As the cycle begins anew for another year, hype is quickly starting to build ahead of the CoD 2022 reveal. While we know for certain that Modern Warfare 2 is just months away, no concrete details have been made official just yet. That hasn\u2019t stopped a wide range of alleged intel from slipping through the cracks, however. From returning maps to early campaign tidbits, we\u2019ve seemingly heard a great deal already. Perhaps capturing attention more than anything else though, are reports of a new Escape From Tarkov-inspired game mode. Referred to as DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), leaks suggest this ambitious project will present a unique experience with exclusive features never before seen in the CoD franchise. If these reports hold true and MW2 does indeed launch with an EFT style mode, it might just \u201csave\u201d the series, according to Scump. Reportedly taking heavy inspiration from EFT and games of that ilk, DMZ appears to be a \u201cmore tactical\u201d offering, according to prominent leakers. What equipment and loot you take with you into each round of action, can potentially be lost in the high-risk high-reward mode. \u201cIf they do that right\u2026 It could save CoD,\u201d Scump claimed during the latest OpTic Podcast. \u201cIf they do that right\u2026 Oh my God. Escape From Tarkov, CoD style, with skins\u2026\u201d Read More: Everything we know about Warzone 2 &#8211; Speaking to the latter point, the latest batch of leaks suggest \u2018tradeable items\u2019 will arrive in CoD through the DMZ experience. A virtual marketplace will allegedly allow players to purchase and trade everything from weapon skins to entire weapon blueprints. It\u2019s through similar in-game systems that EFT garnered such widespread popularity as every successful run could amass a certain degree of wealth. With Activision seemingly eager to replicate this style with MW2, Scump just \u201c[hopes] they do it right.\u201d \u201cIf it\u2019s an Escape From Tarkov type game\u2026 Those games are addicting! Just trying to build your balance, going in killing people, taking their sh**, that\u2019s such a good feeling. \u201cKilling enemies that have higher tier loot. It\u2019s such a thrill. It\u2019s so fun.\u201d Scump discusses MW2\u2019s leaked DMZ mode at the 37:00 timestamp. While he ultimately isn\u2019t \u201cgetting [his] hopes up\u201d just yet, as plenty can change between now and launch, Scump believes the new mode could get the storied franchise back on track.

Perhaps with MW2 and the release of this leaked DMZ mode, CoD might bounce back in a big way. Scump certainly thinks it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scump claims leaked Modern Warfare 2 DMZ mode could \u201csave CoD\u201d by following Escape From Tarkov YouTube: OpTic Nation \/ ActivisionCall of Duty icon Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner believes the leaked Escape From Tarkov-style mode known as \u2018DMZ\u2019 for the upcoming Modern Warfare 2 launch, could help \u201csave\u201d the franchise.
