About
About this independent MW4 DMZ guide
This site is a single-topic reference for one thing: the Modern Warfare 4 DMZ Early Access window that opened on October 20, 2026. It is not a news site, not a forum, and not affiliated with the people who make the game.
What this site covers
The DMZ early access window has a short shelf life, and the questions people arrive with are specific: when does it open in my time zone, does my purchase qualify, why is DMZ still locked, how much storage do I need, what does the Forward Operating Base unlock at each level, and does my progress survive into launch. Those are the questions this site answers, and it stops there.
We do not cover campaign walkthroughs, multiplayer optimisation, Warzone meta, or general Call of Duty history. If you need those, this is the wrong site.
Who maintains it
This site is maintained by a small independent editorial team. We are players and readers of the mode, not Activision employees, and we do not have access to Activision's internal documentation, code or player data. When we say something is "official", we mean we read it on an Activision or Infinity Ward page — and we say which page.
We are not paid by Activision, and we do not sell game keys, accounts, boosts, cheats, or any service that touches the game client.
Relationship to Activision and Infinity Ward
Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, DMZ, Activision, Infinity Ward and related names and marks are trademarks of their respective owners. This site is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Activision or Infinity Ward. We quote and link to official material for factual purposes, and we do not reproduce game art or assets.
How we work
Every claim on this site carries a grade — official, official-but-relayed, reported, tested by us, or unconfirmed. We publish the grade rather than smoothing it over, so you can tell the difference between something we read on an official page and something a guide site claimed. The full rules are in oureditorial policy.
We also date every page. Facts about a live-service game rot quickly, and a page that does not tell you when it was last checked is not much better than no page at all.
How to reach us
Corrections are welcome and are the main reason this page exists. If a date, a requirement or a fix on this site is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and note the change. Thecontact page explains what to include.
