Think *you're good at writing? Internet thinks not.

Not really, though AS50s will never be removed from my server; SOMETHING needs to take out armored bandit squads. Whatever, though; it's Rocket's decision overall. Ammo is bloody impossible to find. ;)

Do you want me to?

Note: This list is intended for an alternative reality in which I have access to military-grade equipment. Clothing and vehicles will not be discussed, as I have already written and read articles on those. If you have suggestions, tips, contradictions, or your own lists, feel free to share. Primary Weapon 1: Hk MP2000 Unfortunately, Wikipedia had a stunt article. Please don't tl;dr! Though the MP2000 looks similar to earlier MP5-series weapons, it is intended to capitalize on HK's experiences with submachine guns, mashing several older models together. THe MP is a recoil-operated weapon firing from the closed-bolt position. It features a collapsing stock, forward grip, and removable suppressor. The fire selector is ambidextrous. SS, SA, A fire rates. The MP uses lightweight plastic magazines that are not compatible with the MP5 family. The sight mount easily accepts most scopes and electro-optical sights. THe silencing system is very unique. Like the MP5SD weapons, the 2K silences standard ammunition by bleeding away some of the propellant gases through holes in the barrel, thus preventing the bullet from reaching supersonic speed. The bleed holes on the MP2K can be closed, however allowing it to fire standard rounds at normal velocity when silenced operation isn't required. The bolt can be locked to prevent mechanical noise but force semi-automatic fire. http://www.gods-inc.de/macavity/shadowrun/weapons/hkmp2057.jpg A close second is the Vektor 45ACP. Primary Weapon 2: Stoner 25 by KAC Semi-automatic sniper rifle, fairly accurate. I would take the Stoner 25K, an extra-reduced carbine version. Secondary Weapon: FN Five-SeveN Basically a pistol that fires 5.7mm in an action that doesn't reduce stopping power, and marginally affects accuracy and range when suppressed. In other words: Cracking skulls without any noise. I'm likewise not going to cover melee weapons. Thoughts? Contradictions? Have your own list? :)

Try playing in 1280x720...

You have to lay down (don't hit WSAD or anything) for quite a bit.

I cry a little bit inside every time this topic gets a new thread.

Try spelling barracks right? That could help.

Well. You can see how "ex admin" would have made A LOT more sense.

You should. Grammar* is very important. Not true. Sorry that you apparently suck at the game, but repaired vehicles stay repaired.

I don't know what an "a x admin" is. He couldn't have just said, "As admin" ?

Sorry, what country does this game take place in?

Now if they just add under barrel shotguns... I want a shotgun mounted to my shotgun on top of a shotgun.

Run on sentences man. Are you an admin or not? I'm confused.

Make them rarer and more useful on top of being reusable? Plus the new "You are what you eat" system will make things interesting; filling up my water bottle will be for more than giggles.

It doesn't say "Buy SA now"

I read to "doctorwho" and stopped caring. First of all, think of an original name, you mincy... ugh... Second, if you're going to use a proper noun, capitalize it! If I ever read "doctorwho" in chat/as a speaker, I'm shooting. I don't care how friendly you are, if you just saved my life, anything. Nothing kills more than terrible grammar. Other than, well, cancer I guess. Or AIDS. Or... lots of things.

Read. THE FUCKING. Dev notes!

Freaking idiot.

Nah man. Greedo totally shot first.

So probably my absolutely favorite thing introduced in A2OA, other than (maybe) solid IF sights, anti-vehicular rifles, and IEDs, is the British Armed Forces portable machine gun kits. Basically, depending on the size of the LMG in question, 2-3 men could replace their backpacks/rocket launchers with either a tripod bag, kit bag, or other pieces bag after disassembling a mounted turret. The group of men could then, of course, transport the LMG somewhere else, and work together to mount the turret back on the tripod and get back to shooting somewhere else, transporting the heavy firepower to wherever the mission required it. This could also be done with mortars (and can be done in ArmA 3), however mortars are a no-no in DayZ. My suggestion: As part of ultra-rare (wrecked heli) or high-end military (airfield) loot, tripods could be found (or made from scrap metal?), along with a LMG, GMG, MMG, or HMG body (lacking the required apparatus to be man-portable, like a grip) could be stuffed into either normal backpacks, taking up most (all?) the room of a coyote or Czech bag. Player X would scroll-wheel to place the tripod, and whatever direction he's facing is where the machine gun will face when placed. Player Y would scroll-wheel to add the weapon proper. Player W would open his gear menu and put the ammunition into the turret. Pretty soon, you're on the roof of the Elektro hospital with the perfect anti-car automatic weapon! TL;DR? Well, in short: Basically 2+ players would have to work together in a giant pain-in-the-ass circle of searching for parts that aren't likely to spawn together, bring it to their base, set it all up, supply it with ammo, and then not be able to use it when they left base. This would promote teamwork, and potentially create no-man's lands of walls of turrets between cities, where no man fears to tread save a .50BMG find him. Sand bags/tank traps/et cetera could be placed around the emplacement for cover, OR potentially added to the "Vehicle" the turret creates? Turret types Minigun (taken off of wrecked/scavenged helicopter?) M249 SAW/M240 US LMGs (improved accuracy w/ mount?) RPK, RPD DShKM Sniper rifles? Pros Feel like a badass when your "Epic base" has a machine gun on the roof Sense of immersion when you're defending your home Promotion of strategy in large-team groups (so it's not just "Everyone run up and shoot," but rather, "Hey David, stay on the turret, everyone be careful not to walk in front of him!:) Lights could be mounted, to light up your base without a fireplace/NVGs/Flares Raiding a defended base would be a lot more fun/challenging Defending cities from helicopters would feel more realistic than trying to hit a heli with a sniper rifle Cons Well-motivated and active bandit groups (the ones Rocket added in diseases to kill) could potentially surround themselves in LMGs Existence of even more 1-hit-KO .50 weapons Pilots have yet ANOTHER thing to be scared of Spawning in cars is bad enough. What if hax0rs manage to spawn in turrets? Nightmares of adding things to spawn tables...

Each building type (on a module system?) spawns loot regardless of integrability. Also: Find a ladder and climb to the top of the building! A staircase should lead down into the building with a backpack and likely an M16 somewhere.

You didn't know about Dyslexci and all before? Well, you're welcome. Look up ShacTac and apply to join. :)

He'd run out of ammo immediately; he shoots 200 GLs and 4+ clips of LMG ammo per video.
