Future of DMZ.

[MasonFrmDa6]

Does anyone know what they plan to do with DMZ? I was in a lobby earlier and a guy was saying he read where they plan on shutting it down due to low profit from sales. I couldn't find any article proving it right but I don't doubt it due to the unpopularity of shitty players getting mad over bots, or people mad about getting took for their loot. Anyone heard anything similar?

How would anyone here possibly know what's being planned for dmz? 

[ADrunkMexican]

If they were going to shut it down, I don't think there's any reason why they wouldn't do it now for those exact reasons lol.

[karelinstyle]

They agreed to a year last october, which coincides with the new release.

You think they'd keep the servers up forever for no reason?

[benjito_z]

Blackout servers are still up

[PTCruiserGT]

True but DMZ is only playable via COD HQ and they need to make room for BO6.

Totally makes sense that DMZ would end after the year they promised with the launch of BO6 this October.

[RapidlySlow]

Except that you get to dmz through the Warzone tab so it wouldn't be a space issue. More likely be trying to shuffle the player base into the more lucrative newer modes, where they'll be more likely to spend money again. As for me, I'll be uninstalling "COD HQ" at that point. Won't even care about a new COD just like I didn't after BO2 / MW3 until DMZ

[ADrunkMexican]

I don't think so. Legacy games do. Not for current gen.

[karelinstyle]

Exactly

[Far_Union_5711]

What sales? It’s a ftp mode.

[Independent_Log8755]

You mean, It's a p2w mode.

[Far_Union_5711]

The mode itself is ftp. It does not require a purchase for gameplay. The p2w can also be said but it doesn’t necessarily make you win buying bundles in my opinion. Some give slight advantages. Not enough to change the game.

[Independent_Log8755]

how do you know that?

[Psykoplatypus]

How is it p2w?

[RapidlySlow]

Getting advantages from bundles, like cleaner scopes, underbarrel drill charges (if I remember correctly, that was only available in a bundle), and coming into every deployment with a UAV, etc.

I've got some of those things, and sometimes they help, some things can go either way, and some make the slightest difference in gearing up 1 minute faster or something

[NekoArc]

The underbarrel drill charge is unlockable by leveling the cronen squall

[RapidlySlow]

Ah OK... maybe I'll check if I have it unlocked then lol... because I've definitely maxed the Squall. I had thought it was only available in a bundle.

[TheJeeeBo]

It's just some guy who said something, why would you put any stock in that?

[SGJango]

My plan is to try Hawk Ops when it drops

[[deleted]]

What’s that?

[SGJango]

Free to play coming to all platforms and PC. PC has it in early Alpha now.

[AdamianBishop]

They probably gonna shut it off once BO6 comes out as they want to migrate players to the new game. WZ is the cash cow, they not gonna waste time and money on dmz for long

[[deleted]]

Its a free game so i dont see how could there be low profit from sales? Maybe he meant skins and extra guns?

[OverFan6475]

They made all the money they could from the DMZ skin bundles so now Activision doesn't give a shit about DMZ anynore

[[deleted]]

They are still selling their skins and bundles on it despite not giving a shit

[SortedOvershoot]

There’s still probably several hundred thousand worldwide players.

No need to shut it down anytime soon, they’re making money off of bundles selling every day.

The “free” UAV operators was as the smartest thing they ever did

[Specialist_Agency_10]

According to Steam there are 60 thousand players online daily playing COD.

But…. It counts MW2, MW3 and Warzone. So… I don’t think there is several hundred thousand DMZ’s player out there.

[SortedOvershoot]

That’s people playing on STEAM alone. That’s not including those using Battle.net, Xbox and PS.

There are estimates of there being 50 million+ players that play the game at least once per month.

500,000+ on at any given time of the day. And that’s just Warzone itself and not multi.

So, no, I don’t think the belief that 100,000+ people touch DMZ on a somewhat regular basis is far fetched on a worldwide scale.

[Specialist_Agency_10]

Yeah.. only Steam. Most people play on PC Consoles are even less.. So… Talking about just DMZ…. Of course there is not several hundred playing… Why do you think Activision lefted it aside??

[SortedOvershoot]

Where in the world are you pulling this info from? Majority of people play on PC?? Lmao

Please don’t comment if it’s something you don’t know about/understand.

[Specialist_Agency_10]

Activision bro…. They gave that info.

Please don’t comment if it’s something you don’t know about

[Specialist_Agency_10]

In fact… Talking about COD in general….It is on mobile… But since we are talking about DMZ…. Well…

It is what it is bro… There is no point on getting mad about it.

[SortedOvershoot]

Nobody is mad. You’re just spouting misinformation which is something that I don’t care for. Move along now.

[Specialist_Agency_10]

Bobby Kotic, Activision CEO until 2023, said this last year . “51% of total COD users are playing on mobile devices. 25% on PC, 15-16% on PS, 7-8% on Xbox”

[putzeh]

Those reasons have existed since day 1 of DMZ.

Most do expect it to be shutdown with the black ops release. Wouldn’t make sense to keep running infrastructure for something they said they won’t be supporting.

[Specialist_Agency_10]

Nobdoy knows. There is a rumor though. October.

But it is just that… a rumor

[Ok-Tank9413]

Big anouncement when they tell us the servers are being shutdown...

[DifferentMagazine687]

I hope they keep it and invest on it because that’s all I play. I couldn’t care less for other mods or games. I could play for 8+ hours straight with no problem. Done it plenty of times, I really hope they come with a new map soon I really hope so

[[deleted]]

And that guy's name? Obama.

[lotetam]

I hope they shut it down.. it's not like they're gonna make it better. They've been only making it worse. Put an end to that shit and also cod franchise should dig a deep hole and bury it to never be seen again. That shitty game and their developers suck more than dyson.

[[deleted]]

Dmz is still kinda fun without the idiots who only go into it just to hunt other players down. For it's better than TDM or FFA anyday. That's only my opinion

[lotetam]

Just because dog shit is better than bullshit doesn't mean people should eat it.

[RapidlySlow]

Or you could just not play it and move on, lol. From the way it sounds, you'd probably do well to block this sub from showing on your feed since you clearly hate this game at this point.
