OrganGrinder

That reminds me... My grenade is badly damaged (when my jacket it was carried in got ruined). Does anyone know if the grenade is less effective based on condition? I would assume not.

I've got a grenade I'm itching to use. I will most likely die before I get to use it because my "action" moments rarely last long enough for me to think clearly. I do still have hope that will change this time though.

Actually This sounds a lot like my typical game play: Someone shoots at me while I am stupidly out in the open, I try to get the better of the person then wind up getting killed by my own lack of sensibilities. Oh, and sometimes I accidentally kill my friends in the process. Come to think of it, my friends haven't been playing with me lately... *hmm*

Thank you for the translation. Written that way it sounds like a scene from one of the Sherlock Holmes novels... The Zeds of Baskerville perhaps?

I'm pretty sure they DID intend it to be both irritating and quickly lethal. They are testing a new system and I doubt realism is a care at the moment - they can tweak it back at any time. Rather devs could very easily be wanting to test the mechanics of freezing rather than the realism of a balanced temperature system. More feedback quicker. Also, don't you find it odd that it is very difficult to get overheated (without roasting yourself on an open fire)? To me that is a hallmark of a biased system, one biased toward a particular testing scenario. It seems common among posters to assume that balanced play is a short-term goal of the devs. I have never assumed nor expected that being in such an early stage of development. And to the second point, yes swimming for 15 minutes in ice cold water would indeed bring you to a state of hypothermia. I can't think of a more effective way to do it actually. Consider that doctors will use ice baths to quickly lower a body's temperature to either counteract a high fever or to slow the body's processes and metabolism. Hypothermia as a definition is merely the lowering of a person's body temperature to below 35 degrees Celsius (from a normal 37 degrees). It's quite easy to do.

Funny you say that. I know this zombie hooker in Novo named Susan who likes rough play... probably not the same one though.
