Your problem....right there

Squad fights have a tendency to not be a battle of who can AltF4 the fastest Simply because you end up with multiple corpses to loot/guard, noone wants to abort in a firefight just so the enemy can loot his fallen comrade So far I've only had one 2vs6 where my friend and I basically struck a hornets nest of ghosting with a goddamn baseball bat It was like fighting ninjas, you saw one appear in a bush, engaged him, and away he went, just so he could reappear again in another location

have i got a new story for you
Hawk24 replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Check out the barn located on the most North Western corner of the map It's above the industrial complex where the Ural spawns Has a gas container and enough space to land safely Also you won't be bothered with unwanted guests, because nobody goes there anyway What you are doing right there is suicidal Refueling a helicopter at the coast is just stupid -
How do you protect your loot while logged off?
Hawk24 replied to spacecraft's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Don't put tents/vehicles at the border of the map....just...don't A walk along the map border is a safe way to find someones camp, simply because everyone does it Pick a nice forest in the middle of the map that is not located near hotspots like NWAF, Stary Sobor, Devils Castle, etc Find a group of trees that have thick leaves and are standing closely together, they conceal quite effectively Try to cover atleast 3 angles from which your vehicle can be seen Tents are easier because you only need 2 trees very close to eachother, put tent in the middle, success Don't mix well camouflaged vehicles like the V3S with obvious vehicles like the Ural Split your camp into two if needed We had our camp up for atleast 2 months It became quite large with 3 ATVs, 2 UAZs, 1 Ural, 1 V3S, 1 Motorbike, 5 tents Yet it remained unlooted....until the server admin decided to take the server down for good All our logistics gone with the push of a button Bottom line, always be prepared to loose your stuff -
I finally fixed my hung loading screens
Hawk24 replied to chris p. bacon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Seems like people these days can't figure out how to keep their game up-to-date, even with programs like DayZ Commander and Six Launcher they fail to install the latest patches I'm still using ArmA II Launcher v1.4.0 and everything runs fine All you have to do is keep the latest DayZ and Beta patch installed -
Bullet registry = Zero close combat in DayZ
Hawk24 replied to CerebralZombie (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Close combat in ArmA may always mean that both of you die in the end Just...don't get caught in a close quarter gunfight....really...that's all you can do -
Why are the AS50 and M107 in the game?
Hawk24 replied to scott24z's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Who cares? It's a sandbox Nobody is telling anyone how and against who he is supposed to use his weapon -
Why are the AS50 and M107 in the game?
Hawk24 replied to scott24z's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
DMR...only sniper that requires skill....DMR....only sniper that requires skill .... WHAT? It's 20 rounds of semi automatic fire with barely any recoil By the time my M107 shoots 2 rounds the DMR has shot 20 Tell me more about this skill that the DMR is supposed to require while having the highest effective RoF of all sniper rifles Bronies and firearm myths....they don't mix well It's a piece of metal at high speed passing by, not some magical death laser that destroys human tissue whenever it's fired Put a soda can down range, miss it by a few inches, the can won't even wobble According to your logic it would've been shredded Oh and what about paper targets? Why would a .50 BMG put 1/2 inch holes in a paper target and not just make it rip apart? I mean it "generates shock through the sound barrier" after all while passing through the target.....doesn't it? If it won't destroy a sheet of paper when passing through, it will not tear off limbs on a 2ft miss either... -
Why geared up players are hard to kill
Hawk24 replied to zmol's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I second the part with the group fights Those were the most fun battles I've had in DayZ so far Though I don't have as many issues with AltF4-players because of my .50cal -
http://arstechnica.c...s-and-counting/ http://www-bgr-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/apple-macdefender-investigation-may-16-2011-3110520121509.jpg Aaaaand that made me chuckle again Last time I checked 12gb of DDR3 RAM clocked at 1333mhz didn't cost me 300€ Actually I can get 16gb of DDR3 RAM clocked at 1600mhz for just under 80€ "OH but it's Mac RAM, 12gb @ 1333mhz is actually better than 16gb @ 1600mhz, so it's worth the money!" No resolution being mentioned No graphic settings being mentioned No frames/second being mentioned Yeah I can run Crysis 5 on 600x400 with everything on low at 10fps

Made me chuckle Also lol'd about every word starting with a capital letter

Why are the AS50 and M107 in the game?
Hawk24 replied to scott24z's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No, you said that people don't want to "learn how to use mildots and snipe with the M24 and DMR" Implying that the DMR actually requires more marksmanship at 500m than a M107 does at 1,2km "If rocket FIXED the alt + F4 problem duping, it wouldn't be an issue, would it?" Shooting people at close range with an AS50? Yeah I had a guy once that tried to do that, it ended with him being splattered all over the walls after my M203 HE hit the window he was shooting from Considering that I'm currently utilizing a legit M107, yes It's a tactical advantage that I gladly have in my backpack once things need to be taken care of beyond one kilometer -
Why are the AS50 and M107 in the game?
Hawk24 replied to scott24z's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Does anyone know what the fuck this guy is talking about? Both the M107 and AS50 have mildots, both require zeroing They work through the same long range mechanics that the M24 and DMR use Would you care to elaborate how having an AS50/M107 results in "CoD quick scopes"? -
How manny times have you died? (SIGH)
Hawk24 replied to grimsonfart's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
3 times in gun battle 2 times through vehicle-related accidents 2 times through joining the server and dying instantly, went back, grabbed my equip and moved on -
Why are the AS50 and M107 in the game?
Hawk24 replied to scott24z's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Explain to me how dealing a lot of damage results in a god mode for the one wielding the sniper rifle Flank him, rush him, spray him People should learn basic counter sniping instead of crying in the forums -
We need the old KSK Soldier outfit back, it looked way more badass than this half-hearted re-skin

Why are the AS50 and M107 in the game?
Hawk24 replied to scott24z's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
LMAO, it's not like Cherno is surrounded by hills from where you can easily countersnipe 2 amateurs on a building And why the fuck were you in Cherno, while having a Coyote Backpack and a silenced M4 carbine, in the first place? -
Im becoming a bandit, without wanting to become one...
Hawk24 replied to grimsonfart's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Get some bloody common sense, will ya? -
all of you who says that bandit skin = terrorist
Hawk24 replied to Pinkkifantti's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming! Again, the keffiyeh is part of the German KSK Soldier outfit -

Zombie speed was actually nerfed with the last patch....would you care to elaborate how the current speed equals 90.000 mp/h?
-
You're a moron because right in the title you talk about DayZ being equal to Call of Duty That basically invalidates your whole post, I didn't bother to read it
-
You needed a wall of text of THAT size to show that you're a moron? Lolwut?
-
all of you who says that bandit skin = terrorist
Hawk24 replied to Pinkkifantti's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm pretty sure that's the "rag head" from the glorious German SKS Soldier.... By bringing up any other point than that to counter the "terrorist" claim is a failure in itself -
OP is the worst kind of carebear I have ever encountered Not only does he propose a BS system to punish bandits, he also admits to using AltF4 to save his sorry ass Oh god, I hope you don't breed
