Any gun is better than no gun   there is no " best"  if you hit them in the head they die from 1 shot. allways

Hi!

I like rifles like the lee enfiled, winchester etc
although ive only found 1 in the hole time ive been playing it...

[Zyrdek]

Strangely the winchester 1866 is a shotgun in DayZ, in reality it was a rifle but in game it is a shotgun that fires slugs... still a great gun though, makes such a nice sound when fired.

Currently the requirements for DayZ are slightly higher than the minimum specs for ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead;

The minimum specs are as follows;

• OS: Windows XP or Windows Vista
  
• Processor: Intel Core 2.4 GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz
  
• Memory: 1GB
  
• Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 8600GT or ATI Radeon 3650 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM
  
• DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c
  
• Hard Drive: 10 GB free space

The recommended specs are;

• OS: Windows 7
  
• Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster
  
• Memory: 2GB
  
• Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM
  
• DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c
  
• Hard Drive: 20 GB free space

So even at the lowest end of the spectrum you need a pretty good computer just to get it running at the lowest graphical settings though you do need closer to the recommended as DayZ puts a lot more stress on the processor so a good 3Ghz quad core will help out big time. If you are still not sure if you can run it go to 'Can You Run It?' and find ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead from the drop down and click the 'Can You Run It?' button. Any dialogue message that comes up agree to it and the site will scan your hardware and tell you how well you can run it, if you can run it at all.

To get the mod running you need to buy ArmA II: Combined Operations which gets you ArmA II and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead both of these are required. I would also suggest getting it through Steam if possible as installing the mod through that version is easier. Though first things first make sure you can run it as there is nothing worse than throwing down £25 ($30) for ArmA II: Combined Operations just to find out you can't run it..

Best gun is M16 with ACOG... can take long shots, semi, magnification and rounds are decently easy to find.
The MP5 SD is cool too but aiming in is a pain and finding ammo can be difficult also.... another great is the camouflaged M4 SD with Aimpoint but it is so hard to find I can't say it's the best.
The series is ok, boring at times really. I stay for the Minecraft though.

It looks fun; but it also seems like much of it would be wondering around in the forest. Ill need to play it before I can give an honest review.

[Malkuth]

walking in forests? I dont know what you´re talking about here! [ sarcasm  = off ]

Most of it is wandering around a forest? More like running around in a forest trying to get away from the zombies that are furiously trying to chew on your flesh. You found the zombies in one of the cities, if you didn't already realise that. Well, zombies are chasing you, you probably should start running again.

I spend about 2% of the game in forests the rest of my time is split doing the following;

• Running up and down hills.
  
• Running across roads.
  
• Following power cables to cities.
  
• Paddling in lakes.
  
• Storming barns while being 60x more tactical and strategic than necessary.. In case there is player in there.
  
• Looting the apartments in Cherno while shouting "friendly in cherno" over direct chat just so people know I'm there.
  
• Giving people aid only to get shot in return, they are so lovely when they do that. I take it as a thank you.
  
• Using random players as sniper practice just to watch them panic when I invariably miss.
  
• Training zombies onto the one lone survivor lying down in a field, seriously guys it's funny to do. (try it)
  
• Running around like a mad man with a hatchet. Surprisingly more effective that it sounds I die less doing this.

Those are just some of things I do instead of wandering around a forest. I would like other forest wanderers to do the same. Spice the game up a bit especially while it is in alpha and you have as much chance of getting killed by a bug than a player or zombie, just enjoy your time in the game by doing crazy things occasionally. It's what I do and the mod is better as a result.
