I used to play War Z, then I took hackers spawn camping me for an hour-to the knee.

Your talking about a game that was abandoned such a long time ago. Pre-2014 It was insane how full servers were. Deveolopers? Absolute trash, but to the OG players (summit1g included) this was an absolute gem. The game you are showcasing was a desparate attempt at a reboot and nothing more than a mere emulator. The game itself was in very bad shape but thats not what created the experiences. We are talking about an era when the GTX 690 was considered king of the crop, 16 gigs of ram? Never heard of her. 80% of the playerbase was still using a HDD. Is the graphics, gameplay, mechanics outdated? Absolutley, so is Counter strike source lol its 2023. If you werent in clearview rocking a custom gurellia and a Tar21 or Saur while you waited for the clan to load in at one of the 7 "random" spawn points then you absolutley missed out. Nothing like farming norad mili for the chance at a weapon box with a possibility at a m107.

There is something about horrible games that makes me want to play them.

I was thinking I recognised this game but a different name!! Thanks for that

I can't believe I played this when it first came out.

Man it's amazing, the hate for this game is so ingrained in me that after years of not touching it, I recognized it IMMEDIATELY when the zombie noises started at 0:23. Those are like 4 of the 8 zombie noises they have in game hahahaha Your final thoughts were spot on btw. This game, "The War Z" as originally called, came out during the DayZ era boom, so a lot of people tried it out since there weren't many other alternatives. However the game was extremely unpolished, uninspired and filled with hackers, and every slow update they put in, only worsen the game experience. Fun to play though, in a way that fast food is tasty, but I would never give a cent to the devs.

If i remember correctly Newz started as an emulator/priv server of WarZ/ISS and the people behind it were completely unrelated to the company that is responsible for making the actual game, models, engine, etc. NewZ was going to fix what the original devs didnt/couldnt do, the original Infestation Survivor Stories closed and they sold the ISS rights to NewZ making them legit. The funny thing is that one of the main devs is partly responsible for killing off the game because he made free public cheats for the game, one version of his cheat had over 35k downloads.

Let's not forget that this game was originally called The War Z but the name was changed and the studio rebranded it after the huge scandal of them blatantly stealing people's money

WarZ. I remember when this came out riding the wave before DayZ stand-alone came out. Devs putting fake screen shots for advertisements, and banning people from their forums for criticizing their support. An update that caused your screen to blackout when shooting. But for all it’s flaws and absolutely horrible optimization. It was fun. When you killed a character it was a literal hour respawn timer to make it “hardcore”.

I bet if you bought that rusted armor pack from the store it would give your character tetanus and they would die from it 😂 Great work as always my friend! 🍻

Yep. Yep I was one of the earliest buyers of this game. I was younger. More naïve. I can, if nothing else, say it taught me to be more discerning, as it was one of the first game purchases I genuinely regretted. New things I noticed: Lootboxes. Tutorials. Lockout timer. NPC survivors. Enemy NPC survivors. Bandit Camps. Combining health with the mini-map. claimable territory. Loading screen ads. Discord. A universal skill tree as opposed to class based.

back in the days when it was called Warz / Infestation: survivor stories and summ1t and dakotaz used to stream this , it was one of the best games literally, pvp, pve everything about this game, aspect of global inventory/stash and trading was so addictive and good , this - NewZ is pretty much dead but trust me boys, back in the golden age 2013-2015 it was amazing even tho the "og" staff and devs of this game were scammers and there were lot off p2w things, there was something really magical about this game, who knows - knows

I remember trying this a whiel back. Cost me 2quid. I joined a server with like 2 players onto get my bearings. Within a few minutes, two heavily armoured high level players, shot me in the back and stole my starting gun and food. I tried again. This time joined an empty server with a new player, no starting gun this time, just a bar of chocolate. Again two heavily armoured players joined, drove up to me in thier jeep killed me and stole my bar of chocolate. Never played it again since. Players on this game are toxic. Setting up ambush points outside safe zones to kill and steal people stuff they spent real money on.

Felt like i was watching a documentary about a horrible Mmo i like your style you got moxxi you got another subscriber keep it up.

Awsome video mate ! Love it ! I don't know why but somehow i got the feeling that this MMO is really something that One should be stay FAR AWAY from ! 😂😁

I Cannot even TELL YOU The level of Desperation i feel, knowing i missed out on Countless "Infestation: Survivor Stories" Battle Passes.. All the Amazing looking Armor/Gear ive missed :( now how will i stand out and look cool to the games 0 other players?!

Good god this game I was 16 when this game came out and dayz was the new hottness and surgei tartkov wasnt the known boogie man to games he is now. One of my most sameful purchases right next to Brink.

Oh I remember the controversies at the time. The unkept promisses, the name changes and rebrands. I think it got removed from steam at some point.

I really love your humour! I chuckled several times during this video xD

I got the founders edition of this game back in the early 2010s. I miss this game but hackers ruined it. It's more if a PVP based game that you loot and drop off the loot at a "Safe Zone" into your global inventory. Was WarZ before it was ISS played it for 6-10 hours every day. Pretty much the objective of the game was to hunt down players and take their loot to stash on your inventory. Loot was really rare to find when the game first came out.

I remember buying this game back before they changed the name and had just come out. I quit the game because I quite literally couldn't get into a single server without a cheater

Lmao I played this back when it was WarZ with 2 friends and we stayed up till 6am, 3 days in a row in its alpha back in what.. 2012 or 13? It was honestly a stupid kind of fun. Then it was turned to shit. This is nostalgic as fuck, and not surprised Sergey Titov is still trying to rip people off haha

Awesome. Uploads seem a bit more frequent 😏😉. That's a really good thing. Hopefully it carries on hehe. Love every video my dude 😊. Also I've never even heard of this game 😂😂

This game entertained my underdeveloped primate brain back when it was WarZ, simpler times those were.

i have this game. i got stuck in a rockey hill that wasnt fully finished. so half of it was just not there and i could see through the map. i stopped playing after that

Honestly surprised this video is so short, usually when I watch these they are 40+ minutes

I remember playing this when it came out. I was but a young teenager at the time and was somehow gripped by it for a total of around 24 hours I'd wager. It has barely changed in 10 years. The animations, weapons, enemies (aside from the alien mutants and bandit AI) and world map are all the same. I'm really surprised the game's still up at all

Idk what surprises me the most...that this game stil exists or that it looks even worse than it did when it first came out. Can't believe that I once was hyped for this game when it was announced and first came out...but the naive little me would never have thought of something like a scam back then

5:58 The vehicle timer, LOL 7:31 🤣

What about maybe covering ArcheAge? I played it for the shortest amount of time when it came out because it wasnt really any of the things I thought it was. I would love to see what its like now and your take on it :)

Oh god I forgot about this flaming dumpster fire... I played it back when it was called The War Z....

Tabula Rasa had similar issues. It was the first attempt at a Shooter MMO, and it marketed the ability to hot-swap your specializations (hence the game's name). But it was basically empty with the only enemy content being either hilariously easy or impossibly hard to beat. There was no difficulty scale. You either wiped the floor with a patrol of enemies, or they two-shot you in seconds.

I used to play this as a little kid but I swear it was under a different name. Regardless of how good/bad it is I'm just glad to be able to see it once more

This "game" was quite a hilarious roller coaster back then. I remember when they had to change the name due to the movie, when they claimed the game was in development WAY before DayZ even confirmed the standalone version and most hilariously, when they'd grab the WarZ assets and keep on releasing crappy games that looked exactly the same. This was quite a time in gaming, thanks to the "beauty" of early access...

Omg this was an absolute blast from the past. It took me a minute to realize I had even played this game because it rebranded itself so many times in quick succession after the backlash it got from the developers lying about the development of the game combined with what they delivered. The game was just a bad rip off of other better games getting popular at the time, and during Dev logs they just straight up lied about what was in their game and the things they were doing. Then when found out for their lies and how bad the game was, they renamed the game to try to dodge the bad PR. I'm honestly utterly shocked this game is still around in any capacity a decade later. But it's hilarious to see how little improvement it's had in that amount of time. Thinking how many full fledged games could be made in a decade by even a small indie studio, compared to this atrocity that after whatever amount of initial development time it had, then early access, and 10 years later and it's STILL not even a functional game. Of course instead of actually making the game any better they just half ass shoved in popular game modes as they got popular, the same way every bad dead game did. And double down on microtransactions for a game that was less than under delivered and never will be a finished product. I can't fucking imagine the mindset of the people playing this. There are literally so many options online of things to play even like this and yet they chose this game. Just fucking whyyyyy?

>cheater everywhere in a perma death system where you loose all your loot >game costs back at release like 30€ or something, showed pictures of people car driving, having proper missions etc. complete garbage. had at release i think only flashlight and hammer, pistol, shotgun and some other reused assets they had from another game they made.

WarZ was what made me love survival games. Eventually ended up in tarkov and now since tarkov is also struggling I finally came off the survival drug. Until the next big game probably.

I could've sworn this game used to be called something else, but ended up rebranding to escape some kind of horrible reputation...

I tried this game a few years ago, and rage quit after getting killed over and over by spawn campers on almost every server, and being auto kicked from the server when you die having to wate up to 20min to rejoin

thanks dude! i now feel bad for having +1,5k hours of game time in this game.

We love it when you go into mode mode!

I am ashamed to admit I’m a Day 1 player of this one. A few Spanish KZreadrs promote it a bit back in the day (no idea if it it has paid promotion or not) but it seemed like DayZ but not being a mod. My teenage ass paid 40 whole dollars for the special whatever the f*ck edition that included some in game currency I believe that could buy nothing really and a few extra ultra basic guns. Guns that, due to the way this game was a “”survival hardcore you die you start from scratch” kind of deal. YOU LOST YOUR gun if you died with it. For ever. Just like that. I never dared to equip it. Oh and I have no clue today. But on day one, no vehicles. Just jogging across killometers just to get sniped as soon as you got to a city. And the loot was comically low. I’m talking a hammer and some granolas after 5 h of exploring. I was even worried I would never get better at the gun play because I swear I never touched a real gun for the first week I played. All that said… my mates and Me had a blast with it for way more time it had any right to. I some how have 46h in this game (most of them running to a city doing nothing with a rubber holding down the W key being honest) I guess my standards for games were way lower when I was a teen.

LMAO Oh man, I had no idea this game was still around! Years ago when it came out, like within the first month, back when it was called The War Z, I would run around the map picking up all the M4's and the big magazines. After a week of doing this, I had 100's of guns. So many that killing people and getting killed wasn't fun anymore. So I sold them on ebay. It was SUCH a good time!

I actually enjoyed playing this back when it was called WarZ, before all the hackers appeared. It wasn't the best game ever but it was fun enough for the time it was released.

Lmao! "Jumping Johoshaphat!"

I played this game pretty actively until like 2 months ago, its a bad game for sure but it had a weird charm to it but sadly it has nearly no playerbase and the small base that is there likes to use hacks so I stopped playing due to that.

Was among the first players back when it was called war z. Funny to see this is still around,i stopped playing around the time they named it Infestation survivor stories and Sergei titov went away with the money to buy some starköl. You can be happy that there isnt much pvp anymore,back then almost every player used hacks and stuff. Was a fun time,but im happy its over,still feels like the endless alpha version zombie game it was back then. Just with a bit more odd stuff tagged on :D

This game used to be so good, and I mean from when it launched (2012) to early 2014, then after that it went down hill. This review only talks about what it is now not what it used to be, but that aside a very accurate review of the game currently.

Back when this game was WarZ, if you happened to be going down a mountain and your character slips and slides down, you got instantly kicked for speedhacking.

a suggestion for another MMO to play, either to do videos on or in private. the MMORPG = TERA is really fun, since you seemed to like SWTOR i´d highly suggest TERA since those two are my all time favorive MMORPGs ^^ hope you see this MM .

I yearn for the day Galactichad returns. A simple dream to cling to dont u think?

PVP via ingame chat is a step up from stealing off people who aren't online.

I bought H1Z1 at $40 only to be told later down the road that the game would be "free-to-play" model, not buy-to-own as advertised. Then they changed the name of game and deleted everyone's account. Good time, 5/10.
