I wanna know more of the backstory behind this... why was he out for you? :ph34r:

But it makes me feel better. Have you ever had a cup of cocoa? Most people have. That warm, hearty feeling you get from a cup of Fry's™ Premium Cocoa. It's the kind of feeling that brings warmth to a cold winter's eve. The kind of warmth that families share after getting back from the big game. So take off those skates, settle down, and enjoy a cup of Fry's™. It's the Canadian way. (And also enjoy shooting random people in the back and hiding their bodies to piss them off).

Because there are no Superman jumps and you can't kill a guy by throwing your knife over a building.

Testing out the Makarov in ACE is interesting. I fired 8 shots into a Russian soldier from point-blank range and he got down and started firing wildly at me, killing me. But then I tried the same thing on a Takistani militiaman and the Makarov killed or knocked him out in one shot two times in a row (he had no ballistic vest).

Rocket would not have put tanks into DayZ. Tanks are on a whole 'nuther level. Think helicopters are bad? I've watched a single tank completely destroy a huge populated enemy base in Novy Sobor. Kill messages sprang up everywhere like poppies. The church crumbled to the ground. People tried to hide in buildings and fire rockets at it and were promptly gunned down or blown into the sky. Yes, balancing. Some level of it exists.

Gotta say Xianyu, your opinions are a bit too anti-sniper for my tastes... but then again I like sniping quite a bit when the mood strikes me. I don't even really like the M107 that much, I might even prefer to see the .50s replaced by something Russian/European, non-military and in a smaller caliber. Something along the lines of a .300 Win Mag, .338 Lapua Mag, 7mm WSM, 6.5x284, .260 even, I just find them more interesting than the Future Weapons stuff. <_< To be honest I'm kind of bored by the .50 cal military guns and I don't even use them often. They also seem kind of unrealistic because survivors aren't going to be lugging ridiculously big rifles around just for some 1200m sniping. The biggest change I wanna see is ACE-like sniping! If people want to snipe, force them to learn to use the turrets. (Also, ACE sniping is a lot more fun and rewarding, once you try it it's hard to go back).

I want. Testing purposes, of course.

Mein Gott, people would flip! There were already tons of complaints about the zombies in 1.7.5.1 being eagle-eyed, pull-you-from-your-car monsters, and I found those zombies rather weak myself. :huh: I don't think people would like one-hit infection marathon zombies. I agree they need to be more difficult, though, this is a zombie survival game and surviving the zombies is easier than the first level of Spyro the Dragon.

I play lone pony, so I don't think creating a roadblock would be a good idea when some decked-out clan rolls up with a couple Urals. Plus I like using my gun...

Elektro, people on hospital roof firing into the school... happens all the time. Same thing with the Cherno tower snipers, etc.

Fooled me for a second there, you don't have my beans. Hehehe. Someone get a pic! I have no time for DayZ at the moment but I'm curious to see it.

The hatchet is so freakin' big though, that's probably why it's a primary weapon. Has to be since they used the rifle animation. I'd like to see a normal hatchet like this one and a separate two-handed fire/general-purpose axe, like sp86 suggested in his thread.

My hopes for cars in standalone? Two words: Hood stack!

I don't understand why anyone thinks bandits wouldn't kill on sight. They're bandits. I'm drawing a blank here... Just be glad we don't try to eat you and your children like some of Hollywood's post-apocalyptic bandits:

@LiquidMind: I was also thinking about replacing the current axe (it's too big! not a hatchet) with a large axe that could be found in fire stations, schools, barns, etc, and a one-handed hatchet that would take up less space and could be a secondary weapon. I would like to see a shovel, that would be cool, right now you can't actually dig into the map but that could change in standalone with talk of underground bases and such. In the current engine it could allow people to make a little pile or wall of grassy dirt to hide behind for ambushes and such.

Meh, the AK-107 in the game has a similar balanced recoil system and it's not that OP, I don't see why Bohemia would make an AEK-971 handle much differently than an AK-107. I'm guessing not many people know how it actually handles, they're not exactly common ^_^ Of course it's not in Vanilla DayZ, but still...

I said that in DayZ and jumped off the Cherno tower to avoid a sniper. I don't think history is going to repeat itself in that case...

"Easter eggs break my immersion", whined the randoms.

We don't like balancing weapons here, this is supposed to be a realistic game. The AN-94 has semi-automatic, burst and full-auto firing modes. If an AN-94 were introduced to the game, it would include all those modes too. I don't see why the AN-94 couldn't be a rare spawn, but someone would have to make an AN-94 first. There are a few addons out there...

Rocket said we can play it the way we want to, so I don't really care. Why would anyone need a Mk.48 Mod 0 for zombies? Also I play survival, I stay alone in the woods 90% of the time, away from folks. :ph34r: If I see anybody I will probably hunt them down or shoot at them, depending. I don't go to Elektro and shoot everyone running to the powerstation, I'm a Northern dweller. Stop cramping my playstyle, I'mma tell Big Macintosh on you!

It's not about persuasion or avoiding conflict. Call me a CoD deathmatcher if you will (I've never played CoD), but sometimes I just want to get some freakin' kills at any cost! I don't even care about their loot, I just want their beans. The metaphorical type. Shooting armed people makes me feel like this: (That's the Canadian bandit victory dance. See the headscarf? Whoo-yah!)

I doubt Chernarus is a NATO member seeing as the CDF's standard rifle is the AK-74. The backstory may change in the Standalone...

Mine is... Hmm. Mine's "bean king". I don't think I should change it to what I have it set to on other forums... ^_^

I use iron sights almost always, exceptions would be if the grass is blocking my view of the target or if I'm very close and it would be more effective to just use the crosshairs. Another rare exception would be if my ghillie suit is blocking my FN FAL sights. I hate that! Of course I never hip fire on CH:OFF servers.
