It seems to me that you are looking at it at an roleplaying perspective. Yes you can't telepathicly talk to other people, but people like to play with friends. I am one of those that ONLY plays with his friends because I can't be bothered playing any game alone. Imagine playing with your friends. You log into the same server. You spawn. One spawns in Elektro, one in Berezino and one in Novy. You don't know where your friends spawned and you can't comunicate with them in anyway or form, cause they are to far apart. Now that would be realistic. BUT. Think even one stop deeper into this "realism". You are friends. Maybe you lived in the same village in Chernarus. Maybe you shipwracked together. If you think like that, then why does one spawn Elektro, one Berezino and one Novy? I see what you mean and I can understand you, but right know there is no system to support RL friends. I mean you could only use Skype, or Teamspeak to find each other and then go on with the ingame voice. But even than I don't remember sounding like I am talking inside a bathroom and talking extremly quit. I will maybe use the ingame walkys but even than, I wanna have fun playing. I wanna talk about the last party I had or how stupid my boss is to my friends. And I won't use the walkys then cause I don't got a backpack full of batteries. A lot of posts in this forum are SO much about realism that I kind of have to wonder if some people are even playing this GAME for fun or if they wished a real zombie apocalypse would brake out.
