I know there are topics complaining about zombies in DayZ being a minor problem, and I agree with them. I know in a zombie apocalypse, real people truly would be a greater threat than the zombies, but as of now, zombies are just a minor distraction. I think that in some instances, let's say there's a trade off gone wrong and two groups are pointing guns at each other, it's really tense, people are probably gonna die. All of a sudden, someone notices a huge hoard of 50+ zombies approaching rapidly. The two groups are forced to team up. OR Tense stand off under a bridge (random example off the top of my head), and a huge hoard is over head. Enough zombies to rip everyone there apart. Fire a shot and they will hear it and wipe you out. I think it'd be better if people had to pick and choose their shots more. No 'right' or 'wrong' decisions, I understand that players should be able to kill each other, but you should have to think before you do. Consider the threat of zombies hearing the shot and taking you down. As of now, zombies aren't enough of a threat to make you consider sparing a life. Unless you're low on ammo, but usually you can just loot the player and cut your losses. Sorry if this is slightly incoherent, i'm just kind of typing my thoughts. I think it should feel more like you're in The Walking Dead.
