jdz (DayZ)

Exactly the same here. At the moment I have an M4CCO SD, M24,GPS,Range finder and night vision. I will never disconnect in a fire fight, I may run away if I know I am going to love but I will never disconnect

Don't fucking use it, it's a dick head move. If you're going to use spawned in weapons, you may as well spawn them in yourself and be just as bad as the hacker.

Both are great, M14 has the dot which can give it a little more range but in saying that, the FN FAL have great iron sights and shoots incredibly flat. Personal preference.

Thought this was going to be a shit thread, was pleasantly suprised.

ITT - People who never played before bandit skins were removed like to complain

Yes, because they remove a lot of the skill and there is no reason to use much rarer rifles like the SVD. No, because alt+f4ers.

I'd like to see them removed as they can also act as a range finder, not to mention making a compass and GPS almost redundant.

Why should the bandit skin look good? It encourages people to become less hostile, imo. Whatever suits you though

You guys have to remember that this is a simulator, it's not super, mega realistic but it keeps to the basics really well. Personally, I prefer 1st person only servers and I will admit that it does take a wee while to get used to but once you're used to it, it's great.

Keep crosshairs off, they're incredibly over powered. 3rd person is ok for traveling but it's cheap when it comes to fire fights. The server I play on is 1st person only and no crosshairs or names, so much more intense. I'm curious as to why people want waypoints? It takes a lot out of the navigation aspect

I like this thread. The DMR, M24,SVD and CZ550 are really redundant in this game when you have the M107s. I've never even seen a SVD camo or M24 in the barracks yet I find heaps of 50cal rifles at chopper crashes. We really need a reason to choose these over the 50cal rifles

Hacking Duping Disconnecters Artifacting Vehicles In that order

People are crying about AS50s? Wut? I think they're overpowered and shouldn't be in DayZ but I still accept they're in the game and this game isn't about balance, it's risk vs reward. People are complaining about the duping and spawning in of them and the false economy it is creating

Anyone else having this issue? I am constantly seeing people getting kicked for script restrictions, including myself and then having to wait 10 minutes to join a server. Seems to be worse on some servers. Damn annoying

Working fine for me and I quite like it. I don't go Rambo with my M4 SD now

They aren't a legit item, it's been known for ages now...

This isn't a 'remove 50cal sniper rifles!1!!1!!oneeleven!1!!!1!!' thread I'm curious to hear peoples thoughts on the .50cal rifles. Yesterday I was roaming around the Stary area and had a friend who was on the Southern Stary hill, facing the hill looking over the tents. He was trying to counter snipe the snipers over Stary tents. He tells me he has taken fire but they've missed him and he's taken up a new position and is scouting for him. 2 minutes prior to this I've found a heli crash site and it has an L85 so I grab that and try to locate this sniper, I spot him. I pull out my SVD and wait for the right time to shoot, unfortunately he manages to spot and takes a shot at me, he misses even though I am proned but I manage to get up and run through the thickest bushes possible, some how he manages to hit me whilst I'm sprinting at full speed through super thick bushes. I die, AS50 at 500m isn't an ideal situation to be in. My friend decided to move around and try catch him off gaurd if/when he loots my body but is also shot with an AS50 whilst sprinting through super thick bush. This leads me to think he may be using a thermal AS50, maybe even an aimbot of some sort because I know how hard it can be to hit running targets. Anyway, I have an AS50 and M107 at our base but I choose to use the SVD for my own reasons. 50cals seem to take a lot of the skill out of sniping, you don't need to worry about hitting the upper body at all, as long as you hit somewhere, you're gauranteed the kill. I'm curious to hear peoples opinions on the matter, personally I don't think they should be in the game but at the same time I know this game isn't about balance and it is supposed to be hard

They aren't ingame, they were taken out. If they were there, I'd have had one. I've had every piece of kit ingame, even the rocket launcher.

It's not ingame, ffs. How many times does it need to be said?!?!?! I REPEAT, IT IS NOT INGAME!

DayZ is not a military simulator, it's built off one though. I do know how big a .50 cal round is and how devistating it is I do know that they're also for taking out vehicles. I am a firearms collector, not some kid who learns everything about firearms from COD and Battlefield. I also realize this game is meant to be harsh, as stated in the original post. I was not asking for it to be taken out either, merely trying to encourage a decent discussion between all of the hacking threads. Now Mr.Smartypants, please read my original post before you get all cheeky again PS, I gave you my beans so you see this post.

Regarding the rarity of 50cal rifles, I've only ever found 1 M24 and 1 SVD camo. The other day I found 4 crashed helicopters and 3 of them had M107s. I've also shot 3 people with my SVD and all of them got up and ran away... I know, I should've hit them in the head but at 600m away, no zoom and limited visibility, it is very hard to hit exact head shots.

Any sniper rifle other than the DMR is useless at night because it's the only one that can be used with night vision

No one? :/

Various script restrictions, I've seen the whole server get kicked multiple times. It's only shows a number, script restriction #91 seems to be a big one

Using blatantly hacked in weapons is a dick head thing to do, even of they are ingame
