There are still quite a few months left for Call of Duty 2022: Modern Warfare 2 to go on sale, but many people have their sights set on Infinity Ward and all the leaks that are emerging around this new installment, which are given dropper and with a lot secrecy. To return to the top, the Activision franchise is not only worth going back to the past; they have to find a new formula that works . And that formula may be the new demilitarized zone mode , which according to several leakers, will have a gameplay very similar to that of Escape from Tarkov (2017).
What will this new mode consist of?
DMZ Mode will be a cooperative survival mode, probably in squads. The acronym DMZ stands for “demilitarized zone”, and it will be the third mode of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II. This mode would be inspired by Escape from Tarkov , a game that came out in 2017 but that was successful even in early access due to its harshness and the ability to transmit fear to the player.
Apparently, this new sandbox would come to Call Of Duty Modern Warfare II in the beta phase , and it would progress little by little through updates. The mode would bring a much more tactical game system in which we will learn to protect ourselves from the rest of the players and search in any corner for the loot that our enemies have hidden to have a chance of surviving.
Therefore, we can discard the zombie mode to focus on this new mode that Infinity Ward is preparing. However, we must not forget that there is still a lot of time left for the launch of the title, which is estimated to arrive between October and November of this year. The change would have all the logic in the world considering that the public has been gradually detaching itself from the Activision franchise. It takes a really fresh, engaging, and adventurous mode for Call of Duty to return to the top, and this DMZ mode may be the perfect excuse for many players to leave other Battle Royales behind and return to this franchise.
Who has leaked the information?
The first leak we saw about this new mode was at the end of December. It was posted on Twitter by Tom Henderson , the famous leaker who already has a batting percentage of over 90%. Come on, when you post something, you’re sure it’s not a hoax.
Modern Warfare II’s third mode is currently called the DMZ.
It’s not entirely clear if that’s the codename or not yet, but DMZ is MWII’s take on Escape From Tarkov.

Henderson’s information would end up being almost verified by Activision itself months later, because on February 11 of this year, the Call of Duty profile itself published on Twitter that this new title would release an incredible evolution of the Battle Royale, with a new game format and a sandbox mode.
Let’s start with a look ahead:
✅ COD 2022 is a sequel to MW 2019, and being designed with a new #Warzone experience (both led by @InfinityWard )
✅ A massive evolution of BR, with an all-new playspace and new sandbox mode
✅ A new engine powering both the new game and #Warzone– Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) February 11, 2022
Finally, the most recent data we have obtained from @TheGhostOfHope , which ensures that the DMZ mode will be released in beta. This comes to confirm the two previous sources. Some fans are really looking forward to this new mode, so this news could be frustrating.
Modern Warfare II’s third mode ‘DMZ’ will launch in BETA.

However, you have to look on the positive side. If Infinity Ward believes it should release this mode in beta, there is still plenty of opportunity for player feedback to improve the gaming experience .
