Ozelot (DayZ)

This should be added to allow for a higher magazine capacity with the trade off of lowered accuracy and not being able to aim down the sight. Make it happen. Inb4 "alpha hurrdurr" Inb4 cod whining

It takes you way longer to turn around in a tight hallway with a giant rifle with a bayonet at the end than a tiny pistol does. Period.

Switch to your pistol or an smg.

I don't care how they priortize it. The point is that they fix it.

Derp. That is also an issue. The amount of crap you have on your body should also restrict your movement.

Why would someone hold two rifles in their hands? They'd look stupid. Holding two pistols makes you look swag.

What if all I have is a pair of pistols? Since when does everyone have an M4 in their pocket? Another thing that doesn't make sense is the m4's size. It's so long yet you can swing it around indoors like it's a little flashlight in your hands. Very unrealistic.

M4? An M4 is an assault rifle. It has a high degree of accuracy with a moderate rate of fire. There's a lot of weapons that outclass it on rate of fire.

Because the rate of fire is more important than accuracy in all sorts of situations-- Hell, I'd say most of them.

The point isnt to try and aim well. It's to rapidly fire a hail of bullets in the hope you hit something.

If they want to change the name they have to pay a royalty fee to the weapon manufacturer, because DayZ is now a commerical product. This is why they won't do it.

Yes yes yes. But enough of your senseless bickering. Where is this revolver?

Are you saying he cannot be wrong about anything? WTF? It is pretty simple: I asked you for proof, you said the patchnotes, they simply aren't because they are sometimes written in error. It happens all the time. Don't be an idiot. Offer proof for your statement or be quiet.

Namalsk has a sweet track. Stop complaining so much.

Patchnotes are not always accurate. Everyone knows this.

Proof?

It's a game. It doesn't matter.

Once you have tactical shirt/vest/pants/backpack the amount of stuff you can carry on you gets crazy. While it's probably possible to carry all that stuff at once, the degree to which it would tire you out while moving would be very high. the average person probably gets very tired jut walking carry over 10 kilos. A physically fit military person would get tired with more than about 30. And just your clothes themselves have weight to them. stuffing them full of ammo and water bottles is going to get very heavy very fast. inb4 "hurrdurr alpha"

This makes sense in video game land. In reality a fire axe is fucking heavy.

I completely forgot that you are able to mysteriously carry one of those on you with no regard to inventory space.

Your hip is the most important bone in your body. IF you were not dead, you would be on the ground from a shot from a pistol. People very very very rarely can take more than 2 shots from any firearm and survive, but these instances are the exception of the exception. They are not the norm.

Personally, I hate starting with the flashlight. I really don't use the thing, even in night time, because it shows where you are and flares/chemlights are much more useful since they don't translate your location and you dont have to drop your weapon for them. Right now you are forced to some what, because there aren't any other light sources, but once they are added, I'm simply going to ignore the flashlight entirely. Although I love the head lamp. So to start out, you should get a small choice of simple starting gear. None of these would be too big. It also gives you a reason to actually check newspawn bodies, since otherwise you're just going to assume its just going to be another guy with a flashlight. The alternate choices could be: One bandage or some other type of minor medical loot that would be useless on it's own. A can of food or soda, maybe even an empty water bottle. A minor tool/weapon, like a screwdriver. A small random number (1-2) of random bullets. Cargo pants, which have six slots instead of four. These options could also be totally random, instead of a choice.

how am I supposed to read those when it requires a login?

I'm hitting things dead on. KoS in one-two shots in most cases. Learn to take more care with sighting and when to fire-- Don't just fire erratically as soon as you see somebody.

I think it's a good idea. It makes dying more of an exception. No longer will you just lose gear, which can be gotten back easily, but also skills.
