Just started playing - got some questions

Hello. Heres some info I'd like to give you. I think vanilla = the normal dayz hive mod. DayZ origins is a version of the mod. You can download all of these on something like DayZ commander. To get the hero skin, you need to be friendly by bandaging people, giving them blood transfusions, etc. Its a lot harder to get then the simple bandit skin, but its pretty cool and it lowers the possibility of you getting shot on sight. As for building vehicles, thats dayz origin only. -
I have an M107 in my inventory, when I join the game with the new update what will happen?
carbine781 (DayZ) replied to Cossilio's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hmm based on the fact that i randomly found a boat in the middle of a field yesterday, seems legit. Just another normal day in the DayZ world. -
How The 1.7.7 Update Completely Changes Banditry
carbine781 (DayZ) replied to carbine781 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I don't agree with the fact that people will abandon DayZ. Before, when DayZ started, one thing that was so awesome about it is the risk/reward factor of the game. I never said it would stop bandits, but more that they will have to strategize / not kill on sight. That would be cool if bandits have to team up and follow players in order to attack them. Makes people more paranoid. -
Hate People Who Shoot On Sight? Help Me Out Here!
carbine781 (DayZ) posted a topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
1st, let me get something straight. I think bandits add a completely cool new aspect to the game that I enjoy. However, bandits have evolved over the year and a half DayZ has been out. Before, it was pretty rare for bandits to kill you. It was feared that you would get kidnapped or robbed by bandits. Today, its just shoot on sight, shoot on sight, shoot on sight. Also, there are people who snipe people for no apparent reason, just because its fun to hunt humans in a zombie apocalypse. I support classic banditry, not shoot on sight for no reason. So, thankfully, they are removing the AS50 and the M107 from DayZ. I think this will help a lot with the entire sniper situation. However, this won't fix the entire issue: People will still shoot on sight. Therefore, there should be a punishment TOWARDS the victim. What i mean by a punishment is a more severe permanent death. You may be asking Why punish the victim? Well, it will make people think twice about their actions. Yes, there will be a few just evil people out there who want to be the kings of the apocalypse and kill everybody, but I feel that having a more severe permanent death will really help. Now, what are your ideas? All ideas that i read that i think are creative i will post under this line. Thanks for reading! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
How customizable should clothing/character customization be?
carbine781 (DayZ) replied to carbine781 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
This is exactly what I don't think DayZ needs. DayZ is a game about survival, not about running around in cherno while wearing gimp suits. While yes, in real life, you could do this, if it doesn't enhance the main aspect of survival, then it shouldn't be implimented. Personally, I do not know how bondage would help out during a zombie apocalypse. -

carbine781 (DayZ) replied to carbine781 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
You do bring a vary valid point. The one thing I don't like about shoot on sight bandits is that its very unrealistic at times. IF you were in a zombie apocalypse, unless you were some random fanatic, you wouldn't want to kill everybody. That is just what I think though. Atleast 50 cal. snipers should be gone soon, so I think i can enjoy the game a lot more. I do enjoy being an actual bandit at time, but I don't believe it should be just shoot on sight unless the person is just an absolute threat. -
*GUIDE* How To Find/Loot Helicopter Crash Sights
carbine781 (DayZ) posted a topic in New Player Discussion
Hello. First, about myself. I've played DayZ for almost 1 year exact now. I've learned about the basics of the game, and how to find loot. I've even flown in a helicopter, so I have a lot of experience in the game. Now that you know about me, heres the guide. First, what is a helicopter crash sight? They are super rare loot spawns that change per server and server restart. They have the best loot in the game. However, there are only 3 per server. Heres a quick little guide on how to find them. 1. You need to be in the North There aren't any in the South 2. Know where to find them Helicopter crash sights are located in wide open fields. You may find them in airfields too. I have found them near Novy Sobor, the factory south east of Polana, and in/outside the North West Airfield. I also find them in random fields. 3. Look for smoke If you are on a hillside, and right in front of you is a giant field, take our your binoculars if you have any and just scope the area. If you find smoke, that means you just found a helicopter crash sight. Now that you know how to find them, heres how to loot them 1. Zombies Ok, so you found a crash sight. Now, you must deal with the old crew of the helicopter. Helicopter crash sights will spawn ~8 zombie friends. You can either try to be sneaky and avoid them, or go all out and kill all of them. Don't try luring them away into a forest where you can lose them, because more will spawn when you are a good distance away. Also, don't just try killing one of them, because they will all notice on you. It's either you kill all or none of them 2. Looking for loot Good News: One thing in the new DayZ update that they are implementing is crashed helicopters will remove some of the foliage near them. This helps with finding loot. When finding loot, you have to look under the helicopter and just all around it. Look in nearby grass, etc. Try going prone to look under a helicopter, but you may break your legs. You can often find guns just outside of where the helicopter is. You just need to look in every little gap of the helicopter. If you can't find anything, well, you may of just found an unlucky helicopter. Thats pretty much it. Hope it helps you out. Thanks for reading. -
*GUIDE #2* What You Need To Head North! (list / description of items)
carbine781 (DayZ) posted a topic in New Player Discussion
Hi. I have 2 guides on this topic. Check out the first one here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/138208-guide-what-you-need-to-head-north-list-description-of-items/ Each guide has its own advantages and disadvantages. The first guide had the advantage of the fact that you didn't have to stop at Stary Sobor, one of the most dangerous cities in the game. This guide, although you have to go to Stary Sobor, is a lot quicker and not as tedious. Why go up north? First, the north is home to many places, such as Stary Sobor, various castles, and 2 airfields. All of the best gear can be found up north. You can also find a lot more vehicles in the north. The north is also home to mysterious helicopter crash sights. To sum it up, the north has a lot of points of interests, better gear, and brings the best memories. Ok. Here is the 2nd guide. Be sure to check out the first one later when you get a chance! 1. A Hatchet! A hatchet is all you need for defense. If you do find another gun, you have a choice of taking it or leaving it. It is nice to have, but it makes you look like more of a threat. I'd pick it up, but do whatever you think is best. A couple guns that I will tell you NOT to pick up is the doubled barrel shotgun and the x-bow. Also, don't use crowbars... they aren't nearly as powerful as a hatchet. If you run into a secondary weapon, pick it up. 2. Some food and water If you want, you can maybe go with only 1 drink, though i recommend 2 or more. Water bottles are real useful, as you can refill them. As for food, you probably only need 1-2 as well. The good thing about food and water is that theres never really so much thing as too much food or water. 3. Navigational Supplies If you are on a server where you can set waypoints on your map, then one map is all you need. A compass is also recommended. To set a waypoint, hold shift and left click where you want it to be. A waypoint will then appear on your screen. If you can't find a map, use an online map. 4. *OPTIONAL* Medical Supplies In my attitude, if medical supplies are close by (Elektrozavadosk), go for them. If they are sort of out of the way(Chernogorsk), don't go with them. The most you need is a couple bandages, but its also really nice to have other medical supplies just incase you need them. Theres nothing worse then breaking your leg somehow in a forest and having to crawl your way to a hospital. Ok You have everything you need. Find Stary Sobor on your map, set a waypoint if you can, or just follow the roads until you get there. 25 Minutes Later... 5. Once you are at Stary Sobor... Ok. So after a long walk, you made it to Stary! First, try to approach from the North West. How? Walk around Stary. Once you are in the north west, you'll see the super market. Run to it as fast as you can. Before looting it, make sure that theres nobody in there. Get some cans of food and some drinks, and maybe a bigger backpack. Finally, once you are done with that, you can try going to the military tents. On your way there, hug the buildings so you have cover from any bandits. Also, if you run into the long cow shed, go into it. You can look out the windows, and it provides great cover. You may also find a weapon there if you are lucky. When you go to the military tents, try to be as fast as possible. Stary Sobor is a great pitstop, and it's full of great supplies, but don't overstayed your welcome. When you decide its time to leave, simply run. I'd recommend going back north west, or wherever is closest. There you go! You have just looted Stary Sobor, and you are on your way to another cool place. Check out the North West airfield, Devils Castle, and take a little visit at Berezino if you want. Thanks for Reading! Check out my other strategy of going north (link at the top) Please leave a few beans here, and check out my other posts. -Carbine781- 1 reply

Hi guys. So we have Huey crash sights, and now they are adding in mi8 crash sights. How about planes? 1. Plane Crash Sights They can be any type of plane. They can be big C-130S or small jets. Also, maybe you can find these in forests, along with in random fields. How cool would it be to see smoke coming from a forest 1 kilometer away? Also, just a little suggestion, maybe a plane will clear out any trees touching it. Here are some pictures: 2. You can actually see planes/helicopters coming down. This would be an extremely rare sight if people do add this in, but, you may hear a jet or see a plane on fire crashing down. That would be something pretty significant to see. 3. People can hear through radios? Maybe, if people have radios, they can intercept pilots saying "We're going down!". That would be a sort of spooky feeling. 4. A more sandbox or story line feel? Ok, so heres how we can do it. If we want a more sandbox feel like there is now, we can just find planes or helicopters in random fields. However, if we want a little story to the game, you can maybe here pilots panicking, you can maybe here or them coming down, and see some of there smoke a few kilometers away, and they you can go find them and find what gear they have. To be honest, i'm still debating over the sandbox or story feel. I think sandbox would be better for the game, but I wouldn't have a problem with any of them.

*GUIDE* What You Need To Head North! (list / description of items)
carbine781 (DayZ) posted a topic in New Player Discussion
Hello. In DayZ, hanging around on the coast is always fun, but the real fun memories come in the north. However, in order to go up north, you need the proper supplies not only to survive, but to even get up north. I've played DayZ for almost one year now. I've headed up north a lot, flown a helicopter, camped out with friends late at night, etc. Here is what i have learned over my year of experience, and hopefully this will teach you a lot. You may be wondering however, why go up north? First, the north is home to many places, such as Stary Sobor, various castles, and 2 airfields. All of the best gear can be found up north. You can also find a lot more vehicles in the north. The north is also home to mysterious helicopter crash sights. To sum it up, the north has a lot of points of interests, better gear, and brings the best memories. Ok, Heres my list Do note, that you don't need to get the exact ammounts, and these may be slightly exaggerated for some people. Experiment. This strategy is used so you don't have to go to Stary Sobor, a high traffic city in the North. 1. A PRIMARY WEAPON This is a given. In a world filled with zombies and bandits, you need to be able to protect yourself. Some good common weapons are the Lee Enfield and The Winchester 1866. A few common weapons that I do not recommend are: The X-Bow, Double barreled shotgun, crowbars, and hatchets (Keep hatchets as a tool, not as a primary weapon, but we'll get into that later). You can find weapons in residential areas. *QUICK TIP* Look in fire stations. They are the homes to low grade military weapons. Find the weapon that you like the best, and of course, don't forget ammunition. 2. A SECONDARY WEAPON (OPTIONAL) You actually do not need a secondary weapon if you want to head up north. Secondary Weapons are mostly used for killing zombies. That being said, if you come across one, take it. You can find these in residential areas as well. 3. A BIGGER BACKPACK You need a backpack to store items, from it being food to weapons you find at a crashed helicopter. You start out with a coyote patrol pack, but it only has 8 storage slots. I don't recommend a backpack with less than 16 slots. You can find backpacks in resedential areas. Here is a list of backpacks you can find: Patrol Pack (coyote)-8 Czech Vest Pouch-12 Assault Pack (ACU)-12 Survival (ACU)-16 Alice Pack-16 British Assault Pack-18 Czech Backpack-24 Coyote Backpack (not to be confused with the Patrol Pack)-24 4. FOOD AND WATER Simple, you need food and water to survive. I wouldn't recommend going north without 4 cans of food and 5 drinks. If you find water bottles, keep them, as you can refill them in lakes. Also, you can go with only 3 cans if you have the materials to be able to hunt and eat animals (Next section). You can find food and water in supermarkets and just any residential area. Store most of your food and water in your backpack, but keep some in your main inventory just incase you don't have time to pull them out of your backpack. 5. PROPER HUNTING MATERIALS (Optional, but highly recommended) In order to hunt wildlife that you see, you will need: A weapon (to kill an animal), a hunting knife (so you can gut an animal), a Hatchet (to make firewood), and matches (to light your firewood on fire so you can cook your meat.). I do recommend eating steaks that you get from animals more than canned food, as you get 800 blood back per steak. You can hatchets in industrial / farm areas, and hunting knifes and matches in residential areas. Here is a diagram of the amount of meat you get per animal: Rabbit-1 meat-800 blood Chicken-1 meat-800 blood Goat-3 meat-2400 blood Boar-4 meat-3200 blood Sheep-5 meat-4000 blood Cow-8 meat-6400 blood 6. MEDICAL SUPPLIES There are currently 7 types of medical supplies: Bandages (stop bleeding), Morphine (fix broken legs), BloodBags (completely refill your blood aka your health), Painkillers (Stop pain / shakiness when you are injured), Epi-pens (revive knocked out survivors), Heat packs (Warm you up), and Antibiotics (Cure infections). Don't go north without atleast 3 bandages, 3 morphines, 1-2 bloodbags, 3 painkillers, 1 epipen (optional), and 2-3 antibiotics. Heat packs are optional. You can heat yourself up by sitting near a fire. You can find these supplies in hospitals. *QUICK TIP* You need somebody else to give you a blood transfusion, so blood bags aren't useful when you are playing by yourself. Instead, find an animal and kill / gut it. Each steak = 800 blood. 7. NAVIGATIONAL SUPPLIES In order to get somewhere North, you will need to be able to navigate. These are important if you want to go somewhere specific. There are many supplies, but the most common are Maps And Compasses. Don't go north without one map and one compass. If you don't have a map, you can use one you find online (heres a great one: http://dayzdb.com/map). If you find a GPS, keep it! One GPS = A compass and a better map in one. 8. OTHER USEFUL SUPPLIES Finally, there are a few useful supplies that you should keep if you come across them. First, binoculars. If you don't have a weapon with a good scope on it, you will want to use binoculars to see whats far away from you. These become very useful when you are a few hundred meters away from a town and you want to see how many zombies there are in it, etc. If you are planning on playing during the night, bring anything that provides light: Flashlights (you spawn with one), chemlights, flares, or nightvision goggles (rare). These will help when you are roaming throughout the night. Also, if you find clothing packages, be sure to pick them up! Ghillie suits and Camo clothing can really come in handy. If you find civilian clothing however, ignore it. The final thing i want to talk about is toiletries. The DayZ team added toilet paper and razor blades (for shaving) to the game. However, you can't use them yet. In DayZ Standalone however, they will probably play a big role, so you may want to bring these north in the future. I'll update the list once standalone comes out. Thats it! Hope the list was helpful! If i forgot anything, please tell me. If you have any questions or concerns, please tell me too. Thanks for reading! Please check out my other posts and give me your beans if you like this! *Schematics used from DayZ Wiki: http://dayz.gamepedia.com -
*GUIDE* How To Find/Loot Helicopter Crash Sights

Thank you :) -
Hi. Quick Idea. After seeing a video of people playing on a custom dayz server with custom sound effects, I must say, the sound is a lot better. Example: gunfire over long distances has a really cool echo and sounds more realistic. Maybe consider that standalone team. Redo the sound effects.
-
Hi guys. This is just a little addon for the current spawn system. Let me be honest to the devs. You either make places like krutoy kap and kamenka have places of interest, or you keep it like it is. If you keep it like it is, people will keep killing themselfs on purpose. It doesn't add anything fun to the game if you spawn somewhere where you have to walk for 30 minutes to get somewhere interesting. So anyway, heres my suggestion if in Standalone, there are spawn points that people don't want to spawn in. When you spawn, have a something pop up on the screen (it could be some text, etc) and place it whever (or where the debug monitor will be if you bring that back :D ) The text will say something like "Press (insert random key here) if you want to go to a different spawn (it will be randomized)." there will also be a little countdown starting from 10. Then, if you don't like the spawn, u can press that button. I think it would be good if you can only veto a spawn once, so people don't keep spamming the veto button until they get to Elektro. Theres my idea Hope you like dev team, and keep up the good work on the game!

Buy Arma2 set or wait for the standalone?
carbine781 (DayZ) replied to switchblade10's topic in New Player Discussion
DayZ Standalone is supposed to come out this June. It's already in closed testing. Don't buy arma 2 oa, unless you are extremely desperate. It's not recommended. Especially don't buy all the dlc and stuff if you are only planning on playing the game until standalone. Just a waste of money. The cheapest thing to do is wait about 2-4 weeks and get standalone. The 2nd cheapest thing to do is buy arma 2 operation arrowhead ONLY. You can play dayz with arma 2 operation arrowhead and arma 2 free. -

Hello. let me help you out. Unfortunately, you can't camp out in houses yet. However, you can make camps and store your items there. You have to use camping tents. http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Tent. You just place them down, and then you can put items in there. I recommend putting your camp in a forest near a small town. I'm not sure about this, but once you put your tent down and place stuff in it, don't forget to use your scroll wheel and select Save Tent. This also goes with vehicles. You can put your tents anywhere, but the most common areas are in the middle of nowhere in a forest or open area. Hope this helps! -

carbine781 (DayZ) replied to carbine781 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Im not into giving your character the ability to do all of these crazy things to his appearance. The current characters look normal and realistic. However, i don't want a bunch of Friday the 13th fans (btw my name is Jason)dressing up in hockey masks. I mean, its not exactly necessary, and people wouldn't always do that in real life. Also, im honored that your 500th post was on this page :) -

carbine781 (DayZ) replied to carbine781 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
By normal, i simply mean not ridiculous. I don't want to see half naked survivors with hockey masks on and giant pink mohawks running around. I sort of like survivors to look like the first picture up there. Common hair style, no weird clothes, etc. -
They got rid of the L85A2 AWS, the only thermal gun in the game. While it was overpowered, they should replace them with thermal binoculars. The thermal part can't be toggled, and since you can't shoot with the thermal sight, it would only be ideal for spotters to really have it. Also, the binoculars will be really rare, and can probably only be found in military areas and crashed helicopters. Also, since the L85A2 AWS was mostly used for spotting, maybe we could nerf the binoculars so that the magnification isn't as far or something. Remember, these are binoculars, not rangefinders. Im sorry if somebody else posted this, so please don't comment saying "somebody else posted this".

*List* TOO Much Realism Is Bad (Please help me add on)
carbine781 (DayZ) posted a topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Here are some things that shouldn't be implemented in the game, as they would make the game TOO realistic. If you have any other things to add on to my list, feel free to add them, and if they are good, I will quote it and give you credit. I will constantly add on the list too. The Big List Of Realism That Shouldn't Be Implemented 1. Having to go to the bathroom The Next Thing You Need To Do In A Zombie Apocalypse Is Have To Go Poop In A Lake (because if you don't, your poop scent will attract zombies :P) 2. Being able to completely undress People Running Through Cherno Naked With Chemlights Will Probably Become The Next Big Thing 3. Girls Getting There Periods ... :facepalm: 4. Having To Sleep And Wait A Few Hours For Your Character To Wake Up Also, your character will be vulnerable during your nap. 5. Daily Hygiene Issues (By Overlander35) Having to brush your teeth, put on deodorant, take daily baths in the lakes so your bad odor doesn't attract zombies, pop pimples, shaving, and more :P 6. Getting Sick Ok, so there are infections in the game, but imagine if you got a COLD. You would have to blow your nose* all the time, as though coughing every 2 seconds wasn't annoying enough. You would also probably have to find tissues to blow you nose in. If you got a flu, you wouldn't be able to move as fast, and you would probably have to sleep all day!!! While I am aware of them adding a lot more infections, they should make antibiotics a LOT less rare, so at least 1-2 per medical box. *Overlander35 came up with the blowing nose part 7. Sneezing (By Overlander35) You wouldn't be able to move while you are sneezing... you just hear it... and its louder than an M107 8. Realistic Vehicle Repairing Time Listen, I like the ability to be able to repair vehicles, but if it takes like 10 minutes to repair a wheel in real life, then you don't want to do that. Plus, you need to lift the car up so u can take the wheel off in the first place... 9. More Vehicle Repairs (Once again, by Overlander35) You have to put oil in your car, put water in your car, and fly your helicopter to a military base to properly repair it... 10. Bird and other animal Poop A friendly old bird flying over head was nice enough to take a big sh*t on your car... :facepalm: 11. Bugs Nobody likes bugs, so don't add misquotes in the game that will bite you unless you add in some good ol bug spray that is somewhat common 12. Make Ammo More Scarce (I actually support this, just don't make finding ammo impossible) Even though ammo is already rare, i'm not quite sure how I'm able to find 50 cal. rounds in a fire station. I'm pretty sure my local fire station doesn't have that. Ammo however is still really rare, so don't nerf the percentage of good loot TOO much!!! 13. Food Rotting And Expiration Dates We seriously do not need to deal with this... Atleast add ways to make the food last longer, and don't have the food rot when u are offline for over a week. However, if the food will rot after 1 day, then i seriously don't want to deal with this. 14. Stamina Don't pull a WarZ on us and make running time limited. Here is a comment that I love by Jonsse. Be sure to read the rest of his comment (It's on the 1st page) 15. Don't add Forest Fires Even though i did suggest these in a past post, I don't think they would be good, as one a-hole bandit could easily set a forest on fire with a match, and before you know it, you're lagging out because 50,000 trees are now burning. 16. Random Preexisting Medical Conditions (By BigMike) It'll really suck to have to carefully walk into Cherno to go grab Asthma medication or insulin. 17. Incurable Life Ending Diseases (An Add-On To #16) Cancer, HIV, ALS, etc. We don't need to deal with those 18. Crazy Hairdos and Character Customization Don't let your character give himself a mohawk and dye his hair pink. Keep characters looking normal. 19. Sex IDC if your character is a virgin, this really isn't necessary! IF YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE, SAY IT IN THE COMMENTS BELOW AND I MAY ADD IT!!! -
The Craziest Night Of Elektro I Have Ever Been In
carbine781 (DayZ) posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ok. Here is my story of the craziest night of Elektro I have ever been in. I mean crazy. Even though it wasn't night time on the server, it was ~10pm were I was living. This post is LONG, but I believe its worth reading. There were 50 people on the server. At the time, there were about 50 dead bodies in Elektro, and all you heard in there was gunfire. I had just spawned in Elektro, and I would just go in there and pretty much get shot. This happened about 3 times. I finally respawned. When I was near the church, I heard a bunch of people talking. They saw me, and they were all friendly. There were 7 people there, who had all met up in Elektro. They didn't know eachother, but since they were friendly, they had all teamed up. They were trying to get a Sniper on the hill. Some had ghillie suits and high grade military rifles, some were like me, almost or completely weaponless. We decided to go to the power plant firestation. On our way there, we met another bambie, and I found an AKS-74U off a dead body, who was probably killed by the sniper too. We are in the firestation, at this time, with 9 people in our squad. We decide to just charge up the hill, because we realize the sniper can't take ALL of us at once. So, we do while screaming crazy battle calls into the mic. We get to the top of the hill, and we can't find anybody. Then, i get off the computer quickly to get my external hard drive to record on. When I get back, i can't find them. I have no idea how I lost them that quickly. I was pissed, but then I heard gunshots coming from the East side of the hill. So i went up the hill, and I turn to my left and I see a guy prone behind a tree with camo clothing... the sniper. I shoot him about 5 times, and he dropped dead. He didn't even notice me there. We successfully killed him. He had an AS50, Rangefinder, NVG, all this stuff. Before I looted him, I saw the squad, announced that I killed the sniper, and they all congratulated me on my brand new AS50. The MOMENT We are done looting him... the server restarts... causing my character to rollback so I just have my AKS-74U, no AS50. Then, a hacker teleports to us and kills us all. But thats only 1/2 of my night. I respawn east of Elektro, in the little industrial part. I see a helicopter, that only needs some fuel to fly, so i set search for a jerry can. I was pretty tired at the time, so I was just planning on crash landing it into Elektro and calling it a night. I finally find one in Elektro... but then i hear helicopter sounds. I look up, and sure enough, there it is. And then i hear it crash... the son of a b*tch did the exact same thing I was planning on doing. So I'm pretty annoyed, as this isn't the first time a helicopter has been "robbed" from me because I couldn't find a jerry can (I'll post the other story soon). I go back to the firestation in the powerplant. Of course, I see the crashed helicopter >:( . I enter the forestation, and what do I know? ANOTHER 8 person squad, and NOBODY in the new squad actually was in the last squad. We go to the church, because one of the guys in the squad has a friend there. There are a load of dead bodies there, and the guy says that they all have weapons on them. Unfortunately, I'm only able to scrape off a makarov. We close the church doors, because a bandit is outside shooting at us with a silenced m4a1. We finally decide to just run out, because we can't stay in the church forever. We run out. I run out to the left of the building infront of the church. I Peak around the corner, and I see the 2 bandits shooting at us next to the pub. I kill one of them, but the other guy sees me. He's only able to shoot me once, and I get away. Me and the rest of the squad go to the hospital and go prone on the roof. We are just camping up there, and a guy in the mic says he is coming up and that he is friendly. When he came up, I noticed that he had an m4a1 cco silenced, and I'm very suspicious about this guy. We are all up there for awhile, I also notice that the guy doesn't go prone like the rest of us (we were prone so the guy who wasn't on the top of the hospital couldn't shoot us). Sure enough, as I expected, it turns out he was the guy shooting at us earlier, and he killed all of us. As I witnessed in horror the massacre of the squad, I tried to kill him, but my makarov wasn't powerful enough. I respawned in Elektro. All of a sudden, unlike earlier, I didn't hear any gunfire, and everything was quiet. I looted the first bandit (the one I killed). To this day, I still have his M4A1 CCO SD, Ghillie Suit, Rangefinders, and Night Vision Goggles. I have most of that night on footage, but since my mic is horrible, you hear an annoying sound throughout the entire thing. I may edit it and post it on YouTube if enough people want to see it. As for the first squad, I don't know what happened to them. The 2nd squad, I am friends with on skype, but I rarely talk to them. Now that I look back on that night, I wish I still had the loot from that sniper, but the loot I have now is still amazing. That was my night. Have you ever had anything this crazy? Tell me below. -

You are actually one of the few people who liked most of the ideas. I just don't like them because I don't think they would really add any enjoyment to the game. Thanks for the comment though!
