Some of my best screenshots so far:

Dark Astoria is a hazard zone filled with a thick fog and lots of zombies:

So far the beta has been a blast. It's a fun game to play in it's current state but I don't feel as if I'm just there to stress the servers. The development team listens and responds when there is need to, so far I've only seen 1 dev team being more in touch with their testers and that was an indie team for a small project.

More to come later, I'm off to bash the armies of Nemesis.
