Still haven't forgiven World War Z for making a blatant mockery of the military, so I'm extremely-skeptical about this.
Yeah, I hated World War Z almost entirely on the basis of what it did to the Do D, so I'm in "Not Sure If Want" stages of thought.
The concept sounds great, it's just that throwing World War Z onboard as inspiration discredits them in my mind.
I did sign up for the beta though, so I might get a chance to see for myself. The concept sounds really good, and the hardcore servers are kind of appealing to me.
Fuckers just better not do that shit where grenades don't kill zombies and such.
This is NOT World War Z.
Jonah Falcon^ Seems to be a separate game...
Give me cute or give me...something?World War Z is getting its own game.
Jonah FalconYou can permanently lose items you spend real-world cash on?
That is a pretty ... gutsy mechanic.
The possibility of Rage Quit is high.
Jonah FalconSo, this game's getting a thrashing from a lot of people due to false advertising an alpha as a paid product without even mentioning it on the Steam page, among other problems.
This game is a full blown scam.
That much is certain. Have you seen totalBiscuit's video on it? (Cleverly titled The Bore Z)
The video mentioned:
Personally, I think they should have waited until they finished all the features they claimed to release with were completed.
A forum post some believe to be a reaction to the above video.

Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.Was that one of the developers? ...They don't seem very professional.
They're not professionals.
If you make money at what you're doing, you're a professional. Even if you're not, well, professional.
That video is brilliant. The guy is as deadpan as fuck and completely pissed off at one and the same time. Typical Brit, 8-)
Total Biscuit, yep.

Tam: Biscuit or the other guy? Biscuit is a Brit IIRC.
Who watches the watchmen?Eh, I wouldn't bother with TB. He's a bit pompous. But yeah, I think anyone who buys from a game made by the same guy who made fucking Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is just asking to be scammed.
EIGHT GLORIOUS SIDESSomeone clarify for me: This is not the standalone game being made by the Day Z/ARMA 2 guys?
(And I rather liked World War Z. :P)
No, this is the game made by the same guy who made this

EIGHT GLORIOUS SIDESto be fair
I had no clue this was being made by the Big Rigs guy.
And I doubt everyone who has heard of both games will know that fact.
Very big Daydream Believer. "That's not knowledge, that's a crapshoot!" -Al Murray "Welcome to QI" -Stephen Fryi thought the Big Rigs guy was just sn executive producer, which means he's not entirely involved in this game's development.
Wait, this game got released?
I'm sure it was rushed to capitalize on the Day Z stuff.
-Checks info about the game-
Yup.
Wait, it's related to Big Rigs Over The Road Racing? That's hilarious.
Bleye knows Sabers.
Surprised no one has mentioned this.
How The War Z will work.
