Cons
Con Difficult if you don't know what you're doing
This game has RPG stat elements via leveling up. Your play style and how much you're planning to play this game dictates your stats. If you mess up your stats in the beginning, you'll have a much harder time down the line. Try googling "The Ultimate Dead Frontier Guide" online for a general idea of how to build your character.
Con Lag (on occasion)
Can lead to unfortunate circumstances like disconnection from multiplayer to single player mode during heated situations, enemies may not register hits, etc. This is especially dangerous when you're looting inside buildings in closed spaces.
