I have experience with every single weapon in Dayz and by far and away, the M16 ACOG is my favorite. Effective range up to 800m and even better at closer ranges. For extremely close ranges, has anyone ever heard of a sidearm? There is a reason that you have a pistol in Dayz... Plus, for zeds, just throw in some SD magazines and everything is gravy. I am willing to trade an AS50, or an L85A2 AWS for an M16 ACOG. If anyone has one that they would like to trade, PM me.

Miss the M16 Acog, willing to trade the (rarest?) weapon in the game for it.

So what your saying is, ArmA, a game developed by an entire seasoned studio (at this point), is not capable of achieving a higher fidelity product/environment, than a game created by a single entity? I just hope that the proper means go into creating a full fledged Dayz game, as it were. What I don't want to see, is a half-ass developed game, with hardly any production value, riding on the pedigree of a spectacular mod. It just seems that it would be advantageous for Rocket to use Bohemia's resources in order to realistically put something out to his fan base reliably.

Am I the only one who is starting to get worried about the fact that Dayz will not be a DLC/Mod for ArmA 3, but rather a standalone product. The preview videos for ArmA 3 look very sexy. I understand that Rocket will have more control on his "vision", of what Dayz is supposed to be by branching off on his own. Building a standalone will no doubt give him the reigns to tailor make mechanics of the engine to suite the needs of the game, however, this will take much time and resources (money) to do. One of which I am afraid of the availability of (I'll let you guess which). I guess what I am getting to is, will Dayz feature ArmA 3's engine, repackaged as a standalone product? Or will it be a completely new game/engine; what I fear.

Was thinking that it would be kinda cool if you could place trail cameras out that would snap a pic if a player was in its FOV. You could place the cameras at your campsite and, if it got raided, could review the pictures to see when, and who (if the server alloud name tags) raided it. I know it would be more of a "fun" item then really practicle, but it would add in an extra little layer of detail. Thoughts?

Well, upon spawning in, it put me in Kamenka. Low and behold right infront of me was a UAZ. Just sitting on the railroad tracks. Naturally I did a quick look around and jumped in the baby and took off. Everything was green and had a full tank of gas. Drove a few kilometers into the woods untill I felt safe and then decided to have a look and see if there was any gear in the thing. Had a L85A2 AWS, 50cal, ammo for both, nv goggles and a range finder. Probably all smuggled goods (hacked). But I'll take what I can get

I logged in and the first thing that popped up was a message saying that I was killed. I immediately left the server and joined a new one and when I did, I had all my gear (thank god) but was teleported waaaaaay back to the beach. Anyone else had this bug. This is not the first time I have had it. Had it 6 times already or so. Frustrating

Maybe would part with my L85A2 AWS for it... PM me with details

Did they alter how fast you get cold recently? I used to be able to play all through the night and wouldnt start getting cold untill morning-ish. Now, as soon as the sun goes down, I get cold; real cold. Too easy to get cold and sick now IMO. Not like we have the option of putting on a jacket or anything to stay warm.. Except of course a heat pack, but, seems gimicky to always need one on yourself..

As the post states or maybe a M4A1 CAMO SD

Just had to take off my bino's as they defaulted in the nvg slot with bino's equiped. Then B as usual. TY everyone. Rollinio, I'll think about it :)

How do you operate the range finders? What is the default key press?

has the server been announced yet?

So from what I understand, there is a finite amount of vehicles on a server, and unless they are blown up, they will be only where someone had left one/at its spawn? The problem I see with this being that once all vehicles are found they will be hoarded and kept very hidden and unless you were one of the first people on a server, you dont stand a very good chance on ever seeing a vehicle. Thoughts?

Yes, that is more the point that I am trying to make None taken, just trying to brainstorm a new layer of game mechanics.
