Simply Awesome..

Are you sure you don't have these lists mixed up a bit, the Makarov was standard issue in the CDF [albeit the one we have is in 380auto], the amphibian is a rather common pistol worldwide and the AK101 I'm on the fence about, I mean with the whole falling out with Russia maybe Chernarus switched from AK74s to the same system with ammo that murika could supply, I dunno. Also out of interest, why do you include the 1911 and M4 in the top list?

which of late, I have found to happen if you keep the dot stuck to the targets head

That's a bit too tough imo, but at present it's far too easy to survive.

This is bang on, I'd draw the line before M107s and the like, but AUGs, G3A3s, M16s etc are fine provided they are really, really rare imo. Though I would like to see wayyyy more variety in civilian weaponry before they add more mil weapons.

That image in the OP was used waaayyyyyyy back on one of the first devblog posts on the forum, the soda at the bottom 'zluta' something, I've never seen one of those before. Nevermind, I never noticed when they removed them is all.

That 60 sec wait time only happens if you leave a server and rapidly try to rejoin a different one, ie serverhop.

The problem with a Kamenka spawn as many point out is that it's too close to the military belt, It would be fine if that forest base just north of kamenka wasn't there, and IMO maybe it shouldn't, that base needs a redesign badly, it looks like something out of a user made mod just made by plonking buildings down in the forest using an editor.

Starting sentences with 'And', are you sure you use grammar? I agree with the point you're making, all of the new settlements have made the map far too small.

It's not so much a dislike of military loot, it's more that we want it to be very rare, unlike in the mod when you could spawn, run to balota and leave with an M4 or DMR or something. High rarity does a number of good things, first and foremost, it makes the weapon a treasured piece of gear, it gives the survivor a reason to stay alive and it gives those who don't already have one soemthing to do other than run a loop between zeleno and NWAF looking for PVP. It also bumps up realism and immersion, more people running about with civilian weaponry makes it feel more post apocalyptic, though something must be done, in my opinion to balance out civ weaponry and make for example a sporter seem appealing depite the survivor having a choice between a Mosin, sporter or SKS.

I never encounter players at NWAF, It seems everyone is scared of the place, a lot of people just loot the south western barracks and bug out, Dichina Military base and the forest base north of Kamenka are the riskiest spots from my personal experience if you're looking for geared up high stakes PvP. Otherwise just sit at the top of the lift in the Tower in Novo with an SKS and wait for bambis to come up.

Inclined to agree with the 1st personers until a new 3rd person camera is implemented that doesn't let players use 3rd person to peak over walls/around corners. But as you say, pointless, the 1st person problem is already solved, we [they] have our [their] own servers.

Agreed, Though that brings another issue to the fore, item sizing is done in 2d, like you're going to struggle to fit a can of spaghetti into a tight jean pocket

Because in a zombie apocalypse, there's definately going to be a team of blokes slaving away at great peril to keep the phone networks up.

Incredibly unlikely that anything you'd fit into a jean pocket will stop a rifle bullet, especially at DayZ ranges ie. 10 meters.

Never really liked the concept of fortified bases in the mod, The map as it is is too small for hiding vehicles and there isn't enough empty wilderness left imo.

If it makes you feel any better I killed a guy like that earlier, I tailed him around Svetlo and watched him ask a bambi to put his hands up [he did] before just shooting him, the second he fired I dropped him, felt good.

Arma 2 campaign was like 2008 or something, So I'm going to go ahead and say Dayz is like 2012ish

I try not to KoS in low danger areas, like the spawn coast, but most players whether fresh spawn armed with fists or a bloke who found a Mosin often have a go at killing me. Military bases or anywhere in the west for that matter I'll KoS everytime if I'm spotted or if the player poses a real threat, If I see some lad running across a field away from me or some such I usually don't bother.

You should be able to wear multiple layers, like you wouldn't take off your t shirt to put on a down jacket, you'd put it on over the tshirt

I wasn't having a go at you or anything, Could they not at least sticky your thread, it's a pain in the arse to scroll through looking for etc, more so than trawling through a list of 'sugesgtun 5 added armured vooheecils' threads xD

I was just about to make a post suggesting those, the UVF made a good few during the troubles, designed to use mags from the Sterling SMG mostly. As for another suggestion, http://www.nam.ac.uk/online-collection/detail.php?acc=1999-02-51-1 THIS, it has a tendency to cause rapid finger loss however.

Post them on your thread, where they won't be seen by as many people, righhht, we need a weapon suggestion subforum
