More military-grade weaponry

[DURRHUNTER 597]

 

 this game is modeled after real life places... Google it

 

Im aware. But it is set in Post-Soviet Russia in the country of Takistan (fake)

Lol no.....

Takistan is Takistan and Chernarus is Chernarus mate, its two completely different maps for Arma II, one is set in a post-soviet scenario (Chernarus) and the other one is more of a middle eastern scenario (Takistan)

Heres a map of Takistan from Arma II:

 

 

Back on topic:

Hmm, no thanks.

If we are gonna get any kind of "big-ass-rifles" it should be russian ONLY.

None of this American "crap" belongs in Chernarus and the only reason we had it in the mod, is well.... Chernarus got invaded by the American and British troops in Arma II, so we kinda had nothing else tbh.

 

Would rather take every single weapon on this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_weaponry

And use it, rather then seing people running around with G36's and P90...

Cmon, we really want this game to be at least somewhat believable right?

Yay more Battlefield and CoD kiddies that want high tech guns in a piss poor make believe soviet satellite country.

okay wiseguy, could you please explain to me what the M4A1 is doing in chernarus then? after all it is a high-tech military-grade firearm from the united states -- all three aspects do NOT suit the post-apocalyptic horror survival setting in a post-soviet country at all

 

would be delighted to know what explanations you guys come up with for this

 

 

I'm sure, being a development studio that has specialised in military simulation games, that the last thing Bohemia need is advice on what guns to add to the game. I'm pretty sure if they have one avenue covered, it's the military side of this game.

then they haven't really done a great job on this, in my eyes. the standalone so far has less guns than the mod, and the devs shouldn't underestimate this topic. after all, seeing that "new weapons" threads literally pop up every day on these forums must be a sign many people would like to have new guns to play around with in this game

• Chernarus is modelled on a region in the Czech Republic.There are no fewer than 40 US military installations alone within 500 miles of this region.
• In Arma II, the US invaded Chernarus. If the lore of DayZ follows on from it's parent game, these weapons would be everywhere
• The guy known as "FPSRussia" probably has about a thousand of these. Maybe he moved to Chernarus? :D

Patience, my young padowan. You'll see plenty more weapons when the next development cycle comes around to such thing. You missed my point entirely; The addition of more weapons is sadly inevitable, despite your sense of urgency that a game which will not actually be released until 2015 at the earliest should be finished already. Sit back and relax, this is one topic that Bohemia know all about.

Please do not double post. You already posted this on the Community's Weapon Suggestion List already once and I replied to it. Save yourself the trouble next time..

Dude...  The game is about a bloody zombie apocalypse...  and what's making you "not believe it" is weapons from all over the world?  Really?!!  You're grasping at straws here dude...  Furthermore, what's to say that chernarus is not the centerpoint of this hypothetical "beleviable" lol, zombie shit storm resulting in nations from all over the world getting involved?  Regardles, it far easier to hypothisize a beleivable scenario in which nato weapons end up in former soviet russia than it is to do so with zombies...

I'm not sure what's more annoying...  A double post?  Or some wanabe moderator forum hero complaining at people about double posting...  Actually, it's not a hard decission at all, as the latter has not discussed anything that pertains to the topic within this thread....

...Buddy. I suggest you don't start up an argument with me currently. I try to help others out and yes I do sound like a moderator. Gave him a helpful suggestion for future posts he may make. Please think before you post.

I think that the majority of those weapons on the OP's list are a little over the top. I would expect to find a mostly Ak vaiants, Ak-47, AK-74, and the AKM... maybe even that new one that never actually made general issue. Makarovs would probably be in abundance. I think that the SKS and the Mosin are also pretty realistic as they are used for ceremony and probably would have as surplus weapons. I'm not so certain about seeing so many M4's.

Medium rarity - We could probably expect to find a dragunov here and there in all reality. bizon's and pp-2000's were issued to police more regularly than we might expect in the west, so I would think finding them wouldn't be too terribly uncommon, especially in the new police stations. I would also expect to see the FAL seeing as how popular it was in that entire region, although I would question its rarity and how plentiful the ammo would be. Side note: It uses the 7.62x51mm round, which currently is mis-labeled in game for the Mosin, which is actually a 7.62x54R round. Another interesting note is that 762x51mm and .308 are considered close enough so that .308's can be used in a 7.62x51mm rifle and be safe, even though .308's typically are loaded at higher pressures.

very rare - Russian military liked/likes the 12.7x108mm cartridge and uses it in a couple different sniper weapons. the OSV-96 and the KSVK are the main one's, but I have no idea who would in all reality have those weapons. I don't think they were any where near mass-issued. That round they use those is considered a pretty good all around caliber and is used in heavy machine guns as well by other forces. In all reality they may just still use Dragunovs. Low-budget militaries and stand-ups are still using those heavily today.. side note - dragunovs also use the same cartridge as mosin-nagants (bonus!)

Of course you could add a good deal of realistic stuff to the very rare list, but considering their rarity of use, ammo could be an issue, except for maybe the AK-variants and the sub mg's which tend to share only a few different cartridge types. I would want something with plentiful ammo and wouldn't consider finding a "rare" gun to be much of a find. It would be cool for something different. but I don't think the list would be all that large.

getting bored of writing... must stop now.

edit: I am by no means a Russian/Eastern military expert. These are all my opinions based on a lot of reading and some military experience. Feel free to counter if you want to carry on, but flaming will not be entertained. I am merely trying to be informative for those who like a little actual fact along with said opinions.

You may think you are funny but what you are really doing is making an ass out of yourself in front of all of these people. And all that happened was me putting a helpful suggestion out to the OP causing you to post random, worthless, and meaningless comments back at me for doing so. You want to be noted as an ass? So be it then.

You couple people are in no way contributing to this thread. It may not have a ton of depth or overall impact, but your derailments are childish and distracting. I have never felt the need to report anyone, but for you sirs, I make the exception. Please refrain from your little slap fight in this thread so that we may continue our discussion.

Thank you.

[alexeistukov 272]

...I'm just going to let this go as seeing that it is going to lead to yet another worthless endless argument that does not need to exist on a great forum site like this. I bid you a good day and I will leave it at that

I ended the argument as seeing that it is going to lead to nothing already. There was nothing childish about what I was doing to defend myself either. Thank you for replying.

[alexeistukov 272]

Weapons like the Scar-H are used by US Special Forces on some occasions.. although I do not think it would of been used in an enviorment like Chenarus. And please no FN-FAILs lol.

As i see it, its far more "believable" we find Russian weapons, in a post soviet state, then american weapons.

Just as you will find more russian weapons in russian....

How do you know the "zombie shit storm" is localized to Chernarus anyway?

For all we know American could be more fucked then this place, and in no situation to send help.

 

And yes im using "believable" here, as its the only damn thing that sets DayZ aside from every other zombie shooter, ever made. It feels like it could actually happen, the game is "believable!".

[Karakoz 141]

I don't want more weapons. This is Dayz, not Arma. There should be less guns and ammo, less food, more craftable items and weapons.
