Agreed, I been playing Arma 2 (started with operation flashpoint) for a a long time and I was excited to see this type of mod. Finally a survivor game where i can gather resources, run from(and kill a few) zombies and possibly get together with fellow survivers in a co-op enviroment. The more I played it kept feeling more like a open-world deathmatch game, where you need to gather ammo and food to stay alive, if you don't get shot first. Only complaint I have about dieing is sometimes it takes a while to load the game and reconnect to the server., hopefully this will be fixed in the standalone, which i am sure it will be. Now dont get me wrong, bandits to me anyway, are vital part of the gameplay or the game will be friggin boring. Survivors need these assholes to give us another obstactle to overcome. As they add alot to the gameplay, because once you get the hang of it, it can be easy to avoid the Zombies. Especially with a silenced weapon. Hopefully in the standalone it will be more balanced in terms of lowering droprate/ammo of sniper rifles/military grade gear...or at least make civilian hunting rifles with scopes more common. To me it seems it will be more realistic to find that type of rifle than a military grade one like the AS50. Makes the game more challenging I think and more realistic. But we will see what happens in the standalone, so far i am very optimistic.
