I've been playing it. Serious fun, but you gotta be fine with losing everything. Right now its a KoS shitfest, but I actually made friends with 2 complete strangers, in the military base of all places. Held off 4 guys with a .22, a hammer, and a shotgun, while they had 3 M16s, and an AK. Granted, it was the first success story in a line of pathetic encounters in clearview and campos, getting shit on by everybody.
All games are dumb anyway. Its entirely who you play with and you're attitude toward it. Even the most glaring issues with the game so far have made it a fun experience though. Anybody else try to run down a steep hill yet? I instantly died while walking down a hill, and busted out laughing. One of the other guys I was with turns around and runs toward where I died to see what happened, and he died. So the 3rd guy calls us both retards and has to carry all our good stuff and crouch walk down a mountainside, almost parallel to the slope, stopping every 10 ft so he doesn't die.
