Pros
Pro Jump in and play multiplayer
All players can be in the same world. Just set your 'instance' to a player and you can form a multiplayer group without a queue. Hunt zombie bosses, finish missions, loot, or just kill hordes on the fly.
Pro PvP
You can fight other players in an arena or boast your true player killing skills in the Inner City itself.
Pro Survive the Post-Apocalyptic horror your way
You are left to survive in a world taken over by the living dead. With a plethora of weapons, armor, and skills, take to the streets of the undead nightmare with your own choice of fighting whether it be rifles, machine guns, or even a nice, sharp object. Player run economies allow you to trade for the weapons/armor, medical items, and food you'll need. Of course, you could just loot your food, meds, (and if you're lucky) weapons/armor.
Pro Stable
Works reliably and has almost no bugs.
Pro Fast gameplay
Even the longest battles take less than 15 minutes.
Pro Strategy
Multiplayer Pokemon is like chess for people with short attention spans. A successful prediction can mean the difference between losing or winning.
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.
Con Not Casual friendly online
Con Steep learning curve
Type advantages and disadvantages are incredibly important, as well as knowing the roles of different Pokemon on each team. It's a lot to get into for a newcomer.
