    Limited Climbing Ability(as average people can do)

    I think so too, now that zombies run in buildings there is nearly no escape, zombies need a weakness.I would propose the same as you limited motor-skills. Aslong as zombies are able to repair muscle their muscle would grow immensely over the short periods of running hitting and running they do. Half an hour at the gym is enough for most to bulk up full sprinting for hours everyday with seemingly zero fatigue would bulk up Zeds heaps. But I fell the virus should eat at their brain destroying their intelligence and motor-skills. In essence they could climb... But it may take on average about five attempts to jump over a six foot wall it would take a normal guy to climb once. When they're failing I would like to see slipping bloodied finger marks giving a nice atmosphere when tracking an already hunted player. Maybe some visibly fresher zombies could be smarter and have better motor skills let be weaker melee wise and also slower.

    Knife combat. Grab 'n' stab

    It ain't scripted its just a more real way of handling real time.Knifes are only really lethal when stabbing, multiple times as well. You can't slash, it would do about half what current the current 9mm damage is, it shouldn't even kill with a headshot because a knife slash would never go through the skull, that shit requires a good perpendicular stab. It's all about the grabbing and then the stabbing IRL, sometimes it can be dangerous to just grab someone so maybe an unarmed player can use his fists or hands similarly, only less damaging. Sure hatchets should be swinging instruments, maybe machetes as well only more with the extended arms. But by no means should you flail a knife around at somebody with an axe. Maybe with realistic hit boxes you can kinda move your arms in the way, but they can be stabbed too. The advantage of a long handled weapon would kinda be ability to hold it in defence and smack them with the handle in the nose.

    I see it more as being hit in the leg with a sniper in an open field sort of thing.Instead of trying to run you want to lure him in with him thinking you dead before quickly taking your gun in hand and filling him full if some shorter ranged weapon lead before he can even raise his rifle from a sprint.

    Holding your breath IMO would be a mistake.Just try to breath very quietly and not too often. People more commonly die with their eyes open aswell don't they? Maybe that could be a way to tell if a player is dead or unconscious, unconscious has eyes closed dead has a blank stare. In reality if somebody was close enough to be touching what they thought to be a lifeless body then you could never really play dead. Your pulse would be going wild aswell as your breathing if they were more interested in confirming a kill through a scope or from a distance than actually trying to grab some gear then it might work. Otherwise I'd suggest camping somewhere in the building with your gun on the door. That's the way it should be IMO.

    sea bases in SA

    One thing I've always kinda wanted is one of those WW2 anti tank guns manned by like 5 people with wheels and a big bit of cover.

    Good idea, we can first develop zombie undoing potion.Then we can fix power grid and economy and pay new brain dead people for their labour.

    Yes, but it will look like a brick of turds copter after about 2 years of solid work.And there... Might be rotors :)

    Limited Climbing Ability(as average people can do)

    That's new to me.@OP This idea is also pretty original as far as I'm aware, I'll give you props for that much. In combat PVP situations aswell it would have you avoiding obvious flanks that the map often forces you into taking. It would probably look clunky but IMO its worth a try next time the devs are doing mocap. I would consider myself quite a good climber I've never been tall, but I've never been weak in the upper body. Some kids are amazed that I can run & jump up a 8 foot wall, LOL they've either never tried or have really weak arms & torso.

    sea bases in SA

    Yar, dats pretty good.I'd love if they could make boat interiors. I wanna see fishing boats that go up to the size of those crab fishing boats. It would be nice to have some sea-nerey HUEHUEHUE out there like a large anchored cargo ship like I said before even if its not drivable due to the lag it would be lots of fun to try and fortify.

    sea bases in SA

    That's why I suggested that boats largely favour the KOS piracy and robbing kind.Give the new spawns two immediate options, go inland or back into the sea. Inland will offer friendships and campfires while the sea will offer piracy and fighting for every last bean.

    I think fall to knees and then roll onto front would be the best, you can do it while running aswell.

    Why is there only hueys when we could have sea stallions?

    [SA] Map switching - Survival End Game

    I hope all the maps are kinda unique. Germany might have gun and car factories. But less helpful DIY stuff like building materials.

    decapitation, put player head on spike

    Is game! >:( IRL would not do this shit. :O That's my KOS impersonation, I think I'm pretty good.

    Yes, how many guns and humvees did that aircraft carrier have on it? I know for a fact there isn't nearly as many hueys on that aircraft carrier as there is crashed on the map at one point.

    Also it would be unrealistic if a guy searching your body didn't notice you breathing after you'd been shot! That shit would have you in the pain.

    playing dead opossum style

    As long as there's no kill feed. People don't know when it's safe to enter. Don't be surprised if your shot I the head while attempting this though :) IMO if the bullet wounds were more visible it would be great. They see a hole in your head they don't have to worry. They see but one hole in your leg and they'll be very suspicious, this along with an autopsy option that is actually good would make a winner.

    sea bases in SA

    That's a good idea, sea sickness.Bad nutrition off just fish. You would have to go ashore and stock up on sugary treats and sea sickness pills. Maybe ginger flavoured foods can slightly reduce sea sickness aswell. Main downsides of sea sickness can be moral destroying and dizziness (swaying aim) aswell as loosing your lunch D:

    Landmines again.

    Unless its vehicle mines, but you should still be able to set them off if you're silly.
  21. AP_Norris

    sea bases in SA

    Yes, but I don't want fishing, or else you won't have to go to shore for shit!I don't want to see armed military boats. They should act as a chassis on a tank, you supply your own guns by either mounting them or just having a massive firing squad on board. Sea should be the opposite of inland IMO, massively PVP. With so few islands to store your stuff on it might be better to keep most of it on the boat. I wanna see proper piracy boat warfare stuff. Maybe even have, anchored cargo ships, they wouldn't be able to leave the area because of the infection.
  22. AP_Norris

    Landmines again.

    I doubt there would be mines on main roads left over from this supposed war.
