Make sure you reference it as non-lethal, not soft kill. This is a good idea, as most weapons can have a non-lethal round fire from them without modification, esp shotguns, m203, etc.

Happened to me on my own server. Just remind yourself that it is an alpha. Shit happens when you're testing a game, probably best that you began your journey recollecting your stuff.

I think this is a horrible idea. Making ammo rare, esp for top tier weapons, will make people better appreciate and spend more time counting their rounds, rather than sitting on a hill sniping noobs with a .50 cal. If you don't want to lose ammo, use a pistol or an axe, save the big guns for situations that count.

I was running through the woods (no clue about locations at the time) with a new found friend when a man ran out of the woods being chased by zombies. He proceeded to hack up my friend (I was unarmed and actually never had a weapon up to this point). After he was done with his murderous rampage I quickly grabbed my friends axe from his corpse and head-shot him and the remaining zombies. After it was all done there was nothing but the sound of flies and me all alone, no clue where I was.

Best translation ever!

This makes sense. +1

You should really research a topic before you post. This is a repost of a repost etc...

Hahaha, that was messed up.

I like the idea of this. On foot patrols in Iraq we would commonly use a 1-point sling for our rifles and a 3-point sling for our shotguns (on our back) it was pretty easy to swap between the two when needed (mostly shotguns where used for breaching as it is considered a defensive weapon). I think the ability to switch between a primary weapon and a melee weapon would be kinda cool, such as the axe or crowbar. For those silent kills.

This is actually a pretty good idea. Only thing is if the server has name tags, you're screwed...

This is not true. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps infantry and we always kept our iron sights, ACOGs, PAQ-4s, and PAS-13's with us in case we needed to swap them out. You can mark your rifles railing system for just this purpose. Zeroing an optic doesn't require you to shoot it. Laser bore sighting and alignment is easy to do with any modern weapon. Besides in a war time environment (I deployed to Iraq twice) you commonly remove your optics to clean them and your weapon. I +1 this idea, if it is even at all possible. Versatility and the ability to adapt on the fly in combat saves lives.

Zombies are people ultimately reverted to their primitive state. Possessing the ability to use simple tools or weapons would not/should not be part of their being. IMO.

I see quite a few problems with this. The biggest one I see is, say a group of bandits attack you. One of them just got the game and hasn't got his first kill yet. What do you do? 'I don't want to be labelled a bandit forever, so I'll just kill all of them except for this one'. No it doesn't work that way. People shouldn't be segragated due to choices they may or may not have been forced to make. There are many situations in which people are required to do things they wouldn't on a normal basis and they may not be proud of those choices but they had to do what they needed to, to survive. A bandit isn't going to make himself stand out. Nor should he be forced too. I completely agree with you in that it has become a shoot on sight policy, no exceptions. At least it has for me, after about my 15th time of being murdered. But this is all just my opinion.

I use the mumble overlay, my friends and I never had an issue with it.
