lol'd.

Twonk summed up my opinion. 'specially the gas mask.

Cool story, Broseph Stalin. So what's your suggestion?

Hipster. -1 But good suggestion so +1

Beans stolen Beans eaten Beans shared Beans murdered for Beans found Beans excreted

Are the nuts organic?

Er, because the mod is in ALPHA and Chernarus was the best map for said ALPHA? If you didn't get it yet, they could be making a new map for the Mod, set in South America or the USA or Switzerland for all we know. People are arguing that Chernarus was in a war, and this, that, and whatnot, as to why or why not NATO weapons should exist. We don't even know if Rocket wants to keep Chernarus, or develop his story in a different country. And most of all, they're taking the original post out of context. The context was: IF THIS MOD REMAINS IN AN EX-SOVIET STATE, Soviet and Russian weaponry should be more common than NATO, British and US weaponry. I then offered a list of possible counterparts. Now can we get on topic and stop going on about the location, please?

Here: Argument settled. We don't know yet.

You make quite the valid point, Bullfrog. I'm going to have to agree with you there.

This just doesn't make any sense at all with the type of game DayZ is. Far too many unrealistic elements. It's a no from me.

I CAN POST IN CAPS WITH NO REASONING BEHIND WHAT I SAY TOO

The search button is your friend, Youri.

Or it can just have a lower spawnrate.

Not possible with the current ARMA engine unless they teleport you to a completely different map. More details about why not in my Underground Military Complex thread.

I'd prefer to wait until the official story comes to light before I support this idea, but it sounds decent.

The less forced options in DayZ, the better. DayZ is one of the most open games I've ever played, and I feel that the more we can retain that complete sandbox feeling with any new content, the better.

That would remove the point of the Developers having the master file. Ergo, it would be easier for players to cheat. @OP +1 for the first half of your idea. However, I feel that the second half of your idea is a bit overkill. Perhaps instead of painting a bullseye on the guy, it's globally announced that they're a hopper, and the server marks him for suppression (similar to how it does now if you hop too much in a short time, by knocking you unconscious), and when they get marked multiple times (5 times in a set time period), it reports the master server, temporarily banning them or somesuch.

Something persistent is not a good idea. Permadeath is called permadeath for a reason.

You didn't even read the OP, did you Moignus?

If you know it's alpha, then this thread shouldn't exist.

I support an official Singleplayer, not the retarded version Kronsky released WITHOUT PERMISSION. Really, anyone who supports that version doesn't deserve to play DayZ at all. But yes, I would especially support the single player if it was just a little backstory. Maybe not set in Chernarus, maybe another, smaller map, where the zombie outbreak (or experiment, or whatever this mysterious story entails) has just begun.

I do agree though, I've stated that in both my posts. I want both sets of weapons to exist, but there's a lot of people out there who will simply nitpick and say that there's no point in both existing >.> EDIT: Like one of my 'friends' I met in-game. To be honest, I'm starting to distrust this 'friend'; he keeps wanting to rush to certain areas when I'm fine just cruising along. I might just tell him to leave me be or get shot.

Keep in mind, this list is just one I've compiled from my own research and opinion. It's not going to suit everyone, and it certainly doesn't mean it's the best list out there, but currently it's the only list in the DayZ forums. Some of the counterparts would likely have better counterparts, but at the same time, I was trying to work these weapons towards not only being similar, but also using weapons that aren't commonly seen, to add a bit of extra flavour. The M4 was hard, because when it comes down to it, there aren't really any excellent counterparts. Well, in my opinion, at least. Also, in my main post I stated that I would much prefer to just reduce the spawnrate of NATO weaponry while still having them exist:

Because a lot of you people seem to like this idea, I've posted a list of possible counterparts. Check it out: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=26078 Not to steal the idea, or anything, I have merely seen the idea a lot and decided to do the research no-one else was willing to do.
