    The PvP Discussion Thread

    The problem I have with PvP is not getting killed by mistakes I made, it's that in a game that is supposedly all about freedom and letting you "write your own story in a post apocalyptic world", your freedom and story writing ability is SEVERELY curtailed by snipers who strike from behind a tree on a ridge 400 yards away. To me this game is about playing smart and trying to dodge a relentlessly pursuing enemy that will surely kill you if you activate them, and the tough choices of whether or not to trust a total stranger. But when you can't even carefully move through a city without getting your head taken off by a guy you never saw and will never even come down to raid your pack is stupid and not the kind of game that most people want. If I wanted to get constantly sniped by spawn campers I would go play Counter Strike. My last FIVE deaths have come from long distance snipers that I never saw, 3 of those were within 5 minutes of spawning. This is an awesome mod, no doubt, and it's more fun with the PvP element for sure, but people aren't going to keep coming back just to be sniper fodder. It's too frustrating and you never even get to do what you came to the game to do in the first place. My 2 cents
