Well, after my first day playing I'm really enjoying it. I think I'm level 15 or so. Got to get in a few games with a decent number if people. I like the guns and customization. The maps are alright. Challenges seem a little odd, not sure I like the way they've been implemented. So far, so good. Enjoying being back in the Duty. Via the FG App

I'll probably buy a physical copy next week and if I get sick of it or it's just not my cuppa tea, I'll trade it in and probably get £40-odd back. In the past I've bought new releases cheap off of eBay and traded them in for even more money, so I probably wont mind taking a punt with this one.

I totally had that feeling too. I think they see what Destiny have and want a piece of that pie. A live service is what a lot of gamers are really enjoying right now, however the hard part is alot of these gamers also want regularly new drops of content to drop. That is really hard to keep pushing out and theyll need microtransactions to help them.with ongoing development. Idc about them if they are cosmetic only. It's even better if you can also earn them all in game through just playing. It doesn't put me off the game. In fact, I'd be more open to it as you can see a game like Borderlands 3 just doesn't have legs in it because it catered for offline mode.

Anyone that has reached the officer ranks at level 55 can now participate in trials using earned tickets from playing the MP. These are timed challenges that can earn up to 10,000xp for each one and you get 3 goes per ticket. I'm not sure how tickets are earned but I had 10 banked at level 105 so I'd say you get maybe a couple of every 10 levels after rank 55. I've only done the first one so far which was an assault course very similar to that in MW2. Shame Classic Spec Ops wasn't more like this - I'd happily remove XP and tickets just to play casual challenges like this for fun.

Yeah it's horrible, the challenges did I do one? Did it even count? Also as James stated, would be nice to know how you unlocked calling cards/emblems without random guesses. The menu's/UI are ugly and distracting, so many pages of useless shit. Now I've passed level 55, I've to check the rank progression screen for more challenges. I said it already, no prestiges/calling cards/challenges to grind. I hit a quad feed earlier but of course the selected challenge is like the last one out of 12 I haven't even started. Hit a super kill last night with a VTOL Jet. If that was any other cod that's guarrented a cool calling card surely? Tried to do the perk set of challenges the last few days. Had 49/60 on the scavenger and it was wiped to zero. Tried warrior code last night but got reset twice. Since the patch earlier, warrior code is now letting me go onto the 2nd challenge, finally! It better be fixed somewhat now, it's giving me hope!

Tommy! Get me added bud it's literally been years. The "good old days" here is a flashback!

Alright, as this was requested, here goes. I want to be very clear that this is just what I do when I spawn in with nothing and other may do things differently or have additional tips. Alrighty then, as a fresh spawn in the land of Chernarus there's 2 things you want to find as quickly as possible. The number one thing is something to drink as you spawn with your thirst level at about half. So check every house you come across and any zombie you end up punching to death. The second thing you want to find is a melee weapon. It'll make it easier to kill zombies and should you run into a hostile player it might save your life. Bladed weapons seems like the better choice for zombies, doesn't matter if it's a Machete or a steak knife, they both do the same job. Knives also open canned food and gives you the most out of those cans besides actual can openers. (Any tool besides the can opener that you use will cause you to lose a bit of food.) Once you have those two things down. Start trying to get a backpack. Being able to carry supplies is important if you want to get away from the coast and backpacks are your best friends! The bigger they are the more shit you can carry, but that also cuts your stamina once you carry a lot of heavy stuff and you wont be able to sprint for as long. Once you have a backpack, start looking for food and medical items. Most of the medical items aren't much use if you are on your own, but Chlorine tablets and Tetracycline pills will save your ass as you can either purify even the filthiest ditch water with chlorine or cure the impending cholera you get for drinking said ditch water without purifying it by popping a Tetracycline pill. Once you've loaded up it's a good idea to start moving inland, I'd suggest having a map open on your phone or laptop next to you so you can navigate easier, look for signs just outside cities/towns and check the map on phone/computer to figure out where you are and where to go. There's always better gear inland than on the coast. I'd also suggest not sprinting, just jog around unless you HAVE to sprint to get away from a player, you can't sprint for an unlimited amount of time so be careful with it, it also burns drink and food levels much faster so again, don't do it unless you have to or you have plenty of supplies to get food and drink levels back up. Once you get inland I'd suggest going to places that have either hunting cabins or military areas or both. This is the best way to get geared up with weapons to defend against other players, clothing with more storage space, ammo, night vision goggles and more. These are usually high risk areas, but if you go about it with some care you should be good. Don't go to these places at night without Night vision goggles (NVG's) as there are a lot of zombies around and if there are other people around with NVG's... Well you're fucked. Do not forget to check your indicators at the bottom right of your screen, always keep an eye on your food and drink levels, as well as anything that indicates an injury or illness will pop up there. Quick stop in terms of clothing items again, your shoes/boots will get worn down over time, make sure you check them regularly or keep an extra pair on you as once they get to their "ruined" state, you may suddenly start bleeding on your feet, same goes for running/walking without shoes/boots. Also try to avoid sliding down ladders without gloves, you might also cut your hands and start bleeding. Also, if caught in the rain, you may get a water symbol in the bottom right, if you do, get to shelter. Once in shelter take your jacket into your hands and wring it out, same with your pants. This will stop you from getting a cold and possibly dying. I'd also suggest playing this with a group. There's a fuckton of running in this game and it's not so bad if you have people to talk with/run with while doing so. It's also nice as you don't need to carry ALL the things, you can easily split it up between the group and share it as needed. Finally, do not trust anyone. If you see a player always asume they will kill you for your shit. Not everyone will, but the majority will even if you have nothing as they are just cunts. So if you see another player, either avoid them, shoot them first or prepare to get in a fight. Hopefully this will get you to survive the intial 30 mins of DayZ and even more, if anyone else has tips, feel free to pitch in!

That’s the thing, I don’t want to watch anyone play it. I just need to take a chance and get it, I think I’ll enjoy it but it’s all down to the story. This might be a second hand buy again.

Like James says, it appears to be a bit marmite. That doesn't make it a bad game. I've been checking out people playing it live and I've got a better perspective. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I have a feeling this will be a live service. Microtransactions are planned too. I'll keep my eyes on it but I'm not feeling it like I thought I would.
