Everything is really slow

[Scorcher24]

The walking is really way too slow. Everything in this game feels so "heavy" and unnatural.
I don't like this part.

Also, how do you use medbags when you picked them up and why can't I pick one up while holding an AK47?

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

unnatural? so you sprint all the time in real life? ever tryed to swing an axe bro?
its not left4dead

you can use medpacks by holding 1 and clicking on it.

you need room in your inventory to pick 1 up

Don't give me this "realism ho" thing please.
We are talking about a game with Zombies.
But then, even in Arma you can walk faster.
I wasn't talking about sprinting at any point.
And if I would walk as slow as this in real life,
I probably wouldn't even get out of the house before 6pm.

Uh, no.
The big point from what I've seen is to emulate a realistic zombie apocalypse. Most games like to look at it as "Mowing down zombies like a John Deere" and that's not everyone's cup of tea.

I fail to see how this awful slow walking speed is helping there though. Adjust it a bit upwards, tweak the zombies accordingly and there is no problem. Same game. Just a bit faster walking speed. For me, this is really a big gamekiller. Because nobody walks that slow, except maybe 80 year old ladies with a walking frame.

Well, would you walk faster if there was a horde of zombies in the area?
I wouldn't. The idea is to not draw attention to yourself.

It depends what rules the zombies follow.
If they follow the L4D rules, you better run.
If they are like WD Zombies, you better sneak.
They could also add sneaking as a third option.
Sneak, Walk, Run.
I still don't see your point.

It's true that since zombies are totally a fictional thing, how they behave is quite important.

In the game, though, it makes sense - they can easily mob you if you get surrounded, and will gravitate toward you upon sight or sound. So it makes sense that you'd want to move carefully.

That said, you CAN run, but it's not a good idea unless you're already in danger of being mobbed.

And walking speed is decent if you're not carrying a ton of stuff.

Having a faster movement speed wouldn't solve much, since in order to balance the game the zombies would have to be faster too. Since nearly all the zombies you encounter are much slower than you, you have plenty of time to act in order to ensure your survival.

Stamina my friends, stamina. The game is unforgiving in this regard.
