I've no idea about Breaking Point but I've only ever (well mostly) heard good things about DayZero.

Aparently overwatch is the new breaking point, same features but less buggy.

Breaking point... Is well...broken. Overwatch is the equivelant like Flux said.

I switched a server over from Breaking Point to Epoch. Here is why...


Breaking Point was too easy while having some random crap that would simply kill you for no reason. There was loot scattered everywhere and if you could find a chopper you could simply hit the Carrier or Oil Rig and tons of guns and likely an ammo box or medical box with no spawns so you could just run a loop around it and grab guns junk or not. Drop the junk in a corner and by the time you looped back through something else spawned in it's place. In this way my friends and I were swimming in SD assault rifles and fairly nice sniper rifles. While the different color ghillies were a nice addition, we had  about 20 normal ones in a truck somewhere. Heck we had a rocket launcher and 4 missiles to fire out of it. 

The only non-player thing that scared us were Bloodsuckers and ONLY because they were glitchy. Things would happen like I would fly in to drop off friends then pull up and circle while they searched an area. A Bloodsucker would spawn, hit my friend, and I in the chopper 100 meters up would end up taking the hit. That would knock my unconscious and of course lead to a crash. Which would lead to a long run.

 

The chopper didn't matter because we knew after a server reset it would be back in one of 3 spots and with a couple jerry cans we could get it up in the air again. We had two bases chock full of gear, food, water, weapons, ammo, vehicles. There was so much that even when someone came across our stash they couldn't take enough to make us care. Someone loaded up a military offroad with 2 guns with NV scopes, 2 of our decent sniper rifles, and about 20 SD Stanag clips. We didn't notice for about 4 days and then suddenly went, "Hey, there used to be another vehicle here." We went and found it with the gear I mentioned. 

Breaking Point just has too much in it. The loot tables are silly and you can get geared up so quickly it is ridiculous. My friend would die and before we could get on and get to him in something like a Little Bird or HMMWV he would have everything he needed. Looting his corpse was a matter of, "I like the black version of this gun better than the desert camo." or "I had one of our 3 Farm Ghilles in my backpack.." 

At the end I was like, "My server will come down in 5 days, so we should run out and try that rocket launcher or just walk through Cherno guns blazing, or do a convoy with several armed vehicles and just blast everything. In those 5 days I don't think a single one of us logged in. Instead we were playing Epoch.

Breaking point? Tried it months back, buggy as fuck (to the point it's entirely unplayable) and not only that but no policing on hackers which we ran into far too often and left them to it. Shitty broken mod with loser hackers = shit game.
