Infinity Ward opened up early access to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's DMZ extraction mode overnight , meaning anyone who has pre-ordered a copy can now play the game's campaign as well as DMZ. And while early reactions to DMZ are fairly positive, there's one issue in particular, which a number of players have experienced, that has the capability of ending a round as soon as it begins.
The issue is to do with where DMZ spawns players. As an extraction shooter, DMZ's Hajin map offers multiple random spawn locations, and unlike traditional multiplayer modes, DMZ spawns are often on the edges of the map - far away enough from any action to allow players a chance to strategise and pick a target destination.
But unfortunately, one of the spawn-points Infinity Ward picked happens to be placed in the middle of a road, meaning that if you're unlucky, you might spawn as an enemy patrol is driving on it, flattening you and ending your round.
