H1Z1 is a multiplayer online battle royale that was launched to the public through an Alpha stage on January 15, 2015, and more recently had its official reveal of February 28, 2018.<\/p>\n

The game was originally known for it\u2019s online \u201cwalking dead\u201d styled game play where players would spawn in an open world area and the goal was to survive, with zombies and other players being the threats you would need to contend with. The game was later revamped when the Daybreak Team employed Brandon \u201cPlayerunknown\u201d Greene to work on a battle royale mode for the game. Brandon was previously well known for his Battleground mod to game Arma 3 and his more recent title PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battle Ground<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Under Brandon\u2019s leadership the game split in to two versions originally H1Z1 & H1Z1 King of the Kill, the battle royale style mode: \u201cKing of the kill\u201d quickly became the more popular and sought-after game mode and pioneered the structure that popular games like Fortnite<\/a> and Battleground follow today.<\/p>\n

While Battleground and Fortnite have seen much more success at the global scale, it cannot be forgotten that H1Z1 was the first of its kind to pioneer and show success using the style of game that seems to be replicated by a new game developer each day.<\/p>\n

How the game is played<\/h2>\n

Players parachute into the map from random locations and as they land they must find supplies to defend themselves. Hiding and waiting is not an option as a toxic gas advances, thus reducing the safe zone. Eventually the remaining players will have to meet and fight.<\/p>\n

There are several objects available for the players to grab, like weapons and medical kits. Vehicles and the possibility of building weapons are some of the innovations on H1Z1.<\/p>\n

The game can be played in a solo mode, duo mode & squad mode, Squad mode seems to be the choice of the competitive structure however H1Z1 has also had success using the solo queue structure.<\/p>\n
