What happened to the AK?

[Cap'n (DayZ) 1827]

I remember a Q&A where Rocket stated that the only two available guns on release were the Mosin and M4A1, and a pistol. But that leaves a question that needs an answer. What happened to the AK we've been seeing for the past few months (and devblogs)? You had the model for it, and even some attachments. Why was it removed?

[Max Planck 7174]

It was a placeholder. The first gun that was added with the new modular system was the M4.

[fluxley 2228]

Plus that list from rocket was just the 100% confirmed guns, there still could be other weapons by the time it gets released.

MOSIN NAGANT HELL YEAH WHO CARES ABOUT THE AK

[meat pie 632]

Wait what the fuck rocket is going to sell the game with 3 guns?

 

so we are going to wait all this time and standalone is going to come out with 3 guns more places for loot to spawn and more clothes

 

awsome......just awsome 

 

Edit;oh and we wait all this time and its only coming out as a alpha!!! wtf I thougt this mod was the alpha!!!

 

If its hard to tell this is a joke that way no one will get the wrong Idea and call me names

The AK isn't fully ready at this moment I guess. Somehow I doubt the standalone will come out with only two rifles, I assume those are just the ones completely ready at the time he made the post.

No, you muppet.

When the game releases it'll have lots of guns. The (entirely optional) paid-for open alpha testing phase will not.

Ahh... I can't tell these days.

ya some people these days are just silly and want everything right now in AAA condition,but now adays even AAA games are not AAA.

 

much less some random indie mod that is free and makes no money out side of what ever they are getting from the arma guys.

I'm sorry, but I know it will be an alpha and all, but if he releases this game with a pathetic amount of rifles, and vanilla arma sounds, all my hope, and support for the SA is gone.

There is the actual game release. This is what you need.

Then, there is the open alpha. You probably don't need this.

 

The alpha will be a bug-ridden, barebones experience with arma sounds and few rifles.

It will improve over time with feedback from the testers.

My advice: Wait until the game is finished, read reviews, then make your decision.

Don't purchase the game on early access. Wait for the full release.

That would be the greatest and funniest troll move ever. Dayz with three guns and tons of melee weapons. Dean always talks about ways to reduce pvp and increase survival. That move would definitely accomplish his goal.

Yeah, all I'm saying is this game has been in development for over a year, so I'm starting to wonder what they have actually been doing all this time if they're only releasing an alpha with 2 guns and shitty arma sounds.

Yeah, they probably have been just goofing off.

You're acting like they fucked off to climb Everest or something.

 

 

Ooh...

[terrvik 2409]

shitty arma sounds.

 

I guess game developers work the same way as movie producers/directors do when it comes to sound: you add it in post production when you know for sure what sounds are needed. For example; very rarely in the movie industry a composer is on board from the very start of a production and it would make sense if it works the same way when it comes to developing games.

Because many highly functional, bug free, innovative, AAA games get release in under a year, like our favorite game Call of Duty!

I'm not asking for a perfect game, I'm asking for an early alpha with at least a bit of substance.

You're acting like they haven't done anything because there isn't a hundred guns in the game yet, when in reality most of the work is probably put into fixing up a lot of the issues with the Arma II engine, reworking the AI and polishing it, which is pretty much all backend stuff you won't be able to see from a screenshot. Unless they are doing guns wrong, it should be pretty much tedious C&P work to add new ones anyway.

To each their own. I'd rather not play an alpha with 2 guns. That's all I'm saying.

Then don't, but also don't act like literally nothing has been done because they'd rather actually do something more productive than C&P weapon classes and add different models.
