Unless you mean reducing the rarity of .50 cal and high end sniper rifles overall, then I agree that high end guns should be less common than they are right now. I prefer alot of weapons over other weapons, that doesn't mean I walk around with an M4 CCO SD all the time... If you compare the amount of people with AS50 you meet compared to people with SVD Camo/M4 CCO SD/FN FAL/M14/L85 AWS you'll notice how many more AS50s there are... it's quite ridicolous and has nothing to do with what's prefered. The sniper is supposed to be the best sniper (and it sure is), it should be much rarer than it is. Then again, with the current duping it's impossible to make it less common (kind of), thus I hate it atm  ... | ||

It is designed for vehicles so of course it kills in 1 hit. A 50.cal sniper rifle hits bone irl you are pretty much dead do to the shockwave and tumble. T We are talking guns and guns aren't designed to be balanced and since this uses Arma as its engine its still not designed to be balanced. There is a big thread on the official forums about people complaining about 50.cals I don't understand why. Its the best in the game there is always a best in a game. 8000 damage is nothing to sneeze at either since you only have 12000 blood your pretty much dead if you get shot with a DMR so its not really different. I just don't think because you have to shoot someone 2 times means you are more skilled because you shot them with a DMR. Sorry for rant been spending to much time on official forums I guess. I just don't understand how people can hate on the AS50 just because its 1 hit kill and low recoil. Thats what its designed to have irl. To be far the SVD camo is the easiest gun sniper to range in the game if you are playing on a server that doesn't have scroll wheel range finder. The SVD downside is it has no Zoom. Making the DMR and M24 superior imo. I don't see how RL has anything to do with DayZ. It's a game with simulation elements, realism isn't an argument to put something in. Morphine heals bone fractures in this game, is that realistic? Even so, the .50 cal snipers and the L85 aren't realistic anyway. You don't casually stand up and make a 1000m shot in poor weather conditions.. The reason I don't like those weapons in the game is because they trivialize it. The limitations of the other weapons are what makes them interesting. DayZ is all about the unexpected. If you engage someone at medium range with assault rifles it's not trivial to kill them, which leaves room for the targets to react and the fight to play out in a lot of different ways. With an AS50 you see them, you shoot them and that's it. It's easy to always have a situation under control. People like that because it lets them feel comfortable, but DayZ isn't about being in comfortable positions. The L85 is even worse, it should be obvious to anyone why it doesn't belong in the game and don't even get me started on the realism of that one. | ||

Reading over your post and previous posts it just seems like you are just trying to look for "holes" in peoples arguments. Rocket has come out and already said he wants DayZ to simulate real combat situations. Judging by your vast knowledge of combat, this makes me think you are completely incompetent. With our current technology 1000m shot difficulty is massively reduced in difficulty. Matter of fact there are things that exsist that make the L85's scope look like trash. Such as the Ring Sights,Tube Sights,OEG Sights.... .50 cal round at its inception was designed to take down targets with one round. Doesn't matter the distance you get shot from its still a .50 cal round. There are .50 cal rifles that are designed to snipe the crew out of a tank and which has been done in the past. Point is Rocket intended the game/mod to simulate IRL combat period. No further discussion needed. Game is far from complete and is currently being destroyed by hackers ruining peoples experiences. Educate yourself a bit more by reading further into what your trying to say. Just seeking out arguments is like arguing why is bread cut a certain way. Lastly, please take this argument and yourself elsewhere as you are derailing the thread. | ||

I was talking about how they should implement multiple skins on ts like a month ago xD glad they came to the same conclusion, that should make it a lot easier to identify the baddies. so is the final "level" of banditry the old bandit skin or is there a new one? | ||

I think that shows "bandits" then there is a new one for "good guys" and one for neutral. Also the respawn button if used twice in ten minutes it will put an empty untrowable tin can in your inventory, to discourage respawn gaming | ||
