Yes to building shelter. I think that'd be ace - a bit like 'Rust'. And more goals in general. I think I'm a bit bored now and I've only had a successful day.
I had a couple of really shitty deaths from jumping off tiny ledges or tripping down a flight of stairs so I've been playing super carefully since this morning.
I got onto a good thing - spawned in the woods in north east near the small air strip, made my way into and lucked out and found tactical vests, combat trousers, raincoats (though still not sure about the real value of these), mountain bag, m4 with attachments, .45 acp with attachments, TWO canteens and the mother of all finds: a can opener.
Now I actually know how to operate things it seems really easy. I made my way west through a few towns, stopping at supermarkets, picking up cans of food and refilling canteens etc. I also read somewhere that you should just eat all the food instead of saving it for a rainy day:
Apparently you start with 2000 food in your system or something and then when you go below that you get 'hungry', but the upper cap is like 40,000 or something so you can just eat like a fat bastard and never really need to worry about starving again. Similar for water. Again this is 'internet' knowledge so no idea if accurate but I've eaten like 30 cans of food today and I'm 'energized', 'hydrated' and 'refreshed' or something like that. I also have loads of space in my bags for chunky M4 magazines.
I then spent an hour or so scoping out the big air/military base in the north west to make sure there were no bandits lurking. I then climbed on top of a guard tower and fired a few rounds into the air, bringing all the zombies for miles around running towards me, picking them off from safety. Then made my way into the camp and cleaned up on ammo, magazines, and other clobber.
I've now fitted both my pistol and assault rifle with silencers and given that I'm just lurking on the airfield I can see zombies running at me from a distance and use a scope to pick them off quietly.
One thing I'm surprised by is how far zombies can see you from. I was in the woods miles from any building in a little valley (so no real line of sight) and just by chance I turned round and saw something in the distance. I stayed watching it and it was zombie running flat out towards me. Also not sure whether zombies can open doors. It seems they can't and instead just run straight through walls and float around under the floorboards for a bit. Pretty sure they can't come up ladders though.
I still haven't found any long range rifles. I found an SKS but I was hoping for something a little more snipey. Maybe with a bipod? Possible?
Going to head to a more populated server soon and get social and see if that gives it more replay value.
