Eurogamer.net • • technology
Key Points:
- Infinity Ward is heavily investing in DMZ, the extraction shooter mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, aiming to make it a core part of the series with a focus on fast-paced combat and streamlined UI navigation.
- DMZ features a separate progression system with 70 levels, its own economy of cash and crafting materials, while sharing certain elements like weapon progression with other multiplayer modes.
- The DMZ map, Haijin, includes the largest number of AI enemies Infinity Ward has created, with a new deployment screen for mission selection and a tiered enemy aggression system including powerful Commander enemies.
- Players have a Forward Operating Base (FOB) as a home base where they can manage operators, customize weapons, craft items, accept missions, and interact with various game features, similar to bases in other extraction shooters.
- The FOB also includes vendors, leaderboards, and a bounty system, enhancing meta progression and providing a hub for players after each run; further details and updates are expected in upcoming blog posts.
