    Best Weapon for a Hero?

    Gordon Freeman style!
  2. I was on an app called weave. It's a news app for windows phone. Saw a thread on Kotaku while I was on the app, and had to get it.
  3. AMD processor are terrible when paired with Arma 2.
  4. Easy. Make that survivor worth more than his gear by making DayZ harder.
  5. How bout we let this one slide?
  6. ​If you don't know what viewmodel means, then you probably shouldn't read this post as it will seen like gibberish. This has been bugging me for a long time. But I've always been too lazy to write it out until now. When I first started up Arma 2, my first thought was, "Wow, these weapon animations are terrible". Then someone told me that Arma 2 used the thirdperson weapon animations in first person. I must say, I was impressed. This system works great for a military-sim. But DayZ is a more mainstream game. (I'm basing this purely on the fact that DayZ has zombies in it... lol) Since DayZ occasionally sacrifices realism for gameplay, and it needs to look polished in the standalone, AND that shotguns need special reload animations, AND that making bolt action third person animations look pretty in first person would be practically impossible, I was thinking they could drop the third-person-animations-in-first-person thing. There are several advantages to both, so I will list them here so you can tell me what you think: View models: Advantages: It will be much easier to make bolt action animations, shotgun reload animations, and all around more realistic animations look good in first-person. It will be easy to change the "feel" of a weapon. Weapon models will look much better in first person. Disadvantages: Two separate animations for reloading and shooting will have to be made. It may seen odd to some people that weapon animations look different between first person and third person. Third person in first person system: Advantages: Only one animation for reload, shooting, etc. will have to be made. It might increase immersion. Disadvantages: It would be nearly impossible to make the weapon animations seen professional with this system. So tell what you guys think: Should we keep the current system, or should we use viewmodels?

    Grounded the little turd

    Are you on crack? Think about it... this kid is smart enough to know how to inject scripts straight into his game, and your telling me he can't tell the difference between right and wrong?

    Grounded the little turd

    It's not getting the job done that makes the world go 'round, it's getting the job done right. Let's say I'm studying to be a surgeon. I realize that I can't make the grade I need to pass. So I cheat to make it through. Now, whenever someone needs a surgery desperately, I can pull out my diploma and awards and make them think I know what I'm doing, but I can't actually perform the surgery because I cheated my way through med school. See how flawed your logic is?

    CZ550?

    I've never found one. Ever.

    Thankyou Battleye!

    I've only been killed by hackers once. However, I once ran into 12 (surprisingly friendly) hackers all at one time.

    DayZ Weapons - A Question?

    It depends. In America, it really depends on where you live. In more rural places, like, say, certain parts of Arkansas, you'd most likely find a hunting shotgun(long barreled, low capacity, and very accurate shotgun), or hunting rifle. But you'd also find crazy stuff in rural areas fairly easily(Ar 15's, 357 magnums, and extended mag shotguns). In cities, however, the most you'd find in a home is a self-defense pistol. As for ammo, in cities, practically none. In rural areas, you'd find enough to last several lifetimes.

    Standalone: Actual Mtn Dew Curse

    It's already in the game!
  14. I once had a moment like this... Except in my story, 12 hackers popped up and gave me stuff.
  15. Actually, hacks have been doing this stuff for a while... Sorry buddy, you tried to download a hack, now face the consequences. Inb4lock
  16. Oh heck yes... Now I can have a squirrel bite off a bandits face!!!

    explosive tip bolts

    I think it's CODBLOPS. But it might be a good craftable item.

    DayZ Concept Art

    We should be able to find lootable razors for the beard. Also, it be weird to see a female veteran. I wonder what her beard would look like!!!
  19. Oh no, that was just my tears of sadness for WP7. Carry on android\IOS\whateveryouuse.

    Spawn next to friends???

    Your expecting DayZ to mold to your ideas and wants. Well its not. You have to mold to DayZ.
  21. I hope you don't get flamed. This was hilarious.
  22. Idea: Captions for other players footsteps or gunshots. Idea #2: Add a "deaf mode" or something where surround sound is disabled, so that way you hear everything in one headphone or whatever.
  23. Still no love for windows phone. :(

    Eat them. Right next to a starving survivor. Kidding.
