Jello Jaw 11 Posted July 26, 2012 I had an idea with my cousin a few days ago and we were thinking "Hey wouldn't it be more realistic if in the country side by mountains, hills, etc that hawks circle dead bodies high in the air like they do in the country side in reality." So I brought the suggestion here. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has already mentioned it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjaholic 116 Posted July 26, 2012 Good idea. Birds should be attracted to corpses and should be startled by players. It would add realism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thedog88 180 Posted July 26, 2012 pretty good idea. it would also be nice to have random birds in the trees around cities to give away other players unless they remain motionless for a longer time. imagine a sniper on a hill starts engaging you in the city and you see a flock of birds leaving the trees on one hill. you could pinpoint the sniper better.

I shit myself to insta-prone and aimed at trees unders started birds since I started playing, fearing I'm being stalked by fucking ninjas all the time... Paranoid as hell because of it. Be nice if startled birds meant a player for a change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrAv1tY_sAnDvv1cH 1 Posted July 26, 2012 i'm pretty sure you meant crows. hawks are not scavangers. they hunt their pray. YES, I DO WATCH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you're being pedantic, as I think there's only one bird model and it's a generic model. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jello Jaw 11 Posted July 26, 2012 I live in the 'thumb' in MI don't tell me hawks don't eat carrion. I see them all the time circling and eating roadkill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zython (DayZ) 196 Posted July 26, 2012 It would have to be a bird native to Russia for super ulta realism, but yeah. And resting birds should be startled by players moving too quickly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cringlefringles 0 Posted July 28, 2012 well it woud be a nice hint to see dead bodys from further more distance, if birds keep crowding the place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
