the physics of dayz

[arabatur 4]

i dont know is there anyone talk about this before, start from dayz mod, i just think the physics dayz is bad, for example, when i using a melee weapon hitting a zombie, zombies dont have any blood spill from their body, dont have any reaction or signal is showing it is hitting by me, i only can listen a little sound from hitting, sometimes i reli feel like i am not hitting it, will dayz SA can make this better, i hope u guys understand what i say

Not that zombies would bleed at all, if they were dead.

actualy if i recall in DayZ it are Infected from a virus, not dead. so yes they can bleed.

Perhaps they are? I hadn't heard anything of the sort, but I haven't heard much beyond the fact that they're zombies, which are commonly portrayed as being dead.

But they're not dead. Rocket said they are infected people, like in 28 Days/Weeks Later. Still living, but with a rabies-like virus making them insane.

 

And I agree, the melee system needs some work. Sometimes it's really hard to hit with them, especially if you're moving, and there's barely any indication when you do except for a tiny "bump" noice. You swing your weapon in an arc, so you shouldn't have to aim that tiny dot precisely at the zombies head to land a hit. I really like that you can knock zombies and people out though, but sometimes you have to hit a player twenty times with a bat before they fall unconscious.

 

Overall I like the new melee system but it needs some work. 

 

Oh, and I hope they change the sound effects when you hit a wall or something with a melee weapon! I almost shit my pants when I hit a tree and it sounds like someone's shooting at me. :P

Dayz has physics?

Confirmed by Rocket many, many times. The 'zombies' in DayZ are humans infected with a virus.

[louist 163]

Infected by a virus doesn't necessarily mean they are still alive.

Still, I concede my point.
