i agree with christopher for the most part here.
before, a skilled player was able to run around, blasting away, not
caring much if they got killed.
now we care, and that is a huge advantage to the game experience in my
opinion.
i still haven't quite figured out how to tell if zombies are far
away, or behind a wall yet, and there seem to be tons of them
congrigating there south of the safe zone. with some zombies not
panning properly as the mouse is moved, its a huge problem, even with
plenty of ammo.
also, although i managed to get out of the safe zone building after
spawning there once, i was not able to do so again, even after trying to
go around the perimeter of the building in hopes of finding a door.
quite frustrating.
as jeremy said, this is a major release, so will take some tweaking
and feedback, but i for one hope no matter what, he puts in a beginner
server for the newer players to get going, and a second server for those
that are experienced and want a real challenge.
this is now a pretty hard game to get momentum in, and a lot of
potential new players are going to give up if they can't get in a few
easy kills while learning the game.
also, i would reverse the order of the options when hitting enter in
the safe zone. once we've read the history etc. no need to have to arrow
through all that every time you wanna withdraw or deposit to the safe
zone. glad you guys put sound effects in the menus, makes the game feel
more professional and crisp.
also, has anyone tried the field kits' new range ability to heal
others? i only found one field kit so far, and was promptly zombie
fodder, so i didn't get to check it out.
btw, if you see a player named B A in there, thats me, for better or
for worse.
later

What I'm trying to learn currently is how to judge the weapon range in
audio, so I know when I'm at close range and can start axe murdering.

Ok, got to run around a bit this afternoon while my kids were watching the
Muppet Show. (And if that isn't cognitive dissonance, what is?) Anyway, in
contrast to a lot of commentary I heard in game and here, I *love* the new
feel of the game. I found myself acting as I would in that situation, i.e.
being extremely cautious, stopping a lot to listen, walking a lot instead
of
running, and trying to take zombies at long range when I had the weapons.
I
have a new appreciation for the hunting rifle.
Some things that seem problematic. There are zombies that don't appear to
track correctly as I move my mouse, that is, the sound stays in the same
place. I got killed by one of those buggers.
Buying weapons with reputation seems to be broken. I only have this from
radio chatter, but it appears that people tried buying weapons and
couldn't
though the reputation score changed, they didn't get weapons.
All in all, this is a new game for me and I'm excited to master the new
techniques.
