GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed
Insider Gaming reports a player started a petition to add a PvE-only mode to DMZ in Modern Warfare 4. The petition surfaced amid a social-media debate that Insider Gaming says is pitting PvP-focused players against PvE-focused players. Insider Gaming describes DMZ as an inherently PvPvE platform that nearly guarantees encounters with other players, a structure some PvE players say leaves them unable to freely explore Hajin, complete missions, capture content, or farm AI-controlled enemies. According to Insider Gaming, PvP players are enjoying DMZ’s current setup while PvE players feel "hard done by" and have moved to start the petition.
