Saw this on reddit today

[Mr K1tty]

After seeing posts on their forums and the steam forums ... yah, I think I'll skip this one. Seemed like a cool concept but sounds like fail implementation...

[M.E.R.C Janos]

No go then what is so bad about it?

[Mr K1tty]

The biggest complaint I see on both the steam and their forums is lack of customer support and lack of promised features. Followed closely by a large number of complaints about hackers.

Apparently there's basically no pve, it's all people camping and killing new players and stealing their stuff.

There just seems to be more negative posts ... I'm interested in this type of game, that's for sure. But bottom line is it sounds like it's not ready yet.

Yeah apparently there is alot of hate out there for this game.. Not touching it with a ten foot pole.

This is a review of Day Z btw not War z.

[quote][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][left][background=rgb(222, 222, 222)]I think there are a few groups of players who don't like us for what we're doing :[/background][/left][/size][/font][/color]


[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][left][background=rgb(222, 222, 222)]1) Extreme DayZ fanboys. I really envy to Dayz creators for having such loyal players, yet I don't think we can do anything - yes we've announced game right before DayZ mod reached it's prime and it started losing popularity after that. And yes - The War Z and DayZ themes are similar. Heck - both projects are using same reference to other products in their titles [/background][/left][/size][/font][/color][img]http://forums.thewarz.com/images/smilies/smile.png[/img][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][left][background=rgb(222, 222, 222)])). So - if I'll be a Dayz fanboy - I'll be royally pissed off at The War Z. Especially since they won't be able to do anything about it, all they can do is to spread lies and false information about game. They just love to omit obvious facts and bend words.[/background][/left][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][left][background=rgb(222, 222, 222)]2) Players that got a different game from what they expected. One example of this - is whole PVE vs PVP discussion. When we asked our players - we've got very interesting results - half of players want unrestricted PVP, half want to eliminate PVP aspect of the game and keep game strictly PVE. Problem that can't be solved by us.[/background][/left][/size][/font][/color][/quote]

They can't do anything about the pvp vs pve thing? seriously? they make the game but they can't do what EVERY OTHER MMO does and separate pvp and pve servers? for real? <sighs> I need a walking dead mmo... like l4d 2 en mass

Apparently it was recently removed from steam. First game I know of, personally, that has ever been removed from steam because of the community.

The developer totally screwed up and the guy in charge recently gave an interview and clearly not only had only an OK grasp of English, but was very smug about the fact that the game was released rather incomplete.

No thanks, pass.

A buddy of mine and I played Day Z quite a bit and really enjoyed it.  We've stopped playing the mod version and will pick up the retail when it comes out.  They've acquired an agreement with the company that makes Arma 2, Bohemia Interactive.  Bohemia is the main company behind the game with the guy who created the mod as the project manager.  They were trying to release the game by the end of the year, but after seeing War Z's failures, they decided to take their time and really revamp the game to create a better experience.  I'm definitely getting it when it comes out.  If you hadn't played either War Z or Day Z, I'd encourage you to check out Day Z when it comes out :)
