‘The War Z’ Gets A Gameplay Video!

It looks The War Z, the highly anticipated MMO is finally coming together!

Developer Hammerpoint Interactive showed off some alpha gameplay at PAX today, and even at this stage the game looks pretty neat (if not familiar).

The game takes a similar approach to the popular ARMA II mod Day Z, in that it’s a survival MMO set in the midst of a zombie outbreak. Huge maps and tons of people, and even more zombies should mean that there are always scares to be had, and people to meet up with.

The War Z seems to have borrowed more from Left 4 Dead than Day Z however, as it takes more of a traditional shooter approach than the latter does. Even many of the interface elements appear pretty familiar.

I’ve only put a few hours into Day Z myself, but so far The War Z looks to be a much smoother experience with an easier to understand interface. Day Z in my opinion has way too much going on control wise, and I find myself having to constantly look into the menu for the correct button to press.
