h1z1

[Shrubwise]

I'm playing H1Z1 and having a blast. Yeah, the paid airdrops are a rotten feature, but as noted above, you're not even guaranteed the airdrop. My pal was standing right under an airdrop when it fell. He said the area was swarmed with no less than 60 people in an all-out deathmatch.

People purchasing airdrops are probably wealthy. Or dumb. Probably both.

Aside from that, the game offers a unique approach on the zombie survival aspect. This is the first time in a survival shoot-em up where it does not always make sense to kill on sight. Many times, I find some other dude just running around scavenging, we make friendly and go about it together. So far it's very, very hard to find enough materials to build an actual base, so most players are just living the nomad lifestyle.

Death is not a huge deal. Usually pretty funny, actually. Especially since there's no chat. That's right, you can't type in messages. The game is played strictly using voice proximity chat, which is both hilarious and a pain in the ass. There are character motions tied F1 - F11 (for instance, F1 is to wave, F1 is to flip the bird, and everything in between) if you are in close proximity to enemies, they can hear your voice chat and vice versa, so you are stuck using the F buttons to communicate.

The game has a long way to go, but it's lots of fun and worth the $20.

I bet you can mod rust to do pretty much what h1z1 is doing. or DayZ for that matter.

Release?

My last post was legitimate response, and I just can't do that twice in a row on a game board. [You must be logged in to view images.

My experience there was that it was like someone took the most douchey people off the Red server and bred them, then released that population on one particular game.

We tried to see how many farm animals we could find in the game. We found some chickens, but most refused and died a horrible death.

Rust was an amazing game if you found a server with good mods and not a lot of hacker abuse. Don't play it anymore and never really played much of the new version. Never was a big fan of Day Z and I have never played the stand alone.I'm not sure if airdrops work exactly the same in Rust as they do H1Z1 but if they do I can easily see it being P2W. Playing Rust with a group of friends if we didn't want to have to worry about enemies trying to steal it we would just head out into the wasteland and call them in. Each person would stand in the area where each crate would land and loot up immediately. I'm not sure how big the world is in h1z1 so that might not be possible.

I've played on some pretty heavily modded Rust servers that had rpg elements with classes, leveling, bounty system, etc so I wouldn't doubt it could be modded like this. I would love to play a Rust/Day Z hybrid on the Forgelight engine because I love PS2 but I don't know yet prolly wait a little to see how it goes.

I'll be honest here.. I didn't read hardly any of this thread so sorry if someone else pointed it out but, read Semdley's post here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comment...imzb?context=3

In which he clearly states that for months they've been "up front" about the airdrops as they are (meaning containing guns, ammo, pay2win items in general)

And now read this post from TEN DAYS AGO by Semdley:

http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comment...f2b0?context=3

In which he is still claiming they are going to contain cosmetic changes only. LOL. I COULDN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP IF I TRIED. Why would anyone play ANY game that Semdley touches??

Well, I'm going to assume you play a game Smedley touched if you're on these boards. Otherwise - and even sadder - you just post here without ever playing?

O shit, SHOTS FIRED!!

Smed has done many an oxy and stolen many a dollar since 1999. It was clearly meant towards any of his recent works, nerd.

no zombies anywhere, they failed the basic concept of the game
