generally they use tranqs on specific animals based on weight so they dont kill them or whatever. so they get the right amount in the needle to take out an animal so there is no second shots really. that being said it would be 1 round per reload and that would be a direct chamber reload so it would be slower. naturally the needle is slower when in the air and heavier than a bullet so you would probably have to be in relatively close distance, at least with a pistol. a rifle might be as good as 300m but the delay would be long. also you would need to find needles and the actual medicine to make the ammo. picture related to size of magazines, and how annoying it would be to get the thing in there.

different surfaces should have different sounds for players to hear. also light and shadows should take into play. i mean night time it totally makes you invisible but in day time, sitting in the shadow of a tree should make you less visable. or lying down in tall grass with a guillie on should too. i very much like being stealthy and following people to take them out with one shot to the head with a silenced rifle but with the very basic stealth system we have right now it just is to ridiculous to be spotted by a zombie 50m away when your in a grass suit in the middle of a field.

kinda like how socom does it? terrible video but when the guy starts throwing grenades it shows a yellow line of where the grenade will land. longer he holds it the farther it goes.

when you shoot SS rounds out of a regular m4 in game they are very inaccurate.

winter, summer, fall, spring. that sort of thing. they would change according to real time. so say you lived in america and its usmmer there and you went on a US server it was summer on it. but say in the southern hemisphere it would be winter or cold (totally dont know how that works.) so if you went on their servers it would be winter time on it. i think it would be neat playing in different seasons and having to adapt to the rain and snow and what not that the seasons have to offer. it would also help with the customizable clothing in SA since they may actually have a purpose. you will get sick and eventually die form the cold if you dont have a coat on or whatever. this could be done through seperate different maps.. but id like to play on a chernarus map in the dead of winter. kinda like i was playing metro 2033.

dont be stupid then. its very easy to stay hidden from snipers and their sniper spots. especially if their the electro snipers or chern snipers. id rather take on a sniper than a close quarters encounter with another person any day.

yeah i know it wouldnt be a RIGHT NOW thing. i still think it would be bad ass to have different variants of camo and different paint for guns and what not. also weather would probably have a huge impact. say freezing rain or just snow in general. or heat waves and shit. potentially events in the game. like christmas trees in houses or halloween costumes you could wear.

ehhh, being near a campfire and/or tent. i could see that working out.

neither of those. how about when you are in combat or no matter what when you log out your character stands still or lies down for maybe a minute. what ever hits him and what not saves. so if you shoot at somebody and they literally alt + tab and close the game that way, their character is still there for a minute.

my humanity level is about -500k from only playing for a few months. i dont know how low people have theirs but i figured half a million is a lot. my favorite experience is when me and my friend were playing in electro on a night server. there was a helicopter with a light on and flares in town so we assumed they didnt have night vision like me and my friend did. anyway, we decided those guys needed to be less cocky so we decided to take out their helicopter. i was looping around the back of the hospital, the coast side, and the helicopter was right above the firestation closest to the sniper hill. i was lined up with my saw on the helicopter asking my friend if i should shoot it. he told me to hold off until he signaled went off. i thought "what signal?". BANG! a grenade blows up the helicopter that was hovering there 40m off the ground and it goes crashing down to the earth. meanwhile it kills 2 people, my friend and the pilot. i run up the sniper hill to assess the situation and there are two people on the wreckage looting bodies. i lie down and mow them down with my saw. meanwhile i didnt notice there was a snipe beside me. he shoots at me with a silenced m9 and misses my head by inches. i whip around and shoot him aswell. on global chat the people we killed are freaking out at us. it was pretty funny and one of the best moments of day z i have had.

i figure with the new armor and what not for SA why not have new types of ammo. incendiary, armor piercing, hollow point, buck shot, bird shot, explosive ect. i think it would be quite nert.

yeah, who said the military uses incendiary rounds though.. or armor piercing. i mean it would be rare but not game breaking difference.

its not really a must have at the start. if they are making it like how they did minecraft it would be fine.

i was with a friend above electro near the barn. we see a man walk into the barn with an m4a3 cco. me and my friend are packing heat too. me a saw and him an m4a1 cco sd. we approach the barn from opposite sides and as soona s my friend enters i hear a man screaming in russian at us. he mows down my friend and i try to shoot him. he breaks my legs and i crawl for cover. i morphine myself and hide my friends body. i decided not to screw with the guy since i was scared. mean while i was doing this he is laughing in the back ground shooting at nothing and screaming in russian. (i cant speak russian so i was scared) and decided to just leave the server.

trains run on coal. that or electricity. so even if it was an old coal powered train you would need coal to run it. i dont think arma has coal =p

M4A1 CCO SD m9 sd DMR. i can get head shots from moving targets at about 600 m.

hello stalker.

go play l4d if you want to just kill zombies.

thats implying that you need more that ten people on a server. if anything you would need 5 people per major city such as electro or chern. 2 snipers at different spots and 3 going in.

i was playing with my friend and we both had snipers. me with an SVD and him with a DMR, we both hate using anti material rifles since it totally kills the fun of aiming for heads. anyway we were scouting out electro to go loot some food when we hear a low hum of a car or something coming. turns out it was a humvve or whatever. we decided were taking it and with one shot from my svd it landed a headshot on the driver. 2 guys jump out and my friend takes out one and i take out the other in a total of 3 shots. its was pretty awesome. and we got nvgs and LMGs for it.

Alright this idea comes straight from left 4 dead 2 the passing DLC.basically there are unique zombies that used to be survivors until their demise. they could be from the military or be a common civilian or perhaps a hunter of some kind. depending on what their background is it would have loot corresponding to it. if they are in the military they may have camo clothing or perhaps level 3 armor and what not. a hunter would have camo clothing and a rifle of some kind or civilians pistols and basic gear like bandages and what not. this would also solve the whole thing with people saying your body should come back to life if you are eaten. since there would already be survivors walking around dead. i think it would satisfy those people and it wouldnt be to hard to incorporate in comparison. picture is related to the left 4 dead fallen survivor.

this kills the idea.

im pretty sure the whole person dying and getting up has. not that there are unique zombies like this completely irrelevant to players dying though.

never thought of it like that, but yeah i can see that happening. perhaps randomly spawning bases on the map that the maps would lead to. it would be over run though by zombies. probably civilian since they would be moving people there. it would be like a chest leading to a bigger chest.

i wouldnt say they were really post apocalypse surviving though. just when the outbreak was starting. so i wouldnt say it was a fallen survivor.
