Ok, So I thought I would just post this in case someone has seen people playing this and wondered what the heck it is. Below is a synopsis "in a nutshell" of the game:

 

This is basicly what it says it is. It is a king of the hill type game. You start by jumping from a plane over a large landmass. there are buildings and cities scattered all over the map and once you jump from the plane you need to search the buildings and find weapons either melee, handguns, semi auto rifles, shotguns, or sniper rifles as well as backpacks body armor etc to help you survive. Then comes the fun part there is a "safe zone" surrounded by a electric field that holds poison gas at bay. As time goes on this safe zone decreases in size and then the field moves in thus restricting the available play area corralling players into an ever decreasing play area and increasing body count till the last player/group is left standing. 

 

The graphics have not been optimized and there are a few bugs but this has to be one of the just plain old fun games I've played in a while. It is relatively easy to pick up and rewards tactical play. While kills are fun I have found that its best to avoid outright contact until later in the game and even then to wait until players come to you as it gives you a distinct edge. No one really gets pissed about dying and its just fun. 

 

If you want a game with the tactical play of ARMA and the shootem up of BF I would definitely suggest this game. Its in pre release on Steam for like 30 bucks and is updated frequently. I will say that while it's basicly a beta at this point it plays very well and has relatively few bugs and is stable. I can't wait for the graphics overhaul. Its built on the Unreal Engine 4 and each solo round consists of 98 players, duo(2 player teams) has 50 teams, and squad play (4 players) has 25 teams. Insanely fun and really good for promoting teamwork. i suggest ya try it if you want something you dont need to invest time in.

Yeah this game has been getting a lot of attention too. Both EA and activision are watching. It is a PC exclusive. Made for PC by PC players.

 

I hope it does well and shows both activision and EA that PC gaming is not dead, their games just suck.

They have actually confirmed a Console port as well.

Is it first person shooter?  Cant tell from the vid.

From what i hear you can switch between the two modes but havent tried.

 

from Steam:

 

I'm not sure about at the Early Access stage but eventually there will be Hardcore servers where 1st person is forced.
