so many of the Battle Royale players just never really tried it out enough. i met so many people in BR who told me that they never even tried DMZ.

[@HolyTemplar669]

I think Delta force captures the sweet spot between COD and Tarkov, fusing all the good stuff of all the games. And if they also improve the extraction mode further with player feedback, no other game will beat them.

[@rdpillsforall6884]

I’m thinking about trying it. I loved DMZ but I can’t stand the sweats of warzone. On the other hand Tarkov is too hard for me.

[@bows4031]

DF needs prox chat imo

[@EssenceOfTheVoid]

agreed! playing the playtest and i gotta say it really scratches the itch of COD and Tarkov itch at the same time

[@p1xelpusher]

DF is great to play but nowhere near as good to watch as DMZ.

[@LOL2YOU]

Problem with Delta Force is they need a waaaay bigger map. That multiple mini maps get stale.

[@marcoguarnieri6589]

DMZ needs to be a standalone title at this point

[@rick0130]

Dmz should be made a stand alone game n keep the original stuff as far as back pack and vest

[@EdwinTheIntern]

damn Phix, dont hurt them! But I agree. IF they bring it back, it needs full support and best as it's own game mode separate from WZ!

[@-Turner-]

"Do we want DMZ to come back" in short... YES

[@LUKAS_956]

2026 ? The whole world will play GTA 6 anyways

[@WhatOfFox]

Dmz is the best mode ever... hope he comes back ✅️ I prefer one DMZ all 3 years than no DMZ...

[@damirgegedrazenovic3969]

Activision has the ability to release DMZ as a separate mod--game, and maybe have just a similar map to BR, it does not have to have the same mechanic as warzone, like zombies...

[@iddqdgodmode]

With the advancement of AI in video games and voice communication with AI it could be conceivable that you could talk to and negotiate with AI on the map and or you could have an AI Squad that you would communicate directly with and they would communicate back to you in real time, in game... now that would be cool

[@ironpuma5804]

DMZ needed an economy, a reason to loot, a better backpack system for storing loot! The advantage COD has over other games is its actual gameplay! It needs to taylor the rest to more extraction looter layout and it would be a better game! I just dont think they will

[@BlackEagle352]

It's just too much work. The bosses want that quick ROI

[@jerrydesgranges8294]

Phixate, definitely miss the old DMZ myself. Even since modern warfare 3 come out, I have been mostly playing a few modes but heavily in the zombies mode more than the other modes. And I have been in the DMZ here recently been actually trying to unlock the jak aftermarket part for the lachnman shroud (3 shot burst to full auto) and trying to do my missions which is a pain in the butt to do these days. LMFAO.

[@animanaut]

since the anticheat does not work a little moderation in its current state would go a long way. somehow enough newbs seem to find their way into dmz, just did a weapon case in vondel with some billies. but they will not stick around if they get mrkd repeatedly by underbarrel glitchers and wall hackers. also, just last week two new exploits seem to have surfaced and without active support they will transform into new gameplay 'features'.

[@TraumaTeam115]

I loved dmz I had more fun playing that than any other game mode

[@Gylacro]

DMZ needs to come back because DMZ is actually MW2

[@markdyrness7283]

I'm a casual player and loved DMZ but since the end of it, I really don't play it. I've really enjoyed plunder quads... which has fulfilled my love for casual play and not left me with wanting to leave just yet. That's just my opinion. Love your content, and I continue to watch yours, so keep it up. Like I said before, I'm just a casual player that enjoys a less than fast pace hame but with challenges and rewards.

[@markdyrness7283]

[@timijai22]

If BR players are the reason DMZ wasn’t supported anymore, they can suck it

[@SanFrancisco312]

DMZ is the only game that it’s interesting if you remove griefers

[@HLXanthus]

I personally wish DMZ would be spun out into its own mode like Zombies that could live beyond its connection to Warzone. Love the mode but it's state right now is pretty bad. PS it doesn't keep me from playing it every day, currently working for serpentine since I finished all the missions!

[@paulsimmons5470]

It's very possible with the release of delta. Perhaps they finally figured out there is more people who want a good extraction game than they thought.😊

[@matthewrandall5475]

I've been playing COD since Call of Duty 2 in 2005. I remember when Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare came out. 🤯 DMZ is by far my favorite mode. I miss playing Team Deathmatch, Sabotage, S&D. I remember when COD launched the BR mode, and I was stoked. but DMZ is a much more active and personable experience.

[@Pitzy0]

The dinner's ready dude 😂

[@davisterisboss3387]

Ive played all the extractions out there (except delta force didnt get a key) and dmz being so casual was still my favorite out of them all. You would love a return and proper support.

[@BTN454]

If they would support the dmz for those 3 years which means balancing absurd weapons like one shot shotgun or banning cheaters, I would still be happy. I played cs 1.5 for years, dust2, aztec etc. and never bored of it years ago. At least they would give that minimum level of support to the game

[@craigmackie7556]

I was a hardcore multiplayer man all the way. when DMZ first came out my two buddies tried for about 6 months to make me play it and it was a No, No, No from me. After my first game multiplayer went out the window and I've never looked back. Warzone can go tickle a fat one. 🥰DMZ🥰

[@MostcallmeTim]

EFT & Delta Force are great alts, but DMZ still has the best in game extraction method. I love Helicopter Fights! 🚁

[@bradleykramer6541]

Could DMZ be a separate game outside of call of duty? I think it would cool as a stand alone away from COD.

I do miss DMZ a lot. But honestly, I back to your opinion. Playing it now feels like necrophilia. I don't want to wait for a hypothetical revive. I'll probably stick with my memories and go Delta Force.

[@zachchamblee4094]

I never played anything but DMZ, I HATE BATTLE ROYAL, that's for high school kids playing fortnite. I loved DMZ and the fact that there has been 2 more extraction games after DMZA AND TARKOV just shows you there is potential in the market. Nothing like losing it all and picking up an RPK and slaughtering a geared player and your back in the game
