Unlike in other shooters the ammo says what the weapon has to do and not the other way around unless they switched to another type of ammo classification which would be stupid since the ammo class system worked well fora decade and you don't only have to configure weapons beeing able to use this and that ammo type/caliber and just give the weapon it's accuracy value. That's what made ArmA 2 so special, the ammo itself did the same so if you had an AK47 and AKM which use 7.62x39mm the performance is pretty much the same, if you had a M4 and a M16 the difference would be a slightly better accuracy and power at longer ranges on the M16 due to the longer barrel ( correct me if i'm wrong ). In BF/CoD games you have fantasy values all over the place where it shouldn't matter due to the distances you shoot in f.e. CoD. A 5.45x39 out of a AK74U shouldn't make that less damage or the accuracy wouldn't have such a negative impact in those shooting distances compared to a AKS-74 imo or shotguns only useful at 5m due to the larger damage potential and spread. F*ck balancing and i hope they don't go that way and warp the reality of the engine. The shotgun in ArmA was a bit shiity on the slug side and a bit OP on the pellet side imo. Slugs had ignorable damage up to 50m and of course it's hard to hit targets with a slow flying slug beyond that distance but pellets were still quite effective beyond 100m which was quite weird. I had occasions where i kileld players with pellets just by spraying the area around them as if i was using a mortar/old cannon or RPG with OG-7 grenades.

And which how many survival features did they confirm?.. :huh:

Exactly..if you gave players the chance to gather every bit of explosive or exploding things be it a grenade, mine or a gastank towns like Cherno or Elektro would be gone in the first five minutes of server restart. If they added this then they should also add the contermeasure like a jammer because i'd put a really big one on green mountain and attach every truck i'd find as a generator to keep it running 24/7 on full power.

Actually having some kind of IED for whatever reason is breaking game immersion because you are not fighting an army as an insurgent and i don't think someone in an apocalypse would actually plant a device next to a road, door or wherever just to kill someone because he should obviously be looking for food, water and shelter with all the zeds roaming around. Edit: The game doesn't seem to be hard enough yet if they still have time to make battleplans for the next match with another clan in Cherno instead of planning on how to fill their stomachs...

Those who survived DayZ only to die from a KoSer sitting a mile away are immune to the virus...it seems that animals aren't affected by it. Imo the only way crows or birds in general would attack humans and other animals is when they breed and you are close to their nest. And i'm pretty sure The Birds is as exaggerated as Jaws...

I'm pretty sure consuming 1 days worth of saltwater instead of freshwater will cause you enough trouble since all you do is accelerate dehydration. Suggestions beeing able to create "drinkable" water are already made. It should not be that hard to stay hydrated in an apocalypse as long as you have a water source, fire and some sort of fireproof container to boil it, guess what people without running water or bad or non existent water processing facilities do nowadays?

I'm sure they will have difficulties ( and a lot of work ) performing "multianimations". Reloading while walking was only possible from ArmA 1 if i remember right.

Have fun walking then...

I'd like more survival content before getting more weapons and vehicles...it's already like every other shooter just in a bigger format.

I don't think the system is that sophisticated that it can tell where you are hit ( yet ). Afaik they were planning hit detection only on the toon itself..

Who on earth would disassemble a fishing rod and hide them all around the place IRL ( even after an apocalypse )? I can imagine someone taking of the tires of a car for future use or because he needs them but taking the car apart if you don't need to is trolling or in a RL scenario NOBODY WOULD DO IT because it takes time and energy to accomplish. A makeshift fishing rod is better than nothing or even the fishing line with any kind of stick/pole to pull on is good for getting food.

That's the whole point of zombies, they are dangerous in masses...do you expect to win in a brawl when you have more 2+ opponents ( unless you are Bruce Lee )?

Now they just have to get rid of those "rare Magpul M4" that are still in circulation...or else this new feature is meaningless.

Peeeeeeeeenis!!! I don't know why or how spraying graffiti adds to immersion..there is already enough shit on the walls i wonder if that one would stand out when nobody is looking anyway...

Depends on the folding stock because you can just attach a folding stock to a standard AKM because of the hinges...

Better than groups of survivors swinging M240s, M249s or something similar as primaries right? Isn't supposed to be a military game anyway...we have ArmA for that.

You should tell that to you-know-who because you-know-who should know the in and outs of a certain engine because it's basically the same since over a decade...

Oh wow did they finally learn something? Everytime someone gets shot in DayZ because of some stupid players who interact with lmb facing their friends without lowering their weapons...not that it stops them from rebinding lmb again and repeat the mistake :lol:

You can adjust all you want pitch black means pitch black. There should be no problems with moonlit nights.

NOOOO!! My PC can't handle it!!!

LOL sounds like "Epoch, full gear at spawn, tank, heli and plane at starting base sponsored by admin for 10€ a month" to me...minus the subscription fee... Nah.. :emptycan: :emptycan: >:( <_<

You can go KO from one or even from ten punches...there is enough evidence of people going down from x amount of hits to the head and it doesn't even have to be a full power punch. I was hit by the arm of a shaker i used to compress earth with years ago, i put it in the upwards position can't remember what i wanted to do then i bow down and get smacked by the control arm right above the temple lucky it didn't hit lower...all i did was make a step backwards and say "WTF...", i didn't go KO and that had more energy than a regular punch and i just got a major headache and i'm not an Arnold Governator type of guy...

The KoSers have to find the other players first, they are all in the same boat in this case. Tehy die they wait, too. Maybe that will change their typical CoD playstyle to a more "survivalish" one. Harsch methods are needed for people who fail to grasp that you can't always use the same method for a different game even when you have the same tools...and weapons especially rifles are way too easy to find.

Maybe they got the spawnrate "rare" right this time.

LOL nice, i hope this draws enough KoSers from the "survivor" servers so we can play DayZ as a survival game now. ;) :P
