If you haven't noticed a lot of weapons have brass deflectors to not make this happen...if it's only the animation that has to be redone for bolt action rifles it would be less of a problem but you would also have to make them hold the weapon in the right way. I'd rather have them change how players move because it looks more like they have a pain in the lower back.

That is one risk but it's small compared to the unfairness the current system presents us atm. The private server system presents more advantages than the public hive like combat logging and ghosting not possible, sure a player can still log during a fight but because that player is bound to the server with his character you can easly investigate that person and warn him/her not to do that again, no hopper can jump into the same building as you of course a player who logged out in a building before can suddenly appear but that is less likely to happen because a player playing on one server is better off logging out in a safe place. The private servers have to be run by either a provider or a community ( which is more likely ) and kept running with donations, that's the only obstacle in this matter. Then you can let all the public hive player whine about not beeing able to find loot because of the hoppers because you on the other hand have a closed environment. And you can set rules that are ignored my the majority because it's YOLO it's a game stfu n00b when you remind them of unwritten rules of gaming. And you can make every player join one voice program ( with something like ACRE ) if he wants to play making the telephatic planning impossible.

You don't usually pack a backpack just to use as a bipod right? Any rest like a wall or the hood of a car or a branch of a tree are as good as any kind of rest. Imo it's just a matter of what's available atm and if you really have time to deploy the bipod. Edit: Googled a bit and found out that when the M40 was used they couldn't fit a bipod due to the missing sling swivle so the shooters used a backpack to rest their weapons. Seems like when bipods became more popular and more available a lot more shooters were using them.

Don't you run faster with a knife in your hand or did i just confuse the games??? tbh how would a rifle in your hand make you faster? If anything it should make you slower especially on uneven ground where most of the players move since you lose a lot of balancing help from your arms. And holding a 3-5kg firearm for a long period isn't really good on the muscles that's why they invented the sling.

I don't think any kind of rest would give less accuracy than a bipod since it's the user who puts the most motion into his platform unless you are using a buddy as a gunrest. But unlike IRL where the guy tends to move and twitch the ingame counterpart is rock solid so that's the least of your problems. And here i thought you could take a small backpack and collect water or use it as a toilet and leave it for another player to find....but here we go again looking for an easier way to shoot other players...

You don't seem to like any 3rd party program huh?? ;)

A lot of people say they hike with 25kg packs no problems..the problem with it is if they were hiking DayZ style ( cross country and up and down steep hills and staircases ) with more than 50kg ( because a second rifle, a pack with food and drink cans, boxes of ammo and all the stuff your character can carry weigh a lot ) sprinting all the time they won't even last 10 minutes because there is no need to take a break, will all that on you a 5 minute break will not help actually taking a break might make the rest of the trip even worse that's why you are not supposed to take off your boots since your feet will swell. And even if you have a comfortable belt system that spreads the weight on shoulders and hips it will not be very comfortable after a while.

There is this panic sound when you are close to death and beeing attacked by zeds...could be a useful sound when someone is cornered and combat logs.

No thank you....? Is all you guys think of military gear military gear? Why not change the game...like playing Wasteland or so?

Like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xRrUVVKigk ?? Perfectly fits a 30 seconds timeout ... :lol:

I'd also like another drawback...it's called fatigue.

I meant to say they do not carry a pistol, a rifle, a machine gun and a sniper rifle around with 10 boxes of ammo.

KS-23 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KS-23 or Saiga 12 would be great, don't need to much western stuff.

US soldiers usually carry one rifle in a war situation...

And that's what he keeps doing. In the year before the alpha they already said they fixed the zombies but where was the result? I think he has a contract with Magpul otherwise he wouldn't have brought the M4 with alternative Magpul parts and made those the best to get. I'm pretty sure he already lost his objectives.

Wrong country...? It would be rather something like this if you were a russian tuner.

Noob goes KoSing while the pro goes the survival route. Don't just run around aimlessly, keep and eye and both ears on your surrounding, think about the consequences of you actions, like is it really wise to run over the meadow to get to that house faster or would it be better to circle around and use the woods as concealment, learn to read zombie behaviour...are the zeds running around or are they roaming, avoid major towns although the loot there might be better ( which it mostly isn't since it's already looted by tons of people because everybody goes there first ) read some tips and watch videos on DayZ survival and not just "i killed that bambi i'm so pwnerz" clips.

Don't think so. Unless you have a very thick leather jacket it won't dampen the shock, at least that's how it is IRL. If they wanted to make it as real as possible in the game they have to take that into account. Even if you wear a helmet if you are hit hard enough it will have the potential to knock you out if the not absorbed power is strong enough. A lot of players think just because you have "armor" between you and the hitting item ( bullet, bat, hatchet ) you can just walk away unfazed.

I can't remember roadsigns beeing in english in my country...yet again...we have roman letters and they are readable to most people, funny thing though that a person who knows cyrillic knows the roman alphabet...kind of embarrassing don't you think? But in the time of the internet and abundance of information is it that difficult to google "russian alphabet in roman letters" to know how to pronounce the names? Are you people that lazy because you are as Guppy said?

There shouldn't be too many or no variations for two difficulty settings imo. You either play noob mode with everything on so even the most inept player can enjoy the game or normal mode with less help or hardcore with no help, every mode with it's own database of course. Tbh i wonder why players want to get rid of the crosshairs but want to keep the UI or get rid of the UI because it's not realistic to have info in your face but want the crosshairs to stay.

It just occured to me that the Walking Dead zombies are also not really undead. While they are still alive after losing half of their body they still die of starvation. They are reanimated by the virus that caused the outbreak. As long as the basic body functions are still working they are more or less "alive". I'm pretty sure if you shoot them in the heart they will also die but maybe thery just need a lot longer than the normal human because their metabolism is so incredibly slow, it's just not portrayed in the series but they did tell that the zeds can be starved to death if you keep them on a "strict" no food at all diet long enough.

Well at least you had a reason to visit an outhouse and give those a reason to exist.

So far nothing really is challening in Epoch you could literally find everything you need in minutes but it also depends on how the admin set up the loot tables. I had shove up your you know where vanilla servers and i also had more "hardcore" vanilla, origins, sahrani and epoch servers. But the longer you play the more boring it gets when you have everything. I'm playing Epoch Napf on a russian hardcore ( no 1st p ) server atm and i must say from what i have gathered so far the admin seemed to know what he was doing. I didn't find any armalite yet...not even an AK because i haven't been to a military base yet but at least i found a ton of makarovs, a winchester and a M870 and was lucky enough to find a tent. There was your occasional M1911 and revolver lying around to add some flavor there was even one M9SD!!! even the most basic things were harder to find. I needed a while to get most of the toolbelt items where on the normal servers i had everything after a run through Cherno or Elektro. So far the Origins build system interests me quite a lot but it makes no sense trying to build a house all alone because i had a hard time finding the stuff and hauling it around and it wasn't even 10% of what i needed for the first stage and the most important tools were still missing.

I think you are talking about Epoch? Kill industrial zombies ( afaik the brown suited ones ). If you already killed some you seem to have the same problem as one of the guys i played with...he was frantically searching for one while me and another player on the other hand weren't even looking and got about 3-4 each in like 10 minutes. The computer can smell it.
