I kind of hoped this would turn into another TF2 mod gone full out game. Because I think it's worthy, especially with the minds currently behind it.

Well I didn't know that, if he's making his own game more popular then more power too him! :)

I just wanted to take a moment to point out how impressive it is that this mod is updated so often. It clearly shows the creator (rocket?) is dedicated to what he has created and I for one appreciate that. I hope you can make enough dough somewhere off this, it seems really unfair that ARMA II sells 200,000+ copies of their game because of a mod that you created, stick it to 'em! Thanks! Keep up it man, you are a shining beacon of pureness that all game developers can aspire to be.

Wow, I didn't know this was an issue but I can only assume it's a high priority for the devs already, considering it's ill effects on the game. In regards to realistic hidden supply caches, you need to realize the line between realism and making a game fun and playable. Sounds like you have some caches hidden yourself.

K, I did it. I guessed the needle should point towards my hand since when they draw blood it points towards my shoulder. Since the blood didn't get all over my keyboard I assume I chose correctly. (are you a nurse?)

I agree with OP. Regeneration is one thing, and I think if implemented should be done so very carefully. However, why do I need a friend to use a blood pack? Is this also suggesting that you aren't supposed to play this game solo? I'm pretty sure in a real life apocalypse there would be a lot of people roaming around alone who won't trust anybody else. Why couldn't that same person stick a needle in his/her own arm and transfuse blood? I bet you money I could do it right now. The current mechanics make me want to simply suicide and start over if I find myself with less than 10,000 blood and no weapon.

Molotovs would be cool too, but should probably be a lot more rare :p Haha, Puffi perfect link.

I'm having the same problem and I wasn't having this problem yesterday.(after patch) I'm new to this game but the first day was fine, second having d/c problems on server after server and it is also after about 5-10 minutes.

I complained a bit about having no weapon at the beginning and I can really see why they did it. But I think a really cool alternative would be replacing tin cans with bricks that you can throw at zombies to stun them, perhaps only with headshots. So brick to the head, stun zombie, escape. This way you can't just take on hordes at the beginning, but you can probably escape if you accidentally aggro a couple zombies. Better than melee?

LoL, I hate this so much... I finally found a shotgun after hours of gameplay and I can't pick it up. I can drop and pickup the crossbow and other items I found around it but for some reason i can't loot the first gun I found. :/

Did any of you guys play darkfall? Seems like this game would have lots of darkfall players. I love the response from the guy who was trained in the military for using real melee weapons and close quarters combat. If you guys want realism then quit being illogical. The fix should be really simple, put weak weapons in more places.

I don't know why people think that gaming should involve studying and learning locations of weapons and how to fool A.I. but I do know this: I am new, I've played for abour 4 hours and although I love the concept of this game, it needs to be changed. I understand that people used to spawn with pistols and I like the idea of the invulnerability to prevent spawn killing rather than not having a weapon to start. I had a good 10 runs of fruitless searching and dying to zombies. I successfully lost the zombies aggro and I even made it to a town with high rise buildings (didn't catch the name) and searched about 5 buildings before some player killed me because I ran on top of his post while fleeing from zombies. To make a long post a little less long... Newbies cannot survive as the game currently stands, I want to play this game, not do what I've been doing the past 4 hours, which is running around aimlessly looking through ugly buildings with glitchy doors to find tin cans and a watch. Give me a pistol or make them WAY more common to find pretty please? I ALMOST feel like I wasted 30 bucks, but I know this game is fun.

After another couple tries I've decided a good fix would be to put simple pistols, or whatever the weakest weapon is, in more places. If you could at least get to them a bit easier then I could imagine the rest of the game coming in to play, rather than being stuck on 'level 1' for hours.

Exploiting stupid A.I. is a much worse concept than shooting zombies and there is no fun in it whatsoever. Trying to avoid aggro from unseen zombies is not fun. I have been 'playing' this game for like 2 hours now and I feel like I've done nothing but run around on a big map and seen some frustrating doors that won't close properly... and not a single gun. :/

I have to say as a brand new player to this game that starting without a weapon is a nightmare. I've played about 10 games now and get face raped by zombies every time I try to find gear. I watched tutorials on how to not make too much noise, where to go, what to do, etc... but I continue to get raped by zombies, I have no defense, give me a melee weapon or something at least. Oh and at night time? Forget about it. Very off putting.
