Do you speak from experience? How many zombie apocalypses have happened where you can say what people will and will not do?

I've seen some fucked up things in my life and those creepy fucking M&Ms is now one of them.

Yeah, his interpretation of the law is ridiculous. I haven't heard of any Americans playing dayz being arrested for possession of an unregistered automatic weapon by the ATF because their player picked up an AKM. As far as options go, you can eat other players. You can eat another player yet big media has not take note of dayz as much as they did when GTA 3 was released in the early 2000s.

Yes because those same players aren't going to act immature without them? "Oh man I got to behave until they make a mask that allows me to act like a jackass". Get real.

Oh a game where you could hang people and might hang a black person? Man that sure sounds racist. Maybe there should be a script where if you try to shoot a person using a black person skin a window prompts up "CANNOT FIRE: CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE". That way no one might interpret dayz as racist. Also Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are considered jokes and opportunists in world opinion. And your law does not apply to video game worlds.

Reenactors play both sides of a major conflict. This hobby is even popular in Russia and other parts of East Europe. These photos are from Ekaterinburg, Russia. http://englishrussia.com/2009/01/23/playing-world-war-2/ Makes me pretty envious seeing all those cool replica vehicles and vintage weapons.

Yeah, the M50s are pretty comfy and offer a pretty unrestricted view. They would make a great addition to the game.

I think he means other types such as:

Well, it seems like it with the presence of food stands and such. http://www.dayztv.com/video/dayz-showcase-new-updated-skalisty-island-in-0-53-experimental/

It is very easy to do so.

Yeah who would do something crazy with an in game item, like use it.

I agree. This is the information age. We should accommodate our Greek friend.

With the upcoming new castle and medieval renascence fair location, I thought I've give this reenactment gear thread a bump.

Well, there you have it. It can and IS happening.

According to the wiki, humvees are being considered. I imagine soft skin light military vehicles in it's tier are a possibility especially seeing how vehicle amount was discussed as a server option.

That thing is about as armored as the AR-15 is a military assault rifle. What about that thing says armored? The Crew has zero protection from gunfire or explosions. Think before you type.

The cry babies need to remember the devs already mentioned the idea of adding PKMs to vehicles to make technicals. If telling the OP that this game isn't "X" is the only thing you have to contribute, your opinion isn't welcome. Moving on. These things were coffins on wheels in ArmA 2. Players were way too over exposed especially from elevated positions. If it were to make an appearance in DayZ it should start out without weapons mounted on the hard points as it's former users would have taken them with them. Limey presence is confirmed with the DPM boonies and UK combat webbing so I don't see this as too far fetched. Seeing how someone mag dumping at it's general direction can slot the gunner and drivers easy makes for fair balance. Not to mention that thing is total IED bait.

Its a simple modder's tactic to adjust the hue on an existing skin. Here is the Woodland MARPAT uniforms for arma 2 adjusted to Desert pattern: In this case the only thing original in this mod is the colors, not a new skin. Its a old and simple trick to alter existing files. The same can be done for colors, such as tan in DayZ. Although new patterns would take new skins of course.

That isn't true at all. Other colors, such as tan only need a hue adjustment on an existing pattern, not new textures. This entry tier milk shape programing.

So the German military uses this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennek A pretty interesting vesicle. Armored, but could appear with out offensive weapons and like most military vehicles, a bitch to maintain and keep fueled up while trading off cargo space and passengers. Add something to the game that isn't an MRAP or Humvee while giving DayZ a more interesting taste. But why the Fennek? Because the DayZ Devs could collaborate with the ArmA team and use the port/mod the existing ArmA 3 model for the "Stryder": This technique allows for a new vehicle, while taking less time compared to building a whole new object with unique values while freeing the team up for other endeavors.

I've seen AF honor guards with select fire M14s. It seems the Air Force never demilled their parade rifles. My First experience with an EBR was a select fire version. EBRs would be easy models to port as they can use existing values from ArmA 3's Mk 18 ABR rifle and edit it some to use existing items like the LRS and M68 and future items like the upcoming PEQ-2. Variety is good and it would be logical Super Huey wreck loot.

While I agree that the brightness and gamma trick is cheating, I believe it remains because it helps visually impaired players. It would be a shame if disabled players suffer due to meta gamers.

Thats too bad you think so. Agree to disagree and move on then.

The heli crashes should have dead crew and passengers littered near them that have gear that needs to be stripped from them. Something like this: This is from the Soviet Afghan war movie, the Beast of War.

1. The Fennek isn't an APC. It's classified as an Armored Scout, like a Humvee or MATV. That could be done with any vehicle as "bambi" is slang for fresh players. How do flashlights and jeans fight off a fully loaded V3S with a troop bed of cowadoody players? I agree. The common sense to to break off and hide when you hear a vehicle and go somewhere it can't follow you like thick forests or urban terrain. While where at it, lets add some reps from the brady campaign to the dev team and remove anything that could be used to kill fresh spawns like guns and pointy things, because that is something that happens and has since day one of standalone. The thing is an Armored car actually counters this, as the "spends a game session camping somewhere with a sniper rifle" players that have been around since the mod can be ignored safely, while not being offensive in nature. want a game where no defenseless player is in danger of geared players gunning down,torturing,killing them from forced exsanguination or eating them? Don't play Dayz.
