-Gews-

"Goose" was taken.

Pony Zombies?

I have an idea... Gun Zombies. Their skill is set to 100% and they're armed with non-lootable FN FALs. :ph34r:

Harvest Red B)

I don't get why people get worked up about the .50s... it's not like they're that much more dangerous than a DMR or what-have-you. I don't even remember the last time I was killed by a .50 caliber rifle.

For some reason I assumed this was to do with using the sling to hold the weapon steady.

I can see people being shot out of the air by banditos as they float slowly towards the ground. :lol:

It seems kinda "cheap" to me! Using the DayZ name while saying "nothing to do with Rocket's DayZ" and making people pay for it. It's just not cricket.

Well, they have Lapua-specific values for airFriction, muzzle velocity, etc, it's just the damage on the L115 and AS50 that is weird. I should make a ticket on dev-heaven asking for it to be "fixed". Pretty sure Bohemia did it on purpose, but I don't understand why.

I've never played on his server, not once :lol: I just wanted to see something done since there is clear proof that his servers violate the public hive rules.

I think it was when I climbed on top of the Elektro hospital and started shooting at a group of survivors looting the school. I must have killed 3 or 4 of them, then someone shot me from the hill.

But you wouldn't find any guns in civilian buildings...

I'm still waiting for action to be taken on facoptere's "bandit auto-kick script" on FR 34 and 129.

My computer will explode if cities get too large, my frames drop in Elektro as it is... I'd like to see a Midwestern map with a few small towns and a couple larger cities, woods and mountains and wide-open prairie areas as well with small farms.

It's so easy to change the caliber of a rifle, just type in a few values, it only takes a minute or two even to calculate the "airFriction" value, I have no idea why Bohemia messed up with the CZ. By the way, the ammunition classname for the CZ is "5x_22_LR_17_HMR", which shows that something is terribly wrong. :lol: The Lapua is actually equally as powerful as the M107 and it has a faster muzzle velocity, too, so that would just be replacing a .50 with a .50. They used inconsistent values for the sniper rifles in the British Armed Forces pack, that is why the AS50 does more damage than an armour-piercing 20mm round.

Slugs are underpowered, slugs are more damaging in real life, slugs are about .70 caliber and an ounce or more of soft, expanding lead. Problem is the Winchester shouldn't shoot slugs at all, it should shoot a handgun-power .44 round. So the Winchester is overpowered BECAUSE it shoots slugs, even though slugs themselves are still underpowered. I agree with AussieStig about artificial balancing - this isn't Battlefield 3, it's not a game, it's a sim. I want everything as real as possible for that is the purpose of a sim.

I don't fully get what you're saying, but in any case having to use 8 rounds of .45 ACP or 13 rounds of 9x18mm to kill a player is a bit much... As for the 9.3x62mm used in the CZ... totally, massively underpowered! It should be far more powerful than it is. Right now the CZ550 does not shoot 9.3x62mm, it shoots 7.62x51mm. The description is incorrect... the 9.3 is a big round which can even take Cape Buffalo. The bullets are usually 286 grains compared to only 147-175 grains for the 7.62x51mm - and those 9.3 bullets would be expanding hunting bullets, unlike the military weapons which would fire FMJ!

Let me tell you what's overpowered or underpowered (relative to other weapons): -Winchester: Overpowered! This should shoot .44 rimfire or .44-40! Which are at handgun power levels. Not slugs. -Shotgun slugs: slugs should do a lot more damage than they currently do. Right now they do less than half the damage of a 7.62 FMJ. Slugs are big and nasty! -AS50: this should have similar power to the M107 since they are the same calibre... but for reasons unknown, BIS decided to make it nearly 5 times as powerful. -Handguns and SMGs: totally underpowered. All of them. -5.56x45mm and 5.45x39mm weapons. All take too many shots to kill a player. -Crossbow: a hit to the chest area would be pretty damaging especially with a hunting broadhead, and good luck moving and breathing with an arrow stuck through your lungs. Part of the problem is that a survivor in DayZ is roughly twice as tough as a soldier in ArmA. How would everyone like having zombie-level health, eh?

Yup, afraid of that happening. I'd like to see third-person removed or maybe a "screenshots only" version implemented, but as long as other people have it enabled I'm going to use it too... I'm not willing to die for my beliefs! :D

I always use third-person. The only exception is in special scenarios where third-person doesn't work, like if I'm hiding in a bush. Third-person has saved my ass many a time... watching people run towards me from behind a fence or car or tall grass, or watching snipers from behind a stone wall, for example. It would be silly to handicap myself if everyone else is using third-person.

Agh, I get that sometimes and it's extremely annoying. Can ruin everything.

Don't point the muzzle at anything you don't intend to destroy and keep your finger off the trigger?

Someone would actually pay $60 to spawn with an M14? Jesus. "There's another one born every minute!"

The mines in ArmA only blow up when a heavy vehicle drives over them... and I mean heavy. It seems like it basically has to be armoured and at least 8 tons. I think it would be more realistic to just include IEDs.

Canadians don't even need their gamma or brightness turned up to see at night in DayZ. Something to do with government rules on LCD screens.
