    Must have Hitlers buzzsaw if there are WW2 guns going in.  Stahl helms would be freakin' sweet, I'd roll around in one of those instead of the military ones they have in game right now.

     

    On a side note, I think that these older weapons should be RARE as hell to find in pristine condition.  Even the SKS should be in that rarity bracket.

    I wish they had some islands so boat travel is more frequent.

     

    Probably not though.  I will be disappointed with boats like I was with the mod once again  :(

     

    On topic, I am kind of everywhere -- I don't really stick to the coast mainly because boat travel has been (or will be) abandoned.  >:(

    m14 or dmr meant you had won the mod... until you found the as550 thermal scope that is.

     

    man i loved those rifles.

     

    Oh man the AS50 was just gay... I am glad that's staying out of the DayZ universe.

     

    But yes, the M14/DMR were powerful -- I always liked the FN FAL too, same caliber and excellent iron sights.

     

    Was never a fan of the M14, although it was quite good at ambushing unsuspecting cars... but for that the MK Mod 0 was even better. My personal favorite for daytime gunfights was probably the SA-58V ACOG.. It had Single, Burst, and Full auto select fire, an ACOG scope, and did AKM levels of damage (4500 blood?).. So 1-3 shot kill on anyone. I could pick off DMR snipers from 500+ meters with that baby, and it even had backup iron sights for close quarters encounters. The only downfall of the weapon was that you couldn't use NVG's with the scope, which is why I usually carried a M16A3 ACOG instead.

     

     

    For those unawares:

    Did I mention it looked badass, also?

     

    The only type of M4 I carried with my toon on the mod was the silenced version -- mainly because they made the sounds aggro zombie mobs from like 10000m away, even pistols were quite ridiculous... 

     

    Once again, I can't wait to rejoice in glory with my M14.  :lol:

    LOL... ok.

     

    So you're saying that in the mods, you felt a Lee Enfield was the same as an M249? 

     

    Now did you ever actually have and use an M249? Because that statement is rather laughable man... it really is.

     

    Its tantamount to saying, the crossbow is just as good as the G17. 

     

    edit: Oops, I guess we already cleared that up.. :blush:  Nevermind!

     

    Not to mention how powerful the M14 was.

     

    God I miss that gun.

    OhNoes I would agree with you that helicopters are just the fastest means of transportation and I don't get why people think of helicopters as such god like vehicle. In Take on Helicopters you can take out a little bird with five rounds to the tail rotor, counting the misses that's about only one mag of 5.56. Though true they can be used to find bases fast but isn't that kinda part of having something that flys. I would like to see them in game or at least some fixed winged light sport aircraft.

     

    The discussion of many debaters is the general fact that how would you know how to properly fix one?  Let alone pilot one?  Let alone have power to fix it? Like ffs.

     

    It was in ARMA and was in the mod.

     

    As far as realism, it has no place.

    Helicopters were never the end game, sorry.  Maybe on a public/vanilla build with a whopping handful on the map, but not on 97% of DayZ servers.  Being able to go 21km in 5 minutes compared to a few hours, isn't exactly some huge accomplishment.  It's just means of transportation.  I like not having any cars right now, and when they get added you can best bet if you find someone with a working car and you want one, you're not going to be shooting a single bullet anywhere near that working car.

     

    That makes no sense.  With a fully fueled heli you can find camps and guess what -- insta-geared!!!!

     

    It really is such a big advantage that isn't needed.

    Again, another example of a touchy, emotional member of this forum. You point out the flaw in their logic and they insult you. Signs of a fragile ego.

     

    What takes more time and effort than fixing/maintaining and fueling a helicopter?

     

    Have you ever piloted a heli in the mod? The map is still incredibly large and is not so easy to acquire vehicles. You also forget to realise that the point in having another vehicle when you have a heli is pretty much redundant.

     

    As a survival aspect of the game having armed helis makes for an increbily fun experience. Having to hide when they fly over and having one chase you is thrilling? But we just see more and more cry from casuals that want to play a game co-op vs AI.

     

    What a terrible comment -- just shows that you're one of those losers that cream for the idea of choppers in DayZ alpha. 

     

    What makes more sense in an apocolypse?

     

    Guy driving truck or guy flying chopper?

     

    In your pathetic comment you fail to address the irrelevance of choppers in a scavenging scenario: to carry heli-rotors in your backpack and fix a fully-operational helicopter makes no sense.  I mean the time aside the facts of having access to proper greases/lubes and aircraft fuel, why would you waste precious fuel to purposely strafe people in cherno? 

     

    Invalid argument.  I see no redemption in keeping flying tanks in DayZ.

     

    Go take YOUR crying somewhere else when they're out of DayZ, bud.

    I have around 230 hours combined right now -- and I've been inactive for about two weeks (mainly just bored of DayZ) -- and I've murdered 1 person.  I play the same way as Rhodes, I only use my weap's in self defense only killing dickhead PvP'ers that want to start shit.  I personally like playing this way because this is how I've met some great people while playing.  A person always has to be analytical when coming in contact with someone, but going out intentionally dumping on people just isn't my way of 'having fun'.  I have played the "PvP Bandit" before and comparing it to how I actually play most of the time is uncomparable.

    Honestly... I hope eventually they enforce 1st person for one patch.  I do like 3rd really for the 'looks' of my own character when I get some cool gear, but other then that it's a cheap game mode that should be slowly phased out of DayZ.  You can see through walls in 3rd, making PvP less immersive and gives everyone who exploits it a cheap advantage.  HC is way more fun/intense when you encounter players because NO 360 degree PARASCOPING your way out of everything.  I can't begin to list how many times I've used it to own the fuck out of people back in the mod -- all ghillied up like a retard pwning fuck heads with my M14... Now that I reflect I would really support Rocket if he begins to phase 3rd out later towards Beta.

     

    I wish I had my desktop with all my screenshots on FRAPS, I have tons of shots of parascoping through walls -- showing how unfair and cheap it is to play 3rd.
