Bought this game even seeing all the bad reviews. The game itself is not horrible, but the issues with it will start to upset you at some point. Firstly, yes the hackers are very annoying but like most other games I assumed they would be there. I didn't think there be as many as there are though. The zombies mode is my favorite of all so far. There are some real drawbacks though. Zombie mode is only 3 players to a team unlike the prior versions. At least once everyday in the zombie mode, the lobby will crash and you will lose everything you don't have in a stash. There are many glitches within that mode that I have seen people get very upset over because they lost all their gear. I have a larger group of friends that play with me and they have also had the same issues so I know it is not just me. I would give this 3 out of 5. If you are someone who gets upset because you found an item you have been working toward for game progression and then the game crashes before you can exfil and you lose your gear and have to work your way back. Then do not get this game. I think this could be a great game if they fixed some of the issues.
