I agree, it is way too early to discuss this as the game has to be finished first to even consider switching or upgrading the engine. I also agree that they should have just used the "Arma 3 engine" and resources. Some they did, like some of the items (e.g. water bottles) but I don't understand why they made entirely new character models and animations when Arma 3 had that awesome stance system ready to go.

All that would simulate is lag. You can simulate some things with delays, such as eating for example or switching weapons. There is already a delay between acquiring a target and firing at it in-game (not to* mention the information being sent back and forth between clients and server), I don't see how adding a further delay would simulate inaccuracy in anyway, in fact it would just be an annoyance. You can never fully simulate firing in real life unless you have the technology to simulate the same physical conditions as when firing a real weapon. You can't just put in whatever you want for the sake of "realism" and throw gameplay fluency out of the window. Am I the only one to think this is a terrible suggestion? Am I missing something?

Complexity is not always a good thing because sometimes to make a game more enjoyable and/or work/act as intended you need to sacrifice complexity for game-play. Some people on these forums unfortunately fail to realise that and make ridiculous suggestions like dental hygiene. I am all for complexity but not to the point where it makes a game like a chore or hinders game-play to the point where it is annoying or even game-breaking.

That first idea would be just plain stupid, you have mentioned this delay before and it is just a terrible idea, just like the random dispersion, there are better ways; add to that possible lag/desync and you'll be in hell, it'd make it just as random as random dispersion, which defeats the purpose of what you want accomplished. The second idea is good however.

Oh another one of those high horse threads. Thank you for adding to the pile, your contribution and sacrifice is appreciated <_<

Terrible idea for a bike personally (the image). I think you are over thinking it a little when it comes to bikes and how they should operate, they should be much simpler than that. As for damage, in the mod the only way you could bust the tires was to repeatedly slam it against a rock/building/tree, they were quiet strong tbh.

Yup :)

Wow, I don't check the forum for a week and suddenly all these tank and helicopter threads. Wtf is going on, did everyone lose their minds?

Those "shooting sticks" look just terrible.

Lol indeed, what would be the purpose in knowing whether there are girls playing this game and if they enjoy themselves or not? Are you doing a marketing study? Or as Irish says, are you just welcoming puberty? :D

Well so far I have always declined, once was as a new spawn with no gear where two fully geared guys tried to steal my blood, I told them to suck it and attacked them with my fists and was promptly shot. The other in the firehouse in Elektro, I had met some friendlies and we got surrounded by a Russian gang who ordered us to give up. I had a pistol with one clip, decided that I wouldn't, took one down with me but the others riddled me with bullets from their M4s. Anyway, if I felt like "roleplaying" and/or if they were actually doing a good job at robbing me or were funny/amusing, I'd probably let them just to have the experience. Any other time, especially when they are being dicks, I'll fight to my last breath :)

Do you live on another planet or something?

Learn to play the game.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for the OP or something? I am confused.

After reading OP this is all I could think about:

In before deforestation event on 100 man server.

2 hour restart seems to be too short tbh.

That doesn't even make sense. If you have everyone spawn in Berezino you will have to go somewhere else for loot because it will have no loot to begin with.

You shouldn't have swapped food and ammo at the coast. :P That is a different situation at the pub, you knew where those guys were. However if he doesn't know where he is getting shot from or where the shooters are positioned, a tactical retreat would be the best choice, nothing cowardly about that, it is a smart move. If you don't know where the enemy is and you are being shot at, staying there would be just stupid.

I thought you were an admin :p

Interesting take on this but I can't say I agree with it in terms of it being a valid reason. I could care less if people get back to their dead body and reloot it. It may as well be someone else who loots his body, I don't think that is an issue at all. Besides when bodies start to stay longer on the ground in the future, it won't matter anyway where you spawn, since you'll be able to get back to your loot before the body de-spawns, given that nobody else has looted it. The real issue is, a high number of people being concentrated in a very small area of the map and the rest of the map being mostly deserted. I personally don't even remember the last time I visited the West side of the map, it has been so long.

By looking to the South or SE, apparently that is where the sun rises and sets.

Haven't read anything with regards to attachments. That said, I agree, as long as the attachments make sense in the way they effect the weapon, they should alter how the weapon operates/handles e.g. a foregrip reducing weapon sway and recoil. However the cone bs should really be removed ASAP.

You had fun until you encountered the supposed cheater. I'd see the bright side of it instead of whining about it. Sure it sucks to encounter cheaters (that is if it was indeed a cheater) but to die and gear up again is part of the fun of the game.

That is a bad bad idea, it would work if it was a private server (i.e. private hive) but not on public servers.
