Some Call Of Duty Warzone 2 Players Think The Game Could Do More With Dmz Missions

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is a sequel to the original Warzone and went live roughly three weeks after the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. As with the first, Warzone 2 is built around the chaotic, 150-player battle royale while Infinity Ward traded the Eastern European city of Verdansk for the Middle Eastern-influenced region of Al Mazrah. Players have additional modes, such as team-focused modes and the aforementioned DMZ, to offer a break or twist on the traditional, last man-standing-style gameplay of the main battle royale mode.

While the initial response to DMZ’s addition to Warzone was welcome from the game’s community, players have become more vocal about some of their consistent issues with the PvPvE mode. One such criticism has been the strength of the mode’s bots, which some players argue can sometime rival hackers, and there have been repeated requests to nerf them. However, a bigger issue among players, highlighted by Reddit user Howie_M on the Warzone subreddit, is how “pointless” the DMZ missions can feel.

The missions, in concept, are meant to promote synergy by making DMZ an avenue to earn rewards usable in standard Warzone and Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer. Players can pick up these missions from one of three factions occupying Al Mazrah, each of which offers rewards that become usable outside of DMZ if players can successfully escape with their loot. However, it is the grind of some of these missions which appears to be wearing on players as they feel the objectives can be too simple, meticulous, and repetitive for the potential rewards.

It then becomes a question of what Infinity Ward could do to address player complaints about the current structure of DMZ missions and make them feel more worthwhile. A benefit for the studio is the freedom working within the Warzone sandbox could provide them, given the overall size of the Al Mazrah map and the flexibility both player freedom and the in-game factions could provide. It would likely take some time for these changes to appear in-game but could be the proverbial “shot-in-the-arm” some players are looking for in DMZ.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
