Yes, it is a feature of Arma 2 to use scripts. But if you want to go use them you should actually play Arma 2. But using these scripts is certainly not how Dayz is intended to be played. The only reason it is so easy to use them is because that is one of the disadvantages of using the Arma 2 engine.

Was it? Sorry I might have made a typo and I don't have Dayz commander so I cant look at the recent servers I have been on.(I guess its time to get that) It was one of those but if you were on 841 and it happened then that is probably it.

IGN: Lord British [cdc] And Les Stroud [cdc] (Don't know if this guy is cheating but has same clan tag and was on at the same time and then left at the same time.) I was on the hill by Electro looking for the sniper that was shooting at me earlier and this random new spawn (Lord British) runs up to me saying watch out there is a sniper. I noticed he had a clan tag so i began to follow him hoping to find a camp or something. I lose sight of him behind some trees for a couple minutes and was trying to stay hidden. After a minute he reappeared holding some sort of rare gun (I think it was the MK 48 or some other LMG) no way he had it in his backpack because he only had a coyote patrol pack. He then kills me and I run to my corpse get everything i had back and then log out for a couple minutes. As i am logging in it appears as though everyone on the server suddenly died followed by both players with the CDC clan tag immediately leaving the game.

I agree with everything in this thread pretty much. Earlier today I was contemplating doing a life where my character would only use the crossbow and hatchet, so I decided to do some research on the crossbow since I have not used one for a while. I noticed that it actually does less damage than a zombies total health (The crossbow does 3555 and a zeds total health is 4400). Now I remember a while back when I was just new to this mod I picked up a crossbow at some point along the way and I was getting one hit kills on zombies and it seemed perfectly balanced as it was back then. I understand that a lot of people say that it is realistic like this and that actual crossbows wouldn't do as much damage in real life but this is one of those times where the difference between fun/balance and realism are on totally different sides of the spectrum. I think that the crossbows should at least be able to one hit a zombie 4500 damage at least otherwise it is just a complete waste of space.
