## Key points

- DMZ players want a playlist without human opponents.
- Infinity Ward says the briefly seen PvE option was for developers.
- A petition has 331 signatures, and similar modes can take time.

## Summary

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s DMZ mode has renewed calls for a PvE-only playlist, allowing players to explore and fight computer-controlled enemies without being ambushed by other squads. The request matters because DMZ is currently PvPvE, and some players say its losses and revival costs make that experience frustrating.

Infinity Ward clarified that a briefly visible PvE option was a developer-only playlist, not a planned player mode. A petition has gathered 331 signatures, while players point to Warzone’s respawns and the lack of co-op PvE modes beyond the campaign. Other extraction games, including Escape from Tarkov and Arc Raiders, have also faced demand for PvE options, which can take time to introduce.
