short answer: it's been dead for years and the developer put it on life support rather than addressing its numerous core issues, it's just that trading bots and degenerates have been inflating player numbers and trying to keep the marketplace stable for personal gains.
im confused, i have 2000 hrs in unturned, ive yet to watch the video but i cant actually think of a single issue with the game apart from the fact its dead
@@butlazgazempropan-butan11k87 i mean theres a lack of updates but i havent experienced any problems with bots and rarely find cheaters only thing i dislike is that nelson fixed getting under the map
Played a disgusting amount of Unturned back in the day and I can honestly attest to the RP servers being a large part of the downfall for Unturned as well. Largest part of responsibility falls for sure on the donor kit servers starting to get more and more popular but it was also the RP servers that were taking player base out of the proper servers. I miss semi-vanilla servers quite a bit, a simple kit or two with very basic gear and tpa access. It gave servers a slight bias towards pvp without tipping the scales too far into the madness, just enough to keep things active and competitive.
Last time I played was about a year ago and I could scroll through the server list and find less than 10 "vanilla" unturned servers while everything else has kits and vaults and TPA and all the stuff that completely negates the survival aspect of the game and turns it into a sort of BR game.
@@zachgaines8349 2 months back i had a vanilla server and sometimes it got players but rarely. At the height it was only 7 players at one time. I had no reason to keep paying hosting so i abandoned it.
I remember that too, I haven’t played the game for years but I used to run a small private server with friends in unturned 2.0 and 3.0. I remember trying to get back into the game after a long break and I couldn’t find any populated vanilla servers which pretty much killed my desire to play the game on public servers
No new maps with proper Lore, all new maps are curated maps centered on PvP ... Miss the old days of descovering what happend with this virus, how every country or state reacted to the outbreak. I thing that the map making community should start focusing on LORE much more.
It's the lack of game creator and his puppets lack of IQ, not new maps or lore. Lore is marginally appriciated in the community anyway, new maps are half good half bad - but management of the game and how it is ''sold for free'' to those curated content creators with no idea how to provide good content - it makes situation bad.
I quit because the new curated maps are so PVP Focused, the only maps i enjoyed would be Kuwait, Arid and the european town thing? They were unique, but in the end, its like a hotel. They had something new or unique, but in the end, it doesn't feel new or better. The zombies felt repetitive, there was little to no challenge at all and you didn't have the same feeling of the threat of death in games like Project Zomboid
TBH the reason why i haven't came back to the game is because how the game has become bloated and unoptimized that i can't even play it comfortably in single player.
Is that so? That explains the terrible experience I had when I tried to replay the game last year. Could barely run it at 5fps even though I was getting 40+ fps a four years prior. Thought my PC just got worse
@@KalakCZ of course. It's a simple work pc that I've been running for 6 years. Good enough to play most of my games so I never bothered upgrading it. But I did increase the ram and changed the hdd. Any more upgrades would require me to buy a whole new pc
@@KalakCZ used to get around 230 fps on medium setting 6 years ago, now i barely get 45, i was playing on russia and actively get lag spike, it honestly so sad seeing the state of the game. Something that i put nearly 4k hours in of my childhood.
Escalation is the best map we've gotten in a while, but at the same time, I wish Nelson would drop official updates and maps like he used to do back in the day. I also saw someone comment about how Unturned's lore was a more critical part of the game and how they miss "discovering what happened with this virus, how every country or state reacted to the outbreak." I agree; after Elver came out, Unturned got a lot more fantasy stories and maps. That's not a bad thing at all, and I like it, but I can see how it became too much of a departure from what Unturned was initially for some people. If Nelson tried, he could revive his franchise, but honestly, he doesn't have an incentive to do so. He makes enough money. I think the announcement of Unturned 4.0 killed this game; everyone left the community because they were waiting for Nelson's new game, which would eventually be postponed indefinitely.
@@zman1064 I completely agree, a lot of the curated maps feel detached from the lore which nelson set out regarding the outbreak but also I feel that official support to the multiplayer such as dedicated official servers with no plugins and a complete redesign of the server browser would greatly help as in my 200 something hours I only just found out about how to sort by descending player sizes something which would definitely be hard for new players
@@zman1064 Meanwhile it's brain rotting balance, boring medium size map and loot balance and items usefullness as bad as you don't even care if you go there and loot it. Escalation as all maps extending far too much beyond vanilla style are just pointless. Danaby2, Renaxon and their femboy cult enjoyers should be deep sleeping for quite a while.
For anyone here for information about why the game is dying and not boring information about it's mechanics: Starting from 2022 Nelson (dev) starting to make a lot of changes community didn't wanted. Here's some examples: Forced grass graphic parameter that destroyed fps for people on bad PCs (according to some of my folks). 3rd person nerf (everybody wanted maplestrike to be nerfed, not the 3rd person. Also, this change killed some modded maps balance, like France that had guns with pretty balanced guns (like herstal)) Besides all that, he also did anti pay to win policy and after a month completely abandoned it (I even made a huge list of p2w servers that I reported back in the days, and only thing I've got was the message saying "you've miss understood the rules" (Even though most of the servers were EVEN SELLING /ITEM AND /VEHICLE)) All these changes made people quit and helped p2w servers to become swarmed with kids willing to pay money for kits and chat commands to gain stuff. So, should you go and play unturned? No, not in its current state. I wish if there would be some independent project that would start developing this game starting from the movement update, because it was one of the last good updates we gained. I have more than 5k hours in this game, trust me, it's not worth it anymore.
I was 12 when I started this game now I do videos on it lmao, it's an honest shame that this game is dying cause I've loved it for 8 years. I still continue to support the game and creators any way i can
An aspect I find that disinterested me from playing Unturned much is the lack of Vanilla additions. Almost every new major update is a curated map that hardly uses any of the vanilla systems. Hell, the weapon skin system is no longer unique because half of the popular servers and curated maps don't even use the vanilla weapons. "Ooh I unboxed/crafted a cool weapon skin; I sure hope I find the weapon on the new map :)". I used to get really interested when a new vanilla map was coming out or new vanilla items, now I just see a new curated map and see if they make use of vanilla stuff. Also the heavy focus on PvP in this game really soured the original concept of being a Zombie Survival game. Oh I wish for an update that adds even more zombie types or even enhancing how the zombies work.
I myself dont have a problem with curated maps being well curated but they should improve the whole Zombie Apocalypse part of the game, Zombies are just a loot drop and not a danger at all in this game
@@markom7841 in my opinion curated maps have higher quality than whatever official unturned stuff that comes out, i however still dislike the heavy PVP focus
It is since 2021, now it's just more visible as around 85% of the ''player base'' are literal bots or just players sitting on some empty servers / singleplayer.
Its dying because unturned ISNT a survival game at all, atleast not on most servers. Hunger and thirst are not a concern, because food is everywhere. All of the servers feature cheap shit like /teleport to friends, are on easy mode, and the loot is so abundant you are never in need of anything... I dont see any hardcore servers... But however you tweak the game, i think the issue is just with its design. With time this game has devolved into a watered down hybrid of Day-Z and Rust, when it should've just tried to be unique on it's own right. Its not a survival game in its current state, its more of an arcade or "lite" version of the two aformentioned games; But everything is SO so much faster... You can go from naked on the shore to full spec-ops gear in 30 minutes if you know what to do... Its too easy and its just stale. Needs more beefy progression, you can "beat" unturned and see everything there is to see in a matter of hours. You can experience low end, mid, and high end PvP gunfights all in that short time, that it hardly feels like an accomplishment to reach those peaks.
there is, i made a server for me and my friend only which you can join only through a code, and which was literally hosted on my computer you could check, the methods i used can be found in game (that being SDS's article about making servers)..
I was excited an waiting for the new Unturned because it was going to bring the game up to date. Then Nelson just dipped. That's the biggest reason no one plays anymore, he just stopped updating it.
the thing imo is that it became a low budget robloxed 2019 fortnite, no one cares about the actual survival part which is the whole point of the game, the game itself IS fun, it is very good, it's just that the community ruins it i played yesterday with my friends (both new to unturned), gathering loot together, helping each other and slowly progressing is very fun, a lot of people say that "Unturned isn't fun the way it is supposed to play, PvP is much better", idk about that, because coordinating your friends to explore the tunnels on Russia and having everyone turning the lights off by accident and shooting pistols blindly for a couple of seconds was one of the most fun moments i've had in my 20 years of gaming, the game itself is good (in fact, we are going to play tomorrow with 4 more friends) you just gotta play it right btw PvP in this game is also very fun on PvP oriented servers, but the way PvE is underapreciated is just unfair
My 2 cents are these: It died because of the server admins and the pvp focused community As for the server, admin abuse was rampant in the few servers i used to play, and things got to a point where that limited the fun. Only being able to have one base, unable to build on vehicles, which used to be so fun as people would have vehicle base pvp. The fact that the owner of a server liked a group made it so they could teleport into places and ignore rules. Fun fact, the admin turned out to cheat on his wife with a minor he had recluited as an admin. And then the pvp. The game i feel like is best without hypercompetitive players wiping the entire place just because they feel like it. The game is so focused into pvp in fact you'll won't find a server where you can't start playing at all. Back when a group of mine had dominance on server, we wouldn't raid anyone until they had a certain progress, like metal bases, helis. Now you can't even make a wooden base larger than 1x1 because it WILL get raided. In short, s**t admins, and the community focusing on pvp. I'll forever miss the times where me and my peeps would try to loot a city on a rainy night irl and in game, or host pvps and talks in our makeshift gun store
waiting on people to build better bases is so true... I remeber raiding every base with my friend and we would have to legit have to wait on people to build stuff for us to raid. All you needed was a heartbreaker on washington and the game was complete
unturned was like one of the games I played very back then. The memories I have are good that the Memory Reboot moment in this video was soo well fitting
You triggered my nostalgia. Choke on my subscribe. I will instal that thing again and make my friends play it. Will come back to yell at you if it sucks!
For some reason, I would always return after a few years. I play on a totally random server, accidentally become friends with some random dudes. We start grinding, gaming and of course, goofin´ around. We form a deep friendship, I tell them they can join my huge friend group. _Cycle repeats_ _(That's why I have 940 Hours in the game, and I still absolutely suck at PVP. )_
I started playing Unturned back in 2015 and have bit over 2000 hours on it. It will always have a special place in my heart. To this day I sometimes play it. I also met my best mate on it.
my answer: my friends and I played it a lot (I even have 1,300 hours in the game from running servers), but we grew out of the game. We want to make a new server soon, but in the testing phase trying to find a map, the game just felt stale. I kinda wish they continued dev on Unturned 2.
Quick answer is that, the game was much better on literal release, by adding so many weird stuff, including those giant zombies that run at you with the speed of flash, if ur online, people just fight each other, it's like Rust but worse becauase everything is blocky and weird, servers aren't exactly high quality and it's just overall messy.
i believe what led to this is the game losing its identity, catering more to pubby kids who dont know anything about advanced game mechanics who's main focus is PVP rather than being an actual survival game where you need to fight against hordes of zombies luckily though since the game is free and can be played offline its still quite fun solo and you can create your own server for free that caters to the survival aspect of it one thing I would love to be added here is AI Bot Bandits
Ty for bringing back a memory. I used to play it with my friends when I was younger and man, it was fun. I tried to come back but the game was full of RP servers, pvp, creative and the most vanilla thing were servers with x5 or just straight pvp kits, when I finally find one of course the server was dominated by a ten man clan always online camping military base, we manage to raid their base but it was pointless some of them had donator kits so we decided just to quit the game. I loved playing on vanilla or semivanilla with starter kits and tp, but right now it is almost impossible to find a server like this with active players. At least I have good memories, I miss the earlier unturned days but sadly its over I dont want to come back.
Its got Zombies Looting Map editor Sweet threads to combine and make outfits with Racism (gotta have that) Base building Lore Overall i think it doesnt have enough homophobia
well the game is just flawed in general, normally losing progress in games is actually a fun mechanic because it gives tension to every fight but in here its just stress. Its fun to lose minutes to an hour of progress in a roguelike but its not fun to lose days or even weeks worth of progress no matter what so any fights are just super stressful and not fun and that coupled with the VERY small time to kill in this game AND the fact there is no where on the map you can put your items where they will be safe because offline raiding is a thing and you get a recipe for disaster, I dont know how you never saw any exploiters during your playtime but anytime I tried to play it it was completelly infested with cheaters. The only time I ever had fun with this game was when modders put in a battle royale gamemode but that gamemode is completelly dead now so I cant even play it anymore...
Yeah, personally I had most fun in vanilla unturned server when in holidays. In normal days its impossible to play it due to offline raids, which imo is kind of part of the fun as me and my friends take turn in guarding base. But idk if other games have addressed these issue in a way where its both fair for the base owner / raider.
Problem with unturned is that it attracts a few new players and even after they decide to try it out there's a huge chance they'll just bail because the game has a fuckton of quit moments for example seeing the atrocious UI in which a new player has million ways to lose where tf are they. that's a part in which almost any survival game bests unturned in cuz if you open rust or dayz let alone minecraft you will be able to navigate the ui smoothly after like 4-10 hours and the ui doesn't overwhelm you, also the graphic style doesn't appeal to everyone because it's a weird hybrid of minecraft and idk
Unturned is genuinely one of the most fun games for me with its social chaos, and also one of the most played too. Albeit haven't played as much recently and don't know about alot of the current problems. but as others pointed out some of the RP servers are quite problematic currently especially the ones leech off people's money. Absolutely loved some RP servers though the chaos was unmatched. Nelson really needs to bring back the official content updates that added so much stuff with new maps and Unturned's ingame lore should be continued upon as well. It was fun to piece together the story and see people's theories. (Curator maps like Elver and Escelation are great though). The wave of P2W servers, smaller and sometimes negative changes suck, but lets keep hoping and even try to keep this gem of a franchise alive.
Something that I think made me like unturned more is that it was repetitive. I only played singleplayer and I never used any kind of mods. As an autistic person I think it was because I liked the routine.
I play unturned to this day since 2016, its on my most loved games list :) Edit: it seems that the game maps sadly wont get lore anymore since some years back... (I don't remember when it happened right now, but it was announced some years ago)
The last time I played this game was a few months back, the nostalgic memories of playing a game I sunk thousands of hours into both on both pc and Xbox. Unfortunately my Xbox broke in a move but my pc was still working so I booted up unturned and got a decent 3 hour session on.....or I would have if 20 minutes into a game, unturned decided my Made by me pc with damn near God specs wasn't enough to handle the game. My 4000 dollar gaming rig now sits up in my closet.....collecting dust as it can't even turn on anymore
i have 3500 hours of gameplay on unturned, i fell in love with the 2.0 game in 2014, and i've been playing on and off ever since. It's a kind of free version of rust with zombies pretty much. I'm not very into pvp oddly enough (and the game seems to have shifted towards a full pvp style), but the way you can build on cars and design bases opens lots of doors for fun gameplay
The most recent big update made it so much more tedious to find servers and try out different multilayer experiences without knowing exactly what you were looking for for me
i really miss old unturned when i would have fun with friends now i barely play anymore because the game just got boring and most servers are just p2w. but you did describe unturned really well.
This game used to be fun, hoped after the launch a few years ago that there were new stuff. Turns out it barely changed at all. I still have a fond memory of discovering the giant mutant titan and shitting myself after it chased me
the problem with vanilla is the skill system It needs to be completely re-hauled or removed entirely, it ruins the game and the feeling If he did that, and then maybe made progression feel a bit more fun, it would work out
Ive absolutely loved playing this game and wayyy too many hours put into it. In my opinion one of the biggest issues was there is a lack of spreading of information how to use various tools for the games code when map making, as well as a huge lack of development regarding the pve and zombies. Now the game is almost entirely just full pvp servers
I started unturned again 2 weeks ago after not playing for like 8+ years, and honestly I've had so much fun trying maps like RUSSIA, WASHINGTON and ARID in vanilla/semi vanilla with my friends, and there is always servers where u can play on with 20-50 and 50-100+ players. 5/5 I'd recommend!
I used to dream that one day i will play this game again with my friends and cousins without worrying my fps to drop while the graphics are set on high res. This dream was set back in 2015, and still hoping for it.
i was 9 years old, i watched my favorite youtuber play this game and invited viewers to download and make a big group. I discover steam and download my first ever pc game on a potato pc. History was made 10 years ago.
Unturned gameplay: Spawn in, loot, die from a player out of nowhere, respawn. Loot, build a base, log off for a few hours, log back on into your raided base, repeat
I think a major issue overall is the reliance of the "survival" tag. The only thing separating it from a zombie shooter is the durability system that no one uses because it's annoying, the food & hunger system which is bypassed super easily, and the "lose things on death" mechanic that is more annoying than anything to at least myself. I think it would be very neat to go into a single-player-Tarkov style game, or at least introduce some maps with it in mind.
Unturned is just too easy imho. I can just go onto servers and easily get the materials I need to raid the majority of the bases on the server (not actually have enough to raid them all but most bases can be raided with the equipment) in a few hours of playing. Getting a full metal base that is well defended is so difficult. The only way to guarantee your base not being raided is to be online when it happens but then they will just gather their supplies and come back when you are offline as they know who you are now. This applies to vanilla as I don't enjoy modded servers. Tldr: too easy to get raiding supplies and too difficult to make a strong base
this brings back memories. I usually use to play on creative servers since im not the most keen on pvp stuff but I loved making big manacial things or flying planes and the game just had that charm to it, blocky, simple and fun. this was a while ago though, long enough for my mythic hat to plummit from 20ish eur to 7
This game was my childhood, and it pains me to see it be neglected so much. As of writing this, I have 2,122.7 hours on my main account and 794.7 hours on my alt.
main issue are community commucation, there's quite a lots of good project/mod didn't get a good way to being noticed. plus the main game has content support issue(kinda) so things are not going totally ok sofar
but again, nelson tried to makes some features for creators. and some a bit of game tweak. if he didn't turns back in 2019 the this game gonna died earlier than today
back then unturned was a great game cuz in its own aspect it stood on its own but a jack of all trades would eventually get overshadowed by games that stick and find their own identity like project zomboid, rust, dayz etc
I liked Unturned alot but the game wasn't welcoming enough. there were 8 player gangs just ruining the server, one time one of them got betrayed and we helped him out, took em down but then i got bored.
As someone who found out unturned is on Xbox and someone who watches nylexs unturned life rp basically religiously at this point I'm getting an Xbox series X in about 3 weeks I'm excited to try out unturned for the first time ever
There's still a decent playerbase that still active though. Sure it wasn't like the previous years, but there's more than enough vanilla servers still active
Spent over 1k hours in this masterpiece, as young boy, building bases, raiding, and pvp was fire! so many good memories and even few new friends. Even my childhood is over and am gonna die in some random field of Ukraine or in battle of Moscow I still got my fingers crossed for Nelson and whole this project but with lack of development its gonna be dead or stay dead ;c
Did you know there was actually also a single developer porting it to android for a couple months? He got it running on super low end hardware too. sadly he got sent a cease and desist and had to stop working on it.
I used to play the hell out of this game. Tripping on berries, looking for lore. Trying not do die and find the best and safest way to survive while building that cabin in the woods. Well basically, the game and the maps became geared to online play and frankly, the online just felt like sweats who wanted to play Fortnite, but couldn’t or wouldn’t. So I got my shit together. Got a job in 2016 and bought 7 days to die.
Last time i played unturned i was raided and they were all screaming toxicity into their mics and acting mentally ill; screaming "SKIBIBI TOILET SKIRT SKIRT"; They didnt even take anything from my base; they just kept typing in chat "get good". I came back to find my base covered in wall peices stacked up resembling male genitals and got sniped when i was leaving with what I could carry. That kind of malice towards other made me stop playing
The dev fell on extremely hard times. Unturned 2 was announced years ago, and we were getting updates and closer and then he stopped 3 years ago, citing significant psychological troubles caused by lockdown and personal issues.
i use to play this game on an old hp laptop. it made me get a job in high school so I could afford to build a budget PC back in 2016. would've been a good game if they kept updates coming
my personal opinion on the matter is that pvp games suck and nelson turned it from what i believe was meant to be a survival game (possibly with team aspects) into another shooter clone. like if people wanted to shoot kids in video games for a couple hours, just play cod. maybe even rust if you really still want the survival aspects. don't say they can't because i can see the mythicals these kids wear so we all know damn well they can afford to play other games. like you said, elver is a great map because the progression is inherently difficult and to fully 100% the map, even just in singleplayer, will take hours of effort and grinding to complete the just the face-value material. there is a lot of secret work put into the map, world-building, and supposedly universe-building (see kuwait) and having the game be a simple loop of "find gun, kill person, repeat" is a major downside for the game in my opinion. there is a lot of effort put into these maps, their story and their mechanics and all of them are brushed over and the secret achievements are listed in guides (often as instructions on how to cheat them) tl;dr people play this game for the wrong reasons, pvp sucks
This was my fav game back then, I used to play this with the boys back then in 2020, Built a small base from hour to hour turning into huge base. Til one day each of my friend stopped playing this game, soon, I stopped playing it, one of best memories for my life
lets be fair mate, the thing that was keeping the game alive was workshop content and comunity servers, and it has been like this for some time right now. and with the advent of new survival games like project zomboid and stuff, its expected unturned was going to lose the player base eventually.
In my opinion, its because there arent any good servers anymore (most of them are ultra modded russian only servers) and 2 rediculous game mechanics.1. the mechanic where when you leave the server ur body with all your loot disappears and 2. THE GOD DAMN BED SYSTEM, I cant even count anymore how many times Ive had to restart a skybase build because of me accidentally unclaiming a bed.
I started playing Unturned again a few days ago because of Buak, which add enough content to make it a unique experience, but as a PvE player who plays with friends on private servers, it might be the last time I play it, because the game is just dead. There is nothing new except random fixes. Even Buak - which I feel is a more PvE oriented map - is way too easy (I died like once, and it's because I ate explosive candies), food isn't a threat, water isn't a threat, zombies are even less of a threat and even mega are easy to deal with because zombies can't leave an area since 3.0. The game has a lots of issues since 3.0/its release that won't ever get fixed (the terrible inventory system which is just confusing with big inventories since you can't sort it, the crafting interface that gets cluttered a lot when you play with mods and the search feature is pretty much useless, and the vehicles physics - especially they have 2 wheels). I've also seen some people criticize its optimisation, but I've had no problem with it (my integrated gpu is around a GTX 1050 Ti / GTX 1060, which is quite old and with almost everything ultra it's not quite 60 fps but it still feels smooth). But for PvE, you're better off playing Project Zomboid (which may not be free but it's really worth it, even though it as its flaws it has better gameplay and mods)
the Russian content maker asked the developer about the high online level, and he confirmed the problem, he contacted the steam support service and there is nothing they can do about it
Played over 1600 hours in unturned and hosted a wide variety of semi vanilla servers, played it for years back in the day and also made content under the name "Alpha-1" but I haven't actually played unturned in years now, I don't even have it installed.. I'm sad to hear its dying. this game was a huge piece of my childhood arguably a bigger piece then Minecraft ever was
It was my most played game for many years which was only recently passed by War Thunder, it's sad to see the players have left but it's hard to expect people to stick around when others are leaving.
the recent update made it even worse for me, cuz they made more complicate the hosting of small servers to play with friends, it was way easier a few months ago
i have almost 900 hours on unturned and i would say 400 to 500 of them are on offline mode which is highly unusual and for me the reason why i don't enjoy this game is 3 things: 1. the small limits of vanilla mode, this game is really not enjoyable in vanilla because of how limited it is. 2. the need of a lot of mods which causes a lot of servers to have lag spikes while this game have already a lot of problems with its system with no optimization. 3. the exploitation of players in unturned servers which allows people who pay money to these servers which is largely popular to get away with abusing other players and that is a problem that honestly no one can fix. solution could be to let trusted developers and modders of this game to run the development of this game so they can improve and make vanilla enjoyable again if we don't start with making vanilla enjoyable again then no one would bother to try the game.
1500 hours, The ammount of Fun i had with my friends sometimes playing 7 hours straight, i dont consider those Hours wasted. Loved this game, still play it sometimes but sadly we are proablly getting GTA-7 before Unturned 2.
Exactly, that's the issue. This game should be long given to us, not like it is now. Unturned II was his (Nelson's) only hope to avoid the state of the community he is having right now.
definetly one of the most fun parts of unturned is the modding community, all of the mods are so well made ( well most of them ) and actually fun, servers can litteraly do anything with the plugins and mods
All thanks to the game creator depending on some sexually active online 2 femboys and few scammers to make maps for him (they monopolised this part so not many other people are challenging them at that). He himself is lazy and as he is concerned about his mental health he keeps this game to his chest, yet he should sell it out to someone with more ambitions than him and all those content creators of his that provide only tik-tok like brainrot to the community. Also he is not fulfilling his own promises to the players. No wonder this game sucks it own ding dong now.
RP maps ruined it, theres hardly a few normal half-vanilla servers, and also I can agree that theres not much lore maps.. Like, I can just grind thru all the maps wit my friends, after we obtain a blowtorch, a car, and a gas can... And yea, trade bots... No more to say about this. I love unturned, I played since the start... Sad to see it dying.
Tbh I liked the fudgy series of unturned, I just wish that some servers were like that; two or more factions warring against each other with a common threat in the form of zombies
For me this game died when they added bullet dropping. Then most of wepons became worthless, bcs most of bullets will fly like 10000 seconds before reaching the target, and u have to aim 5m. higher, to shot a guy 200m. in front of you. This game just wasn't suited for such a mechanic.
11:31 if there was servers like that...now days no one opens Vanilla servers cuz its not worth the money for the host, so insted they open p2w pvp servers. I hope that one day, Nelson himself will expend the server browser and will add Vanilla/Official Tab like in rust, so then players will know that in that Tab there will be only pure vanilla servers
Im a beta tester used to play this game way back, After years of playing, I had to come to the same result and quit the game, The game is barely getting updated, After the promised unturned 2.0 (For those who remember) if you got 2000 hours if Im correct you would get a preview version of it There was a lot of hype and then the developer disappeared, A lot of people got angry or disappointed and left, So with over the years with no updates no anti cheat updates nothing, The game became what we all wished it didnt, A cheater's playground and pay to win in pretty much every half decent server, All those who played for years quit due to lack of more content on the game, Unturned 2.0 as he called it would've brought amazing graphics, Stable game, Better gun play, More compatibility for mod developers and a lot more improvements, But at last if it dies it deserves to die
My main issue with this game is the lack of fucking steam servers, no ONE wants to go through the pain in the ass that is setting up a custom server to play up with friends
if youre starting unturned and dont want to make massive time commitments, i recommend a6 polaris, it's relatively fast paces without sacrificing lore, or the overall playstyle and in my opinion, even expands on it with an in-depth quest line and a very well done dead zone.
Its just so hard to enjoy the game because you can’t find a server that is on a good map, has players, has good settings, and doesnt have insane loot multipliers. Its simply impossible to
Unturned had a solo developer with a community of an increasingly young audience. Unturned, as we knew it, was facing inevitable failure long before it died.
Honestly, in my opinion, the overall graphics look too simple, and could be enhanced, its been the same way for too long, hopefully a few maps like Escalation adds more detailed clothes, map, props and guns, but would be cool to see the devs actually working on the game once more
Honestly i think it alot down to the server managers alot of good servers have fallen off due to bad management take deapse now known as hypase it fell from having thousands of players spanning multiple maps and modes now it can barley pull 20 across all of the servers it was the main reason i quite the game
