Last time I played it I had all the top-tier gear and sustainable food and water within like an hour of booting up. Then I spent about an hour running along a railway until I realized that there were much better uses of my time that don't involve running across an infinitely boring and empty map waiting to get shot by some douchebag I can't see. forget this game.
Besides the constant 30 minute run from NWAF to p much every area near the coast I think its p fun, especially if you're in a group
And I think losing your gear actually gives you something to do
Well it sucks tough, I lost 2 fully geared AKMS with a stuffton of ammo and very good gear, I even had 3 batteries for forgets sake.
