Nope not so much

Pretty sure the idea was a token incentive of some form... ears for instance would be great. I believe the concept was his point not the details.

Do you think for one second that a sniper is running from zombies and just killing indiscriminately in real life?

I believe the idea was that they would have to get up close and personal as to actually collect the tags (because in theory they would be used for some form of reward or recognition otherwise unattainable?) from the people they killed as opposed to just sitting back and killing anyone they see from a distance far from harms way. Making them a form of currency so to speak.

Spawning without SOME form of weapon is just annoying. If you can't melee (realism? not quite, so at least start with a melee weapon - preferably changed to be in the pistol slot rather than the rifle slot. Even when you get a weapon you really don't want to use it because you end up summoning everything within a hundred yards in an attempt to get a single zombie off your tail... or you know lose your rifle... Zombies don't leash and can potentially chase you forever, as you spawn with absolutely no means of defense this is a bit of a bad combo (games are supposed to be fun, even hardcore ones.) (Not asking to spawn with an assault rifle, pistol, grenade launcher, and a tactical nuke, just the basest of means of defending yourself would be nice...) Sure there are plenty of axes around, but they're more often than not in a building surrounded by zombies. Good luck getting one without getting aggro at least once or twice, because you have no idea if it's even going to be in that building you just spent 15 minutes prone crawling in to in order to avoid getting zombie-rage trained. Or you end up dying of thirst/hunger before you can find one... good times.
