    The WarZ is a total scam. I say this because before college I worked at a Staples, and they're experts in mis-representing products and services. What WarZ did is borderline illegal, and if nothing shady was going on, I doubt Valve would've issued a statement and pulled it. We can argue the definition of words and post links to oxford dictionary but the fact is, they blatantly offered one thing and presented it in such a way as to appear available in the game now, when it really wasn't. I'm disappointed too, because I've wanted an open world survivor game for a long time. At least the Day Z people are developing a standalone product I guess.

    Pre-order scams have done quite well too. I will never ever pre order a gearbox title again.

It was never in development for "years" like they claimed. They saw that DayZ was getting incredibly popular and just used almost all the assets from the only game they made (War Inc), added zombies and a real money cash shop and called it "The Warz".

    Let's not forget that the lead guy behind it is the guy that made the engine for the ever popular and multi-GOTY winning 'Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing' Did you know they also copied and pasted the TOS from league of legends? You do now!

    Horribly rushed and lazily executed designed to cash in on the popularity of another game and scam the ###### out of everyone while they do.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    They took a leaf out of UWE's book. "in development for years".. "based off an old game"... Spark engine developed from the Marmoset game. Horribly rushed and lazy. Check, check, check, check. BINGO!

    And you'd order a title from UWE judging from their release state after a 2 year pre-order campaign?

    The price I pre-paid for NS2 was for really for the creation of NS1. I judged the developers on what they had previously done.

    Remember when Left 4 Dead 2 has server issues for the first 2 weeks to month of launch ?
    UWE aren't Valve and honestly they had to get their engine out there being tested far more publicly before they would find any problems. With so many set ups they had to know how it handled on so many systems.

    To put it in context of how well optimised this game is.
    I can play this game and I don't technically meed the specs for it.
    I exceed the specs for minimum play on Planetside 2. I get less FPS and the lighting in shadows on it goes all black while in NS2 I can still see things in low light.

    NS2 is far from WarZ

    Also before someone says how bad it was with pre-order access or whatever. That was Beta it should be expected Betas won't be perfect.

    So wait,

    DayZ and WarZ aren't related? I thought it was the same publisher.

    completely different. DayZ is a mod team for Arma 2, War Z was made/being made by some guy that made some trucking game that was so fail it made me feel embarassment seeing it on youtube. Go on there and search for worst video game ever, youll see it.
