Wow what a sh*tstorm Firstly I would like to say, as many others have THERE IS A WARNING ABOUT IT BEING ALPHA, throw conspiracy around all you like but you were WARNED NOT TO BUY IT. On top of this Dean also DID NOT WANT TO RELEASE IT, but us, the players asked until he did, and he still recommended us NOT to buy it. The only reason it is available to purchase is because of the community, and even so, there is a massive warning label attached. Sure, throw your conspiracy around all you like but YOU WEREN'T FORCED TO BUY THIS, YOU WERE WARNED NOT TO. In saying that I am glad it was released and am happy I bought it, I would still much rather play the mod and I do get frustrated and bored with this game quite a bit. I was playing today, bored because i had absolutely everything, then i got disconnected and my character reset. Yes, I was mad, yes I wanted to stab the devs in the face. Then my friend reminded me this was an alpha, And even with all its bugs it quite a bit smoother to play than ArmA II, crashes less (never crashed for me) and it far more user friendly in terms of user interface, sure UI is fairly unimportant if the zombies don't work in a zombie game, but lets face it, even in the mod the zombies never really were a threat and they were buggy, we can only move forward. Sure, the standalone is missing a lot, and it is going to take a LONG time, hell development might even stop, but once again, you were warned. Also you can say all you want about outfitting, yes i agree, time could have been better spent elsewhere, but character development is quite important in my opinion, and being unique is nice. And what about the hackers everyone complained about on the mod? I haven't met a hacker yet, i am sure there are some but not even close to the mod. Apart from the lack of content the standalone is a far superior experience in my opinion. I could be much better, hell they should have based this off the ArmA 3 engine, But at the end of the day you get what you're given, and I will say it once more YOU WERE NOT FORCED TO BUY THIS INFACT YOU WERE RECOMMENDED NOT TO.
