Add Martial Arts fighting to the DayZ SA?

[ResidentEvil 12]

Wouldn't it be really cool if you could fight zombies with your martial arts talents? You can use combos like in Tekken and kill zombies with a neck twist or pull their head off to kill them. Maybe it's a stupid suggestion but I think it's pretty cool. The military train in martial arts. Marines train in MCMAP, Spetsnaz train in Systema, and the Israeli army train in Krav Maga.

No, just... no.

@ ResidentEvil

You are absolutely full of bright suggestions.

As from now on put all of your ideas into one Topic and update as needed.

Thanks. Will do.

Will the zombies be able to use kungfu too? :ph34r:

[catweazle (DayZ) 28]

Simple punching would be nice. Just throwing jabs would be possible I think.

Or Hoppers that are Tackling you. Crawlers grabbing your feet and the rest could just throw punches or try to grab you for eating.

More would not be good. People would win encounters simply by smashing their keys to do Kung-Fu moves.

...but it may be interesting for a future DayZ 3D with Kinect :D

Simple punching actually sounds like a really good idea. It's more realistic.

[Sutinen 635]

I cry tears.. TEARS everytime someone suggests snapping necks and choking people. Now you took it to another level, Tekken style combos and pulling heads off.

Sounds too good, can't wait for you to do that while your facing bloodthirsty zombies and armed bandits. (The point was, the DayZ players aren't Jason Bournes who have black belts and have gone trough some military training. Well, some are in real-life, but let's just say the guy you are playing is hasn't.)

The thing about Dayz is that * "You don't get killed by ( some douche ) because he's 10 levels higher than you, it's because he has a gun, and you don't". If we give people martial arts, the art of spawning, killing people with hatchets/makarovs until you get high end loot or die, will increase tenfold. Cherno would have to be called a "Dojo"

if it allows oneself to chop wood, meat and perform lightning fast strikes then i totally agree with this idea. I believe adding this feature will revolutionise this game.

[DiazWaffleCrabstro 39]

Love how some people dismiss the use of their own body as a weapon, :D i bet they would get trampled on in a riot... also if they ever go to jail, i have an advice for them, :S Dont drop the soap.

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

It's that time of year when they release those people back into the community, clearly this suggestion needs locking back up!

No, what next? Guest appearance from Scorpion and Balrog?

This is an interesting topic/idea....

From what i know, Arma2 doesn't have these type of animations and if placed it then you would have to test for many possible collision player to player to environment. Don't want to being doing choke hold but now your character is clipping the wall.

Players are not going to be trained in high end martial arts combat since the Player character is a " Could be anybody/ average person"

I do believe we will some form of fist to fist combat but it will be basic, no kung fu movie style.

As for the Idea of using a choke hold on an Infected.....good luck with that.

You will be killed. the Infected are humans on steroids since they feel no pain and run on a rabid like behavior, choking them is just giving the Infected a chance to bite into your arm.

The Infected would be fine with getting its neck broken or disc misplaced in order to get to the player who is chocking them.

the best you can do with fist to an Infected is stepping on the head of a crawler with a industrial boot or pushing them away. You can't punch your way against the Infected.

It would be nice if you could push zombies and players away, like a shove or a punch.

It wouldn't be very useful, but at least you could defend yourself feebly.

It'd be like Left 4 Dead's shove function. Almost impossible to defend yourself in a horde situation, but useful to push back that ONE zombie from punching/biting you. It could have a cooldown mechanic too.

[logan23 118]

Actually you could have the system tied to the Stamina Bar.

This means the player will have to decide to use the Stamina for running or to use the last of it to push off Infected.

This would take the place of a cooldown mechanic, plus players will not over use the pushing of unlimited times since one your Stamina is gone,...you can't push since your tired/exhausted.

Pushing using a melee weapon give a better chance then say with your bare hands.?

[Happymrsnowman 52]

^ Good idea. Pushing with a melee weapon would deal more damage too, since more of a chance to hit them with the pointy bits.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Kicking and punching seems fine (if only to give you a chance to get away), but Chuck Norris style reverse snap kicks sending zombie heads flying....no thanks

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Or off a cliff?

Do zombie legs break after a 1 meter fall? I'd love to lure them up,the steps of the big metal sheds and push!

[logan23 118]

Both using a melee or hands to push should use up the same amount of Stamina, but the melee weapon push has a better chance of pushing away the Infected vs the hands can but more likely if you succeed- you still will get hurt in some fashion.

They could add a submission system like in ufc 3.Also get Joe Rogan commentating.
