I have a fair few firearms and have a reasonable amount of military experience. Certainly the civilian weapons shouldn't come with a sling as standard none of mine did and I had to purchase each one, but, most military weapons yes they do have a standard sling that is attached to them. This bieng said I do like and agree with the idea as you know and I think a couple of divers slings for the military weapons wouldn't be a bad thing either.

Firstly I've never seen a set of NVGs using those types of battery and of course they would have to be specific to them, that kind of went without saying. Most military NVGs are head or helmet mountable which leaves the arms free without a prob but unless a weapon is accompagnied by a zeroed in IR then they're not much use as 'gun optics' and to be honest sighting with NVGs on is not evident at all as you cant use your red dot or iron sights to any degree its point in the general direction and shoot or use other methods of rudementary sighting. There are of course NVSs which are rifle or weapon mounted, same goes for civ pop versions those they are much less powerful or as net as the mil versions and most civ NVGs or monos don't come with any form of head gear or attachement. (In fact in a fair few countries it is illegal to possess NVGs that have a head mounting capacity, France for example) Afraid we will have to totally disagree on this point as I find no serious reason to your arguementation bar you don't like them and you think that it ruins gameplay for you quite simply put. And once again another thread gets turned around into an NVG pissing match.

Simple solution make the battery life in the NVGs realistic too, I'm damned if I would use them constantly the batteries would just get chowed. Then make the batteries hard aquire.

I don't server hop, the only time I change server whilst playing is if my buddies jump in on another server and then I'll just stay there. I think that interaction on this size of map with the low amount of players per server will always be an issue. I've gone days without coming across anyone and as per usual its luck of the draw on the encounter friendly or bandit.

Well having read through a fair amount of threads on here and the positive responses there have been to the entrance of the 'military' weapons and such leads me to believe that the minority seem to be the ones shouting the loudest about how horrible it is to have simple, standard military gear in the game, and, if it must be in then should be uber rare. As I stated earlier if so many are against it then why not remove the military bases altogether...heres the rub though...it will never happen, more gear will be introduced like it or not. Do you realize the proliferation of AKs around the world ? so why should it be restricted and made super rare in the game, just to please a seeming minority. Helicopters, high powered sniper rifles on the otherhand yes fine with that sort of thing being ultra rare if in at all, cars well what village these days doesn't have a few cars, trucks, tractors etc hanging around. NB. NVGs are standard unit issue in most military forces now so again if there are mili bases why cite that as an example of something that needs to be ultra rare and restricted. Hell if I had a set I wouldn't use them half the time anyways because they chow batteries

Believe me 2 weapons and a sidearm plus full combat load out is seriously heavy and damned if I'd want to carry a third weapon.

Why ? if that is the case then remove all the military installations from the game and be done with it. As for NVGs hell you can buy them on the open market (not really the latest milspec gen3+s and above) and a fair amount of hunters use them these days especially for nocternal game like bushpig or even stalking. I don't disagree that it shouldn't be hard to get hold of and generally its not the easiest thing as where this stuff spawns is usually in bandit country, but to make them extremely rare ??? I don't think that you are speaking for the people but yourself in that respect as clearly there are those that disagree.

I still don't get why the hell people keep going on about NVGs being super rare....there are military bases and police stations on the map. Last time I checked in my company NVGs were a pretty standard piece of kit and that was a few years ago, hell even in the job I have now we have standard issue NVGs. Choppers on the other hand.....yup totally agree that they should be as hard as hell, if any at all Mind you the ones we get issued now are nowhere near as good as the mili ones.

Really can't be bothered in going down this line with you as you obviously have no notion of what your talking about and post childish little statements like that.

Quite true, almost all military and service weapons come with slings though most civ pop weapons and 'sniper' rifles don't, still who hasn't removed the crappy service sling to upgrade to something a little more acceptable like a single or even triple point, I know I did. Lumping a weapon around without a sling is a real pain in the ass especially on foot, over miles and miles of terrain and obstacles I just think that the OP would like to see the same sort of thing happening in game and I have to agree with him, there is nothing wrong with getting the realism up.

Got a sheath for my parang that fits nicely on my belt ;) apologies for the double there :facepalm:

Erm no its not, I carried my shotgun or rifle, trenching tool and hachet on my backpack, why should it be any different in the game?

This is one ocassion that I can agree totally with what you state. I would even go so far as to have improvised slings like you suggest for large melee weapons/ rifles and actual rifle slings for the rifles that help with stablility on standing and kneeling shots.

I said it before in the other threads and will say it again here.....Terrible idea just down right terrible and will set the game up for disaster.

As someone stated earlier there needs to be more zombies/infected on the map. All this PvP crap is getting stupid, its no longer the occasional skirmish from time to time but is now systematic and synonymous with the game. I'm all for the odd skirmish don't get me wrong but where is the survival element in constant PvP? in the end it just becomes another CoD game with a bit of a twist. Yes there is a question of 'survival' in PvP but I am pretty sure that this game was not just meant to be about that.

If you want huge clan battles then best off sticking to CoD, BF3 or WOT matey this is a survival game not a clan battle scena. I for one and I'm sure there are many others that think this would be totally against that sort of thing being brought in. Skirmishes with bandits, tons of infected/zombies around, the hunt for gear to survive thats what this is about its a nightmare post apocolyptic game trying to survive as best as possible....massive pre-planned clan matches indeed.... Like I said people that want to do huge clan battles should then go and do it on a game that is more 'designed' to it.

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: Don't think I can give that bone statement anymore facepalms otherwise I'll just fill the damn page.

Quite right there is nothing to stop you having your opinion! and it should not be snubbed like that which is just downright rude. I am unable to play the game for weeks at a time due to the work I do and where I'm situated, but, does that make me less entitled to an opinion ? no ! I think that this is a terrible idea that will destroy the whole game, server hopping to find uber rare gear...please ! This is just a very poor concept that will, IMO, kill the game off totally. The few that that think this is a great concept keep it up but clearly your ideas and opinions are in the minority on this particular subject just from what I have read on here.

I've seen plenty of wooden stocks crack with usage and then its a throw away as it becomes a dangerous weapon to shoot so whats wrong with modernizing it? Where has the ruggedness gone eh, as I'm sure the barrel and action will keep working even if the cross bashed around a bit, will it not work with the stock changed?. Its polymer for starters so not just any old 'plastic', would you consider that a Glock can't take a beating ? or a S&W MP? But this being said, you're right, it is made by a certain company.....

Well no one expects 'sniping' to be easy and it shouldn't, its not just point and shoot. If anything I would like to see it become even more realistic with other effects taken into consideration such as windage, elevation etc. And this is a nice version of the Mos. Mosin Nagent modernized ;) As for the 1911, a 7 round mag is standard, its a single stack of large caliber bullets (and my personal favourite). You can get drum mags for the old gal in RL but best have a RONNI or something similar to use it in as it gets rather heavy, plus they tend to be extremely problematic, in other words better off having half a dozen 7 shot mags than one hunk of shite.

Well can't argue that point as Malkovitch pulled it off superbly :D

erm correct me if I'm wrong but this is an 18+ game ? nieve perhaps but 10yo shouldn't be playing it so its a moot point. as to one slot teddy bears....WHY???? what the hell is the point of that unless you want to do RED having the 500SW stuffed in the pig lol

Indeed and I do know a little something about it as I live there too ;) Love it ! one of the nicest countries I've lived in TBH and don't see myself moving again.

Well then you are as well travelled as I am so get off your high horse already and understand that what I was stating was banter there was no rasist intent in my comments, hell my friends even use those terms themselves. You on the other hand have a serious attitude problem towards the English as a people and a nation, there lies a true racist if ever I saw one, it makes me wonder why ? I am neither a rasist nor a xenophobe and I resent the implication that I am. Also the English are hated around the world are they? strange ? every country I've been to I've never encountered such a thing and I've been to quite a few so would love to know where you derive that little factoid from. Oh and I've lived in 4 countries spanning three continents and worked in dozens of others so forgive me if I think you're just spurting your own personal little hatreds over the net in an attempt to feel better.
