people wandered around with dmrs cause 1- They duped the hell out of the game 2- They server hopped/loot farmed NWAF to get them. i personally only found ONE DMR in vanilla dayz in more than 200 hours, it was in a heli crash and didnt have any ammo. If a DMR or modern battle rifle will be acessible after 2 hours of gameplay, the whole game is pointless and it will become again a freaking deathmatch. But i think the devs will have a little brain and wont make loot farming possible again. Or else this game will die very soon.

dayz have a totally different concept dude, starting by the fact that in dayz you have to find a weapon, that is supposed to be rare, in battlefield you just choose a weapon and go pew pew. just this fact alone makes this discussion useless. in dayz we need as much variety as we can get, as it makes getting attachments for a specific weapon more difficult and adds to the atmosphere of the game. If we would follow your idea, we should only have the shotgun, mosin, sks and m4 in game, as any other weapon than these would be redundant.

They did weapons like this cause it's easier than implementing a decent sway. Just look at the bullshit that was the sway in arma 2. The sights would stay aligned all the way, just the way you're pointing that would change randomically. In arma 3 i think they made better sway into weapons, but cant be sure.

are you seriously comparing BF3 with dayz?

we're not talking about 5.56 guns here, they're the only ones that have a universal standart magazine. all 7.62x51 and AK-type weapons use different magazines. You cant fit a g3 mag into a FAL, nor can you fit a AKM mag into a SKS. 5.56mm guns shouldnt even be on the game, they're totally out of place, as by looking at the map, no operation harvest red or whatever happened at all, there's no remains of it. It's just weird how the AK will appear only in the 3rd month of development and the m4 was there since the beginning.

Well, think a bit, why walk in the middle of elektro unloading .22 magazines? guns are supposed to be used when you're with the advantage, with patience, not to just unload entire clips on a zombie's belly.

why the fuck do you even shoot zombies? isnt that's what the axe is for?

you can hear a gunshot from 2km+ trough a open field, If there's hills and buildings on the way, it reduces to 800~1000m, in the game you cant hear a gunshot from 300~400 meters away, lol. @topic i use a headphone identical to this: And i must say that it is as best as it gets. Get a cheap 5 bucks mic and you're good to go. You can read the reviews if you want to. these people telling you to spend 200 bucks on a headset are probably pseudo audiophyles who think they're cool by doing so. If you want to confirm that the standalone sounds are flawed, just go to the mod with a friend and make him shoot a dmr from ~300m away inside of a city, you can tell exactly where he is by doing so. in standalone you'll be questioning most of the time if the sound was really from there or was a bug.

seriously? the game's sound is broken, there's nothing to do with the headphone he's using.

seriously? do you know that the VIP hack users pay something like 5 bucks for stolen keys on their hack sites, right? what's the point in raising even more the game's price? it doesnt even worth what it costs now.

could you please show us a picture of your degree at programming and the places you worked on programming, please? Cause a game is basically a program that follows the same pace as any other program, the only difference is that you have a design team working together with the developers. Cause for me you're just vomiting bullshit here.

not at all, the accuracy doesnt change THAT much with a longer barrel, you just get higher muzzle velocity and longer range, consequently. But for the range that the 556 is effective (500~600 meters), the m4 barrel would do just fine. no doubts that a m16 would do its job much better as a SPR, tho.

hahahaha, so now you're specialist about developing too? how much specializations do you have? first you tell an army veteran that he know nothing about handling guns, now you tell someone that's been working on developing for two decades that he knows nothing about developing. You must be the new einstein, dude, seriously! :rolleyes:

that's not modding, that's admin fiddling. Mods are origins, epoch, namalsk, taviana, etc. Most of the mods suffered from the same disease as the vanilla, admins started to fiddle with loot spawns, vehicles, everything. What made dayz famous what the mods, vanilla started to lose players back in 1.7.1, in 1.7.7.1 there was almost no one playing on true vanilla servers.

ah, yeah, cause you dont have to move your mouse to point the gun at your target in game, right? I bet i could aim to any point of that yellow angle faster than you could do it in COD, for example. just limit the fucking turning speed, there's no need to put negative mouse acceleration in the game. Plus if you put 8k DPI on your mouse, you wont hit shit, never.

LOL, you clearly dont know that a 180 angle means, do you? go back to math lessons, kid.

ok, let's draw, as you clearly have no clue what you're talking about and never wore a military backpack in your life. The area in yellow is the basically instant aiming reach with just upper body movement, the area in orange is the one that you have to change your base (change position of one of your feet) to reach. i dont know how it is on the marines or other country's military, as they use all that M.O.L.E apparel, but with a basic military backpack like this, that is the standart combat pack for brazillian army: the yellow angle is reached virtually instantly. obviously that i only tested it with a loaded FAL, a mosin or a m60 will be more nasty to handle, as the first is long as hell, and the last one is heavier. But with m4-like rifles, what i said apllies. hopefully they'll simulate this angle in game instead of punishing any movement you do as you were aiming a 20kg rifle. Obviously that you're just a troll, as instead of putting arguments on the table, all you can do is call me a COD kid. Happily, your actitude makes clear that the kid here is you.

are you fucking kidding me? do i need to post my pictures here, so the 12 year trolls can believe? Search a little about the default combat package for the Brazillian army, kid. I was corporal there, was the best marksman on my company. It's you who dont know shit about how things work on real life.

what's the part of "i served in the army" didnt you get? Here on my country, we do all campaign ativities with a big backpack full of stuff (including clothes, first aid kit, maintenance kit for clothes and gun, 2 1-day MRE's and more shit.) That is very similar to the Alice pack from the mod. It roughly weight 15 to 20 kilos easily, plus its metal frame. and my country's army standart rifle is the FAL, 5 kilos loaded, and i could still turn anywhere in the 180 degree angle in front of me in a blink of an eye. Turning more than the 180 angle would take just a step or even just a torso movement, not even CLOSE to what we have in the game. You probably never simulated the situation in your life, you're saying it based just by guesses.

jesus, your tactis are bad and you should feel bad, man. you stand on the open with your weapon undrawn most of the time, WTF is wrong with you?

you mean, just like in real life, when people train to get better at shooting? yeah yeah, totally game-breaking, you should spawn on the coast and go full vassili zaitsev as soon as you get your first mosin. ...not

you never handled a rifle at real terrain on your life, did you? it's actually easier than aiming with the mouse, you instinctively aim at where you want. I was in the army, did many field campaigns, Even 5kg FN FALs are easier to handle than the way it's simulated in the game. The tricky thing about shooting is to stabilize the sights when you're standing and maintaining balance when you shoot, and i must say, you'll only lose balance when you're shooting a big cadridge like 7.62x39 or heavier. it's a huge mistake trying to emulate shit in the game not based on real life experience, just guesses.

fanboy...

yet you need the game to be easier, or else you get your ass handled to you by it, right? no, i think shit shouldnt be handled over to everybody's hands, the same as in real life you dont get money without working your ass out. It's no self esteem, i'm just against promoting easier games just because people dont get time to play it. If you have no time, just dont play it and go on with your life.

well, they actually have the same exact effect of a 2d scope, as the peripheral vision is zoomed too, so no point in having them in 3d, only for graphical purpose, i guess. And the scope positioning is awful, it seems that you're holding the acog 30cm in front of your face, when in reality you would see it much bigger.
