Wrong. If they are deaf, yes they wont hear the shot. Many times with my friends we heard shots coming from miles away. It's not that hard to figure out that your friend got shot, he will start bleeding like a *** and then drop dead on the ground, I pretty much doubt that someone will just be staring down at the dead body and start to think what happened, cmon. When a shot hits something, it does a sound a really loud sound. You know that.

I don't know about that, I'd actually suggest more aggressive animals, but, just a FEW of infected animals wouldn't be an issue, IMO.

Well, in that situation, the other 4 members that were running together would still hear the sound of the shot, even if it was far away, you can still hear it, you still hear the blow. So it doesn't affect the gameplay at all.

This is a good idea, it doesn't need to say, "You are dead, killed by Someone with This gun, using This Accessory, from This distance, from this Direction". I believe his suggestion is just tell why we got killed, simple and easy, like "You are dead, by a bullet"; "You are dead, by hemorrhage"; "You are dead, ripped apart" (zeds) And for the people that is using the excuse of "Oh, this is not realistic". If it should be realistic, you should get a totally Black Screen with nothing, not even a "You are Dead", and shouldn't respawn any more. But, if you want to keep the game fun to play, it needs some "arcade" things, if you want to say that way, It doesn't need to go full Arcade, like L4D or BF3 and so on. All he is asking is info, and it doesn't screw any realistic thing of DayZ. Also, it is a nice way to tell if you died from a glitch or not.
