It is still a pretty great game. I only ever played with the cheapest standard edition and had no problems.
I still do have some regrets about who I have given my money to, but there is no other game quite like it and a lot of industry giants and indies have tried (and are still trying) to emulate it without success.
No they haven't.
It's not a hard formula.
Instanced maps, loot, use loot to upgrade outside of instance in a way that helps your next playthough, Player has experience points and leveling of skills,
No other game does this, and any industry giants that claim to have tried have missed 1 of the 4 core elements.
Does Warzone's DMZ mode fail at any of these?
Yes.
There's no looting.
There's no upgrades outside of the instance.
There's no upgrading of players skills.
It just about fails all of them.
Taking weapons out and back in, doesn't count. There's no looting (of non-combat items)
