MW2 "DMZ" ULTIMATE BEGINNERS GUIDE: EVERYTHING EXPLAINED! (How To Play DMZ)

[@Slostang94]

DMZ is so fun to me had a glitch last night where none of the exfils worked before the last one and 2 guys passed us in a truck let us hop it and we escaped together. And made new friends we escaped with 10 seconds left

[@ElleHasAGock]

That's crazy, someone pulled up on me in final exfil and I told him we wouldn't kill him but he had the m13b so I snapped his neck the second we left the ground.

[@MenaceMarciano9]

Damn bro !!! Same experience!!! With 5 secs to spare I couldn't believe we made it , its still mind blowing ! I needed a fiya smoking intermission after that one 🤣

[@Davidinostroza-ks5yq]

mate on a match we where very far away from the last exfil, we had a helicopter near so i took it, one partner didnt hop in the helicopter so we had to go asap...then we barely made it to the last exfil, my partner fucked up and got downed, i had to kill a couple bots in order to save him, and we could get out just in the last 3 seconds...man i love this game mode XD

DMZ is probably the best addition to COD yet. Infinity Ward on a hot streak latley

[@VOX_Games]

I almost solo extracted the weapon case, juggernaut was on the round observatory, so it was easy to avoid being shot by just headshotting and running, the minigun can't fire in time. Then at the exfill like 20 armored AI showed up and melted me, it was heartbreaking...finding keys and going after those is great...so much to do in this mode, not to mention you're constantly leveling up, it's great...now if they'd just fix the ttk and other small issues in Warzone.

[@kriskater]

What do you think of yhe ttk in warzone ? Too quick or too slow ?

[@Shep2345]

Just FYI they have patched the chemist ‘hit and run’ with a vehicle method. Cars can no longer get close to him as they activate a DDOS that disables them. I learnt the hard way! 😅

[@krazykillar4794]

So I played my first game Earlier and I was blown away . I love it , DMZ is going

[@SoutherRebelDoUFunDu]

Heres my input; for DMZ have it to where players can only kill other players if they have an active hunt contract; and or an actual mission selected where they need operator kills. Exp.... Kill operators with a Lachman class weapon 50 meters away or kill 8 operators will headshots with a lockwood. Once missions are complete they are removed from selection screen automatically. That would make PvP run ins even more mysterious but lesser consequential in the overall scheme of things.

[@Shabegh.]

Thank u sooo much this was super helpful!

[@ChosenHawk64608]

So Tarkov but easy. I like it

[@skullgittorocks3727]

Maybe you have mentioned this before but how can you tell who are the players and who are the AI in the map? Do you have to kill both of them or can you just ignore the AI and go after the players?

[@hootieandyblowfish2013]

now it makes sense

[@glug307]

God loves you guys!!

[@nolyinitsryan846]

What operator are you using?

[@BonzerMrT]

I’ve played 3 games so far and absolutely have no clue wtf I’m supposed to be doing? It’s been nothing but getting shot at by 100 AI. I’m confused on what the objective is?

[@freeman_-]

A tip for solos: Run your insured weapon with a suppressor as AI will take longer to become alerted to you. I personally run a suppressed Lynx so I can keep distance from both AI and people minimizing the danger.

[@MyCatFooed]

I favor sniping from a good distance .. :)

[@theodorebear6714]

Smart. I use a suppressor too but I like to get in close for the vicious cqc. Absolutely outrageous if you use something like the pp19 (minibak in the game) or an lmg.

[@staffsaber534]

Really important that in DMZ you don't start random gunfights if you have an objective. I've had so many good runs ruined by squad mates shooting enemies that haven't seen them yet and all of a sudden I'm fighting the Battle of The Bulge trying to keep my squad alive instead of completing the job we were headed to do.

No kidding, I've literally went to solo game play just because players would shoot anything that moved while trying for a simple secure Intel objective.

That’s a great comparison. I have a friend who isn’t sold on the game yet but we used to play the division and we loved that. I’m definitely going to compare DMZ to it and hopefully get him on board

@Old Gamer I loved playing vigor. Dmz reminds me of it and it is amazing

[@snowfan0521]

Would be great if they made it where the stowed backpacks, chest rigs, and stronghold keys got stored like the contraband weapons do. Something like tarkov does, that way of you get wiped you have extra to start another round with.

Full blown addicted to the DMZ...almost every move is crucial...not only do you have your random everyday sweats running around spoiling exfils but it's full of freaking Terminators...they don't miss and had a mob chase my squad for over 100 meters...if you've never played it, you've been warned

11:25 BIG UPDATE. Vehicles no longer work in the radiation zone. This no longer works.

[@kyubihakegaru4433]

DMZ can be very punishing on solo play, reckless play, greedy play, and SUPER VERY punishing to very new players. You either learn quick within the day or two, days, weeks, or a month. AI is obviously no joke and not to be trifled with.

[@theredguy8746]

I feel like the people that are saying that the AI are no big deal are the ones that always play with a squad and haven't played solo for hours straight. There really needs to be a solo mode that has less AI and you can't squad up with other people because that would obviously ruin the point of it being solo.

[@friendlyfire2374]

@@theredguy8746 I play with a squad and we get destroyed(Because my teammates are brain dead children.) armor is very scarce so I feel I’m the only one that plays carefully

@@theredguy8746 they can be a big deal no matter if you have a squad or not...once their choppers land and they start throwing smoke grenades ya'll better have a plan

[@LordofRacoons]

@@theredguy8746 I go in solo all the time, if you keep near cover and always make sure you have an exit plan the bots can be dealt with. I even clear strongholds on my own you just have to have a few self revives and a good stock of armor plates. I do a few stealth runs where I avoid fights completely to get geared up then I take the fight to the bots and sometimes even other players. I also play in a squad with my brothers and sometimes that's strangely harder because you often get killed trying to revive people and it's harder to stay stealthy.

[@tarraturner670]

That it is, I can usually exfil but I have issues sometimes when I pull up to an area where there's tons of AI or a team trying to leave as well. Sucks playing alone.

[@usernamenotavailable4072]

I wish the cash when you exfil didn't just turn into xp. I'm lvl 72 what do I need xp for I would rather have some kind of market to buy things and have a "hideout" or something to level up or have any kind of progression. There isn't any risk to playing

I played my first DMZ last night and I felt I was holding the players I was with back as I didn't even know what I was doing, this really helped me out on what I should be doing as a noob to DMZ mode

[@Derethevil]

The one thing i would wish a lot for is to either have the option to purely player against the AI with friends or to at least have an option for others to make it harder to kill you if you try to be "nice". Of course being "nice" in CoD is next to impossible. Same as it was in Sea of Thieves. People be snakes all the time. But still i can dream, ey? I am not good but also not terrible in PvP. I can take out players if i wanted to but i usually try to avoid them. Mostly only kill the other player if he shoots at me first. Otherwise i let you do whatever you want as long as you don't bother me either. Hell i even had a player asking me to help out over proximity voicechat to get his objective done for the SAM site which i gladly did. Only thing i asked for is to not shoot me in my back if i leave. Obviously most of the time though you can not talk to anyone. Neither in chat nor proximity VC. You can not even trust your random teammates all the time. Sadly the CoD community always was and will be very toxic.

[@MyCatFooed]

I hear what you're saying @ ppl --- But I always keep trying, cuz when you can be a friendly with another squad = pure magic!! :)

[@kevinphanhvilay8552]

Last night I had a team come up and said they were friendly and want it to exfil with us. I said sure and they hoped on. As soon as they hoped on they shot and killed us. Lost everything. Raged quit.

[@Bikeguy199]

Gonna need a updated version in the weapons case and chemist as they both carry ddos devices now to disable nearby vehicles.

Probably a good strategy to squad up would be to have a 2 man team go for the case while your 3rd is at the nearest extraction already to save time
