Meh, I'll list a few pros and cons of the M4. The AK has a lot of the same pros and some other cons. If you're really interested in finding out, I'd suggest doing some looking on both of the guns on the DayZ Wiki M4 Pros: Low recoil Low sound Quick fire rate Ammo is easily found Ammo is universal (STANAG SD. and STANAG) Accurate up to about 250 meters, in which case the bullet drop is pretty minimal Very good for zombie takedowns (dot sight allows for easily aimed headshots) Cons: Can take many shots for a kill in PvP The sound can be heard by players from quite a distance Not ideal for long-range engagements Better weapons that take the same ammunition can be found very easily Not sure why I compiled it like that... Guess I was bored xD Anyways, maybe it'll help you pick. The AK is an okay weapon, but the recoil is pretty hardcore. If I had to pick, it would definately be the M4A3 CCO

Yeah, noticed that after I posted... Lmao, fingers are a bit faster than my mind :c

I think you're misunderstanding. The Czech backpack is considerably larger than the Coyote Patrol Pack. See this for reference on the backpack sizes: http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Backpack ==Edit== Wow, you're right. Dafuck? Never noticed it xD I always end up getting lucky and searching a firehouse or two and finding a Coyote

L.O.L This is pretty fuckin' funny. Kudos to you sir.

The game is in Alpha, and a lot of the issues you are encountering may be fixed later. However, do you think zombies would really linger and moan around without a person nearby to stir them up a bit? I guess it's almost realistic? Dunno, but if you're a bandit, I suggest avoiding going into towns to begin with. If you're wanting to kill someone to get their gear, I'd suggest sitting in places such as the Northwest Airfield. Reason being: You'll find more people with better gear than you're going to find in Elektro. This will also give you a chance to find loot in the Barracks in the NWAF is clear.

I've seen those numbers jump quite a bit actually. I checked it one day and it was something like 910,000. Checked it the next day and it was something about 850,000. Not sure how this is determined :o DayZ is pretty badass, and hitting 1,000,000 isn't going to be difficult at the pace that it's currently going at.

This was already discussed in one of Rocket's interviews if I remember correctly. See, the game is currently a mod, which causes issues with creating new maps for DayZ individually. However, Rocket has said that he has plans to release DayZ as a standalone game. Which would mean that ArmA2 would no longer be needed to play DayZ. This would mean that Rocket would be free to develop the game how he sees fit. With that in mind, think about how the maps will be designed. Rocket had said that he wanted to fit something like 150 players per server, with a much larger map, more loot spawns, and a revamped loot spawning system. None of this is for sure, but these are things that are currently being thought about.

I know how they work. If you would've read my post, you would understand my reasoning. Instead of insulting someone's knowledge, perhaps you should fully understand the topic before replying.

I had the same problem. I believe I fixed it by starting Arma2 and Arma2OA individually through steam, then loading armory and leaving. Can't completely remember how I fixed this, but I'd try what I suggested above.

Your name fits your demeanor perfectly.

So... The sniper hit you and you alt f4'd? Good luck getting help...

Why not just a camel? :D

Wasn't my idea, like I said before, was a buddies idea in my group :P I'm just taking the credit for it! :D

lol'd.Read your post. Then look up what Alpha and Beta are. Then re-read your post. I can't even explain how stupid this is. This is exactly what you said without the sugar coating bullshit: "We should stop testing this game and instead sell it so that only rich fuckers can play it. To hell with people that contribute to the community. Oh, and Rocket, you should stop trying to develop the game and you should instead start selling 'closed beta' keys. This will keep a lot of players off of the servers so you won't get the data you need, but at least I won't die all the time to people who play the game how they want to." Dafuq you thankan? Edit: I hope this is constructive enough for you.

This.

Why, thank you sir ;3

Bumping this.

Removing that respawn button helped my framerate a ridiculous amount. It also keeps people from continuously rushing their dead body. I'm unsure how many times I've murdered the same person 10 times over because they're stupid enough to respawn and rush their body.

Well, mainly because this is a mod, and changing how the mod works would cause quite a few issues. A lot of the exploits that are occurring are being logged and fixed with the Hive. This is in Alpha and like everyone says, if this game goes to standalone, issues like this will be fixed. I don't approve of pricks server-hopping in the middle of combat, alt f4'ing, or even hopping just to find good loot. Howeverthere are things that are necessary for you to server hop. Things like lag on the server (when more people join) or technical issues in general. I've logged in and out more since the patch that logs it all than ever. Simply because hackers seem to be more common now. The game is in a chaotic state in both the developers eyes and in ours. I suppose we should just relax, keep complaining, and watch the dev team fix it. So far they've done a pretty good job ;D

You people just keep multiplying >< Point of Alpha is to try ideas like this, not to focus solely on fixing bugs, hackers, or glitchers. Those people will get their spoon when they least expect it. The game we're all playing is but a framework of what is to come - especially when the standalone begins development.

If you have a large group and you're in a lot of engagements, you'll want a well-stocked medic on your side. Between glitches, hackers and other squads that camp sites, you WILL get hurt. Maybe the guy carrying the bag isn't even a medic. Maybe he's carrying all of your sniper rifles, or your food, tools, tents, or looted gear. You'll want at least one person roaming around that has gear that if something falls through he can either fix the situation or re-gear your fallen team. It's almost like having your own pony :)

It's almost like there's a good benefit and a good 'risk'. Just gotta make sure your medic doesn't get stranded with 50 aggroed zombies.

Oh, so Brazillians are here to ruin this game too?

.-. Your point of view is busted on many levels.

Mwuahah, US355? I think my group might have to get in on some of that action :) Sounds like you guys had a hell of a time :D Might pop in later tonight or tomorrow.
