Be honest you know there is going to be some type of solution eventually. Rocket discussed locking the camera or changing the 3pp cameras position. Now is the time to brain storm potential ideas to fix this problem.

After all the bickering and complaining about 3pp players using the unrealistic camera option to gain an unfair advantage and peek over and around cover I have finally found the perfect solution that will keep both sides happy and requires very little work from the devs. The solution is to make the option to switch between 3pp and 1pp a menu option. Simply forcing people to go into their options menu and go through a few screens in order to switch their perspective would go a long way to stopping people from sitting on a rooftops just waiting for people while in complete safety.

People are always so quick to blame the server admins.

Hopefully there is a wide array of hunting rifles in different calibers this time around so you can get that cz550 feel with multiple rifles.

While realistic flying is good it still does not solve the problem of helicopters fundamentally changing the core game. When and if choppers are added the game will lose touch with itself it will be a different game a inferior game. Peoples safely hidden stashes up north will all be vulnerable to be gone with a single pass of a helicopter. The game will go from feeling like a low tech survival game to turning into BF4 with zombies.

I actually just licked my lips while reading all that. Combine that with weapon resting and bipod deployment and we got a recipe for fun rewarding deep gameplay.

It just means luck was on his side this time. Had he fire again the shot could have landed as much as 50 feet off.

All a direct result of oversimplified shooting mechanics in Arma 2 and dayz. With more indepth and complex shooting and weapon elevation mechanics that would not happen.

Yup Helicopters and tanks should not be in stand alone let a modder make a script or a mod for them.

Did a tiny bit of a search and I keep coming up with people saying the .30-06 is the most popular hunting caliber all over the world.

which one ? Also could you guys imagine how nice it would be to have a .243 pushing 3900 FPS.

Perhaps they don't care about variety. A wide variety of compatible platforms should not be a deciding factor when adding a cartridge into the game instead if the cartridge and the weapon fits the setting they have envisioned.

http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/85919354781/the-challenge-and-saga-of-zombie-pathfinding Found this interesting. Redeveloped “action” system, replacing the mouse-wheel scroll action system. Sounds alot like the ACE interaction menu it was a god send it allowed the scroll menu to not be cluttered while still allowing for a more complex game.

Heck is the ak74 even coming anymore ? I assumed they scrapped it in order to avoid the ammo problem and replaced it with the akm. As for 5.45x39 it wouldn't be a problem as there are quite a few weapons in that caliber. Ak74 ak74u RPK74 All 3 of those weapons would be fine additions to the game.

I would assume so, it is an exploit after all.

I thought the game detects it now and does not let you join a server.

They all suck and shoot unrealistically I hate them all equally.

The backpacks need a complete overhaul the inventory should be weight and space based not just slot based.

Sucks man some people just suffer from more motion sickness than others. Try setting your fov settings higher and turn off head bob. That should help.

Maybe they just want less Tacticool things in the game who knows ? Maybe the last thing they want is everyone in the game not looking like a survivor and instead everyone looking like tacticool mall ninjas.

Even something like this would make firefights last longer without having to resort to random dispersion.

That is incorrect. There number of hunters that are likely to survive a SHTF scenario is insane. These hunters would bring with them their precision shooting and hunting rifles many of which are on par if not exceed what a military sniper rifle is capable of. Take a deer rifle in .243 for example a good accurate deer rifle in .243 shoots a 90 grain bullet out of the barrel at around 3600 fps with a hot load at that speed the time to target is insanely fast and with say 10 mph cross wind the .243 will be affected by wind by 20 feet less compared to a .308 from say a m24 or m40 rifle. When it comes to precision shooting, the civilian market and hunters have far better equipment.

Sure if Dayz ran in the arma 3 engine that would a very valid tactic however as far as I can tell the arma 2 penetration in stand alone is nowhere near as advanced.

Nothing , steam worshop always seems very limited compared to the mods you can get outside of it.
