www.pcgamer.com/2012/11/16/dayz-2017-mod-download-aims-to-make-the-zombie-apocalypse-less-military-more-hobo/
It's what it says on the link. Less military, more hobo. Basically the survivors in Day Z currently are soldiers with training to handle all kinds of weapons, to use various medical items and even fly helicopters. Being based on a military simulator, it's not wonder but it kinda breaks the illusion that all the survivors are soldiers. Or maybe it doesn't: only the fittest survive and who are fitter than soldiers with proper training?
Day Z 2017 will make it more like in the movie Book of Eli (starring Denzel Washington, a decent film). Everyone gets what they can to survive. Clothes are dirty and don't match, cars are all rusty and there isn't much supplies available. Especially the amount of weapons will be toned down, and it seems that there won't be any military hardware available anymore. My prediction is that there will still be hunting rifles/shotguns, some handguns and axes.
It will play on a custom map and I think the premise looks and sounds good. I wonder how would these changes affect gameplay? Would survivors team up more often? What are your thoughts on this upcoming mod to a mod?
