I want to try it for a while at least. It was an early birthday gift from a friend.
It was this game because he is unemployed and had nothing else in the inventory. :P

1) Luck out on a decent spawn location.
2) Walk around as slowly and carefully as humanly possible while constantly scanning your surroundings in 360 degree spins.
3) If you see a zombie, stay FAR away, do NOT make any noise, unless you are SURE you can draw it towards you and away from any other potentially nearby zombies.
4) If you manage to lure 1 solitary zombie towards you and isolate it, smack it with your flash-light until it dies. You'll have to keep walking backwards as you swing so the zombie doesn't hit you; the hit detection on this is balls, so good luck not getting hit while still hitting the zombie, and already losing your shit right here. Mind - this takes about half an hour to accomplish.
5) Look around for any indoor location that might house a weapon. There's a bigger chance, though, that you'll get some apples, a can of coke, and maybe a baseball bat (which does almost no more damage than a flash-light), if you're lucky.
6) Wonder around a bit, aimlessly, trying to find more random items, as you slowly try to make your way to a neutral area, using the terrain for cover as best as possible.
7) Walk into an old house, find a basic pistol and some ammo, and feel good about your accomplishment (which took an hour or two, so far).
8) Walk back outside as you're close to a neutral zone and might as well get in it ASAP, and get your head blown off as soon as you pop out to find your bearings by an asshat with a rifle with an 8x scope somewhere off in the distance where you can't even see one pixel of him.
9) Find out your character is dead for a day, unless you pay to insta-res them.
10) Realise what a pathetic, steaming, hot carl of a "game" this is as it's just taken a fresh dump on your chest.
11) Beat your chest and bang your clenched fists on the desk in frustration, trying not to damage your keyboard, and wonder what you're doing with your time.
12) Uninstall this garbage, and try to recover from your wasted evening and high levels of adrenaline-fueled frustration.
13) Wonder how on earth anyone can enjoy this. Sit there with a dropped jaw in stunned disbelief.
There. An in-depth guide to the rip-off / scam / bore, nay - the terror, that is War Z.

Hello, would you like to play a game of Thermonuclear Warfare?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll try the first 7 steps. For now, I'm able to play with my friend and his clan, and one of them springs for a private server. No player killing, just zombies.
Time zones will keep me from playing at the same time as most of them though, so eh.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well at least you have a server where you'll be safe from jackasses. Good luck though, on not having your gamer sensibilities and taste befouled. Should you get driven insane by this, come hang out in my main group some time, play some (good) games with us, watch a stream or so ;)

Well any game COULD be fun lol. I just think games should be fun more often then not.

Thank god a local grammar Nazi was here to save the day.

Because a small correction with no hint of sarcasm or insult meant to genuinely inform and better the person you're replying to must mean you're a condescending jackass deserving of the moniker "grammar nazi" along with a snarky tone, right?
Also, to be precise, it's more of a usage problem than a grammar issue.

That is being a douche? Are you new to the internet or something? :P

.. Oh piss off. You're acting snarky, sarcastic and facetious. Internet or not, if you said that out loud and in person, anyone listening would think you'd be acting like a douche. Period. All this "oh buy it's the internet bro, relax bro" bullshit really needs to stop. Communication is communication.
You felt insulted by my correction, shoved the role of "condescending jerk" into my shoes, then acted like a sarcastic twerp.

If it's anything like Dayz:
1) Patience, the game is slow, you need to gather resources and plan every single step
2) Play with friends, alone you're dead.
3) Get used to the fact that IT'S HARD.
4)You're not saving the world, you're saving your ass, sometimes just not starving is a huuuge accomplishment ;)
In the end it's a lot of fun, but you need to play it in the right way, forget BF4 or COD :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Mmmm, your ability to express yourself seems a little bit limited...
1)BS, this game is slower than the average, saying the opposite is a monumental BS (slow != bad)
2-3) Your internet penis is -huge-.
4)That was an example to convey the notion that in this game you're not an hero, you're a survivor, and that's what you're trying to do, survive, but I guess you were already on the BS train and couldn't stop...
Comment has been collapsed.
The BS train sounds like fun at least. The thought also gave me flashbacks of a series of games I once played, and a rather unique bus within those games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Which series? Now I'm curious!
I haven't played WarZ so I don't know if it's anything like Dayz, which I find pretty funny, it require more practice\patience than the average game, but it can be really rewarding, you're really a survivor, not a (serious) Sam, just a regular guy trying to save his ass.
This explain really well the feeling that permeate it
If WarZ is anything like this, you should definitely spent some time playing it!
Comment has been collapsed.
A series of H-games called X-Change.
I would not recommend looking up the bus.
Comment has been collapsed.
i cant help but imagine this is something like the helpful bus
MIGHT be considered nsfw... not really...
Comment has been collapsed.
I have played DayZ, the "learn how to play this game" way, not the "lol lets play and fail everytime because fuck learning effect" - way
but then again I forget who I am to disagree with someone who has played the game/mod excessively..
In be4 shitstorm:
You might have played the game using external programs that don't require the knowdlege on how to isntall mods for Arma, or you might have played it simply without Steam, all the facts I have though are that you haven't played Arma much.
Because "your ability to" ACCEPT someone elses ability is as terrible as mine, let me explain more:
1) Patience: Playing more aggressive thus more fast can lead to more results. Sprinting into the locations that hold military weapons as a fresh spawn is pretty useful, because zombies walk slower in buildings and you can escape the firehouse using the ladder outside. Waiting or having patience may lead to the same result, but with the danger of being spotted by other players, as a fresh spawn being spotted ain't much of a problem, many don't shoot fresh spawns and smart people that have gear usually stay clear of the spawn area anyway.
2) Alone works just as good, it is more fun with friends, but finding friendlies is still a thing that is possible, helping fresh spawns works, but just saying friendly when seeing someone works very often as well!.
If you stay out of dangerous areas you have no trouble being alone, plus you are just 1 so the chances of you being spotted are smaller than if you were in a big group. Staying out of trouble, checking sniper locations, observing target area a little (no contradiction to 1) works pretty good, even when alonee.
3) WHile it might be a crule game, playing Arma more and getting used to a real balistics engine works just fine in getting to understand the way the game works, compared to Battlefeel or Crap of Duty. While it might seem hard at first, after getting used to the game it gets much easier. Knowing your way around probability of ambushes/position of shooters/tactical placement/movement of your group or yourself/moving to cover etc. is pretty useful, thus military expertise or even playing paintball/softair help a lot.
4) Food isn't scarce at all, the fact that it was an example doesn't make it right.
"YOU ARE A HAMSTER" is still wrong, even if I say it is an example. You can find tons of food insupermarkets or off dead zombies, if you are a fresh spawn grabbing an alice pack and filling your bag works fine, once you have the tools and the water bottles you dont even have to go into the cities to find food/water anymore, and since animals give you a shit ton of meat and water has an infinite supply at wells or lakes, I don't see how food or water can be scarce.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, I use DayZ Commander to launch DayZ, and 9 times out of 10 steam doesn't recognize it or simply recognize something else (never launched Arrowhead one time in my life).
It's nice to see that you're able to explain yourself better than with BS * 4, but I think you're still not getting my point, that wasn't a Dayz's review, that was some simple advice to Delta on how to play WarZ.
0) DayZ is good, really good, not great (too many bugs), but a really fun game, nothing I wrote said the opposite.
1)Sprinting != Planning, what you wrote here:
Sprinting into the locations that hold military weapons as a fresh spawn is pretty useful, because zombies walk slower in buildings and you can escape the firehouse using the ladder outside.
It's planning.
2)Like always (even more for a newbie...don't hate me Delta) it's easier to play with friendguildgroup.
Sure, when you're an expert you can play alone, but don't forget I was talking to Delta, AKA
I wandered around with my flashlight, then got killed by a couple of zombies.
3) While it might seem hard at first, after getting used to the game it gets much easier...
I'm pretty sure this is exactly how it work with hard games, they're hard in the beginning and get easier the more you learn about them.
4)Change "food" with something you like, the meaning it's clear.
Got to go, going to respond tomorrow

Relax your cock.

Aha, I've read so many horrible things about this developer, fortunately nobody's gifted me a copy or I'd feel obligated to play it. Good luck!
Thank you for the cat thing, all I have is a whatever this is. :)

All I can say is, don't enter the cities, unless you have some equipment. Wander around is the little places first until you find stuff and the last part, don't trust whatever human, unless it's a friend.
I have tried to trust many people, but always died by them.

Don't play. Simple as that. Your HD will thank you for the free space.
Comment has been collapsed.
I cant believe people still want to play this game after all that bullshit, dude seriouslly, make a favor to yourself stay away form this crap. There are some features that they stated as being in the game build that wasnt implemented until now, things like vehicles, servers with 150 players, stronghold servers and the list goes on so they lied about most stuff the game had, they should be removed from steam forever. Or maybe removed from this world xD
