Yay! Really glad they are doing this as I have a bandit skin and I was going straight this time but had some Makarov toting fool shooting at me so I killed him and I get a skin again and now every survivor who sees me opens fire on me because it's a kill without losing anything!
So now at least I can move around without being shot from every direction.

Its going to be awesome. With this and the next-to-be killing of the global chat Role play is going to skyrocket. That or pure Killem-all attitude Id love to have a SimHQ "company of brothers"...

Heheh yeah I hate that global chat, earlier today here I am sneaking out of a town past some walkers I hear a bunch of shooting close by, not sure if the shots were directed at me and some survivor runs right towards me, I drop prone in the grass and he runs not 5 feet from my head as I aim at his face waiting to see what he does, and then on the Global Channel some guy says really loud: "CAN YOU SEE HIM BRIAN?" scaring the crap out of me...
I'm not sure if it's him saying that or his friend nearby or if they were looking to kill me or what, so I wait and wait and then after a few minutes not hearing anything more I get up and sneak past out of town with my loot...
Thankfully everyone else told him to shut the hell up on global channel so I didn't have to, it will be much nicer when we know if we hear something on voice comms it is coming from close by, and that dude almost lost his life from my itchy trigger finger getting spooked by the comms.

So now at least I can move around without being shot from every direction. I liked the bandit skin system with humanity count. it will be a shame to see it go. It wasn't the perfect solution to discourage open murdering in the mod, but it was good enough. Do note that he has kept the humanity system though. Hopefully he is cooking up an even better way to discourage the flagrant murdering. Personally, I think the bandit skins were removed because of technical difficulties, not necessarily gameplay reasons.

HI

I have been looking for that m4a3 with the silencer the whole game lol. Sofar the best gun I have run into is the shotgun just because it is a 15rd .45 winchester that shoots 12ga shotgun shells and is almost silent... man they need to fix that gun asap lol. Found it!! The ultimate Gucci gun in the game so far. I tend to shy away from other humans since finding it; Nothing says "kill me for my sweet gear!" like running around with a silenced M4A3 in your hands. It's great if you're seen by a zombie, as you can take him out without alerting the other 20 or so around him. Gotta conserve the ammo though, since it won't accept regular ammo, just the SD stuff.

So far I seem to stick with the Winchester since the ammo seems to be the most plentiful, it holds 15 rounds per mag and it seems to be one of the quieter guns, so you can actually take out some Zeds at the edge of towns without getting mobbed if you do it right, I've passed on the AK and other rifles when I have the Winchester since I'd rather have lots of ammo than an assault rifle with hard to find ammo.

What makes you think you're not gonna be shot from every direction now? Nothing but I did not like the un-realistic costume change because you have shot a survivor. It's like the cliche of a robber wearing a mask and striped jumper. And doesn't give the holier than thou survivors anything to be haughty about now.

I hope the bandit/survivor feature will be gone already in 1.58. Good move imo.
I will ignore all ideas for new works and engines of war, the invention of which has reached its limits and for whose improvement I see no further hope.

It'd be nice to see a single-player version of this I think it would lose it's magic and become just another zombie apocalypse game. (JMO)
