Mosins don't have chorme lined barrels and all that corrosive ammo takes its toll. It is a 4 moa rifle that is too accurate in game.

Doubt we will get that. However the mg3 and pkm might make it in.

I don't think anyone would ever fire enough rounds in quick succession to warrant barrel overheating. If dispersion is fixed and weapons have real world accuracy I would be for weapons having slightly less accuracy once the barrel gets hot. This is especially apparent in thin barreled bolt action rifles and alot of pencil thin ar 15 and m4s.

Agree on all points. Slim chance of them removing zombies in the alpha though. If they did people would end up loving the lack of janky zombies and would now be experiencing a whole new game then when zombies are readded everyone would complain and want them removed again.

Dude the mod and stand alone have never ever been pve. It has always and will always be PVP focused. The zombies were just filler.

In the mod the scope was fixed power plus at the standard fov it worked. If you changed you fov it messed it up.

Cant say man never played it. Great XD

go watch the road if you havent already believe its on netflix right now.

I just imagine scenarios where people are desperate and hungry letting their guard down looting a super market and building when then boom. You come across a player but both of you had their guard down the tension the suspense and the anxiety in such a situation is impossible in dayz due to people always having to be on edge in cities. They have to be on edge because of the janky zombies .

:/ that aint realistic that would just make the player get sleepy and lazy.

Absolutely I agree that is why I used past tense . up until now zombies have done absolutely nothing for the game other than be a source of frustration and help players locate other players more easily. That could change in the future of course as zombies take center stage and get more a focus. While I am doubtful that zombies will ever play a meaningful or even fun role in dayz it could absolutely happen especially now that it has its own team dedicated purely to their behavior.

You would be correct. Fallout would be the one series that I have played that I can remember that humans are the main antagonist. Atleast in certain fallouts. In Fallout 1 the master was the main antagonist along side the super mutants Fallout 2 the enclave was the main antagonist Fallout 3 the enclave once again were the main antagonist In Fallout tactics it varied but that game had no story just various battle situations Fallout New vegas it any number of groups but anyone from Robots lead by mr house, the NCR humans or the legion humans once again. .

I remember reading a tweet mentioning a CZ rifle or a video with one of the devs. No mention of what the CZ model or caliber was though.

With the lore sure but gameplay wise zombies have not played any role at all. The extent of where zombies play a role in dayz is to help players easily spot players by merely glancing at a city and spotting aggro. zombies are only detrimental to gameplay in dayz.

I matters not that the zombies are functional and or incredibly they are still zombies and that alone is gimmicky in my eyes. The fact that it has zombies in it just makes it yet another zombie game no different from the dozens of games out there. A mod that has no zombies but instead the environment is the danger and people are the monsters would be far more immersive and terrifying in my eyes. Would be a super original concept for a video game.

Give it time bud the weapons will come.

Good example of that is rust. Due to the heavy focus on building and survival in rust people are forced to team up and band together. A band of people together getting resources , building, repairing and looting together has a far stronger chance of not being raided. Just like real life power is numbers and the more people you have the more power you have.

In a video game ? I have never played a post apocalyptic video game where the main antagonist is not either mutants, zombies or monsters. In other forms of media sure its not unique but in a massive multiplayer game it would be super unique.

It's a sim. But everything is fine now the devs said they are nerfing the crossbow.

Zombies indeed are overused. http://www.imdb.com/search/title?keywords=zombie&sort=moviemeter%2Casc&title_type=feature&year=2013%2C2013 There were 66 films alone last year that featured zombies. although that midget zombie has potential.

If anyone has not yet seen it or read the book I highly recommend The Road. The road is by far the scariest post apocalyptic film I have ever seen and no it does not feature any of the tired old tropes of the Genre. There are no zombies, no fast zombies, no mutants, no vampires no ghouls and no aliens. The film and the book prove that the scariest thing in a post apocalyptic environment is the lack of hope and the monstrosity of human nature. Nothing for me has come close to being as scary as the cannibals in the movie and book I mean nothing. The sheer thought of people losing all of their humanity and succuming to eating other living breathing humans as a means to survive should be bone chilling for everyone. The reason why this is so horrifying is because it is so surreal , these monsters could be anyone, they could be your friendly neighbor , your mail man that nice cashier at the super market. This inner beast exists in each and everyone of us and because of this it is so terrifying.

Zombies are a gimmick and a trope in any genre now. They are something that has been done to death for over 30 years. There is nothing original or redeeming about zombies. zombies have come to become the lazy enemy in any movie, video game or piece of media. Just cornball enemies.

This would be the great part. without zombies taking up huge resources they can focus on increasing the player count and making the game far smoother. Imagine dayz where the netcode and hit detection is silky smooth each time all because there are no janky zombies wasting resources. Imagine having a game of dayz where you get good performance and can crank up the view distance due to less strain . Imagine dayz where there are 150 players on the server each trying their best to survive and most of the deaths are due to the environment. Yea a more survival focused game . Where every bullet is valuable and every encounter is extremely scary just like the road. They can achieve that with a far more realistic health and disease system. They could also make crafting an almost essential thing to survive such as needing to build camp fires or shelter to survive the extreme cold in the nights. could work well with an accelerated day and night cycle like rust where day is about 3 to 4 times longer than night but night is super scary if you dont make it home in time.

Now I have to go get nachos thanks alot.

Hunting range finders are usually around the 300-600 price range and their range is about 1200m. problem with them is the further out you get the more the laser spreads out so the less accurate the range finding is.
