Modern Warfare 4's DMZ mode falls short of its trailer

Polygon spent a week with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's DMZ mode and found it plays like a fast-paced Warzone-style extraction shooter rather than the slow tactical experience shown in the reveal trailer. The Hajin map and deeper story missions stand out, but solo play is punishing.

• The mode is in early access on the Hajin map along the North-South Korea border
• PvP feels nearly identical to Warzone, with fast pace and quick time-to-kill
• Story missions go deeper than rivals; one required killing over 150 enemies
• Solo play is nearly unviable without suppressors and teammates
