Sutinen 635 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't it be cool to have something like this? It would need new animations, but it would be totally worth it.It would have a few advantages over the crossbow, but obviously a few disadvantages:The bow is lighter, faster (Takes some time to practice, but it's a damn game) , much more silent and simpler, so if repairing becomes a part of the standalone, it would be faster to fix (Well, unless the string or the bow breaks in half). It also might be harder to aim with.The crossbow acts more like a rifle, so it's easy to aim and fire. And you also have it loaded all the time, so in some situations it can be a lifesaver. In standalone, it's also coming with a scope, so that's a pretty huge advantage. Edited October 22, 2012 by Sutinen 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Pretty sure Rocket said he would like add a bow (has mentioned it a couple of times now I believe), along with the new new crossbow pictured below. Edited October 22, 2012 by smasht_AU 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DireMickey 2 Posted October 22, 2012 yeah a bow would be sick even if its really loud ide still take one at any chance i got hahaha would just be sick to walk around stalking people/zombies :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airman (DayZ) 10 Posted October 22, 2012 I think it would be really cool to see things like bows buffed a tonne in the standalone. Things like this should be more common, as opposed to the Lee Enfield or AK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kebman 213 Posted October 22, 2012 Nice! Will he add deers as well? Nothing like going deer hunting with a bow... I've heard! Also, what's with all the "Deer Stands" and no deers? Also, what's with all the driving, and nobody crashing into a deer? I like deers, ok? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dickhat 99 Posted October 22, 2012 God I love crossbows. I really hope there may be even 2 or 3 kinds of crossbow. Maybe a military grade one and a normal wooden one.Compound and normal variations would be awesome too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faceman Peck 93 Posted October 22, 2012 I see no one using search functions still around here. Not like this idea is original or anything.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sutinen 635 Posted October 22, 2012 I see no one using search functions still around here. Not like this idea is original or anything....Oh man, here we go.I swear to god I used the search function on the suggestion forum by writing "bow" in there. No threads popped up, because no-one had tagged it. Are you happy now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
