Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set to carry the torch from MW2, and although the story is supposed to be grand, our author Christos wouldn’t have touched the game if it weren’t for a coming mode that could create some excitement.
Which mode is it about? The upcoming mode in MW3 is called MWZ. It is a mix of DMZ and Zombies. You will be thrown onto a large map solo or in a group, complete tasks, and then try to escape the map with your loot.
What’s interesting about this mode are the zombies that will spread across the map. Those who enjoyed the zombie maps in the various Treyarch CoD games might find MWZ enjoyable.
Zombies and bosses on an open map? I’m in!
MWZ will soon provide variety: I am a long-time fan of the CoD Zombie franchise. Even in Black Ops 1 with Kino der Toten, I always tried to beat my record, even though the atmosphere was quite scary at that time.
Since CoD hasn’t released anything new regarding zombie modes in a long time, I am all the more excited to finally face hordes of zombies and even bosses in MWZ again.
The mode is also supposed to make the slaughtering of the undead even more worthwhile by connecting it with DMZ. You can land on the large map and complete tasks with your friends, but if you encounter zombies, you’ll have to fight back.
Did you miss the trailer for MWZ? Then we have just the thing for you:
It is still unclear whether you can find weapons on the ground and in bags like in DMZ, but before you land, you can definitely set some weapons. If your firepower is not enough, just use the infamous Pack-A-Punch, a machine that not only visually and acoustically adjusts your weapon but also increases its damage.
You will need that, because as already seen in the trailer, there are not only normal zombies but also the infamous hellhounds, juggernauts, two large bosses, and other monsters that you won’t be able to defeat easily.
Additionally, there are the well-known perk colas that will buff you and further secure your survival, and new as well as familiar wonder weapons from the franchise. The Mystery Box has also made its way into MWZ and will provide you with weapons and items if you have enough points.
It is primarily the transition from the familiar DMZ to the zombie setting that already creates excitement for me. DMZ felt exciting upon release, but the mindless enemies I encountered dampened my fun.
With the zombies, however, I am not facing shooting enemies, but monsters that appear relentlessly and try to suffocate me in their hunger for flesh. They can be mindless as long as they chase me and create panic.
Will there be PvP in MWZ? At launch, the mode is set to start without PvP, but it is unknown whether Activision could change this in the future. PvP could cause issues.
I would rather see large groups of players battling together against a giant boss and sharing the loot, instead of trolls who stand in the way of others just to ruin their fun, only to be torn apart by zombies themselves. For my part, I am looking forward to the release of MWZ, but I first have to settle for the campaign.
Are you also looking forward to MWZ or are you more interested in the multiplayer mode? Let us know in the comments!
