Whats with the huge sections of a novel that are not related to this topic in anyway? Also FYI the M4 is inferior weapon, thats only best in close combat.

Im pretty sure this subject has been posted like a dozen times already in the past, but yes facial hair would be nice

This game is about survival and not about 100% realism, for example take a look at DayZ mod where a person can carry engine block or helicopter rotor assembly in their backpack. Also the game is in alpha stage so many things like animations and sounds have place holders and are subject to change. The game is just fine with melee & primary backslots as it is, if anything is disturbing it's the fact foldable AKM doesn't fit inside a backpack, but thats just a balancing thing, so people wont be carrying around both Assault rifle and a sniper rifle and change between them easily.

Aspects of campfire is sort of poorly built at the moment. The need for firewood makes inventory management difficult for woodsman playstyle. To improve it i recommend making campfire with sticks, just like you would in real life before adding such large firewood. This would allow easier campfire building for survivalists and possibly make fires smaller and less detectable, but less heat radiation.

Unless you are planning on server hopping around, finding a rope before starvation could be a possibility (if don't use canned food that is). It wouldn't be such problem if we could deconstruct the bow and fishing rod to switch between the two roles and be able to craft arrows. Since the arrows at the moment have tendency to ricochet off all surfaces and occasionally vanish. At the moment i am using AKM. Doesn't really matter what weapon you carry as primary, long as you don't go overkill with the magazines and ammunition.

Perhaps because you don't do fishing for reliable food source? You cannot have both axe and the fishing rod equipped at the sametime on your back. I carry nothing but the essentials to survive in the wild with enough ammunition to combat and those combat equipment are in my assault vest. I also wear 2 slot shirt, but that extra 2 slots wouldn't make much of a difference to get the axe in if i wanted to get rid of the assault vest. I still say they need to add stick campfire, even thou once they add the upgrade for leather backpack ingame, will solve my issue (probably).

I am aware of this and that is exactly what i do, but by carrying splitting axe i am wasting 4 slots of inventory space that i could use for something better. I do not equip myself to the teeth with item carriers. I would really like to stop using assault vests completely, but it's impossible to equip yourself with full survival kit without it Perhaps could do it with moutaineer backpack, but wearing that thing is suicidal.

Frisbee golf Considering there will be throwing physics added to the game. So i though why not add some simple entertainment for travelers to do while adventuring across Chernarus. There could be frisbee golf tracks scattered around the world which people could do along the way or just for sport. This is luxury activity suggestion that isn't exactly necessity, but would give more entertainment when bored on travels. Discs There are multitude variations of putters, midranges and drivers with each different statistics, which are displayed on discs themselves as numbers. Stances Such as melee can be switch between two stance with space button, you could potentially switch throwing stances from left spin to right spin. Tracks Frisbee golf tracks can be fairly simple, that could even be implemented to existing world of Chernarus with minimal map editing. (Starting platform, basket & maybe map of baskets location).

Having modular equipment is simply over complicating the game.

Regrouping isn't that big of a deal and i think this would just be abused in a humorous way. Imagine group of 5 or more teammates always spawning together and all rush to Elektro to overwhelm fighting bandits and steal their equipment and if they fail. They simply respawn together again and do it all over.

Ever considered a thing called weight to balance out massive inventory space?

Weapon conditions pretty much affect weapon jamming and not much els, unless its completely rusted.

This topic already exists.

Please use the search function. This is one of the topics that have been gone through multiple times.

If that is the gameplay you seek, then you should check out game called "Dying Light" http://dyinglightgame.com/

I have better idea, not to have such system at all. Having such system will do nothing but overpower large groups of players, which is not a good thing. They need to work harder to maintain that group to avoid friendly fire and not have something that simply allows players to easily coordinate and go on rampage across the world with ease.

What limited functionality? Foldable assault rifle (not to mention SMG's) isn't that big and would definitely fit in a backpack, so it would be nice mechanic to have main weapon as secondary. The only issue of this attachment or core part of the weapon is the balancing issue, with snipers carrying both a sniper rifle and assault rifle with them. So instead of foldable buttstocks may have to add weapon backpack/case instead to carry another primary, so they have to sacrifice most inventory space for it.

Go back to play DayZ mod

There is major issue with this suggestion, which is players not knowing where they will be reconnecting at once they comeback. It isn't exactly fair to let players connected to random unconcealed locations where they be shot-on-sight during connection. The ghosting issue is pretty much toned town by the increased connection time and by the 30s logout timer. If he reconnects and has anykind of firearm he will be making loud reloading sounds indicating someone is connecting really close to you, so may wish to rush and stop them, but just you know there is exploit that allows players to go inside the administration building walls and start backstabbing other players.

There was a reason thermal scopes were banned in most servers in DayZ mod.

*facepalm* You obviously do not know the workings behind the stances.

Maybe you get this special button, but i thinks more of gamble when situation develops out of control. That holding down button will likely delay your prone by second at least, enough to get you killed and if you release it too early you might end up standing out of cover. There is nothing wrong with current stance buttons, if anything the arma 3 stance bind would be better then this suggestion. Ctrl + W = one stance up & Ctrl + S = one stance down, but it still needs the regular buttons to quickly prone. If there is "stance up/down" key in the options then you can already do it. They are military stances, the whole body positioning, walking, running and aiming are part of military conditioning. It may seem like regular stances, but there is knowledge that goes in those positionings to improve performance. Unless you have actually being in military service i would advice you to shush. I for one have never seen any regular civilians doing these stances anywhere, not even in paintball or airsoft. Im guessing you don't even know how to position yourselves while proning on the ground, so you can breath well.

That is why you logout in well concealed locations and if server resets get out of poor location on low populated servers. Imagine being on low ammunition and you shoot your last bullets on connecting guy, just to find out he has spawn protection. Also that is why they added the slowly recovering vision on loading so people can't instantly ghost someone as they connect. If you have ever seen the buggy hitboxes of hills and trees you would know the invisible force fields are annoying and often gets you killed.

This suggestion is obsolete. Extensions of the world of Chernarus were confirmed, even before the games alpha was released. Such as the island of Utes (ArmA 2 island) will be appearing at the coast.

I want to say one word to you. Just one word. "Weight".
