No, because that's a gun. Guns make killing easier, knives are harder. Even guns will require a headshot to kill as it currently stands (the main point against knife takedowns is that they're "unrealistic", not that they're "unfair" or "cheap") The knife should be a stabbing /slashing weapon, I would put damage about the same as a 9mm. Stab them several times quickly and there you have it...

Although I remember hitting 140 in the SUV not too long ago...

Base building - Why is it so important to everyone?
-Gews- replied to m.cab's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Bases are amazing in Wasteland, my favorite thing is finding a giant enemy base... you'll never catch me building one though, yawn, not interested, boring, tedious, dull, ennuyant. I guess it depends on the kind of bases, so far the standalone is talking about instanced bases as the only feasible option. That's bad. Nothing should be safe from marauding players and I don't see how instanced bases can be raided. I think some kind of camouflaged camps or earthen and wooden fortifications are more appropriate than either the proposed "underground bases" or the huge Wasteland monstrosities. -
Base building - Why is it so important to everyone?
-Gews- replied to m.cab's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I don't get the whole base thing either, especially with DayZ's persistent nature. Even in Wasteland, I'm like "let's go find some people to kill" and there's always the ones who go "we need base parts first". :unsure: -
Wait, Pop Ivan is the above-mentioned "Stary sniper hill", right? Right? I think I have might my DayZ mixed up...
-
Another point is this: go on YouTube and search "only use knife"... When a game has knives that are equally as good or even better weapons than guns, you know something's not quite right... remember the old chestnut "don't bring a knife to a gunfight"? That's how it should be in DayZ as well. Outside of classic commando/sentry scenarios, using a knife would be somewhat silly if you had access to a gun.

I am a knife person and I say no... knives as weapons, yes! But no automatic takedowns or finishing moves...you should have to repeatedly stab the person to kill them (that's how it usually works in real life as well)
-
Can I get that with a sniper? Use option "shoot target", rifle automatically calculates firing solution and shoots, if target moves, round misses.

DayZ is draining at first...but it's fun.

Run to a bunch of deerstands and farms. Eventually you'll find a CZ550. -
No instant kill animations, please, it just seems way too gamey (like a "finishing move"). Any weapon should have to be aimed for best results and a straight razor will take a lot of slashing to actually kill someone. Eg: "Sutton hauled away and cuffed the negro in the face. Lee then pulled out a razor and began carving Sutton, and Sutton reached in his hip pocket to pull his pistol, but Lee caught his wrist with his left hand and prevented him from drawing it, while with his right he slashed Sutton pretty severely, cutting his throat to rags and making three long deep gashes across the back and left side, and also cutting his left ear nearly off his head. " He survived.

New Spawn - What Would Your Route Be?

Hospital, get morphine and antibiotics, then scram. Zelenogorsk next. -
If you could have 3 things changed or fixed

None that I'm aware of, but there's always room for improvement. -
What Do You Think About DayZ DLC's?
-Gews- replied to Devon206 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would hope sound packs would come as standard updates as well as weapons. I'd think totally new weapons = totally new map, since that's the way BIS seems to do things with its DLC packs. Way more than DLC though, I'd like mod support at some point. With that, possibilities are endless... and free! -

What Do You Think About DayZ DLC's?
-Gews- replied to Devon206 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
He said he would like to make a new map at some point. I hope any DLC is along the lines of the PMC, BAF, ACR packs in that it's (a) actually worthwile and (B) you can get "Lite" versions so everyone can play. -
balance idea for high power snipers in Mod/SA
-Gews- replied to rick808's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Since they're already editing the AS50 and M107 ammo, they might as well make a few changes, such as: -give AS50 same damage as M107 -give AS50 same sound as M107 -make AS50 recoil more (currently has same recoil as M4 Carbine) Half my complaints would be solved with those changes... -
balance idea for high power snipers in Mod/SA
-Gews- replied to rick808's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Yes, it exists, however it's not commonly used (still can't find a single photo of an AS50 being used in combat anywhere in the world) and it also doesn't fit the setting or tone of the vanilla game at all, IMO. Even if the area was magically rife with .50 caliber anti-materiel rifles I doubt survivors would be willingly carrying them around, they'd be horrible fighting rifles outside of very specific scenarios, scenarios in which the typical "survivor" would pretty much never encounter. -
balance idea for high power snipers in Mod/SA
-Gews- replied to rick808's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
B-b-but 'Groover, they don't belong... Meh. If they were going to add weapons like the AS50 then I'd like a .577 Tranter to go with my custom Scheutzen in 8.15x46R. And also a little Alpine hat so I can be a badass. -
Actually testing it out, I found a standard ArmA 2 soldier does not have "about" the equivalent of 4500 blood, like zombies do. Shooting various soldiers with pistols, I found they could take about 5500 blood damage (11 Skorpion shots, 7 Makarov shots, 4 1911 shots). However when shooting them with rifles, even a single AK-74 or M16 shot would kill them. So apparently the greater penetration value of the rifle ammunition also allows the ammunition to cause more damage in comparison to the pistols.

The AS50 rounds are overpowered. They're more powerful than some cannon rounds. So... no. -
This is true, they deserve no quarter.

Not the same, everyone respawns and gears up in a couple minutes. First, what am I supposed to do apart from kill people? I'm not exactly a team player, I rarely use a mic and I don't do role-play either. Second, I like killing people.
