It seems a lot of effort for incredibly little gain, the battling zombies, even with an axe, which needs it's own seperate manual.
The map helps to figure out where you should go for every item but I find it somewhat rediculous I needed to know about no less then 2 online maps to make sense of an ingame situation, and having to alt tab in a game like this, especially when you see the name of a town you just entered can often turn into suicide.

And as far as the makarov being removed, as you said yourself, agro'ing zombies is a massive problem with them, combine that with their low power and the rather low 8 bullets only really makes it viable for getting into one or two drop locations.
Do you honestly believe starting you off with very low ammo isn't survival enough? The low ammo crappy makarov IS what you would put into a survival focussed game, removing it seems just completely pointless and just another barrier to get into the game without reading a godamn manual.

Also sneaking systems are all fun and such but the extremely shitty controls and the bad programming just make it either a extremely slow ride of boredom or playing it more loose which makes it impossible to shake the aggro before you can grab your items.

This just feels like one of those bad patches that makes a game stupidly difficult after fans have been complaining it was too easy, I think I'll wait till future updates fix this shit and focus on the many better games I have.

Edit: And yeah, I am kind of pissed off, from what I've seen from the numerous Destiny material this seemed like an incredibly enjoyable game, to only find out now that to reach that point you have to spend 15 min to an hour depending on luck and spawn position to even get a basic weapon, from where you can actually start playing this game, if this was a one or couple of times thing I would'nt mind but at this point I spent so much time on that bullshit, it's just frustrating.

I get the idea of having no weapons to fight and being chased, in Amnesia or Penumbra for instance it works incredibly well, however there it works because it's actually scary due to the game's atmosphere, story and enemy design, in this case it's like you're being chased by a bunch of annoying parasites that sound like dogs and wear idiotic french berets, it takes me out of the game and wastes a lot of my time on tedious busywork.
