Die with honor and start again?

Alpha - Deal over it.

There's a bug where the screen only shows a 99 second timer when in fact it can be anything up to 3 minutes. Once the timer hits zero it asks you to wait even though you still have another 120 seconds to wait.

So the game is not LITERALLY unplayable, because you can play it. It's just that your character gets wiped regularly. But you can still play it.

I kill people for fun

Well in the west you have military loot like AKMs AK101s and M4s that spawn on chopper crash sites along the west. Admittedly the crash sites don't spawn at the moment, but they will, and later in the games development when they actually start to thin out the loot drops and make things even rarer going to the west will be recommended so you can actually gear yourself with something of worth.

Spawning on the east cost is a feature. All the military bases are in the west region of the map and therefore should be hard/annoying/time consuming to get to. Get used to it because it's going to be this way for a while. If not, for ever.

Yeah! While you're at it remove zombies too. Annoying. >:(

There's a bug on stable where melee is fucking dreadful with something like a 40% chance of actually hitting something when you would have before the stable patch. It's being fixed atm.

A video game can NEVER be realistic. Because you are moving pixels around to other pixels and shooting some other pixels. Games can be Authentic. But realistic, they can not be.

Because realism? That's extremely laughable. This game is 1,000,000 miles away from realism. There are zombies, you run infinitely, when you die you don't stay dead for the rest of time, morphine mends broken legs, you gain blood at a blistering rate, you teleport all over the place due to desync, you shuffle about as if you're looking through a CCTV because of FPS lag, broken legs mend instantly with a rag and a stick, you fall through walls and get stuck in buildings. BECAUSE REALISM!

Just because it's in the trailer doesn't mean it will be in the game for a while. The suicide thing you saw was just animation trickery for the sake of the video. Actually implementing it in to the game would be very tricky and is not really integral to the alpha way of feature implementation.

No you have 2 different characters. 1 on Hardcore and 1 on Regular servers. Though you COULD have died from zombie attacks whilst you were logging off.

If I want interesting experiences I'd turn my PC off and go outside. A 30 second respawn time does nothing to the current gameplay. It doesn't add to nor take away from the gameplay. Generally if you shoot at someone you want them dead. Why does it matter to you that they may have been unconscious and decided to just plop back to the East shore? It makes no personal difference to you that that one person didn't wake back up 5 minutes after being shot does it? Currently the only challenge in this game is the squiff melee bought by 0.47.

Having ruined gear, no blood/energy and no weapon is worse than being a fresh spawn. Also it's still a waste of time ignoring some kid while you're cuffed when you could have sat there for 30 seconds to respawn.

And that's a bad thing? If I know I'm going to be cuffed and fed rotten fruit/disinfectant, why should I sit about for 3 minutes to become conscious and then wait 15 minutes while a 12 year old Russian fumbles around trying to cause my character pain when I don't record anything for the benefit of an audiences entertainment? It's just a colossal waste of time to do that. That's why I always double tap anything I get unconscious.

I don't use any because my PC is shit.

K. Lets remove firearms. they are in 100% of firefights. They're obviously a problem we can't afford.

There will always be similarities, but I expect the standalone to FAR surpass the mod by the time it's into beta in 6 or more months. It will obviously follow the same premise, but it will stand a head and sholders above the mod.

Oh sorry. Didn't realise you're Gabe Newell. My bad bro. Hey. When's Half-Life 3 coming out?

No. It is. It's just been given a different name for the sake of early releases.

In the Alpha stages of games, developers throw as much content as they can into their games. Fixing the game breaking bugs along the way but leaving most of them alive. Leaving place holder sounds, textures, animations etc. When it comes to beta they will still add bits and pieces here, though this development stage is dedicated primarily to flattening as many big and small bugs as they can find.

Titanfall has it where if you get banned for hacking you can only play on servers with other hackers. Serves them right.

Get used to it. Ambient sound effects are not a priority to be redone.
