I like what the server is doing currently, but I can totally see opportunities to increase difficulty a little bit. Some ideas (which to be fair, haven't really been thought through very well by me):
* Zombies... and not the crazy kind.... maybe just small groups of wandering Zombies that only respond to sound and line of sight to hassle you a bit. Give you something to shoot at every once in awhile and make you keep your guard up a little.
* More AI. Missions are cool, and can be difficult just starting out. I'd like to see random AI encounters outside of missions along supply routes, cities, military bases etc. Nothing crazy. Maybe a patrol (2 or 3 AI with light weapons and maybe a light vehicle that isn't worth much and must be traded before server reset or it disappears). Anyway, again, just enough to force you to keep your guard up (like Zombies).
* Limited PVP. Only in designated areas on dedicated missions. Make players choose a side and have a small skirmish. Not a free for all gun battle, but a legit "match", completely optional to attend, with limits on weapons and vehicles. In fact, take vehicles out of the equation all together. Make it a battle over a town and to the victors, special loot or incentive of some kind.)
I'm new here, so I'm happy with the way it is for now. But the ideas above could be interesting.
