Honestly, this game is a 7.5 for me, but if you don't enjoy online competitive multiplayer then don't even attempt at buying or playing this game. It isn't for everyone. Even for those that do enjoy online competitive shooters, there might be a problem with redundancy and lack of content. So, for many, 7.5 may be way too gracious, even if this is their genre.

Even for those that do enjoy online competitive shooters, there might be a problem with redundancy and lack of content. So, for many, 7.5 may be way too gracious, even if this is their genre. For most, I would say this game is a solid 6.5 just due to sheer lack of content. There are maybe about 10 maps, give or take, and there are only two main game modes: one life or mixed objectives mode. In one life, you have one life. Self explanatory, yes, but all online modes are conducted in a three versus three format, where the first team to take 3 wins first gets the victory. If there happens to be a draw in a particular round, then both teams are awarded a half a point. So, if both teams win 2 rounds and then there's a draw, then the score would be 2.5 to 2.5. In mixed objectives mode, there are many different game types that are shuffled about to determine a victor. Just think of your typical competitive shooters. The list is as follows:
1. There's a kill confirmed (collars) round first to 15,
2. there's a team death match (respawn) round first to 15,
3. there's two briefcase modes (one has one briefcase that must be held onto by a team member or opponent for 60 seconds to win and the other where there are 5 briefcases and a team has to have all 5 in possession to win)
4. there's two DNA modes (one where its a special DNA strand from a mutated stronger zombie and one team has to collect 3 samples to win and one where its first to 60 regular zombie DNA strands)
5. there's a target hunter mode where you have to kill a specific target who will have a crown like shape over their head, also while trying to protect your partner who has the same crown from your opponents, first to 5
6. and finally there's domination which is just search and defend a specific spot in the map, 60 points takes a win IIRC
There's a 3 minute limit to all game modes, and the team with the highest score will win in each respective mode/round/match. That's the gist of the entire game. There's also a single player mode that's called "the experiment," which I haven't personally tried out just yet. With multiplayer, there are U-play awards that you get after doing something enough times (i.e. triple kill, or shotgun kills, etc.). The more you do of a specific award, the higher the medal you get. These bonuses will give you extra experience and help you level faster. The max rank is 60. Somehow, there's already a level 42. Probably someone who had early access or something, because no one is touching his score on the leaderboards. This game might get old to many who get bored easily or aren't into this kind of gaming genre. However, I found it quite fun and it is especially fun if you have a buddy or two to play with in the same squad as you. As with any other game, the more you rank up, the more you unlock goodies (equipment customizations).
NOTE: I experienced a pretty nasty glitch. R2 wouldn't fire for me, and it severely lowered my K/D ratio, and also hurt my W/L ratio. I now have to play left-handed to where I switched the controls for R2 to zoom in (aim) and L2 to fire. Nothing is wrong with either one of my controllers, and I suspect it might have something to do with how I downloaded this game on Saturday at midnight (Friday night, technically Saturday 12AM). It takes awhile to get used to, but after awhile if it happens to you and you have to switch this up, you'll get used to it. It didn't happen to anyone else I know and there are no other complaints that I could find on a Google/Bing search, so it might just be a few isolated incidents. Then again, this game only became playable about 8 hours ago.. So, here's a preliminary warning, I suppose.… Expand
