Yesterday, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4‘s new extraction mode, DMZ, launched a few days “early” for players who digitally pre-ordered the military shooter. And a heads-up for folks who love dogs and might be planning to check out DMZ: The intro mission is going to be rough.
Modern Warfare 4′s new DMZ mode is basically a full-fledged extraction shooter, like Arc Raiders or Marathon, but shoved inside the latest Call of Duty release. Players hop into a large open-world map filled with enemy NPCs and other players to kill stuff, complete missions, loot what they can, and then try to extract with their ill-gotten goods without dying and losing it all. You know, pretty standard stuff for anybody who has played an extraction shooter in the last few years. But DMZ’s opening is different. It’s a more narrative-driven and scripted affair that starts with a soldier dropping into the DMZ with his trusty dog sidekick, Rex. However, things quickly go south for the duo just minutes after landing.
After petting Rex on the ground upon dropping in, you and the dog run off to a crashed drone with orders to retrieve its black box and data. But that’s when two North Korean soldiers ambush you. Rex saves the day by killing both of them, but in the process, he gets shot, wincing and yelping in pain. You check on the poor boy and then drag his injured body over to a spot to hide him where you’ll extract him later.
