Star Citizen players and Escape from Tarkov players. Both think their game will be finished before they are copied/cloned by a faster/better studio.
This has already happened with Tarkov. Tarkov has been copied and cloned, but none of them are nearly as popular. Call of Duty didn't even really come close, and that's AAA. The game has already been around for 7 years. You would think someone had the time to make a better extraction shooter by now, but no one has. I honestly wish they would hurry up, because Tarkov is a mess from a netcode and performance perspective, it's just great in the game design department.
I'd argue DMZ was a better (or at least more casual) extraction shooter than Tarkov, I enjoyed it more than the cycle frontier at least.
I prefer Tarkov just a bit, but I honestly really liked dmz too. It wasn't bad at all. Not nearly as deep as Tarkov, but it didn't need to be. It had actually decent netcode and hit reg compared to the mess that EFT is. It's kind of a shame that the mode wasn't more popular, but thats partially due to the playerbase being so divided between multiplayer and warzone already. I'm still hopeful that they can improve it in the future.
I'd rather them just update the MW3 zombies mode, I'm having a great time with it. It's a really fun combination of DMZ style gameplay with the zombies from CW "Outbreak." Hopefully they expand the types of missions and put special events into it.
I think Hunt Showdown has done really well in the extraction shooter genre
