Sound Emitters

[SepticTank 1]

We've all heard or seen the infamous "fart machine," and the laughter or sighs of disapproval it brings. We hunters have purchased or read information about "wildlife sound boxes." Much like these two devices, I'd like to see sound emitters that mimic gunfire from various weapons as well. I do believe that if added to the game, these would introduce a new level of fear, wonder, skepticism, or surprise. Keep in mind, I'd like to have a small amount of "mosquito noise" included with the sound files, so that veteran DayZ players could distinguish between actual gunfire and those produced by these noise boxes.

While some of you may think this is ridiculous, I charge you to take a step back so to speak, and ponder on the employment opportunities these items would have (use not workforce, smart-arses.)

Imagine a group of 3-6 people performing reconnaissance at NWA, Stary Sobor, Zelengorsk, or any other major city. They later begin moving throughout the various buildings therein. Now consider overwatch, or his/her rear-guard observing another group moving to your position or mission objective; he instantly triggers the noise box to produce sound from their rear or left/right flanks, the group takes cover, and overwatch begins suppressive fire.

This has given your main body (largest of your groups) enough time to re-group, re-position, and begin using fire and maneuver to eliminate the enemy targets.

Congratulations, you have now just successfully used diversionary tactics to minimize the amount of people needed to "pin down" enemy groups, without consuming a medium, or large amount of collective munitions supplies.

HOW TO PLACE:

Exactly like satchel charges, ied's, and other triggered devices in the Arma 2 "vanilla" game.

HOW TO TRIGGER:

Again, like items in "vanilla" Arma 2.

AMOUNT OF USES:

5-10, somewhat like rounds in magazines. Or perhaps have a fixed amount of time/ONE USE ONLY (1-2 minutes with a fixed rate of fire.)

MAXIMUM TRANSMITTING RANGE for REMOTE:

300-600 meters.

SPAWN PERCENTAGE:

On level with SVD Camo, M107, L85 (I'd want some people to have them, but not EVERYONE.)

SPAWN LOCATION:

Deer Stands/Blinds, Barracks, and Military Tents.

AGGRO RANGE:

300-600 meters

I welcome all viewers to discuss this subject, but please keep it classy ladies and gentlemen.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, if possible, have 5-10 variations of these noise boxes. What I mean by "variations" is certain types of weapons. For example, M4A1, AS50, M240, AK74U, etc.

This should also draw zombies to the noise, much like smoke grenades or tin cans.

Hmmm, pretty sure there's a forum rule about "bumping," but I'd like to see other peoples' opinions of what I've suggested.

Interesting... doesn't really fit the low tech environment for me, however.

It would definitely be something to behold, if they included it in the game.

I'd imagine there would be some griefers, that have satchel charges, placing it atop a building just to lure other players up to it....and then....BOOOOM.

Honestly though, seeing someone sail through the air from a fiery explosion is at the top of my "DayZ Must See List."
