With the launch of Call of Duty Season 4, Activision quietly put adverts inside loadouts for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, sparking a backlash in the process.

Name something like warzone dmz and I'll gladly jump.

I literally just installed cod yesterday because I got bored of my other games.

Civ 6 Apex Black desert RDR2

Looking more for extraction PVP.

I'd recommend Hunt Showdown if you're looking for an extraction shooter. Based in the louisiana bayou in the late 1800s, so the gameplay is pretty unique. The shooting isn't quite as satisfying as other similar games, but still quite fun.

I've been really enjoying The Finals for a while now. It's fantastic and actually innovative.

ARC Raiders is coming out very soon if you want a really good extraction shooter. There's also Gray Zone, Escape from Tarkov, Hunt: Showdown, and many others in this genre, all with different twists.

ArmA Reforger I just started playing recently (I own all the other ArmA games but I was waiting on this, since it's still a work in progress, as are all modern games now though it seems). It's a platform, like all ArmA games, where you can play anything from the default Conflict game mode, where two teams fight over a map in a war that can last multiple days sometimes, or a new version of a DayZ style, or ArmA Life (basically GTA Roleplay, but it's existed in ArmA much longer), or so much else.

There's a ton of games out there. You've listed several genres, but all of them with massive budgets. The best games, in my opinion, aren't these. It's the smaller/indie games that are willing to try something new, but you have to look for them. There's been a bunch of civ-likes recently, there's tons of BRs and Extraction shooter style games (Zero Sievert is a cool solo extraction shooter, for example).

Don't just stick to the shiny games with big marketing budgets. Go find some gems in the rough and you'll be greatly rewarded.

Have you tried Escape From Tarkov?

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wanted to but not on steam and only on the website. I'm not paying for a game that I can't return if I don't like.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I think it's coming to Steam with 1.0 soon.

Branch out. Expand your horizons. There's thousands of games available.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

All the games I gave you are all diff genres of games and I'm asking for a specific game to switch from the warzone dmz since we are taking about cod.

Then continue being treated like a piece of shit. Honestly nobody really cares that you want to play advertising and paywall games, just don't complain about how much you have to pay just to get access to everything that's already in game the game.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Where did I complain? Jfc. Immature.

I asked for a suggestion, you have one, and I gave you a reasonable response.

Doesn't Counter Strike have an extraction type game mode?

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Damn CS has extraction now? I'll check that out, haven't played since source came out.

Graphic were so shitty that they thought I was hacking while in water.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They did years ago when PUBG was new (not extraction, but battle royale). It hasn't been updated for CS2 I'm pretty sure, so you can't easily play it anymore.

I'm not really a CS gamer and haven't even played CS2. The last time I played was to try out their new extraction/Battle Royale mode in CS:GO.

I might be off base here and describing it wrong since I'm not very familiar with the genre so apologies in advance
