Right...it's also a game that didn't sell at all before this mod. Super hardcore sims don't sell. They're a business. It's their goal to make a product that will sell the best. They finally have something that could be huge if they don't completely ruin it and make it something that most gamers would find too hard and a chore. There has to be a balance and they were pretty darn close in 1.7 before rocket decided to go overboard.

I don't deny some people will like it. It's a safe bet though, since they want this game to eventually go retail, that this game won't sell and will forgotten about in it's current extreme-hardcore state. 1.7 was the perfect blend. Now the game is brutal and what most would consider a chore. Most people want a fun zombie survival game. Not a crawling and can throwing simulator.

Yes' date=' when you pick them up you can hit F and it will eventually just say throw. if you tap the fire key, it lands about 5-10 feet from you, if you hold the fire key, you throw it up to about 30 feet. Hitting someting solid gets a better effect, so try to hit a building, or make it land on a street/pavement. It arcs a bit, so practice might be needed. [/quote'] I don't care if I get flamed...that is WAY too complicated just to get around. There's a fine line between fun-realistic and just a cheap, tedious chore. The game has gone head first into the latter post 1.7.

This game's so broken right now. Even if there aren't any zombies in a building to make it game over, the surrounding zombies will hear you in the building, all teleport or fly in and kill you anyway.

Agreed. The zombies in 1.7 were perfect.

7.1.1 turned the game into a boring crawling simulator. 7.1.4 made it so you can't even crawl anymore without detection. I agree the game is extremely tedious post 1.7

Had similar happen. I was in the building where I got my hatchet. I swing it once and it agro's like 10 zombies. Maybe more as I never made it out. The game is broken as hell right now.

No it's not. I swung an axe in a building and THAT agro'd every zombie in the area. It's beyond stupid.

You can't have difficulties in an online game. This isn't single player...

Oh glorious 1.7...where has your perfection gone? :(

The zombies now are broken and cheap. Plain and simple. Earlier I was alone, in a closed building. All I did was swing the axe to test it out and I agro'd like 10 zombies somehow. The game has gone from amazing to completely cheap and not fun.

Jumping the shark is a very good description of what's happening to the game. Rocket is taking good ideas and just going way too far with them and thus ruining the game. He seems to be forgetting this is a GAME and is supposed to be fun. The game went from the perfect blend of survival and zombie killing to a chore.

It's definitely annoying. You find a server that actually has the mod up to date only to find that it doesn't have the updated arma 2 client.

Hopefully they fix it as in bring global chat back so you can talk to everyone again and have FUN.

What's sad is there's actual players here that think that's a good thing. They don't get that most people don't find the game getting less and less user friendly, fun. Hardcore is only fun to a point.

I don't get why they removed world chat. It really takes that open world, MMO feeling out of the game. You can't ask for help anymore either.
