Will ammo now start being valuable?

[vitdom 56]

Am I missing something here? what infinite ammo glitch? ._.

Relog, change clothes, convert magazines etc. and you have full ammunition magazines again.

This will be fixed in the next patch.

How is the ammunition spawn balance in the new patch, which is now one of the most important aspects of the mod, since the ammunition count saving issue has been resolved. Is it unchanged?

The fix is certainly going to enrich gameplay in all aspects, but I recon there will be negative side effects. If all players now have UNLIMITED --> LIMITED ammunition. E.g. a lot more people are going to look into hacking, and the (subtle, stealthy) hackers that are still in there, are going to be even more of a considerable impact to the rest.

Will this make people even more prone into killing other players, because they need to fight over ammunition, resupply and increased looting at military installations and cities? Or will people start to team up more in order to not waste bullets?

People disconnecting in fights is still a problem. Is it worth to waste bullets on players who then disconnects? When this thought crosses the experienced bandit's mind, I don't think he will fire in >20% of the cases.

My concluding thought is that this will greatly enhance gameplay, but will also enhance and escalate the concurrent problems of abusers within the mod and the community. Keep this in mind, and be ready for the consequences! (the problems can probably not be endured anymore)

Personally, I would like to see ammo separated from magazines. So, you would have to find boxes of ammo and find the proper magazines in order to use your weapon. (As well as having the ammo of a limited nature.)

This. No more looking at a DMR mag and wondering why I can't stuff those rounds into my FAL. If they can miraculously switch into m24 rounds, they sure as heck can swap into FAL.

I already play without doing stupid exploiting shit (on purpose), because I can control myself.

This won't change jack-shit-squat for me.

I already use my M14 on zombies... DMR ammo is so fucking common

I am pretty happy this happening, before I didn't care much for ammo, I thought I was good with 3 mags and if I have less than 10 shots I would reload and use another mag. Now that this is happening I can't do that. Now every shot counts, good thing I am a sniper so I am more precise anyways.

I dunno, i have a feeling that scripters will be scripters, and that the people who haven't actively gone that route already probably won't do it at all. Or?
