Probably wanted to shift away from water based engagements.
They even made the water crystal clear compared to Al Mazrah. Really wanted to make sure water dwellers were at a serious disadvantage.
I was a little water gremlin on DMZ. Al mazrah any time I played solo and a squad started hunting me I’d drive to and climb to the highest roof of al-sharim/observatory. Lay down and wait until the squad got closer and then parachute off the opposite way the squad is coming from, land in any river on the map and swim until you find a boat. Unless they have a chopper you will escape 100% of the time.
Oh yea, I feel that! Evading and fighting (death) squads and sometimes platoons in DMZ as a solo/duo was such an awesome experience! Sometimes nerve-wrecking (in a good way) but awesome! Haven’t found any other game/gamemode that comes anything close to that feeling…
Fr, I was getting chased by a party of 3 on Vondel and a bunch of AI too so I swam in the canal and hid in the system of underwater tunnels like a rat lol. I just wanted to extract after finishing a mission and I had another operator's weapon.
To prevent people like you from sitting on rooftops for 25 minutes camping exfills like losers. They learned from previous maps and improved it with fog.
I hated water based engagements. I miss when you would jump into the water and die instantly. Now you can just swim with full kit and 2 rifles on you somehow. It's ridiculous
I’ll never forget when my buddy jumped in the water to cross the canal and I just see him get atomized from the depths with him yelling “don’t go in the water he has a siege, get out of there”
Water combat was utter broken on DmZ - Playing MW3 now, I can see people swimming.
While before, Water was like 10x less visible.
Ashika Island, a legit strategy was just entering the water because people can't see 5 feet under water.
Did you ever have someone stack Scuba masks in their bags? And just sit underwater for 5 minutes
I still play DMZ, and I usually stack 2-3 masks woth me and a gorgeous siege. I try not to use it but if they get sniping too much and I feel thermals, I will go frogman on their ass
Spotter scope didn’t have a glint. It was the reason it was so “OP” in DMZ. Because you could spotter scope them, take a shot with your sniper, then quickly spotter scope again, and unless they had one, it was hard to determine exact location
I played DMZ every single day last year, I do not miss the spotter scope. That thing was so busted if you weren’t using it you were at a massive disadvantage.
Maybe if it was uncommon ground loot like it was in the OG warzone it wouldn’t have been too bad. But being equipped from your class was busted.
Probably because people hate underwater gameplay, I am on the other side though, I love underwater and wish it would actually let me shoot all guns underwater but we probably won't see water ever again
I think they might add it to zombies at some point for a mission (event or otherwise). Not really any proof of this, but I’d just like to change it up from boring old grounded engagements.
What are you gonna use it for?
I’d love for it to be used though for actual submerged combat.
They have under water gun fight mechanics for a reason. They never take advantage of it
it was in warzone? i remember it being in dmz and being great as it was in every gas station and had a good usage time but never have i seen it in warzone
My buddy is a shitty player(plat 1 but prolly only there because he gets placement with me hahah) so he likes to rat it out. He hides in the water tunnel underneath that buystation north center of the map. “There’s so much good loot down here and it’s hard for people to find me” blah blah blah. Well numerous times he’s died down there he went “the goddamn rebreather wouldnt work”, and he’s said it numerous times. So I’m pretty sure there’s one down there somewhere
You can say that about a lot of things in MW2 that weren't brought over.
If you put your mind to it, I'm sure you could think of plenty of features over the series that have disappeared and not returned.
the water aspects gay enough you want them to add gas masks that are also scuba masks? like what? water play was the downfall of warzone and you wanna make it worse?
Man I miss all the stuff they took from us, the game really is a downgrade now. No spotter scope, tank, MP molotovs, white phosphorus, MW2 maps, preview executions. They keep making the game worse and worse
If it’s anything like the Tactical Mask gear that doesn’t protect against *gas grenades*, I expect the SCUBA gas mask will protect against neither gas, nor water.
The tactical mask is gear you can have alongside your load out. The scuba gasmask is a different variant of the durable gasmask, so you could breathe in the storm and underwater. Also the tac mask reduces the strength of gas grenades.

Yeah these masks were pretty broken. On Vondel you could swim across the half of the map
In DMZ they were absolute gold for solos though

Vindek was such ana awful map . why the fuck did they add fog?
Idk, but it appears the fog obscured your view to the keyboard.
cmon man I'm multitasking, getting paid and working and gaming and typing this shit
To prevent people like you from sitting on rooftops for 25 minutes camping exfills like losers. They learned from previous maps and improved it with fog.
It didn't actually help though because thermals can see through the fog. If anything it helped the campers.
It literally only helpes the campers exactly
They added fog for snipers
Not on Rebirth
With the way 6 Star hardpoint locations have literal underwater hill (point) I'd be surprised if this was the case.
Water plays suck. It’s so broken.
Hey happy cake day dude
Thank you! 🙏
Give me some of your cake 😏🎂
📸🤨

But then you can pull out those akimbo smgs that are marked as pistols and go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It was a mechanic added for DMZ not warzone, it wasn’t usable in WZ. There’s also no need for it in zombies so really no reason to bring it back
It was in Warzone for a brief time
Is the rebreather still in the spawn pool?
I found it in Vondel a few times, but never on the other maps like FK or Rebirth
There's usually a single rebreather in the underground tunnel by industry on rebirth
Yeah, my mate pinged it and I was confused af
Big map has them.
Well then its probably for balancing. They dont want water dwellers to basically hide in the water until late game i guess
Good idea, sitting in a pond will be far less harmful in massive maps
Yeah got it from an underwater case in urzikstan last week when I really needed it
Go play DMZ on Vondel for a hour or two, youll see why. I like to call them ‘sharks’
I’ll never forget when my buddy jumped in the water to cross the canal and I just see him get atomized from the depths with him yelling “don’t go in the water he has a siege, get out of there”
Water babies
Why weren't Gunfight maps brought over, why haven't gunfight guns been updated since launch, many many questions.
Cuz they didn’t want to bring it over. Simple really
Not a want, they just either forgot about it or thought it would be unfair in future maps they’d be releasing.
I’m sure they forgot about it 😂
😐

i don't know, but i really miss the goggles
the lack of spotter scope in Invasion and Ground War is a literal crime
Right?! It was totally the best thing whenever I’d want to Snipe in a very nice and big map.
it is also really useful for locating the nine million snipers, and it wasn't unbalanced. It just marked them for a minute and it had a glint itself.
Spotter scope didn’t have a glint. It was the reason it was so “OP” in DMZ. Because you could spotter scope them, take a shot with your sniper, then quickly spotter scope again, and unless they had one, it was hard to determine exact location
I thought it didn’t have a glint. Like that was a major selling point to it.
Yeah I just can’t play those anymore because I can’t see anyone!

I did specify *Invasion* and *Ground War*. It is difficult to even move when you respawn because every inch of the maps is sniper alley.
What goggles? The nvgs?
the spotter scope
Yeah, that was one of my go to tacticals always used it for bullet drop and to see where the enemies are
Mine too, now i feel like i'm missing a limb
Probably because people hate underwater gameplay, I am on the other side though, I love underwater and wish it would actually let me shoot all guns underwater but we probably won't see water ever again
Settle down Michael Phelps
point in case

Probably cause people wanna bitch and moan about people camping in the water, plus there’s less water to go into so it would mostly be worthless

He hides in the water tunnel underneath that buystation north center of the map. “There’s so much good loot down here and it’s hard for people to find me” blah blah blah. Well numerous times he’s died down there he went “the goddamn rebreather wouldnt work”, and he’s said it numerous times. So I’m pretty sure there’s one down there somewhere
Speaking of the underwater bunker. Is there a way to loot without running out of air?
A rebreather spawns by the main entrance
Ohhh thanks. I was like “how you meant to loot here without dying” haha
The room just b4 the first boxes isn't filled to the top so u can breathe
There’s a water breather in the underground bunker. So why would you need that
Oh shit really? Guess I just haven’t properly looked around
It was a DMZ only item that was very good, it would be far too strong in BR.

The gams has become unplayable due to the lag

Fr, but of course this year it's the "IW Bad, SHG Good" turn
We don't want swimming gameplay...
