I'm interested in getting this game...but... is it still fun if you play on your own? is there only duo and group mode? or is there a sort of massive tdm? I don't know a great deal about this game and only seen a couple of vids on youtube but it looks quite good from whet ive seen
My honest review - It's a lot of fun, once you get into a game (I have just discovered you should not use the test server if you value your time!) and once you get used to the quirks. It's like a cross between GTA V online, with a bit of Stalker, and the controls/feel of Arma (but less clunky)
I play on my own, and it's decent. It can be a bit of a walking sim at times, but a "tense" walking sim - you are often trying to outrun a creeping wall of death whilst not being shot in the back of the head by someone else. I ran for about 10 minutes across the map yesterday only to die 10m from the right side of the force field thing. Now, that actually sounds more annoying than it was. Beating the wall was a mini game in itself. I was so far away from the shrinking play zone I knew the wall would eventually catch me up, but I only had half health. The wall travels faster than you and slowly leeches your health. I needed to take the most direct route to the new play zone; however I also had to decide whether or not to stop and search for medkits or bandages on the way. Could I outrun the wall with the health I had left, or would I have to risk searching for health on the way? In the end I had a panicked rush into a house and found some bandages. I had to wait for another few seconds to make sure some dude on a motorbike had safely passed before I set off. In the end I just couldn't apply the bandages in time and fell down dead about 2 seconds from the wall.
It's great when you lay in wait on the safe side of the wall for people who have just done exactly the same thing just to then pop up from behind a wall and shoot them in the face. It's also nice to find some decent gear as a bit of a treat.
There is a lot to think about compared to a regular run and gun. You need to make fairly quick decisions and it's unforgiving at the start. Worth the 20-25 quid or so. Hopefully some of the weird quirks will be ironed out in time. Trying to get over a 2 foot wall is a complete pain in the ****, for example.
It has been a fairly quick grower for me; however how long it will stay fresh remains to be seen. There's not much else out at the mo, I only really play bf1 and this now.
