So wanting gore is "surprising?" Wow. I feel insulted. A gritty, authentic survival game should be as gory as possible. I want to walk down the street of Elektro and look at dead bodies, their heads blown off, blood all over the ground. It adds to the atmosphere, and it is realistic. I want the images of fallen players to be almost as sickening as the images of actual fallen people. I want to look at a guy who was shot in the gut and say, "Holy shit." Is that bad? Without gore, my immersion is wrecked. Corpses all look like dynamic, static objects, with no way for someone to determine how they died.

Some people think the animals should be bland, simple AI that requires no skill to hunt. Guys, this is a survival game. A survival game trying to be heavily authentic. I'm pretty sure an authentic survival game should have animals that are a challenge to hunt and don't allow you to just drive through the woods in a pickup while your friend in the back sprays deer down with an M60, because in real life all the animals will be bolting the hell away from such a noisy thing.

I was not expecting so many beans for this post. Clearly the forum wants realistic hunting. I don't see how anyone can enjoy braindead animals!

Now that the thread by the fellow who wanted the 10 minute despawn of bodies to only be removed so he can just run back to his body, I want to make one with a point for it that isn't silly. The reason I want bodies to not despawn after 10 minutes is so that if someone dies, and someone later stumbles upon their body, they can loot that body. In real life, if a man falls off a roof and dies, his body will not disappear in 10 minutes. It will stay there, slowly decaying. For a few days anyone could stumble upon the corpse and take everything off of it. Sure, not having bodies despawn after 10 minutes will promote rushing back to your dead body to grab your stuff, but this can be prevented. Simply make it so that you can not loot your own corpse. This way, others can come upon your 2-hour dead corpse, loot it, but you can not. I really don't see a reason for bodies to stay til restart if the above feature is implemented. It would add some immersion to players, as they walk past dozens of corpses. You would know that a massacre took place here, or even a mass suicide. Right now, 10 minutes is also not a lot of time for looting corpses in HUGE FIREFIGHTS. If you are sniping, and shoot someone, killing them, you have 10 minutes to get to their position and loot their corpse. Now, if they have a friend, he can simply stake out at his chump's corpse for you. You either have to risk your life to get the loot, or hope that the guy leaves in 10 minutes. Having a more realistic despawn time and the inability to loot your own corpses would allow players to take their time with looting bodies. The 10 minute timer makes you sort of rush to do so, especially in areas like Elektro where you don't want to risk being shot. It would give players time to secure the perimeter, and would also allow new players to pick ruined gear off of long dead corpses. Plus, seeing a ton of corpses in the street just adds to the apocalyptic feel.

Yes please.

Alright, thank you, but when I viewed the post it was still there.

.... I was going to give you beans, then you called this thread "Redundant." Thank you for informing me its due to server performance, but can you refrain from insulting my thread? Thank you, I appreciate your reply.

Unfortunately, no. For a few logical reasons- A. Would be hard to optimize and make realistic. B. Would be abused by 12 year old kiddos.

Micro Uzi.

There is nothing like spraying .45 ACP while straightening your white jacket and blue shirt. It is an experience rivaled by no other gun, other then perhaps the Mac-10, but fuck the Mac-10. The Uzi has style. It has utter class. It has also been around since the 50's and is a widespread submachine gun. You can also conceal it. Put it in your bag, with a dozen mags. No one will ever have to know you have one of the most badass automatic weapons with you. They'll only get to know this when you pull it out and hold desperately into that trigger until they are dead and your gun goes click.

Good idea.

I know its multiple calibers, I just prefer my Uzis in .45 ACP. Though they would probably add it in 9mm.

But you got completely destroyed and proved a hypocrite (hippo-crat) :0

The morale of this story, don't shoot the Red Cross.

Locked Public Hives? N-O-O-O.

Fedoras were ruined by hipsters a while ago, no thanks.

What about .357?

Unfortunately I know how you feel, sometimes I feel bad for killing people who somehow didn't hit me.

I will hide my bag in some Kamyshovo bush and keep a pistol without a mag in it and one round so I can hunt fresh spawn slaughterers with the challenge of one round.

FEAR THE WIND.

I have yet to get me my Mad Max set.. ;_;

I will offer weekend sniper support for all medics if needed! :D

I hate that crosshair, ruins me immershun.

A gun is a gun. It all depends on the situation. You can kill a guy with an M4A1 with a .22 in game AND irl if given the right situation.

I would rather just not die in the first place... :D
