I already told ya it has super unique ballistics for a pistol caliber. It slices through kevlar like butter, is super flat shooting and mil surp ammo is known for being ultra hot. None of the other pistol calibers offer that.

Pretty much. Throwing out insane hypotheticals trying to explain how in some strange and very obscure situations regular people would be hurt when in reality only server hoppers and people who loot in empty servers would be affected.

The game is set in current day. I really wish the game was set in 1991 right at the fall of the Soviet Union. The fall of the Soviet Union would lead to a really cool setting.

I thought it was confirmed both types of helicopter crashes would be included. As that would explain the mi8 crash sites. I really want to see how they handle explosives in the finished game. It will be interesting if they resort the explosives to being really rare or if like real life they are relatively common but instead they are balanced by their real life drawbacks.

Nothing at all is bad about restricting things when it benefits gameplay. Making there be risk involved when looting at all times only serves to help the game, you want gear then be at risk. If you want to loot in an empty server go ahead but it will take substancially longer since the loot spawns far far less.

People joining in. Better question is why should people be allowed to loot without risk on empty servers ? Especially in a world where you can share loot across the global servers and then just join a populated server. You see how this leads to bad gameplay right where it leads to a process of repetition ?

The main thing I see the 7.62x25mm bringing to the game is it allows for quite a few new weapons to be added to the game but these weapons would be unique in a sense that they would be no frills , no nonsense, non modular weapons. So far nearly every weapon in the game is extremely modular we need weapons that are not so modular to fill the bottom of the pool of common weapons in the game. Then the highly modular weapons such as the m4 that can fill any role needed and are have high power can fit the ultra high end. All these weapons fit that role of low tier, low modular guns something badly needed in the game thus as nearly every gun allows you to play dress up for some reason.

No of course they would. They would be adding a armor piercing round with a super flat trajectory. The 7.62x25mm round was pretty ahead of its time it makes pdw rounds look pathetic in comparison.

Of course he will benefit. A fresh spawn would have a better chance of gearing up in an full server. Getting shot is a possibility in a empty server or a full one nothing stops this. However the benefits of having loot spawn on populated servers helps combat many of the problems with gearing up in empty servers free of risk and then going to full servers to pvp.

It is a perfectly good rifle that makes sense in the game world. It will be made more valueable later on when the sks for instance is made far more rare and bolt guns , shotguns and other civilian weapons become far more common.

I really hope explosives are a big part of the game or at the very least they can potentially be a big part of the game all due to a in depth and complex crafting options. Booby traps need to be a big thing to ensure base defense and area denial. This is one of the reasons I actually would love to see a 60mm mortar of some kind in the game because the 60mm mortar rounds have so much crafting potential especially for roadside IEDs and or base defense laying wire or pressure sensitive detonators in areas heavily traveled by players. might be a better fit. Russian equivalent of the claymore the mon-50

How is that a problem ? Isn't it beneficial for people to join and play in populated servers ?

Yea and the mod was Arma 2 with zombies thus a heavy military focus not so much this time around.

Yea and as servers get more populated they spawn more loot.

Another potential solution is to simply not spawn loot on empty servers. Have a system where servers with low numbers spawn low loot and high count servers spawn far more loot. Making it pointless to jump on empty servers since no military loot spawns. Meanwhile server hopping heavily populated servers = death sentence.

Iconic weapon for sure. I would be ok for it being added so long as 1. It made sense and the weapon is wide spread in Use in western nations. 2. This replaced the m203 forcing the need for a standalone grenade launcher forcing people to choose if they want a nade launcher or an assault rifle. Would that be more common in Russia ?

.22 lr is substantially stronger than that. At 300m it still has way way way more than enough power to shoot right through a coconut. Penetrating a human skull and brain would not be a problem, penetrating a torso and hitting an organ would be even easier. Then again we can't judge the damage model yet in the game. It is super early and injuries aren't even in the game yet.

very true yet another reason why the public servers are such a mess. Private hives really seem like the only solution.

You guys are looking at the guns in that picture meanwhile I am eyeing all of the explosives on the bottom right corner. Really hope there is a good booby trap system in the future. The potential for explosives aiding in ambushes, base defense and random chaos is too good to ignore.

I agree. I really don't see a need for a limited amount of calibers unless of course there is a technical limitation in the hive restricting it of course. What I would ideally like to see is a few rifle calibers added not because of the weapons they would allow to be put in the game but instead because of their unique ballistics. Rounds such as .22-250 a round that is probably the fastest non wild cat rifle round made in factory ammo. The bloody round screams out of some rifles at near 5000 FPS. Or rounds like .243 a super flat shooting rifle round that is often time used in competitive long range matches due to its great long range properties and its ability to buck the wind. On the other side of the spectrum there are lots of cool high bullet drop high power big game rounds that would work at 100-400m dealing high damage but huge bullet drop. Rounds such as 9.3x64 popular in Eastern Nations and chambered inside of the SVDK.

That makes sense although I always assumed the a2 had a railed top once you removed the carry handle. I have always had a soft spot for the m16a2 something about the look just gets me worked up. The Canadian c7 rifle also has the same effect.

White Phosphorus grenade This little gem could be a great addition especially when dealing with entrenched players in troublesome areas. The grenade could emit nasty smoke that causes low damage over time and forces players to vacate a building in order to not die.

A matchmaking sort of solution towards regular non private hive servers is actually pretty smart. No control over what server you pick so you only get put on high volume servers would actually work. That is exactly the point. You also gotta ask yourself who would be put in potential situations like this ? 1. Server hoppers 2. People who for some reason joined 3 different servers in the spawn of 1 hour ? Group 1 is severely annoyed by this. Group 2 is rarely affected.

No m16a2 love ? That 3 round burst while the m4 remains full auto.

Yea I completely forgot about the revolver from the mod. That would fit. I truly hope there is not a technical restriction limiting multi caliber use in weapons but if there is I could imagine its a hard fix. 7.62x25 would be a fantastic addition not only because of the weapons it could bring but of course because of the rounds characteristics. The round is known for piercing through armor like butter and having insane muzzle velocities out of a pistol.
