Season 5 of Modern Warfare 2 is about to bring some big changes for DMZ. For those of you that love the DMZ experience, prepare for an ultimate battle in Season 5. Here’s what you need to know:
NEW FRIENDS, NEW ENEMIES
All zones in DMZ have been taken over by a new threat, Konni.
“Both sides will be fighting with everything they’ve got, calling in Killstreaks in what is known as Active Combat Zones. Intel suggests that higher-quality supplies and gear are more present in Active Combat Zones compared to single-faction areas.
In Al Mazrah, all Cartel are killed in action within the Koschei Complex. Konni found it, completely gutted it, and found some additional hidden tunnels under the city.
We have also lost Building 21 to the Konni Group. With your help, we can get it back.”

Shadow Company soldiers will now no longer immediately attack players, but do not shoot at them or else they will return fire…
“To all Operators: Shadow Company are your family now. We will not take the first shot on any Operator in any DMZ Exclusion Zone, and fight arm-in-arm with you in our battle against Konni.
However, know this:
Friendly fire will not be tolerated.”

NEW ITEMS
Along with new enemies and new friends comes new tools to use at your disposal. NOTE: These items are aimed for the launch window and may not be available at launch!
DISGUISE FIELD UPGRADE
“Built for pure stealth engagements, the Disguised Field Upgrade allows you to appear as a member of a DMZ Combatant (AI) Faction. Equip the Disguise and DMZ Combatants of the same faction will not attack unless you blow your cover and act aggressively towards them.”

BATTLE REVIVE
“An experimental stimulant offering an adrenaline rush as you complete a self-revive: A Self-Revive mixed with pure Battle Rage! After using it to get up from Last Stand, it immediately activates Battle Rage’s effects, allowing you to heal more quickly. The Tactical Sprint is also constantly refreshed for a short period of time.”

SELF-REVIVE BOX
“Much like an Armor Box, this Field Upgrade holds multiple Self-Revive Kits. Perfect for squad-based infiltrations.”

SCUBA GAS MASK
“This is a Gas Mask that also acts as a Rebreather, providing protection from radioactive winds, gas, and allows for underwater breathing for an extended period of time.”

NEW AREAS
There are also new areas: Active Combat Zones which will feature higher-tier loot and more enemy AI and Single-Faction Zones which will feature no enemy AI, lower-tier loot, but safter.
