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.

Do you have a G17 by chance?

Hey Swordy, looking to run some items down for your crew if interested. I sure hope you retrieved those AS50's and Ammo, along with the extra M9SD/w/5 mags gift. They shut that server down. Not my fault if you missed them buddy. I sure Hope not, as I have not been able to find much 12.7 Nato rounds lately. Just to let you know, I am looking for the items listed below.

SA baby.... SA Dren

An insta kill like this does not seem to fit within the balance of this Mod/Game to me. But that's the beauty of the modding world. I think this would be a frustrating thing to me, so it would only be annoying.

Used to run with 2 GTX 275's with the same option line code. Now I have a GTX 680 with seriously no difference. Need a new MB and CPU soon. Arma 2 is the utter sponge of CPU... makes me cry a little bit

I like almost everything you had to say. Not just because your a female that plays DayZ, but partly. I'm not trying to be to sexist, but at times we all are. In this day and age, part of the reason for the KOS mentality is due to the way "us" guys handle the situation. Now, with that said, I am positive I'm going to get some hell bent female players telling me they are just as "rawr" as the next guy, but that isn't the case as a whole. I really hope this does not get a misinterpretation, because what I am trying to point out is the friendly perspective to this game. Yeah I laughed when you said, "holding hands is fun" not so much the male way to explain it, but that is one of the reasons I don't play as much as I used to. Hell that's one of the reasons I don't play many MMO's. Seems as though this generation is taking the "online friend" category and re writing it to be of less worth than their RL friends. Maybe it would be nice to see people start treating their online newly found contacts, with a bit more value, instead of treating them as disposable. What this is creating is the concept of "disposable single use friends" and I really can not adapt to this, maybe due to age, maybe due to who I am. Bottom line is, this was a good story. I would say your on track with the way people are evolving within the gaming community's. But this is just mho, take it for what its worth. Don't stop playing as a friendly, we have few enough as it is. Hope to run into you on the zombie killing floor. Dren

*WARNING* thread has been highjacked by stupidity.

Shit... I am scared to death of the rock monsters. At all times steer clear of them, walk slowly by em. Watch them till your 15 meters away.

Please for the love of Good/Evil... Please Dev Team, you have got to put that type of shit in the SA. Random, Rare encounters with scary ass shit in the middle of the woods would be an epic moment for me.

I like you AussieStig ;) oh and I kinda like you Practical ;) Now would both of you stfu, cause its a shit load better hearing your opinions about the actual relevancy of issue, than how much either of you might jerk one another off. The MK48 would not be considered an assault "rifle" either, but its my go to secondary. My primary is the M4SD for the obvious.

thats funny shit, to bad its wasted on the youth of the dayz community. Bet he would give you a half rack of Pepsi to give you that damn Gerbil back?
