Ignoring the whole feral dogs vs wolves debate, this would actually be quite nice to see if the wolves attacked zombies, too. It'd be interesting to stumble upon a city and find a pack of wolves going at it with some freshly-spawned zombies. It would also add to the "dog eat dog" post-apocalyptic world of Chernarus, instead of feeling like everything is only out to get "you." For God's sake, though, do not have them run around zigzagging as cartoonishly as the zombies already do. If these things are going to be considerably faster than an average player, then they need to be somewhat manageable.

Well, if we're going to delve into semantics... I went and got Arma 2 (and subsequently DayZ) because of DevilDogGamer's Youtube channel, of which Gump is a major part of.

Just wondering; the G36 uses STANAGs or STANAG SDs, correct?

"I'd wager to say that the substitution of the AS50 and the M107 with the KSVK would be a sort of middle-ground compromise between the players that are for/against the removal of .50 cals. The KSVK is bolt action, and I believe it only has 5 rounds per clip. It also fits into the post-Soviet environment of Chernarus much better than either of the other .50 caliber sniper rifles. On the other hand, it uses the same type of scope as the SVD, which makes it extremely easy to use if you know how to use the built-in rangefinder."

I agree. It's actually a bit disappointing to see so few weapons in DayZ when you look at the sheer amount of firearms that are already in vanilla Arma 2 + OA. A larger variety (even though many weapons use the same caliber cartridges) of weapons would add to the enjoyability of scavenging/looting, and would also allow for some of the more powerful weapons (namely the AS50 and M107) to become much rarer without negatively affecting gameplay. First things first; we need more Eastern-Bloc weapons, and Arma 2 has a ton of them.

I do agree that both of those weapons are a bit too easy to find, especially when you take Chernarus' fictional location into account. I personally believe that they should be much harder to find, and that the KSVK should be added in.

Sounds reasonable. Survivors who aren't interested in killing anyone that crosses their path would have a much better chance of finding each other. The rest of the population can enjoy the DM/TDM match on their own. You'll always have the kitted-out children that camp the coast for "teh lulz," but they're relatively easy to avoid (depending on where you spawn).

I'm surprised that the PKM is nonexistent in DayZ. Considering Chernarus' post-Soviet/Eastern Bloc location, it's quite strange to see M249s and M240s, yet PKMs (and RPKs for that matter) are nowhere to be found.
