As I was playing the other day, I had an idea. What if zombies were made more powerful but had smaller attention spans? Basically, two changes: 1) Increase the damage from zombies. Not necessarily to 1 or 2 hit kills, but something that makes running into a building with 1 entrance/exit a really bad idea. Obviously, this makes zombies a more immediate threat. 2) Decrease how long they will chase you at full speed. (For those that need real-world science to back up every decision: it makes sense that the muscles of a decaying body will lack the stamina to sprint for extended periods of time.) Now, they would still run and chase you (with the better tracking of the SA), but they will gradually slow down after a period of running. How many times have you ran forever because zeds were on your butt for miles. We can't have "walking" zombies because of latency issues, obviously, but these changes might reinforce the fact that zombies are most deadly in close quarters and in hordes.

I was in the forest south of Berezino and I saw a UAZ parked on the outskirts of town. This was the first car I had found in the game so I was naturally pretty excited. I ran to it and saw a dead bandit on the floor. Figured it was his car, and feeling safe I hopped in and started driving away. It was not his car. I look behind me while driving to realize I've stolen the caboose of a convoy and I'm being chased by 3 cars and a motorcycle. Shit... But I figure it's cool, I can try to lose them with my Gran Turismo skills or something. This is when I found out that driving up hill in DayZ is tantamount to parking. Needless to say, they JFK'd me.
