I bet there are people (not me) who would want a PvE version of this game.

Check your visibility rating when crouched, its probably 50+ A zombie will see you easily if you remain in its line of sight for more than a few seconds. I suggest trying to sprint towards a tree or fence.

Thanks nightpaws. I had lurked on these forums for the past few weeks before trying DayZ and I really only felt compelled to post because the forums were painting a completely different picture of the zombies difficulty to what actually exists.

Hi, First of all, I started playing only on 1.7.2 and I have to say I am already not caring about the zombies. They are so easy to lose that it is a joke and if you plan your movement you can avoid agro completely in most cases. Last night I did a lap of Cherno and sure I did agro some zombies but after taking some quick turns or running through a house I lost them every time. One other situation comes to mind where there were 4 zombies walking northbound and I wanted to cross the street to the east of them. I waited behind a fence until they moved past my position and then sprinted across to the west side of the road no less than 10 meters behind them. I like this run and hide gameplay a lot more than crawl and crouch (my very brief experience of 1.7.5 prior to patch) I am only making this post because of all the recent angst on the forums about 1.7.2 being broken which I do not believe to be the case. TL;DR I think the zombies are very easy to deal with, its almost as if their deaf currently.
