Impressions of H1Z1 after two days of Battle Royale.

So I figured I might as well make a short summary of my two days with the Battle Royale in H1Z1. 

So any bugs?
Yeah, like getting stuck in the wall unable to get out. It did not happen to me but to Bas, which makes it OK though ;)

Any hackers?
Probably. Sat in a bathroom, there should have been no way that they could know where we were hiding. And all of a sudden the door opens. Then without us hearing anything, seeing anything we were dead one by one. And a few other questionable events occuring. 

However, during the games a lot of people were banned for cheating. Which means they have some sort of control over it at least. Lets just hope that they add like some super system. Like Counter Strike has and DayZ had some software as well when I installed the game. 
Because this Battle Royale system they have. That is really something they can build something huge around! 

We want random maps for Battle Royale! Then it would be even better. 




Any other things you would like to add? Any positives perhaps?
Yea sure thing! It is freaking awesome! Being able to just click to join a quene to find a game of Battle Royale! 

I commented on it during a session earlier today actually. Like when I played Super Mario Bros 3 about 18 years ago I would have never imagined these games to exist in the future. It is freaking SCI FI but it is happening for real!
Freakishly huge open world games with insane graphics where some views could sometimes fool people into thinking they were watching a video or a photo from real life.

So basically, the potential for this game is ridiculous. It can really be something huge in the future. Maybe hard to be a competitive pro scene, but huge tournaments would definitely draw a hugh audience due to the excitement of the game. 
Like the tournament Twitch will have for their streamers at the TwitchCon. It is only Early Access and there is still a huge tournament which I am sure will be watched by sooo many people.



Have I finished 1st in any of the battles yet? No, but there have been a few top 4 spots already after 2 days. And to go top 10 is not such a big problem. At the moment there are so many things about the inventory and how you can interract with the world that is the hardest part.
I love the fact that you can use so many different tactics. You can go to the centre of the map and start to shoot people instantly. You can go to the woods and chill out, waiting for people to kill each other or just hit the edges of the map for some privacy and houses to loot.

The fact that you can't see your teammates on any minimap allows you to get a few good laughs every now and then as well. Sometimes you will meet in a doorway, panic and kill each other. Perhaps it is just me, but that is entertainment!
