DMZ is a wild extraction shooter inside the living world of Modern Warfare 4 | hands-on review


DMZ is Infinity Ward’s new extraction shooter, a living world with unpredictable enemy encounters, built into the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

I had a chance to play it at Infinity Ward’s headquarters in Los Angeles and in each round it felt like I was entering a dangerous world of DMZ’s Hajin exclusion zone, where I felt the pressing need to fight, loot and run for the exit. I haven’t been drawn to a lot of extraction games, except ARC Raiders. And this extraction mode has a lot going for it.

While many such open world maps have been disappointing, this extraction game is fun. It’s like Forrest Gump’s life being a box of chocolates. “You never know what you’re going to get.” The dynamic world of DMZ is full of enemies who appear in different places, even at the gas stations where you have to gas up your stolen vehicle. There’s shifting weather, from sunny days to sideways rain. And you’re motivated to fulfill contracts and take risks inside the DMZ to boost your progression from match to match.

Early access to DMZ begins today, after the single-player launch last Friday. On the October 23, multiplayer starts.

But if you get greedy, and try to go for a well-protected place for loot, or try to spend time on one more contract before you extract, you may run into a rude surprise, like I did on a run in the video above with Cecot and my co-op partner Ned Jordan of The Gaming Temple.
