It's to make things harder Yes, this game is trying to be realistic But it's also trying to slap you in the balls with a wet towel while calling you a bitch

There IS a silenced Sniper Rifle that people can hack in, but no LEGIT silenced sniper rifle in DayZ Found one of those silenced snipers a week or so ago, on a character that was just standing there along with a silenced PDW, Rangefinder and NVG. Grabbed the sniper rifle and played around with it for a couple of minutes popping zombies, before I dumped it in the woods along with the rest of the gear. Wasn't worth the risk, for sure Here's the pic of the sniper rifle/silenced PDW that the guy had.

Sounds fun to me Though it'll turn in to people camping around the area, and just sniping people who go up to it If it's a dynamic crash, as in it happens right then and there, than there needs to be a LOT more zombies near the crash. I'm talking in the range of 50 or more. I mean if you are able to hear it, than that zombie with the super-hearing at the closest town heard it too and is now running to that crash.

For anyone who attempts to argue that this is a "realistic situation" with barbed wire blocking off nearly EVERY building, you are full of brown fecal matter. This is just getting absurd. Almost every server I go on, barbed wire is blocking off all buildings in major towns. With toolboxes practically as rare as GPS's, it becomes impossible to deconstruct them. Am I the only one thinking barbed wire fences should require a toolbox, or other tool before being able to be setup? Or just plain removed all-together, or unable to be deployed in cities? It also seems that removing barbed wire, doesn't remove them permanently. I went through the countryside on the US #150 server last night, going to each major city and taking down pesky barbed wire fences Only to log in today, and find them all EXACTLY in the same places as before, which makes it appear that they respawned on server restart or something. This isn't a dealbreaker. This isn't some, "OHMIGOD, FIX THIS OR I'M QUITTING". It's just a major annoyance.

Correct Using the PDW as an example: Loading G17 ammo would make 17 bullets in the mag Loading M9 ammo would make 15 bullets in the mag Loading MP5 ammo would make the full 30 bullets in the mag And of course, loading actual PDW ammo will yield 30 rounds. Ammo is interchangeable as long as it's the same type. The PDW and MP5 both use 9x19 ammo, so you can use any type in it. However, for example, even though the M9 uses 9x19, the M9 cannot use any other type of ammo that exceeds it's max magazine capacity.

Yes. I'm sure that it's a bug that will be patched out later But any gun, even if it isn't silenced, if you load silenced rounds into it will become silenced. Silenced M9 rounds can be loaded into the PDW/G17/M9, silenced MP5 mags can be loaded into the MP5 and PDW (lol), and of course, the silenced STANAG rounds into the M4/M16 Honestly, I love how the PDW can take MP5 mags

There should be levels of chat. Like, direct communication should be for talking to people in the immediate area. Like the range of how big a large room usually is. Than there should be a form of chat where you give a "shout out" to the local area that you are in. This range of this chat would be like the size of Cherno. I agree that there shouldn't be a global chat where you can communicate with others on the other side of the map. But realistic or not, simulator or not, this is still a video game. And the community is still a big part of any video game. Yes it adds to the tension of being alone, but I can get bored really fast without talking to anyone. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like joining guilds, or groups, and just likes to go solo. But I still like to help out others by answering questions and stuff. I LOVED just chatting with people as I roamed the area searching for loot. Answering questions from noobs, talking about forming groups, etc. Sure, it's not realistic, but it was FUN.

No, the most embarrassing way to die is to dive head first into a bush, and suddenly get flung back 30 feet, unconscious, bleeding, with broken bones. I bled out before I could even wake up.

Yeah, I'm finding like NO loot now Even at the NW Airfield. I spawned in Vybor, and checked all the houses/school/store, and no loot. After which, I started heading up to the NW Airfield. Stopped off at 2 barns along the way, both of which had zombies, but only found some firewood and a crossbow. Reached the NW Airfield and all the hangars were empty, barracks had a couple of chemlights and tin cans, firehouse was empty, control tower was empty... and that's as far as I got before giving up.

Did you just join the game today or something They're like that way for good and won't be changed. You can thank Arma II's buggy AI for that.

Yeah, I had this happen yesterday Went up to Stary, and suddenly got a full mag from an M4 in my face. I was at -30,000 blood, but was still runnin' around. Even popped off a few founds at where I thought the guy was. Managed to get to get to cover, trying to find the dude who shot at me, only to take one round to the head, and drop.

Tripped over a washing machine. Sent my character flying like... 50+ feet into a stone wall. Broke my leg, and lost about 7000 blood total. This was over by the barracks in the NW Airfield...
