7. THE ZERO-RISK OPERATOR Keep one Operator slot for free-loadout runs. Exfil? Great: loot and a Trait Point. Die? Dismiss the MIA Operator and recruit a new one for free, no rescue fee. Don't risk what you can't afford to lose. Remember: loot isn't really yours until extraction.

8. SOLO & SILENCED DMZ matchmaking tries to match solos with solos, duos with duos and trios with trios. It's not guaranteed, but going solo (Squad Fill OFF) means fewer or no squads. Bring a suppressed weapon, stay quiet and pick your fights. Less AI making noise running around chasing you.

MY OPINION A PvE-only DMZ would split players and dev focus and strip away its identity: risk. Without that, extracting is a chore, not a tense escape. Exfil campers suck. But loss aversion isn't a reason to redesign the mode. Learn, adapt. Not every mode is for everyone.

4. SOUND IS INTEL Wear a headset and listen: gunfire, footsteps, vehicles, voice lines, captured POIs and AI fighting all give valuable info. You don't have to run towards every fight or objective. As a PvE player, taking a quieter route or waiting for a squad to move on is often the smarter play.

6. FIND FINAL INTEL The Final Intel trait reveals the final exfil on your map from the start. You can call it in early, before others even know where it is. That's a huge advantage for a quieter exit. Check your Operator's tree, minor traits can be different.

5. SCOUT YOUR EXFIL Don't rush straight to the green smoke. Watch from a distance. Open doors, vultures, dead AI or unusual movement could mean company. Scout with a drone or Portable Radar if available, keep smoke grenades ready and have a backup exit in mind.

3. INSURE YOUR BIG RUNS Taking a geared Operator on a difficult mission? Use an Operator Rescue Beacon and a Weapon Insurance Contract if you have them. One saves the MIA recovery cost; the other protects equipped weapons. Neither protects your entire backpack.

1. POSSUM CHECK No vultures circling a dead Operator? They have the Possum trait and still be able to revive. PvP hunters know this too. If you're relying on Possum after getting killed, don't rush your revive. Wait until the area is actually clear.

2. USE YOUR SECURE SLOT Going solo for that one FOB upgrade item or a rare weapon recipe? Put it in a Secure Slot as soon as you find it. Even if another player kills you, the item is protected and you made progress.

Before asking for a PvE-only DMZ, learn the map, traits and tricks that help you avoid PvP. I'm a PvE-minded player too, but sometimes you die and lose your loot. That risk is part of the extraction experience. Here are 8 tips for #MW4 #CallOfDuty DMZ

Haven’t touched a new Call of Duty in years, the series had fallen off for me. The new DMZ caught my attention, so I pulled the trigger yesterday. Booted up the campaign as it was available already and…damn, it’s 🔥 I was hooked and immersed from the start. #CallofDuty #DMZ #MW4

Character names are part of the first impression you make in an MMO. You can be funny or creative without making the game experience worse for people around you. Good to see this being enforced early in the Forever Beta. If you push it way over the line, don’t go full 'surprised Pikachu' when your Beta access gets revoked.
Reminder to keep your character names in the Forever Beta respectful and within policy. Forced name changes are going into effect and users with the most extreme violations have been removed from the Beta. More info: blizz.ly/47he542

First Heroes of the Storm, then WoW Forever and now Destiny. Really cool to see communities stick with the games they love, speak up about what they want and actually help shape what comes next. Really excited for all three. 🔥
