Zombies only attack you if you get too close, make too much noise, etc. Then they have to get within melee range to take off 100-200 damage a hit, and maybe cause bleeding. Even if you're bleeding and being hit by 2 zombies, you still have a chance to run, or fight them off with the weakest of weapons. On the other hand, one, other players can see you from a mile away, and shoot your from nearly that far. One, maybe two bullets from said player, and you're dead from 12000bp. So, yes, unless you're impatient, the infected are no more dangerous than pesky flies.

Has anyone else noticed that your character screams while zombies munch on you while you're unconcious? :rolleyes: "It hurts enough to scream, but not enough to wake up". :P

I've found that if I don't have a primary weapon equipped, I can only crawl fast, not slow. Fast crawling gives me away to zombies much farther away, meaning it's even harder to find my first weapon without getting aggroed. Why can't I crawl slowly when I'm unarmed, or with only a sidearm?

I had a similar error with a boar. Only I couldn't even gut it, just "gear" and "hide body". I also killed it with an m1911.

The matchbox spawnrate is painful. I'd be better off hunting zombies, hoping to find a can of beans, than hunting for a matchbox to cook meat with.

I've been having the same thing. Also happens when I reload my M1014 shotgun.

I'm a bit confused over shotgun ammo, and I'm looking for some clarification. I've got an M1014 and some 8 shot "mags" specifically for it. I've also found some sets of 2, that say "For M1014". What's the difference? Why can I fit 8 rounds in one inventory slot, but only 2 in another? Can they be combined somehow?
