dude they could do different biomes if they have a good base mode it doesn't always have to be in the jungle they can have desert they can have snow they can have Woodland they can have swamp I'm very excited to see where they takeen in the future very excited I'm going to cover some gry on warfare stuff just real quick I just wanted to get my thoughts out this will be the feedback that I give to the devs as well but I played probably 60 or so hours of it uh I had a lot of fun with it for for an early Alpha Game really really good compared to other fully developed games like fully released games out of 10 when taken into consideration that it's an alpha 8 out of 10 and so you know pretty solid rating I don't think I've never given a game of 10 like there's no perfect game out there the games that have came closest would have been no multi there's no multiplayer game the only one that's probably broken a nine from multiplayer for me would have been Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 other games that would have been higher rating for me would have been the last of us The Witcher three like both of those two absolutely phenomenal mod Warfare 2 is up there as well defy mod Warfare Black Ops 1 Cod 4 Modern Warfare 1 like those three got pretty damn high ratings for me um I haven't played Red Dead Redemption 2 or one but I you know oh Halo 3 as well is up there yeah Halo 3 yep uh never played Battlefield back in the day but regardless no games gotten at Perfect 10 right uh so an 8i 10 is a pretty [ __ ] solid rating there are issues with it you know being Early Access or early Alpha obviously still a lot of room for growth on it and it's the best Alpha game I've played best early Offa game I've played hands down criticisms I have I think one the lack of PVP at times made it feel like a running simulator or a helicopter flying simulator kind of expected with with only having having invited streamers and you know streamers inviting some friends once it's a full relase game I think in in a higher population I think that there's going to be um more completely full servers and when it was a completely full server it was pretty fun and it was nice because the fights were kind of Ed it wasn't so much a 1 V one or a 1 V2 1 V3 and then over and done with and then you know however many minutes later you find another one like tarkov's PVP you can get pretty consistently a lot of times but the the fights on Grey Zone like when they were extended and you were fighting like a a faction it was faction vers faction there was times where they lasted like a damn near hour it wasn't so much like you versus the other faction it was your faction versus the other faction and you'd have backup and then you'd be the backup and then you'd have backup and then you'd be the backup up and and it was fun it it was a a battle that part was really fun there there was one specific time where I went in and it was just me and there was two different factions fighting I I was the solo on my my faction and dude I killed like 10 players and and it went from like um 40 to 40 minutes to an hour it was so much [ __ ] fun it was so much fun every single kill had me giggle I was gorilla Warfare in it because I I was outnumbered I'd go in pick up a kill run away and reposition go back in pick up a kill run away reposition it was so much fun dude um and then finally they just both factions stopped coming um I didn't get a single kill outside of the like in the helicopter Zone I I was fighting in the jungle it was fun but still when when I wasn't questing and I couldn't find PVP it was a running simulator and or a helicopter riding simulator and so certain servers having higher population I think would be good not all of them need higher population not everyone's into PVP and and they want it to you know they want to focus on other things other than PVP but having some servers where they're PVP oriented and it's 20 per server or 20 per action so 60 total or even 25 po per faction so it'd be 75 total I think would be fine that that'd be solid but a lot of times it was a running simulator or or a helicopter flying simulator and that's not too much different than tarkov's waiting times a lot of times on tarov you're playing a waiting a menu simulator you're you're in the menu you're kitting up recing for 5 to S minutes to die within a minute and then doing it all again and so like the helicopter rides I'd prefer over a blank menu screen or loading screen where you're just seeing uh waiting for players dot do do waiting for players do do do like that's you know the helicopter ride was was good now with that being said the helicopters need some work for one we we'll cover the landing zones The Landing zones way too commonly camped they they you you can't shoot out of the helicopter and as soon as you're getting off the helicopter there's a bunch of bushes and you you immediately get got and that was was frustrating especially if you know if you're having to wait for the helies to come pick you up and then fly over and all that and some things to fix that and I think they they will be working on it again all the all this criticisms for early Alpha and they plan on working it's realistic sure but we're playing a video game we're not actually in N you know what I mean we're playing a video game here some other points that that could help with that are realistic a minigun right you have helicopter cover uh let let it be a player controlled minigun and uh let me light the [ __ ] bushes up dude give me 100 rounds in a minigun and and it circles over the landing zone for 5 seconds and let me [ __ ] light the bushes up then uh or smoke grenades let let me Place some smoke grenades down beneath the heli and the smokes were solid um let let me get some smokes out some people recommended oh also different different X fills and infills because when you have the same infills and X fills a lot of times what would happen is I wasn't even camping an infill I was waiting for my xfill I was waiting for the helicopter to come pick me up and an enemy helicopter came in and dropped players off so like I'm sitting there of course I'm going to light them up because when my helicopter comes in and they hear it they're going to kill me going to it so like I drop them right um I'm not sitting there intentionally camping the infill but when you have the same infills and X fills it incentivizes it so um I think that they need to have different infills and X fills some people recommended a toxic Zone and the landing team has gas masks that that could potentially work some recommended a wildlife like you know a [ __ ] bear or tiger roam around the landing zones and if you camp them too long the tiger pushes to you and and tries to kill you but I think the smoke I think just having the helicopters help support would be big also being able to drop your character off early like if if okay you're flying into the infill and your teammates just got smoked there let me stop early and and hell out and then go in um or let me um have different ways to travel into the confrontation zones I.E other vehicles and you know the jungle was so dense that you're not really going off the road um with it it's it's a lot of road travel but still as long as there's more ways to travel than just helicopters that'd be important yeah so the um the hel's in general could use some work the landing zones specifically the helicopter system I think the the audio is too loud on the helicopters I know that's that's realistic but when when the majority of your player base mutes your game there's a problem right we're playing a video game and when I get on the helicopter and I can't hear my teammates on Discord and so I mute my game that's a problem tone it down a little bit let us be able to play music and here or music over over the helicopter um you can still have the helicopter noise and be it a little bit louder but um it still doesn't you don't even need in-game earplugs that's just too much just tone down the helicopter noise there's zero reason that it needs to be that loud in my mind ingame earplugs would work too sure I just don't think that it's a necessity it doesn't add any fun to the game no one's going to sit there and be like yo I'm really glad they have these helicopters super [ __ ] loud right even though that's how it is IRL no it doesn't add anything to the game but only takes away from it in my opinion the helicopter system in general you only can have four out and it can be very easily abused if me and three friends wanted to continuously call in helicopters during a fight to try to [ __ ] with the Enemy it takes away for my teammates being able to use them my my faction being able to use them and or if you just wanted people to troll they they're going to people are going to sit there and call helicopters to their uh location continuously every chance they get because they want to troll their faction into not allowing it um one accidental team kills going to piss someone off and they're going to sit there and troll the server and I don't think that's right so I think that a different helicopter system would would be ideal to where you have your helicopter and it could be called at any time but then you also have the problem of you have 16 people inter faction you can't have 16 helicopters going that's too much on the server and so one way to where like you know if you call a helicopter but end up not taking it that's a strike and if you get so many strikes then boom that you can't call helicopter for so long right um I'm not talking about like you call a helicopter and die but I mean like you if you go in and and you're intentionally trying to abuse it there's a strike B not bitching not bitching these are all my criticisms Fallen um I I think the game was phenomenal these are just my criticisms on what I would um recommend changing or or my thoughts of of where the game fell short but I thought gry Zone was really really good but yeah the hel system there's really in my mind there's no point in having no loading screens if you're just going to be constantly waiting on helicopters it it kind of defeats the purpose in my mind I like the helicopter ride over the loading screen but if if you're sitting there there was times where I had to wait damn near 10 15 minutes for a hel opter and I can play all day long not everyone can if you only have 2 hours to play and 15 minutes of is spent waiting on a helicopter that's an issue faction system as a whole I think they should scrap let me refr that scrap the faction system being locked to accounts I couldn't play with my best friend because he chose a different faction I don't think that's cool I I think that it's also can be easily abused because if I wanted to hop in a call with him he could very easily feed me information on where his teammates were and I could do the same and then we both clean up that's not that's not right right and so I think the faction system could be tweaked a little bit and it could be where um you can maybe have the ability to swap your faction after a certain amount of time every once a week or once every two weeks or even once every 24 hours or whatever right I think a better one is to not have it locked to your account at all and it's simply put to the server that you're playing on and that server when you first load into it you pick which faction you want to load into next time you play on that server you can pick a new one you know what I mean basically it's not locked to your account but they still have the factions in place I like that there was three different factions and you can have you know we we'll get to the world events and stuff like that but you can have those factions fighting over certain areas and when you control those areas you end up gaining more benefits for your Traders Etc but I think when you're locked into a faction and you can't play with your friends kind of sucks man because that's that that's the whole point playing video games man have fun and game with the homies and they they have a whole mechanic that makes that not possible the biggest fan of how the factions are placed in locked into accounts but I do like that the factions are there world events I think would be a lot more fun I think that uh that's obviously all these criticisms are with it being early Alpha in place and it's not like yo this is how you fix it but rather these are just suggestions and where I would maybe like to see additions to the game or or alterations because world events would just add in more incentive to utilize the full map outside of your bases and Quest points and if you have in this is basically what Russ does is they have a um world event that you can get high tier loot from then that's where that's where you get the high tier loot you know let's say Gil suit for example you can only get one and it's from that that world event and it's not always from that world event it could be a bunch of different ones you know badass guns or really good ammo or you know whatever you get them from the world event and you fight and your faction fights over for that world event I think an base defense or um assault event would be cool too where you know this faction has is is Waging War on this faction and uh there's no negative to it but you get uh reward for successfully Defending Your the base or you get a reward for successfully assaulting the base because some of the most fun I had was assaulting a base me and ghosty went up and sniped from the the top Hill and the other eight people that were on our team it was like landmark and Willers and all they assaulted the base [ __ ] was fun um and they successfully made it in the base and [ __ ] them up but the other team defended they ended up defending it and so like that would be cool um an actual like base defense and assault and and no negative like if you lose you don't lose anything other than the kit or whatever but the you can be rewarded for the win but world events I think would be healthy for the game and and it would be a lot of fun to have that happen faction identification is important right now I think it's just a bunch of placeholders right but the it was way too easy to team kill having to open a mini map to be able to tell if this person's on my team wasn't super ideal it worked for now but I think something simple as you know certain skins for each faction would be cool and or Compass up in the top portion of your screen if you have a teammate in your vicinity let's say 50 m you get the little blue marker that that there that's there and so if you end up spotting an opponent and you don't have a blue marker directly on in the middle boom that's enemy light them light them up um that could work armbands or something could too but I I think you know unique character skins cuz you you like csgo you got the Terrace you got the the counter terrorist or whatever unique skins even even both of it would work either way having an easier to identify faction markers would would be helpful because te too many team kills you get reported for it I accidentally team killed a few times I got team killed a few times so I think that that could be a bonus um audio fixes uh like I mentioned earlier helicopter was way too loud the ttis was the worst thing I've heard in a video game ever I know that's probably it's probably pretty similar how it sounds IRL but God damn dude whenever I got head shot and that my helmet tanked it that was terrible it was just the most annoying ringing sound I realize that's probably how it is IRL I'm playing a video game i' I you know I that's probably very triggering for someone that actually has ttis to tone that down a little bit cut it in half cut it in a third or to to a third and I think that that would maybe be more ideal because holy [ __ ] that was crazy bad um footstep audio of enemies maybe a tad bit louder I don't think it has to be extreme I don't think it needs to be 50 MERS out or 100 meters out I think that uh just a little bit louder um but not not by a whole lot I think overall the audio wasn't bad I think you could also do away with the the fly flying into my ear the rest of audio the the ambient noise I liked um but the fly buzzing in and out of your ear was annoying more so than adding anything to it it didn't add anything but took away from the game for me every once in a while maybe have a mosquito fly by your ear but it was way too much someone mentioned some more AI roaming the jungles I think that's that wouldn't be necessarily bad I think they had it around camps and stuff like that but having Patrol groups go around the map in through the jungles would be kind of cool after a while you don't really roam around the jungle you got your Landing zones and you land in those and then you rotate from there you know once they add and more world events and stuff like that not bad um some Wildlife I think would be cool again this is I'd also be okay without it but Wildlife would be cool vehicles would be cool um you could have Jeeps you could have uh ATVs and even maybe motorcycles and stuff like that dirt bikes but dirt bikes might be a little bit too much ATVs might be a little bit too much um I think mainly vehicles that need to stick to the roads would be cool transport Vehicles doesn't even have to be player controlled just like the helicopter you you can I'd be fine with player control too I wouldn't mind running around or flying around I think that'd be fine but basically just more ways to to travel Wildlife though you could have monkeys Tigers I don't know about snakes and [ __ ] I don't want to go too deep with it but H having the occasional like you run into a [ __ ] tiger and you got to kill them that'd be pretty crazy right um Crocs yeah like you got to worry about Crocs being in the river that that'd be kind of cool you can't cross here you got to you got to kill them or you know you end up maybe getting got by a Croc I'm also okay without it I if it's going to take way too much of the performance or anything like that no need it just adds more to the immersion basically though the game is really really good has a lot of promise and if they get down a good base game then the potential skyrockets majorly because just like Day Z dude they could do different biomes if they have a good base mode it doesn't always have to be in the [ __ ] jungle they can have desert they can have snow they can have Woodland they can have swamp so it doesn't always have to be in the jungle as long as they have a healthy base game that's fun to play there is so much potential you can have Urban Warfare it doesn't it doesn't always have to be in the jungle and so for them I I like the jungle warfare don't get me wrong but I could see where that could turn some people off not everyone wants all that foliage and so having different biomes would be huge dude huge but as a whole the game man I'm excited for it's the first looter shooter extraction based game in the genre that I that I'm like yeah this could go the distance outside of tarov this is the first one that I'm like it can go the [ __ ] distance it can do it I I don't think it's going to kill tarov I don't think it's a tarov killer I think they are different enough that it could stand by its own and both games can be successful just like fortnite pubg Apex war zone are still in the Battle Royale genre but they're all four different enough that they can stand on their own and one doesn't kill the other and so I don't think it's a tarov killer but I don't think it's a tarov killer I think both can do fine I don't even think it's all that similar to tarov honestly I think it's a lot more akin to Ghost Recon wildlands and Day Z and those two games had a baby and then it was influenced by tarov or has certain aspects of tarov the trader system and the gun modding and all that I think is is pretty similar I think a lot of that is still very early into early Alpha I didn't touch on a lot of that but you like the UI needs an update the hot keys for dropping weapons or changing out attachments and unloading a weapons stuff like that was was important that they can be addressed and sure there's a lot of that stuff that they have planned you know the healing system yeah all all was a placeholder the running animations placeholder um so once they adjust the placeholders which I'm I'm guaranteed they they have already thought of then yeah an ads since slider yep exactly like all all of those keybinds and all that they'll add that's right now it's early Alpha so it's a placeholder but as a whole five out of 10 for taking it Taking it into comparison versus other fully complete games 5 out of 10 8 out of 10 when you take into consideration that it's an alpha I'm very excited to see where they take it in the future oh also one more thing with uh the gry zone that I just remembered ads and the arm Stam and like being hold your breath was way too low like dude I I I was combating trying to hold my breath or aim a large percentage of the time whenever I was trying to fight opponents cuz it felt like my guy was always [ __ ] out of arm Stam or out of breath one of the two um that partially could have been CU I was sprinting around too much maybe they wanted to be slower and stuff like that but I think overall that it would they need to up that a little bit because I was combating ads or arm Stam or breath way too often
