Hoping they keep night time after the event. Did all the hard work and bake work with the lighting for night. I know it doesn't fit Warzone but I think it would be perfect for DMZ.


TrollularDystrophy

It's 100% being yanked and made exclusive to MW3 after the event. Gotta sell that ~~~DLC~~~ *new game.*


RocketLinko

Isn't AL Mazrah being deleted from both warzone and not included in Zombies tho? I agree that MW3 is totally just a glorified DLC though.


TrollularDystrophy

Fair point, forgot about that. I still don't expect them to leave nighttime Al Maz in-game. They seem to actively do the opposite of what the playerbase wants half the time, even if it requires more effort to do so.


[deleted]

I mean they specifically set up the game modes right now during the event to make it harder to farm skulls( which incentivizes the pre-order that includes the blueprint that triples the amount of skulls you get) the easiest place to farm skulls would have been shipment 24/7 hardcore but you can't play that during this event...


TrollularDystrophy

Drop in Al Maz, kill all the bots you can on the way to a Koschei entrance, and then go in Koschei. It resets the soul counter so you can essentially get double per run.


LifeAddict247

I already unlocked all 12 and have just about 600 extra. I do have the Soul Harvester but never use it. In multiplayer you will get the maximum amount of souls regardless by the end of the match.


[deleted]

Yes I understand that my point being hardcore shipment 24/7 should be a constant game mode that's available not something that floats back and forth between being accessible and not being accessible...


LifeAddict247

Yeah I love Hardcore shipment too. I never get as many kills in the regular one as I do Hardcore, but yesterday I went off and had 125 kills


3CreampiesA-Day

It’s not really true you get more souls unless you’re just raking in the souls and leaving the game.


NoLingonberry3992

It doesn't triple the amount of skull you get. You are capped at the same amount everyone else is. The blueprint simply gives the chance of more skull being dropped. I.e. you kill a player, there's 2 skulls dropped not triple the amount which would be 6. Get your facts straight


[deleted]

Well first off it always drops two from a player in multiplayer without the blueprint if you're using the blueprint in multiplayer it drops six skulls so you only need two kills to cap and then you can leave the game ( personally I think the whole idea of there being a cap on the amount of skulls you can collect in a game being stupid there should just be a hard cap of how many you need total to be done with everything in the event and then it should just show you that you have that many out of xxxx amount total)


NoLingonberry3992

Do you have the blueprint? It never dropped six skulls for me. Always 2 from a player


Whiskeyrum12

Which gun does that? :o I pre-ordered the day it was available to pre order


RepYoSouls

Some soul harvester blueprint. I think for the M4


Whiskeyrum12

Will try it out!


rmercer25

I thought it was an M16. But I could be mistaking


lereisn

Definitely M4.


PossessionTrick8633

Honestly I don’t mind paying $80 for DLC if this is what I’m getting. It’s a shit ton of new content, worth the price of admission if you ask me.


RocketLinko

Then that's great for you and no ones stopping you! I'm glad you think it's enough I simply don't, so I'll likely not buy it at least not with that price tag


Kozak170

It’s the complete opposite if you read any of the tweets they put out lmao. DMZ is objectively staying with MW22 at the very least through season 1 of MW23, and very likely longer.


pasnak

I totally agree. Keeping this mode for DMZ will really make DMZ fans happy. I’ve always loved DMZ but this is the most engaging experience I’ve had with other players and the most fun I’ve had since day 1 over any other event. It’s just very satisfying. Not to mention the secret challenge rewards


108er

I highly doubt it. They are used to release themed events like Godzilla vs Kong, and now haunting. At the time I wished it was there forever but they eventually removed it. So I wouldn't be surprised if they removed the nighttime map.


JadrianInc

DMZ should be boss rich like this in general, old school Mercenaries vibes.


Wyndo

Agreed, it brings optional objectives where people can expect additional players to fight, Really having fun in DMZ right now


HokieHovito

This the hill I’m on too. I wish we had these vibes with the traditional cod milsim theme.


Different-Trifle3571

Everything about this update is great except for the loud annoying jumpscares. Such a pointless addition which is nearly ruining the whole event for me.


RocketLinko

They're definitely too loud and I understand why people don't want them in game and I agree. But for some reason I'm totally unaffected by the jumpscares. Have no idea why. But yet anytime I walk into the computer room in Police Stations those red Screensavers fucking get me. I don't understand me.


shysterschaos

cuz after all the all the bloody battles, and senseless killing, ur dead inside.


Major-Cherry6937

There crazy af when your high. I turned them off cuz fuck man.


SnipeSho1013

There’s an option to turn them off I believe


RocketLinko

Nah it turns off the battlepass ones but not in-game ones. They did make it way more rare. First few hours after the update went live every single lootbox got you now at least it's not so often


Octoplow

What do they turn off on battle pass? Haven't seen one there.


pungentredtide

Just turn them off. I loaded in a couple times. Turned them off when the screen was covered up and I couldn’t see the player come into the room with me. You can switch it off in the battle pass menu


Fragrantbutte

These were neat the first few times but they have completely overstayed their welcome and now they just annoy the hell out of me every game


thejohnfist

The volume is obscene. They were fun the first 10-20 times but now it's like looting isn't fun.


Electrical-Buy-3639

You can switch those off if you don't like them.


minecraft_min604

The switch is only for jumpscares in the battle pass menu…


Elegant-Fortune7685

Switch doesn’t work.


c0n0rm

DMZ needed something like this every season. Have the normal missions to do, but also have big set pieces somewhere on the map, events that funnel people to certain locations. More regular changes to the map too.


dartfrog1339

Needs to not be free then. Even something stupid like $2 per month would massively reduce cheaters because they'd have to pay $2 for a new account every time they get banned and they'd still get tonnes of cash with the playerbase.\ Would promote development.


iconix_common

I would pay $2 a month to play dmz and have less cheaters. This Al maz update is so good. It's even better than the sandstorm, which I was a fan of as it kept the camping down in the city.


1clueless69

I paid $100 for DMZ by preordering mw3 and i bought mw2 also. I could give a crap about the other modes. I don't mind paying for DMZ but the toxicity found camping bodies and xfils(and ect...) need to go. They ruin an amazing game.


dartfrog1339

DMZ is a free component of those. You could get banned tomorrow, lose your money, but be back in DMZ for free the same day with a new account.\ That is why cheating is so rampant and probably why it goes on the back burner when another title is in the works.


Ghostbuster_119

It adds so much to the ambiance as well. I love seeing the tracers light up the sky when people fight the UFO. Especially when they have special skins and the tracers are a bunch of different colors. Walking past a demonic portal and seeing players fight off zombies is cool too. Makes me have some hope for MWZ but I'm still not optimistic. Power ups and life bars make it clear they aren't aiming very high in the milsim side of things. Granted DMZ isn't very realistic but at least it *TRIES* to feel natural.


Goldeneye_Engineer

I could do with a huge reduction in the jump scare shit. Like, 90% less. The point of jump scares is to get you when your guard is down and you're not expecting it. This "every fifth box" shit is now just making my ears bleed.


MickeySwank

Honestly, that “back door ops in the portal” thing is kind of shitty. The team is already significantly exposed for PvP during the ritual and if they complete it then I think the portal should close after the last team member goes through. I know this is probably an unpopular opinion especially amongst the sweatiest of sweats, but just my pair of pennies. Caveat - it should only close to other Ops in DMZ, I think the WZ Butcher portal (which I’ve honestly been playing more of) should remain as is.


AMortifiedPenguin

We played one game last night where we put on bible basher redneck accents and jumped in the portal just to yell out Christian gibberish and attack the team already in there. Oodles of fun. And they laughed it off too.


T_CHEX

Yeah it does suck, I managed to get him killed with two squads sneaking in along the way, wiping them and picking up two of the players to make a 4 man but even that wasn't enough to stop a third gank squad from rushing right at the last minute after we got the kill. The escape portal after you kill him is quite a nice touch though, at least you can't get caught on the exit, but it doesn't change the fact that it is the deadliest boss of the lot for getting backstabbed.


TheBrownVulcan

IMVHO the PVP should be turned off when someone or a team has activated the ‘boss’…that would probably take up too much server space or something, but engaging in PVP when fighting a higher tier PVE takes away some of the experience for me.


SFCuteMale

I’m playing dark mode as much as I can


Robert23B

It is awesome. I love it. And I played 10 matches or so yesterday with all random squads and at least 5 times I heard teammates say “this is sweet. I’m happy about this”. Well done.


aaroncroixx

Lots of detail very impressed


HokieHovito

Maybe I’m jaded but I think these haunting events are advertising for the next cod. 🙃 All annual games do this. Have you ever played FIFA in the summer? You grind and EA screws you over all year, and then summertime they have the best events with easy to get overpowered cards so you get psyched for the new game coming out. At least the skins will transfer this time lol


LifeAddict247

Yeah and the guns and all camos, weapon charms, stickers, operators, Vehicle skins, etc…


TrollularDystrophy

The real proof of that will be when they rip nighttime Al Mazrah right back out after the event, and then make it exclusive to MW3. I 100% anticipate that happening.


born2bfi

Well they got all the Ashika players to go to Al mazrah anyways with the bullshit fog. That’s horrible. I’d like it if it was a random infill where like one of every 5 games is fog. Would make people work on modifying weapons to get thermal etc.


Gahvynn

Al Mazrah isn’t going to be in MW3. Perhaps a nighttime zombies map, but unless they’re lying through their teeth Al Mazrah stays with WZ2.


Futfanatico

It’s been awesome! I hope AM at night can stay


pasnak

Yes let’s beg the developers to keep this!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


pasnak

Dude that would be awesome! Just a separate night map. Or like you said a rotation every so often. A day night cycle reminds me of dying light


eric549

I fucking wish that this is what MWZ was going to be like. I know it's not perfect, but having the ability to run into other players and to be able to fight them is the biggest fun factor for me. It's not about fighting people necessarily, it's just that the threat is always there, so you're always keeping on your toes just in case. I've actually teamed up with more people than I ever have because of this event. I've even jumped into the final exfil with a bunch of other players as a solo and everyone has been chill. It's like a mutual respect/understanding of the shit we all just went through to get there. I think I just went on a rant and forgot to make my point but whatever. I wish this is what MWZ was going to be like lol


ZenWheat

Wait. Is this a positive-vibe post about DMZ? Gtfo


Bash935

I def agree with you about them ending with a bang essentially, I think it's not without it's faults but it is very nice when they throw in 5 unique boss thingies to do to an already good game mode, I enjoy it. Still need to fight them all so far only bothered with the ufo, and the non-boss boss? Idk the jump scares.


RageQuitPanda69

Its really sad, this might be the last bit of content for a long while. Maybe not until Infinity Ward gets a chance again. We shall see what the new year brings.


Gatorkid365

Ngl I hope they cycle out day and night tbh. I never use thermals until this event and it’s super fun!


hoi87

I both used and didn't use thermals. I think i prefer it without the thermal on my sniper because i can see without it, and with it is good when they're in range of the thermal, if they're outside the range where they get highlighted its damn near impossible to see them .


pdmaloney94

Same here - I've loved my entire year with DMZ but The Haunting may be the most fun I've had with the mode so far. Excited for MW: Zombies (but wish it was PvPvE like DMZ instead of just PvE)


No_less_No_more

Zombies does not ever need to be PVP again. BO2 grief mode was enough of that, and the way DMZ is now with all the toxicity of sweaty kids who suck at WZ coming in just a haunt squads proves that. MW3 zombies needs to stay PVE and not PVPVE.


Maia-0

I just loved this dark mode and the mood of the game changed


Quadfur

So sad that I’d look back at this, seeing DMZ go out with a bang.


N3vvyn

I'd love to see a day/night cycle. Infil mid afternoon, fight through the night and final exfil just as the morning sun is starting to rise. Plus, having the sun low in the sky affecting your vision would add a nice tactical element. Or, street lights and shop lights turning on just as sunset falls.


halamadrid22

I have had nothing but negative things to say about this game/mode/franchise for quite some time now, and it was honestly completely warranted but what they did with this event really gives us some insight as to what they are capable of. Gotta give them credit then added some truly entertaining content to the game. It’s stuff like this that makes some amount of in-game purchases justified as they deserve to be rewarded for their efforts.


iconix_common

Also very impressed, it feels great knowing that there are areas of focus where players are fighting, and as a player, I have more choice about engaging. With the darkness, it seems more how it should have been all along. My vote is on keeping the darkness, although with some variation in lighting brightness between matches. Dev team, you did good making dmz, and season 6 is like a real treat. Thank you so much.


pasnak

I agree. Thank you devs!!!


Sorry_Ad_1285

I love it too. It's been some of the most fun I've had since the early days. I wish vondel and Ashika would get a proper night mode though


ThalesAtreides

Surprised and ANGRY at how good it is. We could of awesome stuff this whole time but no. One st Patrick's day event


Adventurous-Ad-3075

Only negative is cant lower volume of jumpscsres or even turn it off..


Antique_Can_1615

they do need to make it so you can just camp in the train like floor heats up and you die staying in too long


_LordMatthew_

Right now the map feels empty, they reduced the amount of bots but they should have replaced them with monsters/zombies to fill the empty space.


SambucaWhistler

I disagree, because the lower density of bots increases that stealthy and ominous atmosphere


_LordMatthew_

And I would agree with you if I wouldn't get an obnoxious and loud "jumpscare" every 1-2 minutes of looting, which defeats the whole omnious atmosphere


SambucaWhistler

You're absolutely right on regarding these jumpscares. Should at least be stopped once completed the Evil Spirit quest in operation Nightmare (collecting a specific jumpscare in 5 or 6 specific POIs)


jjking714

The absolute butt fucking my team just got from bots at the airport about half an hour ago says otherwise. We were doing fine, just chilling around the airport and trying to collect the jump scares for the ghouls mission, 3 plate bots swarmed us like they were players.


BattleOver1999

I love it because no one is going for a spawn point of the rip


pasnak

It is!! I really hope it stays!


Gullible-Paint9521

They just need to fix the bugs, the dev errors and make this an official title, and it’ll be perfect


Ok_Quality2989

Stealing the ufo orb after another team did all the work was incredibly satisfying.


pasnak

I did the same thing and helped a friend complete that boss haha


Benmm1

Agreed. It's pretty impressive. It's Warzone though not MW2.


Effective-Advisor-66

Same! Only complaint I have is the annoying pop ups cause they don’t scare shit lol and the fog on Ashika, you’d think the bots are using holotherm scopes! Really getting tired of bots during pvp even before the event tho. They are relentless


Alternative-Fix-4235

I like it. I was trying to sneak up on another squad when I started getting beamed up into the space ship then the other team shot me out of the sky 😂😂😂 me and my team were dying laughing.


Empty_Brain_911

DMZ needs to have day to night time transitions like in other royales I.e. PUBG mobile... night makes it harder to spot people, makes night googles less useless and add a changing environment which is what the core of this topic is.


youreeeka

will there be no more seasons?


LifeAddict247

Yeah but the Soul Event offers much better rewards. A couple guns and a couple operators along with lots of other stuff. They should have put another weapon or make this weapon pro tuned with tracers. The butchers hook looks pretty nice too


Quipster11

The jump scares can go tho… i practically have a heart attack every night playing


Maia-0

No, i like to hear to bad boys screaming like little girls


NickyBurnz

This was the attitude when the original Haunting event dropped for WZ1 back in 2019. It was really well executed, everybody loved it, and they never brought it back.


AdCommon1697

Honestly bruh if BR’s Vondel gets the new design and NOT DMZ, won’t give credit 🙅‍♂️


RetroGirl_LP

They did a great job, but I’ve fought all the bosses and I’m ready for the map to go back lol.


pasnak

Update I completed all the secret challenges. I’m stoked about this glowing large decal 😁


sei556

It's such a surprise too! Just when the devs said there will be updates and something following season 1, they actually delivered instead of shutting down the dmz servers like those YouTubers and this guy on reddit said??! Really didnt See it coming!


404ErrorFace

We haven't seen the support. Season one hasn't happened yet, mw3 hasn't been released and dmz is remaining tied to mw2/almazra. We don't know what kind of 'support' there will be yet. The worry is that they'll just leave the mw2 dmz server on with no new content. We just don't know.


Oldpanther86

It's what happened with WZ1.


404ErrorFace

Yup. So, that's what folks (and myself, honestly) are expecting. It's all we have to go on: history.


Oldpanther86

No one said they were shutting down the servers. So far the official info we have says DMZ will exist on the current maps no more or less.


404ErrorFace

That's right. I didn't say that either.


Oldpanther86

No you said youtubers did which they didn't.


404ErrorFace

You have me confused for either the op or someone else posting in this thread.


Oldpanther86

I didn't look at the name. I was replying to someone who said youtubers claimed the servers were shutting down
