there is a mp5k-compensator in the gamefiles. I'm not sure about the suppressor. It could fit, because of 5.56, but maybe not, dunno ;)

TBH, I don't think Zed's should be able to climb ladders. If we take the 08/15-Zombie, which is rotting all the time. They may "know" advanced movements like climbing ladders for some time. But when their brain and muscles are rotten, they can only walk or crawl. I think in DayZ we should have this type of Zombie, which is esay to come by alone, but in "herds" or groups of 5 and more they become dangerous.

"the odd rifle" ...? You mean the B95 ? ;) But I agree with you. %rarity-lootspawns are on the way, I have read somewhere. So this will come, I'm very sure.

Get on a tall house in Electro, launch Beans in the surrounding area. "I bring you peace!" xD

it can mount all M4-scopes (because of the same rail-system) So an ACOG is also possible xD However the bullet-velocity is lower than the M4's, so "long-range"-engagements won't be easy because of the velocity and bullet-drop.

CTorchia said some while ago, that DayZ will probably receive the Marlin 1984C, because it shares the .357-ammo with the Revolver. However, the Winchester 1895 would be good, since it shares Mosin-ammo, too.

^this^ it will take 1-4 shots kill someone with the cz527. And because it's a bolt-action-rifle it will take~5-10s. And it only holds 5 rounds in the magazine... Dayum...

I suggested this some time ago already :p And it is already covered here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/198113-dayz-virtual-paper-doll-community-clothing-suggestions-v19/ ;)

yeah, but 5.56 for a bolt-action rifle... that's a 2-4-shot-kill with a RoF under 70 RPM, I bet...

so 5.56 and .223 are the same? good to know xD in the gamefiles there's also a compensator for it, which reduces the dispersion by -0.05

damn. in the gamefiles stands, that the cz527 uses 5.56-ammo (0.o) and is as accurate as the Mosin with 0.0025 \(0.o)/

I think mil. and civilian gear is pretty balanced right now, too. TTsKO- & Gorka-pants <==> Hunting pants Hunting backpack <==> Mountain backpack and vice versa the "only" problem are TTsKO- & Gorka-jacket. A Hunting-jacket would be good. However, I like the idea of different backpacks having different specialisations, like military-backpacks being able to carry more guns(handguns, no big rifles),ammo&mags, while the hunting-backpack, etc. have more slots for food and medical items.

the Longhorn always has the scope attached to it ;)

Well, also Motorbikehelmet+Gasmask. Steampunk-stormtrooper :D

Sometimes Realism must be screwed over to maintain fun and balance in the game ;) and I think it makes DayZ interesting, because you're never equipped for everything. You must make decisions, not just take everything ;) Right! They apparently buffed "carrying 2 weapons", so the only downside now is, that the gun drops, when you do something else, which is a fair disadvantage, IMO.

has been suggested and busted many times. IMO, it's good as it is. with 2 primaries you could fight everything. Like Mosin+M4. You would be deadly at both, CQC and longrange. DayZ hits the right spot. You only take 1 gun. You have to choose, and you're not an allrounder, which is good, because I think DayZ is about making decisions and (partly) limiting yourself. (If there would be no limits, it would be boring as fuck) You can already carry 2 primaries, but with a disadvantage of running slower and dropping the gun often.

these are the dispersions for each handgun Longhorn: 0.01Amphibia S: 0.02FNX-45: 0.03CZ75: 0.03Magnum: 0.031911: 0.3P1: 0.03 ;) but that's right. the 1911 is really decent. .45 deals enough damage, and 7 rounds are enough to kill an enemy, if the aiming is steady and the server doesn't get any random-ping-hick-ups xD

I don't know how to say, but well. Quite a big part of the Community wants weapons, which: - fit the scenario/history/backround - won't mess up the gameplay Also civilian weapons are preferred over military special-gear. I could see a .50-cal in DayZ, and it could work, if sniping is influenced by wind, weather, etc. and if the Ammo would rare enough to find, the weapon get's dirty, etc. etc. IMO, the priority for adding firearms should be: - History and Backround (no typical american firearms, if eastern "counterparts" exist. for example Rem.870 <=> MP-153 ;) ) - Gameplay and Balance (and sometimes realism must be screwed over to maintain fairness and fun in the game) - Far more civilian firearms than mil. weapons (like a ratio from 1:3 or even 1:6 for milgear : civilgear) I don't really know you, so don't be angry ;) You could either be a "little kiddo", who wants "his" favourite gun in the game to camp, etc. If this is your intention, I will be against this ;) But if you know, what the DEVs and the biggest part of the Community want, and understand, that smth. like your wish can "only" be implemented later on, when the game's balanced is changed to accept such a thing, then it's cool to suggest a gun like this. ;) However, smth. like your rifle in the current game is a totally utterly NO-GO (for me personally) (People could be sniped from far far away, because there is only bullet-drop, which can be countered by the chernarusplus-map and zeroing. If ammo wasn't hard enough to find, people would just camp in the woods on the hills around a town, and DayZ would turn into a hard camp-fest)

Yeah, they should focus on persistent storage xD It seems like they will implement tents as storage, even though they somewhere said, that they want to test persistent objects with backpacks first... (IMO, persistent backpacks would be enough storage for the casual gamer. Set up 1-3 backpacks full of supplies in the wilderness and you're set)

why not the Mosin, SKS and B95, too? (Sawn off Mosin aka Obrez is world-wide-known, and sawn off B95-stats are in the gamefiles already)

one month of idling is over. Now that the CZ is confirmed, and that we probably will be able fit a Bipod and Scope on it, I hope the B95 won't be forgotten. Also I wanted to mention (again) the "Hunting_Scope12x", which is in the gamefiles for quite some time now. I don't give up the hope xD An optic for the B95 would be really really useful, since every rifle out there got at least 1 scope (Mosin, SKS, M4, AKM, SKS Well, not the Ruger10/22, but.....)

Damn, I really REALLY hope the "12x-Hunting_scope", (which is in the gamefiles already) will not be CZ-527-only, but also for the Blaze 95. I mean, both guns are hunting rifles.... And maybe the Hunting-scope should fit on both hunting rifles...? Otherwise we have a problem...

I think things like this will come (At least a use for raincoats, bubble-goose-jackets, ponchos,etc. to protect you from rain&cold weather. Also gas-masks being useful for gas-grenades or toxic areas) However, shoes would be a bit too over-the-top (4 me personally. Because I like to wear white leather-shoes in the apocalypse (stay classy'n shit) ) I'm not sure about ballistic masks. Yeah, they look cool and intimidating and what now. But when a bullet hits you in the face, it may not penetrate your skull, but you will still get hit veery hard in the face and go unconscious + break your nose or jaw (I know, too much realism can destroy the fun in a game)

Hopefully the hunting scope will fit on the hunting rifle, which is the B95 :) But since current DayZ had no wind and other things making harder, just bulletdrop, a semi-auto anti-material rifle, which fires rather fast and can penetrate "everything", things would get rather messy in DayZ. (Weapons like the Mosin, B95, SKS, Longhorn and nearly all pistols would be "useless") However, I could see this gun in DayZ, if it was balanced
