Activision is neglecting multiplayer in favor of Warzone 2’s DMZ mode in particular.
The developers continue to experiment with the DMZ , with each major update it gets a ton of new content, from the introduction of barter recipes to the new location “Koschei Complex”. However, Modern Warfare 2 players seem to be becoming increasingly jealous of the attention the Warzone 2 DMZ is receiving, claiming that Activision is neglecting multiplayer.
Reddit user antmaster208 posted a meme on the Modern Warfare 2 subreddit comparing how each section of the CoD series is handled to a parent babysitting in a pool.
In the image, the parent labeled Activision has its full focus on the DMZ while Warzone 2 and “co-op” struggled on their own. Meanwhile, Modern Warfare 2 was left abandoned at the bottom of the pool with a sarcastic caption: “The Next Generation of Call of Duty.”
While the meme was clearly intended as a joke, many other players agreed that DMZ has become a popular mode in Call of Duty these days.
“DMZ is the only mode I can consistently enjoy,” one reply says, while another agrees: “Really, I came for the multiplayer and then stayed for the DMZ. Love it.”
While the popularity of the DMZ only seems to be growing with regular updates, Modern Warfare 2 players have argued that the multiplayer now feels “outdated” and “gets old” quickly due to the lack of new content.
Some even compared the treatment of Modern Warfare 2 to past zombie modes, with one response stating, “MP will find out how zombie players have felt in the past few years.”
Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 4 should bring tons of new content to every game, including the DMZ. Only time will tell if the community will feel the same after the release of the update.
