Good intel has a source.
Official announcements first. Community questions help us decide what to explain next.

How we use our sources
Official publications establish game facts. Video and community discussions help identify questions; they are not treated as automatic proof of a mechanic. Community posts can describe legacy MW2 DMZ, so we check which game they concern.
Our preparation advice is editorial guidance. We do not claim hands-on testing, live server telemetry or access to private Discord announcements. Update dates indicate when the material was reviewed, not a game patch date.
