NO I say no for a few reasons, the first being that it does make it extremely difficult for new players like myself who just got the game. Now you experienced players can say its because im a noob (which is true), but when a new player joins they dont know any of the game mechanics or even the controls. i myself was setting in one spot for a bit trying to figure out all the controls. then after i sort of got that i began to explore, but not having a gun prevented me from going into places where there might be guns, because i didn't know what would cause the zombies to start tracking me. while i think it is a interesting concept to start with no gun, at the same time the game already has lots of things that new players need to figure out and get a hang of. taking away their only means of defense just increases the amount of things they have to deal with. perhaps a solution to this issue would be make it an option for servers so they can pick if they want their players to spawn with a gun or not.
