Penalize Players That Run With Their Guns Out

[Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159]

I never run with my gun out. If a PvP issue arrises its pretty hard to control the gun anyway and its a sign of aggression. The best way to interact is you need to start the interaction on the right foot.

I like to interact with other players and I chose those interactions wisely. If they have a gun out, most of the time I head the other way. If I'm behind cover or can make contact at 30 meters or more safely I will, but its a gamble. Once you're less than 20 meters to someone you're basically dead if they chose to shoot you. Zig-zagging becomes obsolete at that range. 

Honestly, try running around with a rifle...you're going to get tired. Your arms are going to burn. In my younger years I was an athlete that competed on an amateur level, but trained on a professional level so I kinda know what I'm talking about.

Considering DayZ SA went through an EA release and Bandits dominated the landscape resulting in high levels of players getting shot on sight. A good way to bring SA to its original state is to penalize players that run with their guns/rifles out.

My proposal, make them run slower...

When the stamina system comes, hopefully running with weapon up will eat more stamina.
