Plenty of food and drink, fifteen rounds for my Mosin and a big open plain in front of me, expecting customers.

hopefully things will change with the new revamped engine, whenever it gets implemented

The only TRUE Stealth crowd funded game.

It was more PvE to me. I feel his pain though, when I played with my friends it was basically team deathmatch with zombies when you ran across anyone else.

Actually, it's a zombie apocalypse survival game. The fact that it has devolved into Chernarus deathmatch is kinda sad for those that have played and enjoyed the mod before it became popular.


BTW very nice screenshot.

as other said, PvP was just a part of the original concept, but now this very invasive part have just destroyed the overall experience IMHO.

It's why I don't play DayZ either, I have to say.

I think the idea of the game was supposed to be that the majority of us naturally good-natured humans band together and fight off the zombies. But, sometimes there are confrontations/disagreements over resources or personalities or real estate and groups sometimes clash. (Pretty much how the tv series Walking Dead goes).

Unfortunately, so many people want to adopt the role of a hoarding psychopath and kill anyone on sight.

People can play how they want, I suppose. However, the two types of gameplay don't mix and anyone putting the effort into the 1st type would be pretty pissed to be headshotted by Ajay while running across the plain. (No offence meant to you Ajay.)

I find Altis Life, in servers with strict rules to protect against deathmatch, MUCH more rewarding.

I'm a watcher/stalker not a shooter. Most people i see go on their way without ever knowing i was there, i generally only shoot after i have come under attack or if i see a bad situation developing. This was my log out spot the other night and with the open plain and mil area in the distance it just begged for a sniper pic. If i was really sniping i would have had a scope, and some decent sniper skills wink

Surprised by all the negative vibes.
PvP doesn't bother me an ounce at all.

There is plenty of open space, towns and villages to let us do whatever we fancy. I've played on packed servers and never met a soul by staying away from the hotspots.
And then I've longed for company, found some, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Part of the game, I like the unexpected side of it.

Should all give it another go.

Very nice pic.
He's got a green Mosin, funny. Who does he think he is, an artist?

Cheers,
Slug

I haven't played this game in forever because it has been ruined by the PvP stuff.


"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11

Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11
