Playtime 1-5 hours I basically came here to raise awareness of this game. Well. IT IS BAD. BAD BAD BAD. I mean first it grows on you, in the sense that I really liked it. I got it with 4 friends and we actually had fun hunting items, getting to cover when hearing gunshots, scouting areas and infiltrating them etc. etc. The graphics, performance, AI and other stuff didn't really seem to matter at first.

Playtime 5-15 hours Increased frustration, since zombies frequently (20% of the time), bug through walls, bug through cars, bug on cars when you stand there, fall knee deep in ground when you hit em (meaning you miss 1-2 hits and it hits you and losing even 25% hp is a **** here), hear you through **** solid walls when you crawl, spawn in groups of five behind you...literally, meaning you'r dead. And these are just the zombie problems (some of them). Next the hackers, we literally did get about 1 firefight with non hackers in this playtime. I would not be overexaggerating, when I say 80% or more of the playerbase hacks, since when you log in to a 40+ player server, you are dead on the spot. I am not lying here.

Playtime 15-dunno30smthinghours We have reached the pinnacle of frustration. Just about everything in this game makes me want to trash my computer. Spawn -> get items -> get killed by hacker -> lose EVERYTHING -> spawn -> run around up to 30 min to nearest good loot place -> get loot -> happy (5min) -> hear gunshot -> dead (another hacker, since its pitchblack and he shot you from 600m) -> lose EVERYTHING. LOG OUT -> REFUND (When you cant get 1, search google, there are ways to make them, they usually get scared when you say you will contact your bank. Dont believe the arguments that you have played over 24h or watever, they are legally wrong and your bank WILL STILL REFUND YOU and then get money from warZ)

Sidenote: I was hoping that Sergei maybe would patch the game or watever, but at the amount of problems and being a programmer myself, I honestly think he would need a top-notch crew and atleast a year to get it working right, so with his team of crackheads, I DONT THINK SO..

Conclusion: Game could actually be fun, but due to the RAMPANT amount of patches, I cannot stress the word rampant enough here. The RAMPANT amount of hackers. the RAMPANT lack of patches. the RAMPANT amount of braindamage all zombies have suffered from. the RAMPANT amount of time it takes to travel (frustrating since you die form hakers RAMPANTLY often).. I could RAMPANTLY go on and on, but you already got it. I wish you all the best and please DO NOT support this game!
