that's clever, i like it aswell - it would require people to know the map better. downside is it would potentially be a Long time before you reached a major city (and actually, i'm not sure the major cities would be hotspots anymore if we don't spawn on the coast). i'd prefer not being forced to go to only a couple places, being an airfield or military base. with server hoppers having the best items in the game in less than an hour because all of the loot spawns Right There. but.. without a centralized place for people to go, maybe the map is Too big and encounters wouldn't be as big or as frequent. *shrug

disagree, i like it, in first person anyway. but in third person, the game doesn't do a good job of telling you what happened, where or who a person was hit. the aiming retical is off aswell. feels almost too easy killing zombies by punching them in the head and repeating until they are dead in first person. im sure that will change once zombies are more fleshed out.

curious what these critical security updates were. being an optimist, hopefully it patches some of these scripting "holes" but we'll see, i suppose.

if you get hit in the head, even by a fresh spawn - you're forced into a prone position and you're blocked from taking any action. If your attacker wants to kill you, he can just keep hitting you in the head until you die, you'll get up a few times but be essentially "stunlocked" until death. Unable to defend yourself, also, landing headshots is really easy with a little practice in first person. unless you have a helmet (motorcycle helm is the only one i've actually tested). once you have a helmet you no longer get knocked down, and are basically unkillable to people without actual weapons - unless you're really low on blood or somehow mobbed i suppose. source - as a fresh spawn ive killed many people who were very geared but didn't have a helmet on don't know if it's intended, it's kinda neat, i like the feature.

possibly delayed because of steam messing up

assuming this patch probably isn't something big, too soon. so i'd hope for more day servers, or quicker day/night cycle and combat logging protection (but i'd guess that's a really low priority) loot respawn timers, maybe more zombies - doubtful it'll probably be something like - fixed the player connecting message
