Aiming in this game

[Jämes]

Hey so I bought the game 2 days ago and noticed that there is no option for hold to ads? Is that true? 90% of fps players use hold to ads and this game doesn’t even have the option to change it?

You can toggle ADS, just click RMB instead of holding.

Basically:

• Hold right mouse button to raise weapon, middle mouse to ADS, scroll wheel to shift between scope/ironsights when you can.
  
• Click right mouse button to toggle ADS immediately without first raising weapon. Tap middle mouse to then leave ADS while still having raise toggled. I'm not sure this is intended, but it works.

[WTF?]

First mistake: This is not an FPS

Still remains a shooter though, and it should have the option for the most popular way of ads which is HOLD

No arma game has ever had the option for Hold ads. Bohemia seems to not do that.

This is not a shooter, I have not had any reason to shoot at anyone in over 700 hrs of play. If you are looking for a shooter you are in the wrong place. In fact, for the last 300 hrs or so I have played this game without any firearm, just a spade, a knife and a hatched. Most kiddies spend hours upon hours aimlessly running around searching for weapons they think might increase the size of their p3n!s, it's pity full. Play the game like it's meant to be played, you might discover something.

So true... it's indeed a survival game and NOT an FPS.

That’s a stupid answer, the gun is there for a reason, if you ever played more than some hours in a server you need a base for ur stuff so what happens when they come to raid ur base? You gonna defend with ur steak knife? Also what happens when you reach the high tier loot where all the players are looking for it? Again you gonna defend yourself with a steak knife? Sorry to tell you but if ur a hardcore survival a gun is a MUST have, so probably ur 700 hours you say you played with not having a gun are probably running around near the coast looting food and water, probably dying and then starting all over again or you play in a dead server with like 2-3 players

There is a huge difference to fighting (with guns or any other weapon) to defend yourself and actively seeking out other players just to shoot at them. That is basically what they mean. The game is meant to be played as a survival sandbox game, meaning there are no rules and no limitations. We can shoot at each other, that doesn't mean we have to. That is why many standard features from other shooters are missing from DayZ. There are no kill feeds or leaderboards, killing as many players as you can before you get nailed is not the objective. You are perfectly free to play it like that - many do, obviously - but don't expect the developers to cater to that play style.

I agree to what you say but that’s obviously what the other guy said, he said if ur looking for shooting ur in the wrong place and I just explained him why that was a stupid answer

That's the beautiful thing about Dayz...I usually roll with a friend who is always itching to shoot players, where I am more of a "if you shoot at me I'll shoot back" player. We have constant debate over whether or not to engage players...because I prefer to talk with them first. The other day we were driving along the coast in a Jeep and we saw a new spawn...and I just stopped and talked with him for a minute, asked if he needed a ride, and then just carried on our way. My buddy was annoyed because he wanted to get out and shoot him...but there was actually no need to do so. I love how this game has a sense of morality to it...and it's a dam video game. Some of the best moments in game have nothing to do with gun play. So yes and no...it's a shooter, but more so it's an experience. I love this game and it's mainly got nothing to do with shooting players.

simple answer: It is not in the scope of the game. There
