    Humans always seek the path of least resistance, and always (ab)use any advantage possible. That's just in our nature, sad as it might be.

    If someone can disconnect to avoid being killed, they will do so.

    If someone can disconnect, log onto another server and flank you, then log back into your server, they will do so.

    If someone can kill you without consequence, they will do so.

    If someone can use cheats or scripts to gain an advantage, they will do so.

    If you want a game, or people in general, to move in a specific direction you need to impose rules and whip them into place. Incentives only go so far, and are by far the least effective method of making humans follow directions.

    There needs to be a mechanic that prevents and punishes people using logoffski to save themselves.

    There needs to be a mechanic that prevents and punishes people logging off to flank or ambush people by moving "unseen" on other servers.

    There needs to be features that encourage teamplay above deathmatch.

    There needs to be a mechanic that prevents and punishes people for using cheats and scripts.

    Until those things are implemented, this game will remain a deathmatch sniper simulator with the options to avoid death by logging off, or gaining advantages by abusing cheats, exploits and scripts.

    Once you got your AS50, Ghillie Suit and have a camp with some friends, with plenty of food and drink... then where do you go from there? You get bored and go kill people, cause there's not really anything else to do. You got the best gear, you don't need to run into towns to get food and drink... the best you can hope for is being killed and start from scratch again.

    So much truth in your post. I just reflected on my last play session and really 80% consisted of sniping people in the cities or at the airfield. I never disconnect or shit since you can get your stuff back in minutes if you know what to do, so I see it as a challenge to kill the sniper who killed me.

    I gotta admit that the game in its current state is one of the best sniping simulations out there and sniping gives me the biggest thrill I've ever experienced in a video game so far. IMO they should remove all military snipers and just leave the CZ550 in game and make it rare as fu**.

    Hey, I've played for two weeks now and my current squad/group is slowly disbanding. I mostly played with silenced weapon and I was the guy for taking out zombies and players from close range while my guys covered me with the sniper. My newest char is 2d old and has something like 427/170/3 stats wise.

    I'm looking for a group of 2+ people (preferably german or english) who play a lot and take the game a little bit more serious.

    You can PM me for contact details and stuff. :)
