Depends which model, alot of Winchester rifles can actually hold upwards from Eight to even fifteen rounds. It's a long rifle, not a shotgun - One that's actually loaded very similar to a Red-Ryder BB gun.

Add infection, you get scratched/bit once and you're dead no matter what - Sixty second timer tops until you fall to the floor dead and change. Is that REAL enough for you? Stop with the "___ is real while ___ is just stupid". You think that we'd find working ACOGs and other technology? You think that humanity collapses onto itself as soon as authority is gone - Sorry it doesn't, the fact that we're still around and..You know, -Civilized- can attest to that. You have fucking PMC "Survivors" in kevlar, Yeah that's totally realistic guys, we have Baseball caps and M4s but we lack the brain and communication skills to not murder anyone we see on sight. Long story short, video games aren't supposed to be "Real". You want the real thing, throw on a helmet and go get shot at in the bum fuck desert. I'm pretty sure no one will care about how "Real" it is when you're draining blood and your "Uber-Real videogame skills" don't come in handy at all.

And having one hit kill guns Vs. Some newguy with a Makarov = fair and balanced?

I thought it was funny that a bandit in another thread complained of people "Meta-Gaming" through the use of the playerlist - Yet a shit ton lol-showed up to your obviously Not-Ingame message just to kill you for asking them not to. ~Just another reason why I am thrown to believe that half the Bandits are just there to kill for the sake of killing. They had no reason to kill you besides "haha fuck these guys asking us not to". I thought being a bandit was about robbing for survival? Not to go "Oh we have bigger guns than these guys, lets wipe them off the face of the earth cause we're better equipped!" Just seems like another reason to become a bandit with no counter-effect..

" You're going to get killed by players either way it seems, having a different outfit doesn't really factor when 60-90% of the server is hell bent on slaughtering people for small shit like spawn beans. " Forgot to quote that little tid-bit, the most important part of my post I do believe.

^Druskov Too little conflict creates a stale environment where death will really only become possible through bugs. (IE: Zombies running through walls at you, falling off ladders, lagspike deaths - Hell anything not related to getting shot). It's a safety net. While having too much conflict will create alot more rage and drama than is required - eventually leading to split-offs and new DayZ servers not run by Rocket and his development team - Sure they might not be up to date when they finally find some source code but they'll enforce a lot more rules than are being held here. It's a catch-22, you get rid of PvP and things get stagnant. You make it pure PVP, you turn it from survival to just hot-potato with ____'s kit load-out as everyone kills each other and trades off his equipment. I see where PVP is a very big part of the mod - But PVP usually is being referred to on even-terms..Someone laying down two miles away with a sniper killing guys minding their own business with pistols is not PVP. That is almost the same thing as spawn killing. Edit: Hell you could compare it with the way WoW handles if you can't find a better example; There's a reason why games like WoW only let you quick match pvp with people ~10 above your current first digit. (IE: Level 10, pvp 10-20. Level 24 player in a pvp zone that's 20-30, etc. etc. It's about even grounds - That is when PVP is fun. "Pro-snipes" from across the world without ANY indication that you plan to kill someone is far from "PVP", that's like saying that Oswald PVP'd the shit out of Kennedy.

Anything could be considered art rocket, even simply breathing could be an art.. Not saying that it's any less impressive but to call a mod Art seems a little..Off. "That's right bitches, I produce art with code!". You'll see that people who are REALLY interested in art, are also senile as hell. (Yes, let's spend thousands if not millions on a piece of paper with some drawings cause it looks pretty!). Again, I don't believe that's anything sour tossed your way. I don't mean to give you any shit - It's just the mindset I get whenever someone calls their own work art..Simply it's just hilarious to me. Also, you could completely bi-pass the Co-op servers if you simply laid down the law and made ___, ___ and ___ No-PK zones punishable by a lengthy ban. (What's the point of a unban forum if almost nothing except maybe literally hacking will get you removed from the population?) People will complain "Oh that's too much of the mysterious string pulling hand making the game "easy". Which all it would really do is make PVPers fight against other PVPers - Well stocked, not some easy kill because they're ten calibers up the list than Mr. Makarov. (While also giving Mr. Makarov a place to actually find a group without the immediate "shoot first or die first" thoughts coming into play.. Edit : Again, emphasis on "Not trying to give you shit". I understand that it's your creation and you want to see how it unfolds. But it seems like it's going from "Trying to survive the apocalypse" to Mad Max : 5 with the leaders of the thunderdome being whichever clan has the biggest arsenal and can pull off a kill from the greater distance.

From what I see, there's no reason NOT to become a bandit. A: Murdering people will shoot you up through HOURS of searching, just to "lolpewpew" some guy who spent the time actually FINDING it. B: You get a spiffy new model and look different! Kill players, Look unique! C: You probably have at-least two other players in a vent/TS server, so even when you die they'll just kill your attacker and let you recover your gear and continue your massacre like nothing happened. "Oh if you murder, people will come after you!" Is seems like if you DON'T murder, people come after you A LOT quicker..Maybe even two hundred yards away in a direction you weren't even looking. Shit, something as simple as getting over two player-kills making it impossible to loot -your own- corpse would have a stronger implication than what I see is currently inplace.

Bandit scum! Luckily not everyone groups with people like you' date=' but I think the log-out timer is the best option yet. Even five seconds would be enough to break quick-quitting to avoid hordes of zombies. All these ideas though sound like half-assed fixes though, maybe this problem truly is impossible to fix? [/quote'] I don't even own ARMA, isn't it a little fucked up that just from reading how easily you get fucked for no reason by other players that almost instinctively I acknowledge "Hey, I'm going to have to murder anyone I see without a word/care for trying to become friends - Because it seems like if you even try to form a group - You're getting shot in the freggin back of the head for a can of beans. Edit: Again, I don't even own the game nor would I kill someone for a gun - I'm not that much of a needy douche that I'd need something enough to MURDER for it..But other people that DO own the game, ARE. So it's more of a warning from an impartial observant of the grief it will bring/cause.

^ So that should negate the obvious flames? Just because it wasn't directed at the community owner?

Because that isn't going to get you killed/robbed about 80% of the time from the sound of it?

Why not just rig it so that your supplies/stats save, but not your location? (Cross-Servers I mean). Don't get me wrong, it seems like one of the main thing this mod has going for it is being able to carry your character with you- But you would still do that. Just with the added benefit of technically "Spawning Fully Loaded" out in the middle of nowhere?

Oh it has nothing to do with me thinking whether or not it's "fun", to be honest I don't even own ARMA-II let alone have a PC that can run it - But after a day or so on these forums I find myself debating if I really even want to repair it for a PC version of RE:ORC ((Team Deathmatch with a side of Zombies/Objectives)). It seems like something worth just skipping over, I'd rather -Not- spend money on this game than get spawn killed by some ass with a military grade sniper for beans and pistol ammo with their only excuse being "OH people are serial killers in real life!". Yes, people are serial killers in real life - But 1/10th the population of a city are NOT serial killers. Even serial killers don't pick off random people, they have motive - They don't go "Oh joe schmo is over there, I'ma saw his head off because I'm bored" (Just watch the movie Se7en). Now you can skip my post after the point that I say "I don't even have ARMA", but if someone who doesn't even own the game can point out flaws and fixes then you have no real reason to. Be it something as simple as adding a rule of not killing anyone with a lower-calibur weapon ((Aka, Mr. Hunting Rifle can't go kill Mr. Newguy for his Makarov and Beans that he could easily find on a ten-fifteen minute scavange from what it sounds like)Of course self-defense would play a factor, along with the "I heard gunshots, I thought ___ was shooting at me so I killed him." misunderstandings - But it would really separate those who are killing for Gear and survival, and those who are killing just to kill.) Again, judge the post as you will but I'd appreciate something better than what I imagine will be "You don't even play" or "It's a prime part of the game!" - Sorry, but with all the shit I've seen - If I ever do get this game, I assume as soon as I spawn I should kill every single player I see at spawn until they quit the server and I assume it's safe - OH and I get all dat thar loot. If anything this is an extreme paranoia simulator seeing as you instantly want to kill anyone else who logically would team up.. Again, just my two cents as a simple observer of the mod.

Seems like it's giving players even MORE of a reason to mindlessly kill each other, "Who gives a shit about supplies? It's all about that homepage cred' bro".
