It's absurd that you cannot pistol whip a fool or smack someone in the face with a but stock / bayonet when they run at you.

Thanks for your enlightening input to the subject of this thread. Doom had better melee combat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI4w8ghvuSs

Not giraffes with poleaxes fighting each other in an ice rink.

So the Dev team has the source code to the game and yet we still have this psuedo scripted horribly clunky melee system? Why? This actually covers all close combat, with guns too. It's so awkward it hurts, the zombies are so broken it hurts - there's no reason why this needs to be this way, stop adding can openers and weapon polishing kits and make the fundamentals of the game work please? The mod had an excuse, standalone does not. It should not be 10x more awkward to do something in game than it is in real life - Least of all something as fundamental as melee. It feels like you're in a fat suit trying to larp with two broken arms, fighting derpy zombies who clip through the floor and zerg at you. That it's easier to axe someone than shoot them in the face close up with a sawn off shotgun also says a lot about the current state of close fighting ingame... Sort it out, we need to be going at it like this: If I can't yell like a demon and do a 5 minute haka style wardance in front of my enemies before slicing at them with impunity then this game needs to sort its life out.

This isn't world of warcraft. I don't want AS50's in the game -- but I also don't want stupid "balance" like this. "I don't want something in game that can actually happen in real life because HURR HERP DERP weapon tier system" - No.

I'd like the bipod back for the mosin, even if it's a non RIS one - I also don't think that the LRS should be removed. Make it so you have to use some tools on it if you want, but I like the choices open to you...

Amen, there's nothing wrong with multiple items having the same or a similar use...

Magazines should come in the gun 80% of the time. It's absurd that they do not. Add to this the models in game being small and blending with the textures and also clipping into the ground - It makes it silly hard to find magazines.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING THE SPOILER TO VIEW THE MAP We’ve spent months compiling probably the most comprehensive PvP map of Chernarus ever created. Hundreds of hours work and gameplay has went into this. Of course most of it is an approximation since we don’t run a server or have access to any concrete data, but what we’ve managed to establish we believe is about 95-98% accurate. What you’ll learn:- 1. The places on the map you’re likely to encounter other players. 2. The places on the map that harvest the most carebear tears.

We got government funding to help with the research...

Would be great, a military jacket + paint + 5 burlap sacks + rope = Ghillie Can add more green / brown / black paint to affect how the ghillie suit looks.

The only way you'd have a problem using a scope with just your hands is if you were Michael J Fox:

It is seriously stupid, people keep their pistols with a magazine in. Make the occasional one empty if you want. This is compounded by the fact that loot bugs into the floor / unreachable places and magazines are near impossible to spot.

No it's not, as I own a scope, it's perfectly fine to do. They're not that heavy, just hold to the correct eye relief and don't bounce around loads... To the thread, yes this would be a good addition.

"So you moan about moaning, good on you!" And you moan about our moaning? ∞

Because so many people moan about how unfair it is?

I've been reset more times than I've died so far...

Sure. Would you mind also telling the 'mod wannabes' out there to stay on topic in threads? Reporting can be done privately. They might be under the impression that if they suck up enough in public, they'll become one?

Seriously. People moan about "kill on site". When the world collapses and there is no "law" do you think everyone will be care bear friendly to each other? Oh some will, no doubt about it. There'll be some upstanding moral folk helping others, banding together. There will also be savage killers, robbers, rapists. There'll be warbands hounding the countryside looking for victims to loot, kill and take as slaves. How do you think most of your countries got made? It wasn't through kindness and unicorns. In most cases it was one tribe brutally taking over another, then another, then another until the tribal alpha male started calling himself a King. Are you running in the open? Using predictable routes? Entering high loot areas? Zero spatial awareness? Not listening for the sounds of others? Not seeing warning signs? Not thinking like an attacker and where they would hide? Not surveying areas? Not doubling back to see if you're being followed? Not being patient? "Boo hoo I got shot" - You deserved it.

People need to stop being so self entitled: "Boo, it's unfair when people shoot me and I have no weapon" Approx 70 people a year get attacked by sharks. It's not a high number really, maybe more in Australia but they happen all over. I'm sure very few of those 70 people reasonably left the house in the morning prepared to get attacked by a shark, but none the less it happened. Sharks attack people. Clearly, the shark is a dick of an animal - It's a predator, it's designed to kill. They're remorseless, cunning, unfaltering and fearless. They can have up to 3,000 teeth in 5 - 15 rows, designed to savagely rip and shred flesh with every bite. Once it's gotten the taste of blood it'll keep coming, attack after determined attack... Grinding you down. Is it the sharks fault those people got attacked? The shark may have been provoked to attack, it may have been hungry, it may have just attacked for the fun of it... Because it's a shark, it doesn't really need a reason. Know who ultimately caused the attack? There's not a documented case of someone being attacked by a shark on land... Earlier I spawned in Dubrovka in the NE. An armpit of a town devoid of loot. After checking every damn house I managed to get a can of coke, a cowboy hat, a flare and a broken / unusable PU scope. Junk - I took it all though, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I began a half-assed run up to Krasnostav with the intention of then heading to the NE airfield. Sprinting down the road while playing on my phone... Care free like an utter moron, with my pet zombie 'Jennifer' leap frogging behind me. Krasnostav isn't a busy town, but it's always a bit dangerous because of the proximity to the airfield... I got a feeling that something wasn't quite right as I got close to the barn on the outskirts... I jolted left to get off the road. A bullet cracked past me. Then boom another one whizzed over my shoulder. I zig zagged madly over the field using trees and shrubs for any cover I could - trying to be erratic in my movement. The angry man with the SKS carried on shooting, there were breaks in the shots but they were not getting any more accurate - he was chasing me, the mother fucker! Then the lag came... Joy... A bullet sliced into me, blood gushing out of the wound... Things were looking bad. :( 'This isn't very sporting' I thought as I carried on running, but I had it coming... I deserved to be on the floor dead already for my lazy stupidity up until now (How many of you would have given up at this stage and moaned?). No, fuck this guy, attackers are most vulnerable once they've started their attack, they're now committed and the element of surprise is gone, they become predictable... You're leading them... Weapon or not. I made a B line for the abandoned police station, I wanted him to know it too - It was the only reasonable chance of getting a gun. I hopped fences and bobbed behind sheds, then I lit and chucked my flare on the roof. I had 2 choices at this stage, double back and run away leaving him to follow the bait into the Police station, or try and loot a gun. I went for the high risk option, ripped my T-shirt into rags and bandaged before running in its only door and pounding up the stairs. I ran from room to room desperate for a gun and some bullets... Cans of coke, books, hats, more hats - WHO NEEDS SO MANY HATS??! Life was giving me lemons, no big deal. <_< Now I was trapped... I only had seconds left before he'd be outside so I ran back to the ground floor and waited for the predator with my SKS to arrive. Oh he was patient too, he didn't rush it... He surveyed the area... I heard his footsteps creeping up. I stayed stuck to the wall hoping to be unnoticed. What felt like minutes passed before he entered the station, running upstairs checking every corner of every room like a SWAT team. Then my time came... Standing bolt upright behind the door awaiting my fate. I saw his barrel first... He stepped in cautiously... Then.... I caved his fucking face in with my fists as he was inspecting my broken scope on the floor. I played this over my mic while I looted him. I knew he was listening. Take some responsibility for your death - your actions helped cause it, in spite of whatever else happened around you. You control your own fate; people and the environment just influence it. Life's unfair, so man up.

With Regards to the camo, there's a mod for Arma where you can change the colour of the ghillie suit, IMO this should be in. IRL you dye / add foliage to effect the colour of your actual ghillie suit to best match your environment. The ghillie should be on your hands (gloves) / boots too as well as your rifle. There should be a modular ghillie wrap to go on it. You simply would not use / make a ghillie suit and then leave your hands boots and rifle uncovered, it's moronic. I love the idea of the scope glint, that's exactly why good snipers aim to have the sun behind them so it isn't in their eyes and it doesn't reflect off of their scope. If you've got the ghillie wrap on your rifle, you should not get scope reflection either, that's because most snipers will cover their scope lens with a material which allows them to look out but stops light reflection such as dyed muslin, burlap netting or a cardboard cover or tape which reduces the opening size: There should be a function to drop water on the ground in front of your barrel too, to stop dirt kicking up when you shoot.

No reason at all why this isn't ingame along with a bunch of other stock weapons that would add flavour while still using similar ammo...

What I find funny is the guy who frequently hangs out on hacker forums is the person who's claiming others are the hackers. :rolleyes: It's like those politicians that push hard for anti-gay legislation, who then turn out to be raging homosexuals who quite enjoy being gang banged by a football team. "battle eye is working" -- Sure buddy... :rolleyes:

I'm detecting a lot of negative vibes in here. Most of you must be either hackers yourselves or quite obliviously happy being killed by god mode hackers...

The "survival" portion of game died a bitter death a few months back when hackers began teleporting the entire server 1KM into the sky every 20 minutes.
