In many many RP games (Like fivem and Arma3) Many people would rather die then go to prison. Like they always refuse to surrender because they know if they are dead, they will be safe from long jail time (most of the time). So what im wondering is is there some sort of incentive to letting them arrest you or some kind of penalty for dying in a shootout that would make some more hesitant to start shooting.

So my question is, is it still possible for large scale fights between cops and criminals to happen in the free world, outside of instances, and can SWAT be called at any time if a situation is critical enough, or are they only useable/playable during events like bank robberies? Like in plenty of RP games you always have the gang of players that like to cause trouble, so what im wondering is can a large shootout happen on the streets of a city or out in the county between dozens of players? And if said firefight is getting out of hand, can the cops call in SWAT? If so, how? As far as I can tell, public servers wont have a rank system so all cops are equal in a sense. So would it be a vote? Or perhaps the governor can call them, that is IF SWAT can be used in the free world.

So it says the player pop will be 300 to 500 players. Awesome. But what Im wondering is how many players can be in the same area? Will the whole world be seemless and open world, or will the map be in "sections" with certain amount of players in each area?

So I know the whole zombie thing is a bit overused and it has probably been suggested numerous times. But you cant deny how interesting it would be if devs managed to incorporate a proper zombie virus into the game (perhaps a Halloween only event?). I mean if the player population is gonna reach 300-500 players, you'd see some pretty huge hordes. I'd think it would be fun to see it happen in a more serious RP server personally. Like the initial infection, police responding only to become infected and see the virus sweep the server. I dont know how many players can be allowed in the same area, but you cant deny how interesting it would be to see something like this happen in a game like this. It's only a suggestion so if this idea is unpopular and/or not possible, no love loss.
