for the first three weeks i didnt even know you can squad up .i would be confused when players would down me and asked if i wanted to squad up , like what you already killed me 😭😂

@@pomonax we tried to explain all the players we met, how they can accept our invite. DMZ needs a training mission, like Plunder had.

@@ksoma14 yeah honestly shouldve been one of the first missions when it first came out . & i didnt understand plunder till we won first place with no kills

I still believe there are good people in the world. Lol. I’m always down to team up

@@texactual after we killed (most of) the enemy team, we are ready to team up with them. But first, you have to show them who is the boss.. :D

Yes! That's exactly what you need in DMZ PvP fights I find

so be on a team and go do your own thing and not be apart of a team sweet....

@@b0begn0pseverything you suggested is wrong on many levels, including grammatical ones.

@@b0begn0psNot how it works little bro

@@lamefuck621 uh ya at the main menu select party. even if you are apart of a party doesnt mean you have to follow them around. I have had plenty of people go do their own thing.

@@el.aye.bee.4477 Yes i agree that people shouldn't be on a team, if they don't want to be a team player.

I've experienced about 70% of players not using mic lately. I will often have 2 teammates not on open mic. Drives me friggin crazy.

I play solo psn I can confirm this

This is what we do, we're on xbox party chat as in game chat is just not as good and often fucks up for one guy, we spam invites and requests when in range,

PS5 Player here, we're typically in our own party chat so we send invites to join teams. We can't hear prox chat for the most part.

​@@cwb124Even when guys use mics they don't actually use it. I'll be doing call outs and trying to talk to guys but they just don't respond or suddenly it clicks five minutes later and they are like, "Oh, yeah! I do want that! Hold on! My bad! I didn't hear you at first!" Or some shit and I'm like, "Maybe if you weren't playing music or literally playing your game inside a trash can next to a busy New York city highway, you might could hear me?" They use mics just to hot mic games or play music. Shit is annoying. It's so weird for me too because I get guys telling me my mic is perfect and we have actual conversations but next game people with mics go whole games ignoring me and pretending like they can't hear me. I hate when I'm trying to give someone the loot they need and they literally won't pick it up. Even when I'm tagging and pinging it with the ping button for the map, right at their bloody feet, they are oblivious to it. I know you can't mute mics either so wtf are they doing? Tuning it all out?

Same I’ll never shoot first and I alway send out Multiple invite other players, but if you don’t except it’s fair game

I like to put them down first. People seem much more willing to be civil that way. Dunno why.

This in my mind is what DMZ is about!! Only way to play IMO!! 👍🏼

The first engagement it seemed like the other operators wanted to team up, but Stodeh & Co did not respond at all to those requests. I would’ve started shooting at that point as well figuring they were getting ready to engage.

@@ZeroTwoWren That was Stod and westie asking to team up. The other team ignored.

Precisely why all this "solo only" or "remove assimilation" shit you see online would ruin the entire concept of the mode.

@@kingpurest6279 yep, it's all part of it! I think adding pleas for solos would be a great move though.

Yeah that's the biggest thing the consolers are limited in what they can hear sometimes if they are on another voice program.

I never get people to exfil with me ams it’s always a fight that sometimes gets all of us killed

damm i seen a solo walk up to our ltv and he sent a request to join our squad but my gunner mowed him down🤦‍♂️

Yeah all the Warzone players realized they can just play DMZ and it’s easier to kill people just doing missions, it’s crazy how that started happening literally over night

Suddenly? Were you previously unfamiliar with the COD player base? If it can devolve to a toxic shit show, it will with these people, very predictable. Whatever asshole came up with this whole "assimilation" (i.e. make teaming a fucking feature) feature was certainly unfamiliar with them.

What's worse is there's no way to plead for help if you're playing solo.

I was at a exfill didn't want to fight for final and I didn't shoot but the ai did and they kill me and saying I was trash and why I shoot when they said why I didn't accept there invite I never got one and I didn't shoot

its not toxicity to just kill operators, its a shooter game.

Main issue is the lack of incentives to actually do the missions besides being a Completionist or for the extra slots

Rewards for the higher tier missions especially are super lackluster for something that takes so much effort to get

I hate it when you have that one random team mate that runs off and gets downed on the other side of the map and expects you to come res them. all just for him to run off again or leave the match right before you get up him lol

@@z-uwu4687 The extra slots are HUGE though.

I simply cannot laugh hard enough at the truth in this comment...!!!🤣😁🤣😔

Good times

​@@JustinRose5629 masochist

@@user-zd3iz3xx6k how, why are you just calling people that.

My holes are sore from the AI

People rarely join... So i turned into one of these who shot before they talk. Simply because i prefer to be the shooter then the one who lays on the ground. ...if their 3rd act passive after i killed already 2, then they can still join 😇

Had this in my run solo of Al-Mazrah. Full killed me and one of they said, “Oh… I feel bad” that’s fucking BS imo. Why would you feel bad if you full killed someone without question? The guy apologized too late.

@@FYou-uf7td Same here. Rather down u and u plea for help/I invite than me getting downed first 😂

Everyone can’t extract dude

Ive been spending the past 4 days looking for an IFAK

​@@StiffBlanketProductionsjust found randomly in the first building i went into this morning, was searching every med box i could for 4 hours last night

​@The Cookie Legend two green tents across the street from the hospital that is just south of Rohan oil. You're welcome There's a gas station right next to the hospital. You can't miss it

@@VincentKiserGaming if you go to the hospital near Rohan Oil and Quarry, you’ll find loads of them. Bandages as well.

How it should be

But damn people are aggressive now. I think it’s for many reasons , one being the meta game isn’t good enough so people are getting their kicks from PvP. I also think it’s because ashika island has made it much easier to regain, so losing your stuff really has minimal consequences. Jump into ashika with a stronghold key card and off you go.

I’m with you my teams come out of fire fights. A lot of us solo’s don’t want to go against other people. We will but would rather team up or just continue doing our own thing.

That is a game ender for solo players. There is no plea function for solos. It’s an automatic team wipe. Super lame approach to playing.

@@ero1220 I play solo often, and have also been in 3 man squads where we played poorly and were wiped by a solo ( who didn't want to join us). There's all sides to the argument. But I do think the devs need to add plea for solo. I've died many times as a solo calling to join and then their 3rd teammate who's not onboard with me joining guns me down while my guard is down while I'm interacting with their TMs trying to join. I've died more ways like this, than I have been able to join up. When I play solo I avoid everyone, because I'm nearly always killed instantly, even when hiding and saying 'hey guys can I squad up'. I just don't trust anyone, because more and more people are coming from warzone whose main objective is kill.

When your solo you can't plea. That's why I try to be friendly. Hardly ever works

Can't wait for plunder

I had an interaction where I joined an enemy team and then I killed both of my previous teammates by assasinatiom

@@MUTE-ETUM haha, jesus. I hope your teammates weren't your IRL friends...

@@tombull89 they weren’t 😂

I'm actually the three of them lmao Shoot first, ask later

I'm the three to be honest and I mostly die because of the 1st ... I won't shoot and want to be friend and boom, I'm down

If I come face to face with a player I will shoot but If I see them from far I leave them alone. will ask if they want to join if they are close by. Some people just go DMZ for hunting players, which I think sucks

I think you should only solo if you have the skill to confidently solo a squad

I'm not sure what you expect to happen trying to solo the weapons case. It's basically a most wanted contract

i was about to say what the comments above me said, i just recommend you going solo Q if you're trying to get the weapons case, because dropping solo is a death sentence, especially more when going for a weapon case

You shouldn't play solo if your not good enough to

@@Ccubed92 I'd like to see you solo a 3 man team while you are carrying the case

Also invitations you need to be closer than prox chat, just because you pick up prox chat does not mean they are getting the invites.

They were in a squad of 5 so they must know. That said, the names were not English, so it's likely they don't even understand what they're saying lol

It’s funny as now I’m sceptical of people asking to be revived as a trap. Shoot or be shot is starting to become the standard now :(

@@dowele2431 if I'm solo (which is quite often as I refuse to squad fill) and I'm fairly confident I've got the drop on a squad, I'll kill them but leave 1 in a downed state, then request invite to squad, leaving them no choice. Won't always stay with them, but at least I then have the opportunity to plead as long as they're still in the game. Bit like collecting a 1up

0 was the answer

@@kingpurest6279 counted 5

Don't bro

Same. I don't generally accept pleads for help anymore either, generally end up getting shafted. I'll avoid players where possible, offer joins squads if I'm solo, but otherwise its shoot to kill, loot + leave. I hate that it's become that way, but hey ho.

@Tony i got hunted by two players the other week. They shot first, but by the grace of luck, i managed to kill them both. Then they pleaded for help. I was like yeah....nope!!

Last time I yelled friendly, A team of 5said but we are not… lol

After the update the proximity chat sound will be much lower or neglectable if you are far away from them. So must of the time I will use text chat when we are far away but noticed them.

You should be solo if your not good

option to make a squad in the beginning...

You can voice and text chat. What more tools do you need?

The 4 man clearly wanted to lol

@@coryrohrbaugh1208 I think you’re right lol

Eh. I would play an entirely PvE version with the current busted AI to compensate.

​@@daedalus6433 Agreed. Just quit playing yesterday after I got my second insured slot. I prefer having OP bots over hostile players any day.

Maybe just enable PVP when a hunt contract is activated or after say 15/20 mins or when the radiation starts spreading (if at all), however I think it would still be better if there was a solo version. There's nothing difficult or cool about killing a solo in the back by a 3 man team when you have the jump on them. Yes I am almost always THAT solo person who has no chance whatsoever as I'm dead before I can even turn around or run. The game needs balance esp with psycho bots running around, (and I am actually ok with them as they are)

the problem is it is way to easy to get your stuff back & regain - pvp should be a risk people have to think about. DMZ is nothing more than BR with extra steps. DMZ is full of war zone players who haven't even finish their first mission of ping 5 enemies running around just killing players because they are dogs hit at actually full pvp games I think DMZ needs the pvp element & its still a pvp game mode but at this point it really isn't any different then the standard warzone the biggest thing is they need a solos only lobby - never mind the advantage of a 3v1(or a 6 man team which seems more and more common vs a solo) but when you have a 3 stack going against a solo with a one plate its just fun of either party. there's no challenge for the 3 stack 3 plate team and its pointless to play for the solo one plate AI sucks but its whatever - to be expected but putting solo & 3 stacks in the same lobby with how easy it is to get stuff just makes the game pointless and unenjoyable

​@@daedalus6433 it wouldn't be a huge point to play if your only playing against ai at that point single players games are meant for you

not with the AI as they currently are. Clear an area out? SIKE BITCH WE GONNA SPAWN IN BEHIND YOU. Being able to lock onto you from miles away, spot you from miles away...it needs a bit of work before it's a pure PVE mode.

No. Love dmz the way it is. Pvp and pve is the whole mode. It's literally made for that.

@@usafjonesy Eh, Tarkov plays fine with the PvE-only mod

@@daedalus6433 that's tarkov, the is DMZ. Dmz is specifically made for this.

I'd like to take it a step further and remove the AI and players entirely.

Did you get a weapon case?

Because I may of been the enemy team

@@Itsamyths No. We were in Quarry.

@@theartisticspartan4488 ahhh ok

No it’s patched

It’s a pvp mode with missions. Just because your bad don’t cry about it. There’s literal contracts that are purely PVP.. it’s a PVP mode stop pretending it isn’t.

​@@quoddeus2274 why do You have to be si hostile towards his opinion lmao

@@quoddeus2274 Unless you're the kind of person that can afford to play this game from the moment they wake up to when they decide to go to bed, then you're going to be bad at the game, because you're going to be playing against people that do play the game for 14 hours solid every day. So it ain't so much being bad as it is being against people who haven't seen sunlight in the past 3 months, so there no need to be a dick about it.

@@PeterCaptainObvious if you are too stupid to play a fucking game to a sufficient level without playing 8 hours a day, then you have another issue and you are definitely my target audience. Congratulations you are a useless person.
