So much this! There have been many times I've had binocs and/or a scoped weapon and watched a fellow survivor walk around a town. To me it's like watching a National Geographic show. How is this guy going to deal with all those Zeds? He doesn't know I'm watching him or that he has a scope zeroed in at his distance following his every move, yet he doesn't die either because I don't pull that trigger. In fact, one survivor probably (and in this game rightfully so) thought someone was shooting at him, because unknown to him there was a Zed around that corner he was about to round so I took the 600yd shot and dropped the Zed with a headshot. All the survivor knows is there was a gunshot, and if he sees the Zed around the corner after he turns it he might just assume it was killed a while ago by whomever was shooting at him or it was another casualty of the roof monster. I don't call out on Side Channel and don't really talk there. I talk on TeamSpeak with my friends and that's about it. I play this game to avoid other survivors for the most part because their survival goes against my own. Either they get the beans or I do. So usually I don't help (outside the above situation), but at the same time I don't go actively hunting. If I come across another survivor I usually change directions, back out of town quietly or etc. However, if I think they will present a direct threat to me (ie: bandit skin) or I walked to a particular location specifically for the store that's in that town and there's another survivor crawling in I'll not hesitate to shoot. It's either I get the stuff or they do, and at the end of the day it's about my survival over theirs. If this puts me into the COD4/TDM crown because I'll shoot without saying anything, then so be it.
