Looked at the specs?...if they want to get that working they have to strip the game to the bone to get decent fps. That's how they get the games working fluid, they look good at first glance but compared to a PC port ( if they actually manage not to screw up the port ) it's nothing. Just like NVidia tried to trick players be telling this and that patch increases your fps in all games but in reality they used the backdoor and blurred out some details to get more fps. They didn't really make the GPUs work better they just "optimized" the textures. If the consoles had anything close to PC quality i would have bought both major consoles already, but they don't and over half of their games doesn't appeal to me either. And yet again we have a monopole where you can only use Sony peripherals on the new PS and of course we have the same on the XBox...I like the freedom that comes with the PC.

It should be either working or blowing up in your face...too many parameters to save... The game is beeing developed and tested atm, it's not even out yet so nobody can complain about anything...if you are comlpaing about something it can only be about the mod. And i wonder if they still plan on updating the mod when the SA is around the corner. What would the acheive other than people not buying the SA when they can have the mod on the same development level for free? I wouldn't even wonder if they forbid the use and further development of the content, it's their idea and property anyway.

Should have written that i meant it ironcly...

Unique is an overused world. No matter how rare you make them even the rarest spawn will be flooding the servers in no time. Stuff like that should be taken out of the server loot table and regulated another way like spawned through the hive let's say 10x .50 rifles for every 10000 servers restarting ( limited to once a day to stop abuse depending on how they actually managed to stabilize the persistent system maybe even a week ) on hive level just as an example because the "DayZ world" is a network of worlds. You can't flood 999 servers with .50s and wreak havoc on the 1000th where none was spawned that way.

Wait for the SA, pay for the SA then you can make you demands...this is just a mod. I hope they just leave this mod and concentrate their effort on the games that pay off for them.

I thought surviving was the goal or did i play the game with the wrong expectations? I hope the SA changes the attitude of most players considering unneccesary combat. That's indeed a problem, i hope they addressed the issue considering the "ease of use" of certain items. It is ridiculously easy to snipe in the game, with a bit of wind even shooting with assault rifles beyond 200m would become a challenge. Afaik crosshairs will not be in the SA anyway so the cqb sniper problem would be solved.

I always think that way even if i'm part of a group, don't need that shit because it's not handy for me ( i try to think this is actually life and not a game ). I always let the others who want to use it carry it...and die because they always end up beeing too close to use the advantage of that weapon system.

You didn't get the ( sad ) joke with the Armalite... :( I bet it would work but you would have to clean the weapon 10 times more since axle grease will burn and cause your weapon to foul up even more. Some people use certain types of motor oil to lube their Armalites. AKs just need some saliva... ;)

Spacemarine...

Why Humvees why no BRDMs? It's Chernarus for god's sake.

Since ArmA works with drag to calculate vehicle speed on different surfaces and not grip to calculate if a vehicle can move forward on a slope ( everyone should know what i mean since if you drive up a slope or hill the engine almost dies instead of running a lower gear losing traction and revving higher ) I do hope they can achieve that. Would be great since it's pretty difficult to run with sneakers on wet grass compared to military boots.

AK doesn't need lubing as well as the Armalite doesn't need cleaning...

Well it isn't really a true sniper rifle but more a marksman rifle that is used to engage enemies beyond the effective range of the AK up to 800m effectively so beeing inferior to a pimped purpose built sniper rifle should be ok. As a matter of fact Iraq produceds/produced their variant based on the RPK, quasi a semiauto RPK with a long slim barrel and a PSO style scope called the Tabuk. But it uses 7,62x39 ammo so in case the userruns out of ammo his teammates can give him their magazines. The rifle can also be used to engage targets up to 800m effectively but it's quite weaker compared to the SVD round. I wonder if that had a better chance ending up in Chernarus than a DMR. I sure hope so because that would make the most sense considering he uses the same island and it's the same company. Even if he decides to make his own story it wouldn't make any sense if he floods the game with western weapons and vehicles due to the background ( former soviet state in the middle of nowhere, no internet, no toilets no running water with people so poor they can afford the most expensive military grade weapons and expensive vehicles from capitalists etc. ) because that's when i will not buy the game or at the very least pause until i find a server with a realistic geographic loot setup. Let me use a word considering military export weapons "ITAR"

That was a well thought out post although i disagree with the OA, BAF and PMC content beeing in the game because as i said they were in Takistan ( self explaining since they all have "tan" gear which is haute couture for the desert warrior ).

Could also be the server with low fps that drags down everyone...from my experience a player with a faster rig notices every single performance hit better that one with a lower spec rig. Have you tried a couple of servers just to be sure? If that's not the case then it can be the beta patch. I noticed my rig having lower fps, too since i updated the beta patch ( can't remember from which point on though ) primarily in Cherno and Elektro. After tweaking a bit i got up to 10fps more so i barely scratch 30+ in the "big towns". But it still feels as if i had 20fps. Or your settings are just way too high for your rig. Just for comparison, i don't know how you cpu compares to an i7, just some basic info on what system i get the 30+ fps: i7 2600K 3,4GHz - 8 GB RAM - GTX 580 - Win 7 64 BIt

ArmA history wise the Brits were only in Takistan...

Why lesser spawn rate? The AS 50 is a western weapon and has never been there if you read the "virtual" history of the country, no brits have been there. If anything you should find 100 soviet weapon for every western weapon. If it were Sahrani the "equal amount of western weapon and eastern weapon loot probability" would be valid since the south Sahrani forces used western weapons and the communist north had... take a guess.

With 3P off you don't have to bother them seeing you at all since they can't see past their feet and most players don't look around when they land. I was right in front of someone who tried to land and shot him on his two attempts to do so and the second heli they didn't even see my vehicle although i had a huge could of dust behind me and again... IN FRONT OF THEM.

The KSVK would be the most fitting weapon than any M107 or AS50s. I doubt people will see that you can't compare The Walking Dead with Chernarus DayZ.

Do you know how "messy" a black powder weapon is? You gun will be scrap metal by noon if you fire the weapon in the morning and do not clean it properly. I doubt you will find more of the goods you need to produce a black powder load than you will find manufactured ammunition nowadays. That stuff is used where they are still in the stone age and even rarer by collectors.

I shot down 2 helis with an AKM and a SVD a few days ago aiming at the weak spot ( guess where )...you don't need a .50 to take one down. In DayZ they don't even have armament that's worth beeing afraid of if you are talking about vanilla and SA.

I would expect a variety of AKs + your basic hunting rifle and shotgun variants. Primarily Shotguns because of the versatility even before handguns. Just think about the people not having a lot of money to buy more than one weapon and the weapon is a tool that has to defend your home and bring food on the table.

Have you realized that almost every game that is multiplatform has always had a shitty PC port? So a big no from me.

The "aiming views" are like that because unlike in Red Orchestra the scopes are not modelled with PiP so it's an overlay that has nothing to do with the gun. You can see that when using a GPS and use a scope, the GPS disappears. Same applies to tank sights etc.
