DayZ will only utilize one of your CPU cores and at most 4gb of RAM.

Should be able to run DayZ moderately well, you should look into getting more RAM in the long run and that processor might need upgrading in the near future.

Fuel Source Depletion And Alternative Fuel Sources (Server Uptime)
Insaniac (DayZ) replied to Steak and Potatoes's topic in Suggestions
So what you're saying is you first thought that this idea wasn't realistic so it shouldn't be implemented, now you've been proven wrong so it's too realistic and shouldn't be implemented. Logic? None found here. -
I feel like I'm the only one who noticed it states that this is overpoch in the video title.

You're comparing two different classes of weapon so there's no "better" weapon between the two as they each excel in the area they are designed for. The AKM is an Assault rifle and is very good for general use over almost any range, it has great stopping power, range and is fairly accurate but it's fire rate is slightly lower to other models in it's class and it's 7.62mm cartridge produces some fairly high recoil. It may not be ideal in close quarters because of it's recoil and relatively low fire rate but it is still highly effective if you make your first rounds count as it is far more powerful than an SMG's pistol cartridge. The MP5K is an SMG meant for CQC, it has a high rate of fire, low velocity and low penetration rounds, very manageable recoil and it is compact. It is an ideal choice in enclosed spaces or over short distances, it's light 9mm round means it also produces far less noise than a full sized rifle like an AKM so it could be more useful if you are trying to clear an area quietly. However it will not measure up to an assault rifle over long range because it's pistol cartridge simply isn't as powerful. Ultimately it comes down to preference and the situation you happen to be in, personally I'd prefer an AKM because as Geckofrog mention it packs far more punch making it more efficient ammo wise and giving it an advantage in longer range engagements.

Some DayZ Facts About You...
Insaniac (DayZ) replied to cheeseburger8's topic in New Player Discussion
I was part of the Balota Blood drive gang, we would strip naked and assault people passing through the Balota area and steal much of their blood. Uncooperative people were rendered unconscious and were forced to play IV roulette where we would insert an unknown blood type into them and release them into the wild to see if they survived. -
if you join too quickly after a restart it is known to sometimes cause character wipes yes.

Killing yourself for a "better" spawn is no less an exploit than server hopping for loot and ruins the survival aspect of the game.

Removing upgraded mechanics that improve usability and give more free, realistic movement for the sake of being able to say "This game isn't a twitch shooter because it's movement mechanics are shit." sounds like a pretty stupid idea, but to each their own I suppose.
