    It better not have NPC's or a whole bunch of people will whine about how the only way to truly be immersed in the game and have good emergent gameplay with hardcore realism is to have PvP. Did I miss any buzzwords? Besided reminding everyone that the game is only alpha.

    Perhaps it clears out areas full of zombies from above? That would mean players could swoop in and grab the loot the zombies leave. But perhaps there is a chance you could be mistaken by a zombie and get gunned down?

    My idea doesn't seem very likely, but it's all I can think of. :P

    Yeeeah, we need kill streaks too. 25 kills and you get a nuke. Everyone on the map dies.

    (Sarcasm) Do I need to make it clear?

    My guess would be another type of drop. I can't see how a heli could be put in game solely for combat, since it would be overpowered as all hell, nothing could touch it.

    Maybe just for transportation? There could be maybe 2-3 in the map, and clans\factions could continuously fight over them, build helipads on their bases with walled protection, etc.

    I think there needs to be more things like that that the bigger clans can fight over to take some pressure off the smaller groups and lone wolves.

    I would be okay with that, assuming it is solely for transportation. No reason to make clans even more powerful with a heli.

    Like most games with vehicles, if you can drive them there's going to be people who take them and kamikaze into other players or bases.

    Trello has been updated, the model dev working on it said something about improving the 'player view' so it would seem it will be something that can be ridden in.

    Some of the 'best practices' for base building going to have to be rethought if you can drop folks down from up above.

    Put pillars on your roofs up high. So if they try to drop onto your roof they will take fall damage or die.
    Unless their is some kind of rope/parachute thing.

    This is fantastic. And to all the people bitching about it being OP, band together to take one down or kill supposed "OP Clans" and steal it. That's the point of this game. Honestly this is a great idea, especially when dropping into loot areas and moving about.

    I was informed of this earlier, but use thumbail tags. It makes images much smaller.

    Like that.

    What if it's how you spawn? Helicopter flies in, drops you in the middle of nowhere, and takes off.

    That is a horrible idea. You guys seriously think that adds to the game in a positive way? Just my opinion.

    You don't know what the rules of engagement for the helicopter will be, it's not going to be a randomly spawning base destroyer. It will however under some situations have the ability to engage structures.

    If you want to talk about a horrible idea, it would be horrible if you could piss it off and then just sit behind 3 inches of steel and magically be protected forever
