I've got 2-3 people that prefer DMZ over normal. I enjoy both. We're in Tier 4 for all 3 factions. Normally helps once you get to ~Tier 3 to run with people who have the same missions as you do. Which they desperately need to figure out a way to adjust in group-fill matchmaking. Need to be able to setup missions AFTER you know what your trio will look like and have like 2 minutes to possibly change missions or loadouts
Really digging this iteration of Warzone. Also really happy I leveled up the dual pistols. Basically unbeatable in a close fight and easy to win 1vXs. Haven’t even stepped foot in a DMZ game because battle Royale is so fun.
they got nerfed a little bit in the mid-season update No-Stock MP5 4 lyfe Only thing I really hate about BR is that random teammates refuse to wait even 60 fucking seconds to be revived after losing their gulag. Hell people are quitting out these days in trios before they even attempt the fucking thing. I can't wait for Ranked BR in 2023 (hopefully early 2023 like season 2) and they have a "cooldown timer" for how long you have to give your team time to revive you before you can quit the game without having to wait 5-10 minutes to play again. I've had some luck in duos but Trios and Quads nah. Everyone on my team has quit within the first 10 minutes of the game.
Hopefully when you lose your gulag or die a 2nd time in the ranked BR mode they make you wait ~3-4 minutes before you can quit without getting a time-out penalty. APEX I think it gives your team 120 seconds-ish to grab your "banner" before you're officially "out" of the game and can quit without penalty. Once they pickup that banner though you have to spectate them til they either redeploy you at a beacon or they die. WZ needs something similar. I have no problem speed-running a safe cracker or a most wanted contract if I'm the only person alive in a trio or quad. I'd rather die attempting those than try to finish a game by myself with 75+ players still left
Solo queuing in this game is rough. I’ll play duos if the squad isn’t on because I can two piece teams a lot easier than getting run up on by a squad of three or four. I need to level the mp5. Been running a Fennec if I get bored of the jewelies.
I used solo's as an easy way to get a Raid "ticket". Not hard to find a room in the middle of the circle to lay down and watch something on TV/reddit/TMB until there are 20 people left and then finish. Raid was.... not really a raid imo. It was basically an hour long 3-man Coop Mission from story mode. Some really cool stuff in there as far as team-play puzzle type stuff. Just nothing like a traditional raid that people in the gaming community would expect because there's no "bosses". Definitely recommend trying it out and microphones are mandatory. Like legitimately cannot complete 2 parts of it without 3 people using mics at the same time. Excited for them to expand on it, because the end of the raid is definitely open ended for the upcoming one.
Did they buff the bots in DMZ yesterday? Holy shit lastnight I did two quick runs and they were ripping through my 3plate vest like nothing and they are like snipers with there Ak 74u. Just felt like I was constantly trying to find plates. One big thing I wish they would do is let you keep the inventory you exfil with, so if I go loot and find a extra 3plate vest let me store them, same with killstreaks, totally forgot I had a precision air strike stowed and boom gone. Gamer tag is : do cubbies on PlayStation if anyone wants to add me I play both warzone and DMZ.
I actually quite enjoy facing enemy squads on DMZ. Probably because I use the spotter scope to find them and get the upper hand on them, but still.
It blows my mind that people play CoD either on a TV or without a proper headset. Please tell me you play on a monitor.
lol. on a 65 inch tv. I’m super casual. and when I don’t have anyone to play with a headset isn’t really needed. rarely have any randos communicating on there. i will say the headset is pretty great though. can def hear way better. what would a monitor do that my tv can’t do?
Oh no……..just google it. Playing on a monitor is an exponentially better experience. It’s not even close.
yea I’m never gonna game on a monitor though. first, I’m not good enough and second that would require me to set up a completely separate space outside of my current setup that is unnecessary for me
Man the toxicity runs through my blood playing mw2 Knife, smoke, riot shield on my back on shipment 96 kills just now
you can play most mw2 game modes without a headset. Only one you need it for really is snd. Wz is another story
I agree you could casually play the MP mode on a big TV and no headset. Tryin to play Search and Warzone/DMZ a good headset and smaller/faster screen... I couldn't imagine going back to even just not having one of them.
TLAU Thoughts on current meta? Haven't had time to jump into WZ much, but I have time to play a few games of MW2, so which weapons should I concentrate on?
This site keeps pretty up to date with the hot WZ guns. I'm still rockin RPK and either the MP5 or Signal-50 depending on what game mode/who I'm playing with. https://www.wzranked.com/wz2/meta/guns Tac-56 feels a little lighter than RPK but also less ammo and doesn't seem like it hits quite as hard, but that could just be my perspective and not actual data. Kinda curious how the Kastov762 build on that site feels since it's "S-tier" but less commonly used than the Tac.
RPK and Fennec is meta in WZ generally speaking. Almost every streamer I watch going for nukes is using that combo.
Yeah fuck sitting in front of a monitor set up when I’m playing to just chill. I sit in front of a computer at work, wtf would I do that at home. I have a 5.1 surround sound setup with a 65’ television. When I’m not grinding camos or banners my K/D hovers around 2. Idt my game will improve that much more playing on a monitor.
I feel like the number of complete morons playing DMZ has multiplied by a ton since people got the game at Christmas. Just game after game playing with people who are fucking terrible
I feel like as I get into the Tier 4 DMZ missions the AI is way tougher than it used to be and I'm having less fun. The missions seem next to impossible without getting a team of 6. Anyhow, I play both WZ and DMZ with another buddy quite often. Send a DM with your gamertag or Activision ID and I'll add you.
Anyone have an issue where DMZ won’t let you bring in a load out? I keep running into it. Sometimes I fix it by quitting the game but others that doesn’t work. What’s the best way to fix it?
Up to 66 players (22 teams of 3 players) load into the warzone 2 map. Each player selects missions in the lobby and can accomplish those tasks here. There are also contracts to complete while on the map as well. You do fight AI, but you can also fight other players. Essentially, PvPvE
Mmmm thank you. I’m trying to snag the M13 from The Chemist but can’t bring myself to play DMZ. This is good to know.
It used to be that if your friend had an M13 and gave you theirs while in DMZ, then you exfil with it, you unlock the gun. Not sure if that’s still the case
I think some of it has to do with the higher tier missions sending you into places that have the tougher AI. The mall, Al Sharim Pass, Bagra Fortress, and Airport just have so many of the blue heavy guys. And they tend to give those guys M4s or LMGs
Is it too much to ask to have a permanent Shoot the Ship playlist? Why go back and forth from Shoot house and Shipment?
Man those Season 2 changes notes are so great. Pretty much everything that everyone has complained about is getting fixed... footstep audio fixes (apparently office supplies like rags, trash cans and staplers blocked sound as if they were a giant structure) 1v1 gulag back. cash bonus to the player who wins to help get back going. ARs/SMGs added as primaries and shotguns removed. Respawn with gulag guns. Cash on the ground in gulag All loot is on the ground - goes for the duffel bags/wall med kits instead of having to navigate the pop up windows. Dead players explode out all their shit instead of having to loot backpacks fucking huge win. Standard small backpacks only so people can't stack 5 self revives or kill streaks Standard 3-plate vest for everyone Loadout drops at 1st and 5th circles again Custom Perk Packages are back Faster movement while plating No details on gun balancing but I'm assuming we get an RPK and Fennec nerf. Personally have zero problems with the TTK in the game but there's no changes to that coming. At this point all the neckbeard complaints on reddit are going to be "TTK still too fast, movement speed too slow, can't slide cancel and reload cancel still" and I hope they never change any of these. Those people can go play APEX
like it more than the rpk. hopefully it doesn't get nerfed too since it picked up a lot of popularity the past few weeks
WTF is this bullshit with having to reinstall the game now. I had the update downloaded and came home to see what the hype was and now it says I need to redownload everything. To top this off I bought the physical game hoping to avoid this sort of horseshit. So if you buy the CD does that not even matter anymore?
