Well no, there are battle rifles, but it is unrealistic and isn't fun, and this should be in suggestions.

Well this game wouldn't be very fun if everybody had a double barreled shotgun now would it?

Good idea, but why is this in General Discussion? Put it in Suggestions.

You know how you really get rid of your tents? Post it on the forums and watch the mayhem that ensues.

I was scared and I had to do something? Ha! that's funny, what were you afraid of losing? Your Patrol pack?

I never thought of the idea of giving heroes a skin, I think it's brilliant, a way to further decipher who's god or bad. It will also most likely minimize the problem with regular survivors shooting people, this will show you exactly who you can trust, although at the same time I think it's getting a little to unrealstic, part of the idea surrounding meeting new people is that you don't know if they are good or bad.

What do you mean "no-longer a realistic survival game" are you serious? People like you keep complaining about the same thing over and over again. Here's some fantastic examples of the stuff you say: Sniper rifles aren't realistic. In an American and Czech filled warzone, I expected less good guns, why didn't the military come in with lee enfields I mean seriously this isn't realistic. Wow, a bug, this game sucks, I cant believe I died to a tree. Oh my an ALT+F4er, I'm going to go tell the forums all about this guy! Oh gunshots, better disconnect! You hypocrites, this forum board is a joke because of the people who say that stuff, and they really do, and I can't believe how obviously ignorant it is.

Everyone complains way to much about hackers, stop being so naive and joining servers with around 40 people, they are the ones filled with hackers for several reasons. First off, it's a hoppin server, if you were a hacker wouldn't you go there first? Secondly, there are more players, which logically means that it is more likely for there to be a hacker in the server. It's common sense people. I have dealt with hackers once, the whole server was killed. Big whoop, I didn't come to complain on the forum like a fool. Stop expecting a horrible engine and poor anti-cheat program to make magic happen.

The one thing I mainly agree on is that you can crouch, shoot a .50 cal and kill someone from 500-600 meters, almost no sway. It's unrealistic, it would be impossible to pull of a shot of that magnitude in real life, and this is a realistic zombie survival.

In a post-apocalyptic world why would you not hoard, it's foolish to leave behind things that you would need later but wouldn't need at the time. Access to high-powered weapons would still be possible, especially in a country inhabited with some american military. Snipers, in most situations make the most sense to use, because in a hilly, open area, not in a suburban landscape CQB is uncommon. This is a realistic zombie survival, there are indeed snipers in real life.

M14 far surpasses it's counterpart, the MK48. The MK48 may have a bigger magazine, but with rarer ammo, and poor accuracy, it is sub par compared to the M14. Although the situation really depends, but for the most part in this game you will be in long range encounters, rather than short range. They also have about the same fire rate if you can click somewhat fast.

This is an Alpha, hardcore zombie survival, you can't expect to lose your cars to glitches, I cant tell you how many UAZs, Offroaders, ATVs, Bicycles, Motorbikes, and boats I've lost, life is tough, suck it up.

Yeah, because he said he was going to give everything in his Ural to the person who gives him a SVD camo and a Ghillie. Derp, please read what he says...

Yes, because all people want to see is him sitting in a building shooting zombies that walk in one at a time, that's real fun right there,

If you don't like this game don't play it not sure how simpler this idea could be made.

Taking out PvP from a game built around PvP is like taking out someone heart or brain, it's like ripping out the motherboard on my computer, it's like taking out the walls on a house, its like taking the pages out of a book. It's necessary and if you don't like the PvP aspect don't play the game, play Left for Dead 1 or 2, play Nation Red, play No More Room in Hell, you could even play S.T.A.L.K.E.R..

Only on recruit and regular servers, which are a joke anyway. Shouldn't have name tags and your location on the map shouldn't be divulged to yourself, kinda defeats the purpose of a GPS.

At first glance, you're right, if you like PvP servers join them, if you like PvE join them. But it's just not that simple. Let me lay out a scenario for you, I'm a bandit, I love killing people. I join a PvE server and run all the way up to the barracks, walk right in, grab a gun, join a PvP server, and lay waste to anything in my sight. Another scenario, I'm on a PvE server, not a bandit just a scavenger. I look through every building in Cherno, Elektro, and Berezino. There's nothing there! Well, that's because no one has a reason not to run through the streets of Berezino or Eleketro or Cherno. It's as simple as that and that's why PvE servers are a foolish idea.

What server did this happen on?

Alright, a common problem with everyone on the forums complaining about hacking is that you can be killed by a sniper from a very long range, in that case the sound wont be heard by you, say if a guy with an AS50 shoots you at about 800 meters, you wont hear the gunshot, or atleast a loud one, you would just fall over dead. Then you would come onto the forums and say, "I was hacked!" but you weren't, too many people don't understand that that can happen.

Use the Dayz wiki or the Dayzdb map to find the spawns, there are only a few on the coast and because they are only on the coast and people have probably taken them already.

Lol what like Ventrilo? That's by far the worst VOIP program I have ever seen in my life, mumble is decent, Skype has best quality, but then again, only clans use good VOIP programs. So Skype must be bad.

No, this is a good idea, has everyone on here that dislikes this idea ever had a car and hidden it? I say had, for you certainly no longer possess it. So many cheaters use scripts to simply find your vehicle that you spent hours on, it's not fair and if they aren't going to fix the cheaters then they should at least give us a way to keep vehicles from them. Vehicles have come to a point for my group where it's no longer logical to obtain them for they aren't worth the time spent on them, because someone steals them within seconds.

For me I feel like it's the rarest gun in the game. I've seen more of everything but that.
