Either the howdah pistol or the CZ550. The CZ550 would be perfect if it was just a bit more accurate. And in .300 Win Mag for more punch.

Ehh, seems like a lot of people here could care less.

So you can survive being shot in the chest with a .308. Twice. <_<

Not sure why people would complain about the price (whatever it is), ArmA 3 Alpha cost me what, like $30, and I don't even play it. Don't most new console games cost like $60 and up? :huh: $9.99, 19.99, $24.99, $39.99 psssh, who cares?

Ehhh I don't like the idea: 1. Very hard to throw an axe, extremely hard to throw a machete. 2. Why not just walk 10 steps closer and hack them up instead of throwing away what is presumably your only weapon? Too fantasy for me... as far as I know throwing axes, etc, were pretty much only used if the person had multiple weapons and they were also expressly designed for that purpose.

For some reason reading through this thread makes me want to try using an MP5. I never use that gun. I don't even know why, just thought I'd mention. Also I suppose it's a fair point there's nothing much to do apart from take out other players, or team up with people to take out other players. The zombies aren't a challenge at the moment. On the other hand I'm not going to participate as the willing victim in a robbery or other roleplaying scenarios :huh: why would I? Sorry, I'm not a roleplayer, I don't like it. Next we'll see DayZ cosplay...

Best engine ever

I enjoy putting clips in the Lee-Enfield.

Oxycontin!

I think it was Rocket who said he'd like players to have to keep track of bullets in a magazine instead of having an automatic counter on their screens. That will make things interesting if standalone turns out that way.

Ehhh, I'm not a fan of allowing what some would call "easy mode" servers, at least for the first little while, for a few reasons. Mainly because when I go on DayZ Commander the amount of "vanilla" servers versus the stereotypical "spawn with sniper/1000 vehicle" type servers is very low. I think DayZ should concentrate on being a good game first and foremost. Allowing people to significantly change the entire thing can ruin the experience. On the other hand there's definitely a time and place for PvP "spawn with rifle" servers, as well as a demand for them - look how popular they are. Still, on balance it would be nice if everyone was given the same options. I don't want to see 3000 "spawn with rifle" servers and only 250 "vanilla standalone" servers when it launches. I also don't think things like (the default ArmA 2) crosshairs or player nametags have much of a place in DayZ or ArmA whatsoever. Tags especially. The game is more engaging without them... sure I usually play servers with crosshairs and sometimes even ones with tags, usually because they have a low ping and a lot of players. It would be nice if every server with a low ping and a lot of players didn't also have tags and crosshairs because they weren't presented as an option.

This would be amusing, can you imagine the tears and frustration? :lol:

This happened to me once, except with a machete. I ran around murdering zombies, then I saw a player run into a firehouse and tried it on him, too. Turned out he had a full-auto machine gun so we both died, but it was fun while it lasted.

True that I seriously doubt standalone will end up somehow looking WORSE than ArmA, I wouldn't worry about it.

At first I thought this was about the Graveyard. ^_^ Anyways, sure, why not? It would be a nice touch.

Maybe because they happen to like PvP? Not everyone is into roleplaying or teamwork. People find their fun in different places.

I like it. You can see more thought has been put into it. There are more possibilities than just "leg okay - leg broken". Like I said before, I wish ArmA III was like this. :(

Perhaps "damage" should be separated into two categories: -shock -lethal However I don't trust... well, anyone to come up with a perfect formula. Every time someone tries to turn figures into some kind of rating system via formula it becomes horribly biased and inadequate since they adjust it to suit what they "think" is right. On the other hand there's not any alternative except simply picking damage numbers out of thin air. I guess if in thirty years someone has a supercomputer model the entire human body down to the individual cells then it might be somewhat more valid.

Good idea.

For various reasons I'm not a fan of the new .45 ACP = 4500 damage, 9x18 = 2000 damage, but whatever. I'll put that aside... Why does the freaking Makarov do 2,000 damage while the 9x19mm pistols do 889? A 9x19 is significantly more powerful than a puny Mak! Bump all the 9x19 pistols as well, at the very least to 2,000 damage / hit = 6, preferably closer to hit = 7. This is intolerable!

On principle, no, realistically, yes.

If it's not fixed in the next update or two I'm gonna make more identical "issues" just for the hell of it, get some attention paid :lol:

I know right... Next sniper rifles will shoot flares and bolt actions will be significantly more powerful than semi-automatics...

Here's some guns we will be seeing in standalone, make of them what you will: As for me, ignoring the setting and just choosing weapons I'm interested in? These for a start:
