In H1Z1 they came up with something special for Christmas: 100 naked players against a fully equipped team.
This is a special “Battle Royale” match that Twitch streamer CDNThe3rd came up with: He sent 100 “Naked” (or at least approximately 100), without the ability to pick up anything other than a handmade bow, against a fully geared team that was in the next room and could converse.
A real spectacle.
H1Z1 spent its entire 2015 in Early Access. While they quickly released new game content at the beginning of the year, that slowed down over time. More emphasis was placed on polish, and the development shifted from the survival MMO aspect to the arena-like battle royale module – which promised more attention from Twitch viewers and thus more interested players. The fans of the “Walking Dead”-like survival game are not pleased with this direction.
The whole development threatens to split the community around the title.
