No use with noob/normal/veteran mode since the "building" named camo tent will be visible as a white spot on the edge of everyones screen...

They are infected, not zombies just to clarify things. Aren't shotguns one of the most common weapons in the world? I heard they are quite popular for hunting and home defense ( with double barrel and pump action beeing a great number of the lot ).

Logic doesn't apply to some people...

Commiting suicide should make you ppl have to buy the game every single time :P

At least there would be warehouses of AKs...i doubt there will be any Armalites or even a prototype weapon though.

"Why would you give up your advantage? Are you stupid?" is what some people would say... Imo 3P should be on the first two difficulty levels and from veteran above it should be 1P. And the configs should not be changable... Let's see how they fix that in the SA. Afaik a lot less options are already available compared to vanilla.

As long as buckshot can travel 200m without great disadvantages it should be left out, in case they balance the round a bit i say yes because in the end ammo will be scarce and only idiots shoot fullauto when every round should count. I'm saying 200m because that's the current state of the shotgun pellets in game.

In Chernarus where the toilets are outside the houses and running water is that running in the river don't expect any high tech garden stuff ;)

I want the ZF-1, you can toss the AA-12 in the trash.

I'm all for it as long as the weapon has a reasonable background how it came there. I can't remember any western weapon beeing fielded in the russian countries and the few beeing there due to the history of Chernarus are way too common compared to the "local weapons". 8/10 our group killed had western weapons, hell even our group had an overabundance of western weapons which is really weird imo. You can't tell me they left that many guns after they handed Chernarus to the russians and that was afaik about 10 years ago...

I wonder how you will take it off if you need tools and don't have any...not every weapon has a fancy rail system. Afaik the scopes from most bolt action rifles are tightly bolted to the gun and it takes a while to switch it and of course the missing "need to rezero the rifle" sucks...

Want to try out the ballistics calculators for smartphones?

Well not in the game...honestly spraying buckshot over 100m is even better than shooting slugs at 50m. But i'd rather get me a railgun and shoot cans of beans instead of beanbags... :P

You can spawn in a group when you meet and log out with your friends, when joining a server you should spawn alone and have to meet up ( IRL when something like that happens you normally don't live next to each other and if, you wouldn't always be at home during the day although you would know where you are, but let's just imagine you were on a trip somewhere on the world and stranded here to add some logic to why you spawned on the beach and are trying to find allies ), adding spawns on the east coast would be great instead of always having the south where most people run into Elektro or Cherno all the time, Berezino is also a good spot. That wouldn't be good since a lot of players would just run around and loot without danger. A group has both advantages and disadvantages...the more idiots the bigger the chance that you get killed because of them and other people who let the group drag them through their virtual life ( feeding, finding gear etc. ) you really have to find a team that thinks before they act and are more about survival of the group rather than for the individual kill count.

Restriction might be ok imo, i don't have a problem with that, If someone wants to change they can do it when their server goes down by applying a server switch form after which you are must play on that server for x days until you are allowed to switch again in order to limit server hopping or switch servers without their gear instantly as a second option. Having "outsiders" intrude the game where you have a "local population" meaning the player base is quite disturbing and unfair for the regular players imo.

I have a feeling everything in the shooting department in BF is slower than in ArmA. Seems to be a trick to make players feel they shoot over longer distances. You see it the most on rocket launchers, no vehicle could evade them like you do in BF ( even at close range a rocket can be evaded just by moving a bit ) because they are so slow. Bullets might be a bit faster but not faster than in ArmA, sniping distances in BF are also quite close compared to ArmA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic You should have read further down. Looks like he's from Yugoslavia.

And yet high ranking officers and their followeres are rumored to have been wearing them...and some guy high above blocking it like they did with the M16 when they tried to give it to the military...it failed the test even before it was actually tested by the military... i say rumored because you can never trust what they say TV. That stuff hasn't really been field tested yet, who knows maybe the shock behind that armor is greater because it doesn't use hard plates for protection. Soldiers who had plate carriers still had broken ribs due to the force. BTT You can't just grab any helmet put kevlar or a steel plate on it and say it's bullet proof. Helmets are designed for different purposes and that's what they are good at. In any case geting hit in the head with anything that is stopped by the helmet...apply enough force and you might end up with a severe headache or even worse. There is no jack of all trades device.

If they want stopping power they should get a bat.

Stop fighting! They are all made in china!!!!

Well it's not like you can stop them from tweaking the settings, but a preset unchangable setting would be nice. Let's just hope they manage to bring all the good stuff from ArmA 3 into DayZ ( movement and driving wise ) then nobody can complain anymore about getting motion sick.

Nice

Yeah because you have a lot of moisture and dust outside plus the darkness, if you use that in a cleanroom regardless of it beeing lit or not you will only see the dot.

Yeah about the "afterlife" i hope they do something about it like having a cooldown before beeing able to be "reborn". Or else this idea is useless.

Lasers don't end that abrupt and normally you can't see lasers unless there is dirt/smoke in the air, the miltary is testing an IR one.
