The man is a douche.

Your all forgetting the one snake that is already in the game...the Trouser Snake. I have one and it sometimes like to sneak into people's mouths after I knock them out. It also likes a good stroke now and again...

I couldn't have said it any better myself.

I had the same problem after coming back to Day Z a couple of months back, played on shitty 'official' Hives and was getting around 20fps. Then I tried Breaking Point and it went down to like 10-15 so I ditched that POS too and found a private hive, now I'm back up to 50+fps. Win.

People using controllers (if it were possible) are always going to get dicked on by m&kb players. I suppose it depends on the player but the accuracy and reaction times of a mouse is always gonna beat dual analog sticks. Imagine the way PC gamers would clean up if you had mixed servers...oh the delicious tears!!

I personally hate consoles the controllers just suck after playing with mouse and keyboard for so long. Also DayZ got all its fan base from PC gamers so I doubt very much that it'd be hit that hard.

SVD suits my roaming play style better than the M40 I just wish the ammo would drop more! For those who don't know how to use the sight on the SVD here's the video that I learned from. Hope it helps!

Unlucky bro, I realised where it was going and bailed!

Some one obviously has very little going on in their lives if they make shit videos like this...that's 1:37 ill never get back.

Zero fucks given to when it comes out so long as it does. Its just another video game to litter my desktop and tempt me away from work.

Anyone else find first person is hard to look at for too long? 3dp all the way if you want to look at it through this whole 'realism' rubbish then just think of it representing your characters ability to peek round corners etc. Realism...ugh...

Too right we want an actual answer here, if its been posted up and I missed it I apologise but I read part of one of Trizzo's and gave up the will to read on. My only guess is either the staff have been on the receiving end to many times or they're listening to the nub Zombie parade too much.

I've often thought the world could do with a good zombie apocalypse...get rid of the riff raff and all that. There'd probably still be QQing about OP .50 cals and unrealistic parts of video games.

Things that kill realism...how about Zombies?

No. Just no. You want to explore the world then there are plenty of other titles which would suit you Skyrim or Dead Island if you want a Zombie Apocolypse. You can even team with other Bambi's in that. Or for the ultimate Graphics fix open your front door a go explore this world called RL.

I would prefer DayZ if it was like that after all a bullet is a bullet and I'd still use a bolt action sniper rifle. Running around with automatics isn't the way I like to play end game. And Stealth bombers with nukes at some shitty Russian airstrip? Seriously?

Ok I concede that accurately shooting such a heavy weapon standing/kneeling/from the hip would be hard if not impossible to do in reality with any accuracy...but this isn't reality. The most sensible solution to the .50 cal 'problem' I've read on here is that it's only accurate while your prone. That brought up problems the game mechanics with people saying the sniper would be at a disadvantage at range due to grass textures obstructing his/her view while making them easy to spot. Anyway it's late and we're going round in circles so I'm going to agree to disagree and play on private hives with them enabled. Happy Days.

So how does it work?

I think your spot on with that mate, people get sniped and look for the first thing to blame and its usually the .50s that get it I think it goes something like this; Nubinz was just killed... Omfg the only reason that sniper killed me was because he had a .50!!!!! Disconnect. Login to DayZ forums. <<KEYBOARD WARRIOR MODE ACTIVATED>> Vent about nerfing sniper rifles or banning them completely. Foam at mouth. The hell of it is devs actually listen to that tosh. I watched something on the tube that kind of explains it in a roundabout sort of way...not just this issue with the .50s but a lot of the crap games being released these days. GG.

No problem fella! I tried PMing you on here about an upcoming event but it said you can't receive anymore messages?

I know what you mean. Way back now I was a member of a clan who played Day of Defeat, then Source then the glory days of CoD4. We used to play on the Enemy Down ladder and got into the top five...it was a real buzz! But after CoD4(for me anyway) CoD has just gone down hill to the point where I'd rather watch some shit TV than other playing it. The last one I bought was Turd of Duty: Shit Ops...a nuke went of in under 10 mins and I haven't played since. I've played a bit of BF3 and Planetside 2 which is good for a bit of run and gun but I'm always heading back to Day Z for my adrenaline fix! Roll on SA!

Rocket...shushup and take my money!!

I play on the BSB Network's private Hive and I found them all in the back of a camo Ural! Can't wait to make some fireworks!

First of all thanks for the info on taking heli's down I'd gathered as much but I just wanted it confirming. I've taken down two choppers so far both with the AS50 because I know it's got the power to do so would I engage with a DMR?...probably not. Both were vulching on bambi's with the gunners so I intervened. All this realism talk is a bit weird for a game infested with flesh eating zombies anyway! So you've removed the .50's because they are 'overpowered' but in this same 'realistic' world you expect to get up from being hit by a M24 or even a CZ? What next? Choppers are OP! Banz them plx! Yeah and a round house kick to the face is also possible IRL. How many times will it work in a real fight? It won’t. Ever pick up a 50 cal? I have when I was younger. Berrett M99, a lighter version. Try shouldering even a light 50. You will fail. A gun person might be able to position themselves to take a few awkward shots but I will never work in a fight. You even lift bro?

@Floxer No probs fella. Just one question to everyone though, without hitting the pilot is there any other sniper rifle other than an AS50 or M107 that can bring a chopper down?
