not really. any semi auto that i've shot will fire just as fast as you can pull the trigger. there's also full auto pistols which shoot faster than all hell. the mechanism of a semi auto doesn't affect it's fire rate unless you're pulling the trigger at superhuman speed. +1 for this, would be cool to see in game.

i was thinking the same thing. maybe adding features to the mod that are in the standalone if possible with the arma 2 engine.

pretty sure it's a double action; you pull the trigger, the hammer pulls back, and the gun fires all in one motion. i think the idea of the slow fire rate is to even out it's power. generally speaking, it's harder to shoot in quick succession with a revolver than a semi auto anyway.

i was originally gonna buy a dvd retail version, but no stores nearby had it, so steam was the next best option.

the only thing i would add out of what you've said is a trading system. punishing people for playing the game is dumb and always will be.

i'd be happy to buy a standalone dayz game. i bought arma 2 mainly to play dayz but i'd still pay for an actual dayz game. idk what everyone's problem is with that. especially if they do the discount for buying it in alpha. there's no reason that it'd be free if it's a seperate game.

yeah some of the starting equipment has been updated out. weapons can be found just about anywhere, usually takes a little while to find one though. deerstands are pretty likely to have a gun and/or ammo. the weapon you'll probably find quickest is a hatchet. to use that, right click and select 'remove from toolbelt' to equip it as a weapon. best bet to find people to play with is probably here: http://dayzmod.com/f...14-survivor-hq/ for the in-game chat, use 'direct chat' to talk to other players, but that's only to people who are nearby. i don't think any more servers have 'global chat' but if they do, you can use that to talk to anyone else on the server. also, i'd watch a few youtube let's play videos to get a general grasp of the game. good luck!

way to whine and try to make fun of anyone who doesn't agree. cry moar about how you want a weapon back in the game while insulting any dissenters, i'm sure that will help. there's probably your biggest problem. it's a zombie survival game. that means it's more about zombies and survival rather than the weapons you wish you could have. also, your grammar gave me cancer. thanks.

if they made it grow by logging a certain amount of in-game time, that would be a little harder to do. a huge waste of time either way though.

new plan: find a bike.

thought this was pretty funny. so watch it, maybe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS1wzdlu-WM

contact with hostile players is prety much inevitable, so it is a PvP game

same here. you're obviously gonna get shot if you don't, why not get in and see what happens?

i love it. the call me maybe song is so fuckin catchy.

i'd like to see some sort reaction when you shoot a zombie, instead of continuing to attack or just dropping dead. it's hard to tell if you hit em or not sometimes, and you can end up wasting bullets shooting when they're already dead but just haven't dropped yet. it'd be nice if they flinched or staggered when hit.

i like it. it'd add to the atmosphere of the game. +1 for this idea.

i use both. used pc for gaming for a long time before i had any money to buy really anything. then i got a 360 one bday, played the shit out of that. now i recently got a gaming pc and play both. as most have said, there's pros and cons. basically pc has wider range of what you can do and best potential preformance, console has reliability and simplicity. your pc might get a virus or something unexpected, might not be able to run a game, slowly becomes outdated, or other problems not related to gaming. whereas with console you know for sure you can play the games you buy for it, and updating is just buying a new one and you're good to go till the next gen. also more likely to have more friends who game with consoles than pc, the average person doesn't have a gaming pc. some games are better on pc and some better on console. NHL for example, which i play a lot, i'd hate to play that on pc. pretty sure it's not even available on pc. really up to you i guess. both have advantages and disadvantages.

been like that with six launcher since i got it. i run the game through steam anyway though. i just use six launcher for updates and checking if there is one.

did everyone forget the first issue? the SLD guy with non-dayz rounds?

well guess what, we don't give a fuck either. you suck at the game so you want it to be easier for you, not our problem.

i was in the elektro church waiting to meet up with my buddy there. we're both from the same town and were getting bad lag on this server so we decided to switch to another server closer to us and hopefully get rid of the lag. we both logged and went to a new server. as soon as i spawn back in, i see that it's night time on this server and there's a flare in the church. i look to my left and see a guy with an AK watching the door while his friend looted stuff behind him. i had an enfield and about 4 mags so i thought i was set to take em out. i go to raise the gun up and look down the sights and nothing happens. i click it again. nothing. i clck the fire button a few times, still nothing. by this time one of them noticed me so i called out friendly, obviously i wasn't gonna kill them without a working gun. the other one turned around and watched me while his friend finished looting, then i heard one of them garble something over vchat and they opened fire. if you don't like a story or tl;dr, skip down here: so, can anyone tell me why i couldn't look down the sights and/or fire? i've had it glitch like that playing arma 2 when you can't raise the gun up to look down your sights, but pressing fire always fixes that.

thanks guys, maybe next time i won't get shot in the face.

i recently bought a kick-ass ibuypower gaming pc from best buy's website for $750. can run any game i've played so far, inculding dayz, on highest graphics no problem. someone in the product reviews said it ran mw3 on full graphics also (haven't tested that because i play cod on console). 1TB hard drive if you were concerned about storage. i could post more specs if you're interested. i could also probably find a link on the bb website.

on top of elektro hospital with 3000 blood. would appreciate some help. i have bloodbags to use but i assume you guys take care of the meds part.
