been gone for like a week or 2. and find out all chat is universally disabled. right now the game got at least 20 times more boring, especially on your own. with the current state, enemy or even possibly friendly players, might as well be a NPC. after someone kills you, you can't go "hey nice shot!" or "damn i just got a map, who killed me?". i've been playing for a while and like the game, but the moment that all chat was disabled, the game just felt quiet, and empty. sure i can go and try to find other people, but probably i'd either get shot, or simply not know where to go. i could go to some of the more populated areas and wait for people, and then kill them or try to get their attention but, as after killing them i will not really get anything(emotional or what ever), like the game got significantly more bland to me. the whole reason of getting a multiplayer game is to socialize, and with out all chat i spend most of my time alone crawling around, with little to no interaction with anything other then animals to get food or lakes to get water.
background so you don't instantly generalize me. i am in a clan, and the clan has vent. so i can talk to clan members but i usually play earlier in the day, while most of the members play later. I am not the kind of person who tries to kill people, only time i attempt it is when you see someone at say they airfields and you have a group and so you don't want to team up and they could kill one of your allies or you. so, i don't hunt people and i can survive fairly easily, zombies only being a threat because of their insane speed and fast animations (no predictability to what a zombie will do when he sees you).
just in between me doing things or going from city to city i like to talk to the randoms people in all chat, and sometimes i help a newbie understand what he has to do. i generally will explain more then the typical "learn the game". and now well it's all gone and got boring.
EDIT: sorry if you see a bunch of typos i am currently on painkillers. :P

Zombies in my opinion should only be a hassle in groups and be problematic for the unwary. if you dead sprint through a town you should not have much trouble if you ran around zombies. Zombies are either A. dead, and therefore should not be able to run faster then a normal fit human that has been surviving. B. Alive, and mind is changed by infection, in which case they will run faster, but have less coordination making them prone to tripping, and even if they don't trip they will eventually damage their muscles causing them to eventually just fall over.
in my opinion they should be dead, i dislike the idea of "infected" like the rage virus. would be nice if they possibly aloud the servers to select 1 of different choices that balanced them, like a slow zombie setting, the zombies are immune to most damage except for head-shots. fast zombies would go down easily. the main problem i have with the "infected" is it makes using melee weapons near impossible. they would simply jump onto you and bite your ear off, and could take several shots before eventually just dieing.
the idea of a zombie is basically a monster that represents chaos or our animal instincts, and in a story point of view they are supposed to be defeated with calmness, and planning. you can see this in World War Z and other things where, the survivors use careful planning in defeating zombies.
With infected, you instead see people simply having to run for their lives, and the militaries of say GB or America, Quarantine themselves and let the zombies starve. i also don't see how infected could survive more then a month, we are relatively weak creatures and would fail at attempting to eat most wild life. eventually just eating each other as their starved corpses start to liter the street.
