As for this thread, I try my best to activate my "brain to mouth filter", but I am just bruised from face palms concerning how many people actually agree with this solution. Their are so many ways to help improve, on the sniper class of player, in games today. So why on earth would anyone recommend removal of these type of weapons, when those improvements can be implemented? The ONLY reason I can see for removal, is from people that NEVER play as a sniper, and do not have the skill to evade them. I'm sorry guys, I know this is something that a lot of you are angry about, and if you take a bit of time, you will see, I do NOT play as a sniper. But we want as many "real world applications" as possible, as long as it does not jeopardize the quality of actual game play for "ALL" styles of play. edit: On a last note, think about standing in front of Dean with this question. Dean, would you be willing to remove all types of sniper class/play style weapons from the SA? Really, WTF do you think he would say to you? That is if he didn't choose to call you a clot, then slap your mom for keeping you..... sorry was my filter malfunctioning again?

Im a hacker and I only......Take away peoples gear. Does that earn me something? good job OP, but seriously, do as bad mojo sugested and just take it, then drop it a bit later.

Ah yes the Northeast area of the map. My home base for camps all over the place. Its funny how long I kept tents in my favorite snorkeling lake. BTW: you can still place tents underwater, and that makes them a serious bitch to find. Also their are a few "great" small gully's 25-30 meters southeast of the tractor spawn located 200 meters southeast from the NEAF. These have all been great camps for many months at a time.

Setting up a bug radio, then setting up trip wire mines all over my camp. Then listen for the Joy of hearing camp raiders flying across the sky in agony. B)

How about the trip wire mines from Arma 3... my face says it all. Oh and the radios you can set to hear the bugged location coming in the SA? Damn, I just got myself excited, to bad im not a hot raging 20 year old beauty, I could go spend some time in front of a mirror. Sorry ladies, that was really sexist of me, Not to mention im old and married.

So seems to me that this thread has changed into a debate over the terms "Hardcore" and "Casual" or "Mainstream" or "Off the beaten path". Years ago I told me oldest son that games will all be morphing into a sub type of RPG, that will include action shooter, first person, free roam open world environments. I also explained the gaming industry will be phasing out complex and highly intricate, difficult niche gaming. We all know the reason for this is to cater to the masses, mainstream, casual and all ages. Guys I have been gaming for 34 years, and it has been one of my favorite hobbies. I was gaming when my piers said it was childish but I still loved the immerse environments that were created. Turns out, it is an entertainment industry that rivals the film/art people the world round. My point is one I do not relish, or feel helps the more hardcore/dedicated video game hobbyist. The gaming industry has: Loot level/Mob level, remove mind puzzles, take away tons of great stats, wipe clear the Hud, remove Races/classes.... it goes on Here are a few that have been morphed into "Games that everyone can play". Throughout their development, they were changed from what made them great, into what makes them MONEY... 1) Elderscrolls. a. Arena b. Daggerfall c. Morrownind (My Personal Fav) d. Oblivion e. Skyrim 2) Fallout a. One b. Two c. Three e. New Vegas 3) Fable a. Fable I b. Fable II c. Fable II e. Future installments Fable the Journey f. Future installments Fable V 4) Every fucking MMO left on the planet a. To many to list, but all following the model, "simple sells better". Anyone that has played these games(all of them)see a disturbing trend, that money will always trump quality. How they achieve that, is by making games that everyone can play. The numbers dictate what is created. As for Bohemia Interactive, they have stayed within the "Quality games, for Quality gamers" model and I don't give a fuck about people who fall outside these lines, and if you are a hardcore gaming enthusiast, then you shouldn't either. The OP has an opinion that seems to fit within the general populace of Casual gamers. It is his opinion, which seems to fit within the mass market Model. But again, I don't fit their, and Dayz is NOT meant to fit either. Rest at ease, Rocket will not sacrifice what he wants, just to become a millionaire..... hmm, I hope not.

Strange how no one has mentioned the ATV's on crack... they "never" stay where you leave them.

PC vs Console = Insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result". good ole Albert. In time you might understand why some discussions are no longer worth having, but maybe you are young enough that you haven't heard people have this "forum discussion" enough.

..... :(

Then you miss the point of subjects, that most people have come to accept as a stalemate, or otherwise unsolvable. I am all for "good discussion", but can you tell me what thread you have read recently, with the PC vs Console discussion, that has yielded or concluded with a viable conclusion? Having an opinion for the sake of just having one is a pain in the ass. Are you saying you encourage hearing people discuss the PC vs Console conversation for the hundredth time? Never mind, this is why people have learned not to discuss religion/politics from the warrior like "keyboard"....

Yeah, ok bud...

So tired of logging on the forums here to see threads like this. Seems as though the quality of discussion is always way below par these days. This thread, regardless of original intent, is one more Troll thread that will ultimately encourage spam like mine. So, like many more before me have said, "PC and Console gaming are not comparable", and the people that keep discussing it are the same type that choose to discuss religion/politics. It is a dame good thing I am not a moderator, as I would delete every thread that encouraged the PC vs Console discussion on ALL LEVELS.

A bad way to "nerf" the snipers??? I don't know how many ways their are, to point out how bad that comment truly is. You mean to give them more real world tactical challenges? Maybe attempt to make it more realistic? A way to make a sniper become actually "good" at his job? Or just take away the type of gunplay you like the best cause its easy as hell to "zero' "aim" then "kill" from 1000m? Instead of the last part of your comment, just change a few words and say, maybe we need to increase the tactical job of the sniper so when they get a kill from great distance, it is earned through using tools and training? "Nerfing snipers" they didn't change the strength of the sniper type weapons, nor are they reducing their drop rate again. They are suggesting to implement a "real world" variable that is utmost important to sniping. IMO your a sniper and your complaining that your job might start requiring you to use a "little bit" of skill, on windy days. Sorry man, Cry a bit more. This is a GREAT idea, if they can make it work with 2-3 types of windage gauges.

Then let me know what time zone your in, and we can set up a meet. Straight M9SD/w/4 mags for the G17/w/4 mags. Sound good? Also I do allot of trading with Swordsworn so if your ever looking for anything and you cant get a response from any of the "trading" clans, let me know. Dren

Someone said satchels don't work, like hell... If you can get a satchel anywhere near it, the surrounding buildings/vehicles/people are foder.
