Ryokashi 1 Posted June 15, 2012 YESAdds some challenge, makes makarovs actually have value, murdering new players is no longer a free way to replenish ammo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diwwah 9 Posted June 15, 2012 NO.Because it will be so much easier for geared people to grief players in the coast. Also there's a fine line between challenging and needlessly frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GameJeff100 1 Posted June 15, 2012 YESGive it a try I think it will add to the over all game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j.dade@hotmail.co.uk 0 Posted June 15, 2012 Rocket. This is a VERY VERY VERY nice idea and I would love it but It has one MASSIVE FALL.People would just camp the coast with weapons.BUT! Just make the spawns like 1km more inland and i'm sure that'll fix it right up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ag3nt Richt3r 19 Posted June 15, 2012 YESBut not on regular servers. New players need a chance to get their 'feet wet'. When somebody wants a real challenge they can go to the veteran servers and start with no gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keunus 0 Posted June 15, 2012 YES,I dont think coast farming Will be Much of a problem. Just make everybody spawn with only one can of beans, water and painkiller. And make finding ammo a bit harder. Somewan also said making people faster with no gun. All thos things together will make it not worth hunting on THE coast. To many words but what the F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThatGuyWithNoHands 0 Posted June 15, 2012 YesPeople spawning in can't quickly get into griefing. Only you'll be more easily hunted. Resulting in a lack of consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
logan23 118 Posted June 15, 2012 YESI see that Arma2 can have FOG as an effect like Rain. Just cast a decent amount of Fog that hangs all along the beach areas/ spawn areas.This will give new spawned players cover for a few meters before they leave the Fog area.Problem solved.

deanyo 1 Posted June 16, 2012 yes. either that or spawn with no medical supplies other than 1 bandage, and no more than 2 mags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlfalphaCat 66 Posted June 16, 2012 YESBut let us test the new zed behaviors first. Then if they are working as intended. DO IT!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skitz 0 Posted June 16, 2012 NoMaybe start with a lower caliber gun like a .22; make it take 2 head shots to kill players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueskin 5 Posted June 16, 2012 YESbut only if people spawn with nothing, its really easy to find your first food anyway, spawning with beans gives incentive to the bandits. Spawn with nothing and claw your survival from the jaws of death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissBehave 37 Posted June 16, 2012 NOUnless you provide more weapon drops and spawn points. People in real life could melee without gun. Arma can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hirox3 0 Posted June 16, 2012 I like the idea can we spawn with compass and flashlight etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
switch296 20 Posted June 16, 2012 I agree with the idea that flashlights should be put in the place of guns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoffdeath 43 Posted June 16, 2012 Don't think this is going far enough Rocket.What the bandits would really like is some fixed machine gun placements with unlimited ammo at the top of each beach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzaster 1 Posted June 16, 2012 YESBut only if there will be some kind of melee. (Just opportunity to punch/kick and to fight with knife/axe etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaseline 3 Posted June 16, 2012 I vote yes.Given the game is based in Russia. Its against the law, to own a handgun or full-auto weapon there. Be hard pressed to have a gun at home, that wasnt a hunting rifle.Even though...I own 2 handguns and a assault rifle at home. My 2 closest friends own fire arms as well. But this is in America.But painkillers nope, cept for booze or drugs.Then canned food, morphine, and canteen. I do not have at home. Canned food is bad for you. But id eat a human, if push came to shove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthaeus8 0 Posted June 16, 2012 YesIt Will Make It Harder Plus Hackers Will Be An Easy Spot But Doing THis You Will Need To Make Guns A Little Easier To Find Otherwise Perfect :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s0ulassassin 11 Posted June 16, 2012 NO, you're a sitting duck till you find a weapon and bandits will prey on people starting out more so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hexx (DayZ) 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Can you use the flashlight to blind/smash heads? No...? damn... Yes.try it for a while. but hell give us a canteen and some chow! map? compass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nonn 10 Posted June 17, 2012 YESHowever, Why not add another twist? How about a Flare gun with 6 rounds or less to replace your flares? Use it as a Utility or defensively, both with obvious consequences. AND No ammo spawns for it> :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
