    The SA was supposed to be hard core survival.Every steam so far Iv seen,they are fully kitted out,ARs,scopes,silencers,sniper rifles shite loads of ammo,food then KOS.Nothing has changed or is any different from other mods.

    Im not buying its alpha excuse,Its deliberate

    To get sales it has to appeal to the codkiddie that will make up 90% of sales,get gun(the only danger here is tripping over them and breaking a leg) and then "noobs gonna get PWNED Brah",die rinse&repeat.

     

    What i dont get, is where this SA is going to stop KoS, based around hard core survival came from??(kinda like 2017... which was popular for all o an hour,. before everyone realized it was tedious and boring as all hell, and been empty since)) I've asked most times i ve seen a thread whining about KoS in the Mod, with people claiming this isnt what its about etc where they've gotten that from.(which i agree, its not all about, but it is a part)

     

     I ask this, because the way i see it... the Zombies were about forcing players into making hard decisions, killing there mates etc to survive... or teaming up and "cleansing an area/spawn of competition" etc.. This is why dayz is so good... a lone wolf sniper is going to get pawned by a well organized group... and lone wolf survivor, should be like a frightened deer.

     

     I was playing the mod since quite a while back, before i joined forums, but was reading the forums really since i started playing... i recall rocket sorta coining the care bear... (some comment about going back to their kingdom of caring  ;) i dont recall exactly, long time ago) And ive certainly seen him write about being consequences for choices... But i have never seen him comment about stopping KoS?

    Why do people think its stupid for western weapons??? obviously there was an international/UN/NATO intervention mission at the out break, all the wreckage etc is there. Plenty o evidence of it

     

     Im all for hunting rifles... a PKP would rock, old svds flooded the world market after the iron curtain fell, id think they should be fairly common. As well as most ak variants> Chinese have been flooding the market with m14 knock offs recently, real cheap. The more guns the better. :lol:

    It currently doesn't work to chamber the ammunition individually. You will not find yourself a clip in order to be able to load it.

    ?? i found a clip.. one :huh:

     

     Ohh you mean "You will have to find yourself a clip in order to be able to load it."

    So how do you use them? If I try to drag them and load them into the rifle I get an error that they don't fit. If I try to split them, it tells me I don't have enough. What am I doing wrong?

    youve got to empty the box, that option first, so you have loose rnds in your inventory, took me a while to suss too. ;)

    As the title says... i have one on my m4, and had one on the ole bolt action... but never really figured out how i go about sticking the pointy end in stuff i want dead.. any ideas would be appreciated. (i hope its not ww1 styles, weapon must be unloaded, so as your not tempted to waste ammunition)

    I think the zoom kind of try's to simulate focus.

     

    Indeed. Trying to view the world through a desktop monitor brings with it the question of whether to use a realistic magnification and sacrifice peripheral field of view, or zoom out to a fishbowl view affording a degree a peripheral vision but at the cost of fidelity. I think having a "zoom" function when bringing weapons up is a good compromise.

    Bugger yah both... im gonna have to contradict my first beans with those points >:(

    for me this story about womans was funny joke :D

    Lee and friend doing roleplay in zombie apocalypse

    some guy using female charater but is man (this is also strange for me but is different story) :huh:

    he don't say rape, he don't say beansy having blowjob :|

     

    horror happen inside mind of reader, maybe guys who make conclusion need to ask what is wrong there?

    they doing simple game play in game :thumbsup: ;)

     

    you think zombie apocalypse don't have true horror things happen????

    is horror game or what????

     

    every day on tv is movie or tv show with more horror like rape and worse things

    I read again this story and I don't see nothing here is wrong and deserve graveyard :(

    is story from apocalypse and some guys here make report because they don't like hi m and mods react because they are.....

     

    I don't understand why they put in graveyard

    Im generally with yer on most things you say KoS.. But im with the mods on the girl story, a bridge to far, im not all that PC, but that kinda thing is just not good for a community in general..

     

     As far as this one goes, err its dayz... its legit play, dont have an issue with it(i personally dont generally get verbally abusive to peeps, or think highly of it,  but thats the only thing here that stopped me giving beans...) Its not KoS even ;)  its interacting!! then killing... like the good ole days, when it was yah team mate that shot yah in the back o head for that box o matches.. ;)

     

     Nothing newbish about it... this is what dayz was like before KoS became the norm(who am i kidding, there have always been KoS..) it pays to have a contingency plan when dealing with strangers. Its these despicable acts that make dayz so good.

    Ok, than something like for holding the breath longer. There a thousand of ideas, i don't like it if a starter is lucky and finds a sniper rifle and than hunts down full geared players. But yeah that's DayZ ;D

    I hope they have weapon sway like in arma 3(so stance is important)... as much as that recieves much rage, it makes shooting a bit more skillful.. but that should be more a player learning to cope with that... thats what real shooting is, everyone will sway standing unsupported, but a good shot will pull the trigger at the right time. I dont like the idea o holding breath longer... its gamer rubbish, when you are shooting, you use your breathing to control point o aim, ,exhaling to bring aim onto target, and hold "briefly" while squeezing trigger, when you have desired sight picture... holding breath for any time, increases heart rate, and messes with yah vision.

     

     Stuff like developing an immune system etc makes sense, thats cool, making a skill system  like skyrim, not so cool.

    From what we've seen so far the standalone already seems to have a pretty good weapons list.

     

    I would like to see more hunting rifles. The focus in games is always on the anti-human guns, either current military issue weapons, or surplus, or handguns, but rarely any variety in hunting rifles. I want more Sauer, Steyr, CZ, Mauser, Browning, Sako, Tikka, Zastava, etc.

     

     Yea i would also like to see a good variety o hunting cartridges available... i dont think make, is that important as far as the rifle goes... (tikka or remington, ruger cz... err all great makes, and have terrific models... but it matters more what they are chambered in... but o course most hunting cartridges are a lot harder hitting than the "anti-human guns"... an m40 or m24, is basically a remington model 700... probably  one o the most common hunting rifles in the world (it is a fantastic rifle)

     

     I dont know about this combo gun, they are rich mans display pieces rather than practicle hunting weapons imo(more a spin off of the original big game safari rifles). But err im all for variety so i wont complain about its inclusion. But i think the common hunting cartridges should be available in a variety o rifles... so .308,  30-06,  .270, 7mm-08 .300win mag  and maybe some varment/light game rounds like .223 .22-250  .243    and then the scrub rifle... 30-30   glad to hear they already plannin on puttin in a ruger m10/22.  maybe a lil toz .22 wouldnt go astry.

    i dont like this. i dont think the scope would be thrown off from shooting. 

     Crappy mounts... + heavey recoil = scope falling off weapon... ohhh yes it can happen ;)  But its from using say cheap mounts made with a .22 in mind on say a .270/.300win mag or something that has that really jarring recoil (as oppossed to the gentle push o a 7.62 or shot gun)

     

    Edit in the relevance= So in time they can creep a lil, even with less recoil... good scopes with good mounts not so much. Or just from every day knocks etc... again, good mounts not so much... it pays to buy GOOD mounts if you are looking at buying a scope... i doubt very much if they will distinguish mounts in SA mind.

     

     (air rifles will be more variable i would think than a normal rifle due atmospheric conditions/ changing density o air/temp (although this does effect standard bullet flights, it would also effect propollsion on an air gun, )

    Could be craftable, after all, your standard water bottle filled with scraps of paper would pass as a makeshift silencer (like 1-4 uses).  Sure we can make alright silencers with hand tools or a small workshop (like one you'd find in a home garage, vise, handsaw, drill, ect).

    Oil filters make great silencers ;)  baffles already there, there is a guy who sells threaded ends to take em even, but just a knife butcher job, and stuff on end o barrel, fasten with a bit o duct tape, and it isnt a bad silencer. (first bullet or two may go astry till yah got a nice clean hole through the front o the casing)

     

    A makeshift flamethrower.  Or if you want to get really crazy(and probably unrealistic) a grenade launcher type thing that could shoot Molotov type things.

     Well a spud gun could do that, yah know, the 80mm piece o pipe, an end cap, and a electrode bbq igniter... just add hair spray aand whatever yah want to launch to where ever.. (i recall people shooting beer bottles with one at a party when i was a young fellar...  just add gas and glisterine or pitch or what ever is handy and stuff a cloth in there and yah will be cookin :thumbsup:

    I do like the idea. I doubt it will happen, it would take a fair bit o work.

     

     Ive always bore sighted bolt actions just by pulling the bolt out, sighting down the bore, and adjusting the cross hair to whats in the middle o what i see in the middle o the bore (a flower or what ever happens to be handy, when im sighting) and i find this gets the x axis lined up just fine... if its not when your shooting, its because your pulling the rifle when you fire... so bore sighting, is enough to get a rifle shooting well enough to hit a target as big as a person out to a couple o hundred meters any way.. (depending on the calibre from there, you can just adjust for drop, without needing to fire a single round.)

    what the heck? did you ever shoot a rifle at night?

    I was ten years infantry... so  yea, ive fired literally thousands o live rounds at night over that time, and seen hundred o thousands fired i would think... very few operationally (one contact on an FOB in East Timor) And i have a few hunting rifles, that have been used for pest control at night around my place (been a farmer last ten years) My ole .270 breathes like a dragon in the dark ;)

    ArmA has the blank rounds effect ( pretty big sometimes disturbing/blinding flash with a short area lighting effect )..it's a little helper for the "non combatants" among us so they at least have a chance to see the enemy.

    That rifles live fire seems pretty anaemic... id be pretty suss on the quality, burnability o the cordite used in the ball in that vid(is it ole ww2 surplus), but not familiar with the calibre, i would have thought it should be similiar to a .303 (there was no flash suppressor) But talking o live firing made me think o this character and this mini gun.

    Even then you would have to be looking in that direction and be close enough to see it because it only takes a fraction of a second to disappear again.

     Yea you do need to be looking in the right direction, but its really obvious at night, even with flash suppressors (not to be confused with a suppressor, but yes suppressors also reduce muzzle flash, but by slowing the release o the gases/ so reduces the size), machine guns are ridiculously easy to pin point at night... Without a flash suppressor, rifles shoot out a massive toungue o flame, the flash suppressor just vents/ disperses that flame in a 180 degree arch... still the same amount o gas escaping at the same rate/velocity, just better dispersed. It lights yah up at night.

     Yea, id agree with the general consesus of the responses, ive been shot at a handfull o times, and shit loads o experience o live rounds going past, you can sorta get the range, from the time between the crack/ thump and then gun shot(not if its heaps o rounds, yah dont hear the gun shot, just snappin o the bullets)... but direction can be quite hard to pin point, echos etc make it a lot harder than you think.

     

     As for muzzle flash, at night it stands out like dogs balls, during day light hours, unless its kicking up dust, its very hard to spot. So, i think arma has done as good, if not better job of handling gun fire than any other game... (although i hear there is a mod that does the sounds better, but i havnt tried it, will have to get my A into g on it)

     

    Edit, i should add in, im actually a lil on the deaf side now, so as far as i can tell, it sounds all right to me, on the recieving end anyways.

  23. Posted

    I made a rather quick video comparing the sounds of vanilla ArmA II and the ACE sound mod, I would like to hear sounds like the ones in that mod.

     

    That is quite an improvement, i havnt used that mod, but i noticed when facing the gun shots youre not getting the crack with the mod? do you still get it at range? Ive never minded the sound o close rounds in arma, its kinda got the crasck/thump thing right. Does the mod?

  24. Posted · Edited by KingOchaos

    If it's worse than the mod out of the gate, it has failed.

     

    The whole point of it is to be better than the mod...it's the sole reason it exists and if it isn't... don't release it.

    sooooo, dont buy it till after the alpha /beta :|  as seems to be being reitterated with every communication from rocket in regards to SA. How could you miss it?

     

     Edit, i like shiny new things :D

    We will be collecting this information but I am not sure if our official website will be hosting the information.

     

    My preference would be to figure out a good (secure) way to allow the community to host such sites and information, as there are some extremely talented people out there.

     Yah know, it could be a great marketing ploy for final release, to have a compo for the first six months, that the longest hours survived wins xxxx... Or somehting vaguely o the sort (all gamers think we are awesome, and buying the game is as good as ensuring the victory, i just think it could be a neat lil marketing tool. But err.)

     

     Also, why K2!!! youve climbed everest!!! russian roulette is a safer bet than K2!!! Your'e a mad men! Braver man than me. (in saying that.. my ole man was always trying to talk me into saving for antartica, doing some peaks there... he died on a fall on mt taranaki!!! one we climbed once a week through winter... so err, yah gotta do these things while you can i suppose, only live once)
