This is game is is just getting worse...
This was once a great game which has been completely ruined by it's community and development team.

Cheating has always been a problem and valve has tried different techniques but with such a cheap game it really doesn't stop any of them even if they get banned.

Touchy subject but smurfing is a problem. I have been S3 all the way through MGE and literally every rank has smurfs that hang around in those matches literally using it as a warm up against lesser skilled players or to just destroy with their friends who aren't as good. Why is it okay for a team of solo queues to go against a full team of 5. Just something I think should be addressed in my opinion.

Matchmaking is so awful. Playing against stacked teams every game is getting old. MG2, Nova 4, and 3 silvers against a full team of silvers does not equal out. It's a complete waste of time. I would rather wait the extra time to find a fair match up then go sit in a 45 minute game just to lose to a stacked team. You can't learn when a team just runs all over you. So you either sit there for 45 minutes or take a ban of 30 minutes just to get the same thing the next game.

I used to love playing this game as a new player and over time got decent enough to go up in the ranks and over the years had multiple times I would stop playing and pick it back up again and each time it's worse.

The development team has completely been useless when it comes to this game. The game literally came out 2012 and we're still looking at the same maps, only things that have changed is how toxic the player base is.

Bring in hardware bans, increase punishment of leavers, griefing, hacking, and make smurfing an actually illegal in game activity. Multiple games have done it because the devs actually realize it's a problem especially for any new player to come into this game.

At the current state if you haven't already played this game don't even bother...

So after quite a few hours of playing here are my thoughts...

The game is pretty decent and especially well made for only being out for about a month in early access. With that being said if you enjoy survival games you'll like this game. The guns are decent, AI is pretty well made but sometimes it feels like they are either complete idiots or have an aimbot... depends on the moment.

My biggest like and dislike comes with the base building in this game and your loot in game. I understand this is early access but even the developers said no one likes their base being raided offline and they made this game so you wouldn't be able to do that. However, people still find ways to glitch into a base and steal everything. Then on top of that you have players who like to dupe glitch their money and buy all their items. This is game breaking. Somebody who spent their time going out killing players, and AI through missions to gather items and money to store in their base and while they log out or leave their base unattended for 10 minutes to go to the safe zone to trade or to go out looting and everything is stolen because of a glitch. Some people don't care cause they'll just go to the safe zone storage and dupe their money to get all the items they had back, but someone who wants to play the game legitimately will have to go work hard to gather all that up again. On top of that, they will have to go through a server wipe eventually due to the insane amount of people who use these glitches so everything you're working hard for right now... waste of time.

Some ideas that I would like to see from this game going forward...

1. Maybe a hunting system with wildlife both dangerous and harmless. This adds another aspect of survival where you can be up on a mountain stalking a town below looking for players or AI and get attacked from a wild animal from behind. Just a thought that might add some more survival.
2. A community run marketplace for items worth value. Instead of just buying items from the trader have players be able to sell them to each other as well as other items that can't be sold right now like crafting items. Traders could still buy junk that has no use in the game at this time.
3. Definitely need some kind of clan based playing for groups of people who like to play together to be allowed in each others base while either one is on or offline. This allows for shared inventory space between you and your friends. It's hard when either your friend or you has all of the loot in their base and you kinda have to deal with whatever you just have in your trade storage or on your body.
4. I don't know if this is coming or not but I think it would be cool if you had a mission to a raid a train that rolls through the map. The train tracks are everywhere I just think once cars are implemented it would be neat to see a "raid the train" mission.

At this time I will say I recommend this game however I would say proceed with caution when it comes to your base and what you expect to come from this game in the near future due to highly likely wipes and updates that may cause other bugs.

A good free game to try out if you like some good jump scares as well as being able to protect yourself.
