For Tarkov lovers this is a way of life: Call of Duty fans, maybe not so much.
"Infinity Ward's reputation may never recover from this decision." Some players were more precise about why this might be annoying."To be clear, your plan for CoD Season 2 is to reset our DMZ faction mission progress, which means about 300-400 hours wasted by my friends and I to unlock a 2nd insured slot,"."This feels like a 'fool me once' situation. We're not grinding missions to unlock the same shit again.
It should be said, however, that it's always easy to find COD players complaining about something, and there's plenty of more reasoned reaction too: Not least because server wipes are common in games that are like DMZ, the most obvious example being Escape from Tarkov which resets everything roughly twice a year. It's always been clear that DMZ was modelled on the likes of Tarkov, and an attempt to make what's good about that game more accessible to more players.
Warzone does have a much broader appeal than Tarkov and so the consequences here are going to be more widespread and, arguably, will hit the players who aren't obsessives harder. I haven't completed the faction paths in DMZ, for example, but it is kind of annoying that what I have done will soon be gone.
Horses for courses. These games are huge time sinks and, if a group of players get invested, a decision like this loses an enormous amount of collective time. Some may well have the time to play games over and over again but others don't. I can't speak for others, but the difference for me is that Tarkov wipes tend to re-ignite my interest, because the nature of that game makes repeat playthroughs different every time. Hearing this about DMZ doesn't quite pull me back in the same way, but then perhaps that's why it needs such an overhaul of missions and difficulties.
