here is how it looks when playing the game. With the slower pace of dayz it could be really amazing. Notice how it makes even 100m shots require some skill . Nothing is more satisfying than hitting someone at 400m + with irons while they run in red orchestra 2. Free aim is fantastic.
-
Another simple solution is to turn on the crosshair when nothing is in your hands. That would work. Also free aim is the aiming method they are going to add soon it sorta simulates how holding a gun is in your arms while it is not locked in to where you look. see how the gun moves around even if the camera doesn't thats free aim. Has lots of benefits including one of making heavier weapons take longer to move around and lighter faster weapons such as smgs faster to maneuver.
-
You don't need a crosshair for that simply aim towards the center of the screen. also don't they sort of have to remove the crosshair if they are going to do free aim ? I would imagine the crosshair would make you sick moving all over the screen once free aim is in.

What are the most popular VoIP programs for DayZ?
gibonez replied to tatchell (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
of course they could do so. Just disable any mic controls in game disable push to talk then mirror voice chat from the mic over in game. Would work for 99 percent of players. -
But it is still in , I thought they said they were going to remove it. Even as useless as you might think it is , it is still useful for aiming upclose.

Streamers make Day Z SA look like so much action happens.
gibonez replied to KindsirCTHG's topic in General Discussion
Nothing wrong with more realism in Dayz but god I cringe when people talk like soldiers do. Bravo 5 actual Kill confirmed.... What a tool. -

Never heard of this sacriel but he sounds like a complete and utter tool. -

Gaming isn't a sport. None of those apply there is nothing entertaining about watching someone else play, its just odd. -
The Public Hive- Am I the only person who likes it?
gibonez replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
Absolutely not the reason private hives thrive is because of people being able to custom tailor it to their needs. What I think you are looking for is a public hive thst is has one character per server. -

Hopefully when they mirror all mic activity in game chat will be the popular option. -

gibonez replied to KindsirCTHG's topic in General Discussion
I will never understand streamers or the recent popularity of them. Why would morons sit and watch other people play games then on top of it all put in their idiotic input while playing. Why not just play the game yourself instead of watching someone play. Super silly to me. -
If you could change one thing about SA right now....
gibonez replied to DMack's topic in General Discussion
Rehaul the weapon attachment system and weapon dispersion mechanics for ACE style realistic elements for everything including sniping. -
Went Back To The Mod Last Night - The Little Things
gibonez replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Yes this is completely vital imo. Spreading the mil loot north forces people to migrate through the map as they head north. Same thing applies to helicopter crashes and other "dynamic" events. -
Went Back To The Mod Last Night - The Little Things
gibonez replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
yea it adds value to your life, makes it that much more frustrating to get shot and killed. also - I love the health system in the mod so much more than in stand alone. The blood system in the mod is hands down better than the SA, nothing is more satisfying than shooting someone in the chest at 700m with a m24 , have them move 2-3 steps then collapse with blood just squirting all over, then carefully aiming a killshot as he lays down bleeding. -
The Public Hive- Am I the only person who likes it?
gibonez replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
Public hives bring forth too many problems. They are also detrimental to the development of the game. Alot of features cannot and will not meet their full potential due to having to deal with the constrants of a public hive , some features simply will not work as well due to the public hive such as base building. -
im not sure upcoming features are "positive" to the game
gibonez replied to bioned's topic in General Discussion
Should. -
I want to be scared - A discussion on horror and Dayz
gibonez replied to hrdrok's topic in General Discussion
Zombies will never be a threat or ever be scary no matter what they do to them. People will always give you butterflies especially when you both notice each other at the same time. -

PVC pipes will have multiple uses man. PVP pipe + hacksaw + black powder extracted from shotgun shells = pipebomb Pipebomb + wire = tripwire pipebomb ied Pipebomb + buckshot shotgun shells + ducktape = heavy sharpnel pipebomb. Pipebomb + matches in inventory = you can light a pipebomb once in your hand with the middle mouse. Pipe bomb + wire + battery = remote triggered pipebomb. -
You don't say ? Fantastic if true.

Absolutely free floating the barrel does increase accuracy by a tiny bit but the magpul handguards do not free float the barrel so your point is worthless. Once again that affects the handling of the gun and again it does not change the mechanical accuracy of the gun. What you are suggesting would be simulated with reduced sway when those parts are attached. Once again if you are going to spout bullshit atleast know what you are talking about. How does a piece of plastic somehow magically increase its mechanical accuracy. It simply does not.
-
Because machine guns are heavy? If they could any smart sniper team would prefer to have a lmg with them instead of a rifle. However carrying a heavy mg and ammo for it deep into enemy territory isn't possible.
-
As they begin to add more weapons is anyone worried we will see a similiar situation such as in the mods such as breaking point where there are too many different guns in too many different calibers. This leads to alot of the weapons being useless since there will never be ammo for them unless you find some with the weapon itself. Anyone hoping they continue to add weapons but in common calibers.
-
Are you mental ? LMGS and HMG are "sniper rifle" accurate man.far more accurate than assault rifles. One of the biggest factors due to their insane accuracy is their big weight and rigidity. A lmg is easier to put rounds on target at extended ranges easier than a Sniper rifle that is.
-
Anyone worried there will be too many ammo types ?
gibonez replied to gibonez's topic in General Discussion
I thought they already said there cannot be multiple different bullet types for a single weapon system Something about the game requires separate magazines for each bullet type or something. -
Think of it as a specialized weapon that you store at base once base building is around and then take out for laying down ambushes on the road. PKM and RPK make perfect sense for the game. PKM in particular has been so mass produced and its truly a work of art.
