Activision heeft officieel aangekondigd dat, hoewel spelers nog steeds de DMZ-spelmodus kunnen spelen in de nieuwste versie van Call of Duty: Warzone, de modus in feite wordt afgesneden van de rest van het spel met de lancering van Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Seizoen 1.
Hoewel spelers nog steeds toegang hebben tot DMZ via het Call of Duty: Warzone-gedeelte van COD HQ, zal de modus in feite niet beschikbaar zijn via Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Dit betekent ook dat de DMZ-modus geen invloed zal hebben op enige voortgang voor Modern Warfare 3 en Warzone in de toekomst, inclusief Battle Pass en winkelbundels.
Dit betekent in feite ook dat er geen nieuwe inhoud naar de DMZ-modus zal komen, aangezien het erop lijkt dat Activision zich wil concentreren op het toepassen van wat het heeft geleerd bij het ontwikkelen van de modus op het kernspel. Bekijk de volledige verklaring hieronder.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 begint zijn eerste seizoen op 6 december en krijgt een nieuwe Battle Pass, Aftermarket Parts en nieuwe multiplayer-kaarten.
Activision’s statement on DMZ:
We would like to thank the entire community for their support and continued feedback on the DMZ Beta. Infinity Ward and all the development teams who contributed to the creation of DMZ are incredibly proud and delighted to see the enthusiasm and participation that you’ve shown since its release, and to see so many players pouring into the MWZ mode in Modern Warfare III, which has many DMZ-inspired gameplay aspects within it.
Beginning with next week’s launch of Season 1, DMZ Beta players can continue the mode via the Call of Duty: Warzone section of COD HQ. The DMZ Beta will remain fully playable across all current DMZ content, including Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, the Koschei Complex, Building 21, Vondel, as well as all DMZ missions. The mode will not be available or interact directly within Modern Warfare III or Call of Duty: Warzone which means that progression and any new Modern Warfare III or Warzone content, including Battle Pass or store bundles, will not sync or carry back into this DMZ mode. Also, DMZ progress will not apply to new Battle Passes beginning with Season 1.
We recognize that not having cross progression with Modern Warfare III and Warzone may be frustrating for some players, but we felt now was the time to take all the learnings from the Beta that we could apply toward future development efforts as we evolve this style of play. We also know that many players still enjoy the mode and wanted to ensure that everybody can keep playing, which is why we are keeping a variety of content available.
Going forward, development teams will continue to evolve these dynamic open world experiences into the future. We look forward to sharing updates when ready.
