Removing the default parachute has turned DMZ into the opening scene of The Other Guys

Spent years jumping off buildings in DMZ knowing my parachute would be there. Apparently now I need to craft one, which is useful information to remember before leaving the 32nd floor.

Unfortunately, I remembered on the 21st.

Pressed the parachute button about 40 times like I was trying to skip YouTube ads. Nothing. Just me, £18,000 in loot and the rapidly approaching consequences of not reading the patch notes.

My teammate goes, “Aim for the bushes.”

Mate, we’re in a fucking car park.

The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson would’ve been proud. Spectating by the time the Foo Fighters chorus kicked in.

I did and then a few games later my buddy joined me and did the same thing was funny

Spare a thought for the lads who spent years terrorising everyone on Ashika Island aim botting.

The rest of us have moved on to MW4 DMZ, and they’re still underneath an apartment block clutching a semi-auto Lachmann-762 with a laser sight, waiting for someone with employment to walk past.

Now it’s just six blokes under the map, aimbots locked onto each other, reporting one another for cheating.

Imagine spending years perfecting the art of living inside concrete, only to discover your entire player base has moved on.

All those hours of training. All that dedication. Absolutely nowhere to go.

Enjoy the ranked basement league, gentlemen. You’ve finally found opponents of equal skill.

Update: they posted this! it is in fact a bug: https://x.com/CODUpdates/status/2113009469764317320

Casually lost 2 hours of making cash from this. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but it is very dumb.

I actually lost roughly 150k in total, as I changed my camo for the AK to a military camo, and noticed my money going down. I suspected it was the camo change since I didn't remember buying anything, so I decided to test it for real while recording.

You have options to choose between full ghillie but sacrifice some capacity or go full Death Stranding with shitload of bright yellow cargo on your back
Also ability to lying on our back and look around when prone make Ghilie suit play much better than MWII DMZ

Free weapons, armour and backpack without having gear FOMO

Day one, it’s completely fine. People don’t know where any of the missions are.

Day two, squad camping the roof waiting for the extract for the gurney, people waiting at the casino for people to go to it, people waiting near the power plant to catch people as they try to boat away

Having story missions be in live games is flawed

First of all, Infinity Ward, DMZ is a slam dunk. The tension, AI population, and world all feel great to be in and I’ve only done Free Roam solo.

Now for my story time…

I just completed an LT scan and I’m headed to collect the bounty. Trying to keep it smooth and silent, I realize that there’s a UAV tower that can give me a better understanding of the force I’m dealing with. Hit the UAV tower, pop a couple of heads (bang bang) but realize the error in my ways because now the spot is getting hot.

So I’m hunkered down on the second floor, letting the UAV ping go off and getting my bearings, until my UAV spots another player. Now, the game changes.

The player turns on his mic and of course calls out for me. I don’t respond. Then he turns on the UAV tower in the same building as me. Now I have a choice of either taking him out or going out separate ways.

He opens the door to the room I’m in, I spray him down, and as I’m about to finish him off, he says that he was looking for me so we could do the LT bounty together… I think it’s a coincidence and I agree.

Now we’re clearing floors with me taking point and we’re flowing through, smooth as shea butter, until an animation plays out behind me. “Sorry man” is the last thing I hear as the execution animation finishes and he kills me.

I just want to apologize because after that, I’m definitely not playing sweet with anyone.

Thats all. THAN YOU

I've seen a lot of people complain about camping extracts already, which tbf skill issue but also BRUTALLY annoying.

Here's my fix - different extract methods

Arc and marathon have a good combination of answers to this issue

Arc: raider hatches are silent, paid exfils that require resources and more forethought. Example: boat for 15k, train if you happen to see the "extraction train" role through, select sewer vents that require codes, your imagination is better than mine id love to hear cool examples.

Marathon: guarded exfils - heavily guarded to deter campers from ever setting up (kinda not really how it works in marathon but this is better in my eyes), silent exfils that require key cards that can ONLY be earned in match (on much much much smaller maps so this would have to be tweaked)

Would be cool to hear other peoples ideas

Mw4 dmz is one of the best game modes, there’s so much happening and it’s unpredictable. I do hate being hunted by other squads and am forced to defend myself and end up with a bounty

Having a blast with the new DMZ, really feel like IW nailed it here. There's a few things that need changing imo, some loot needs to be easier to find but overall it's fantastic.

Hajin is an absolute triumph, wasn't a massive fan of any of the maps after verdansk but this is top tier. The sheer depth of stuff to explore and find is incredible. Managed to find my way into the sewers earlier and a long tunnel which conveniently took me most of the way to extract in safety

I’m really enjoying the game so far. Have only run across a few players but this is good cuz I’m still trying to figure everything out.

I thought this would be more like the beta but it looks more like arc raiders. It will be interesting to see if the seats move in or it stays more like an exploration extraction game.

Use one of your operators as a pack mule. Put a backpack on him then load that up with keys or whatever you want and you'll save a ton of space

I got the stim blueprint off a random duffel bag in a closet, and literally 2 minutes later got the tempered blueprint off ANOTHER random duffel bag a couple buildings down. I’m afraid I’ve used up all my luck

I have so far found 2 Weapon Manuals.

The first one I found in a crate in a camp, the second one I found in a first aid kit in a clinic.
I have yet to find a single one in an actual vault like it says, but rather purely very rarely in random places. I found one for the Cronan Squall and the Han 86 (the Han 86 did nothing though because it is unlocked by default).

THE MANUALS DO NOT SHARE WITH YOUR TEAM, Only the one who exfils with it will get it.

The only think I dont like about the new dmz is the commander voice, I know it doesnt matter but I really loved the way the dmz beta commander sounded, it had the commander vibe. Everything else is amazing.
