No damn reason? Here is my point of view. I see a person, he has not seen me yet. He is always going to be a threat to me and right now I have an easy kill. So take the shot. Live longer. I then see a person who has not long spawned, he only has a Wrench. The thing is, if I leave him and don't shoot I'l always have to keep an eye on him. he can easily sneak up on me, putting me in danger. If I shoot him now? I won't have to worry about him. Even if someone says.. "Friendly..." I doesn't matter.. They're just words. If you want to be a survivor you trust NOBODY. Everyone wants to survive and they'll do that in anyway possible. That is of course the aim of the game, too survive.

I really like your idea. I can imagine 2 Handcars meeting each other.. and the people on each handcar would have to fight each(unless their a friendly bunch ^.^) other to gain control of the other cart to keep going the direction they wanted to go.

Interesting. In real life, there are problems where one handcar is blocking the way, the only way they could resolve the issue was to take it apart and off the rails, let the other one go through, then set it back up. I don't know what they could implement to make this work, but I would love to find out :p!

So, I was thinking long and hard at transport, because it's clear walking these long distances is too much. A few days after I started playing it took me 3 hours to get to a Military area, of course I did get lost a "few" times ;). I have heard that Cars and Helicopters will come out eventually, and that's fine. I also think Horses would be real cool to ride. But what about Handcars? Imagine it for a second... Looking in to the distance and seeing two Bandits pushing together to move a Handcar on the railway! I think it would be so funny and realistic at the same time. It's just so simple and effective. Unless you bring out Trains, the railway wouldn't have too much use, this would give it use! For those who don't know what a Handcar is I'l explain. It's like a small thing you put on the railways and to move it you need 2(sometimes 1, depending on the Handcar) people to push to gain momentum. What do you think?
