    Thoughts so far on Dayz Standalone

    The extreme lack of food and weapons on any server that's had more than an hour or two since reset is a major problem. Ran from Cherno to Balota and managed to find literally 0 water and only a few scattered piece of fruit before I eventually died from dehydration. Frustrating. Melee weapons seems horrendously underpowered if I'm not using them wrong. I tried to aim for headshots with the crowbar and shovel. I can understand being less efficient than guns, but whacking a zombie in the face nine times with a shovel and have it still beat on you is a bit unfair. Since zombies no longer get slowed by building interiors, it's pretty much impossible to loot anything with a zombie on you, and zombies have random and occasionally ridiculous sight range. On a positive note, though, the game looks great and runs beautifully (even on my craptop). The playerbase seems nicer - I even came across some people and didn't get shot at - and overall the looting system is about 9001x better than Arma's. However, until spawn rates are fixed so it's not impossible to find supplies if you can't get on the server in the first hour after reset, I probably won't be playing much.
