My friend and I were engaged by a group at NWAF Tents. We backed off and set up positions. As they went to flank us I spotted one running up the west treeline. I estimated it to be 600 meters.

Nearly happened to me a day later lol

Sometimes, when things were slow. I would snipe zombies, or cows....but for once I actually got a player.

Well they were in a squad and tried to kill us lol. I managed to catch one at the beginning of their flank :P I was 100% expecting to miss him with the on the fly ranging that I did, also I am a pretty bad sniper. So this was a big deal for me lol. Thank you for liking the shot :D

It is tons more exciting I agree (especially first person). I very rarely sniper, or manage to hit my shot lol. I am VERY bad at estimating my shots but was so happy I actually landed one :P

My friend and I infiltrated a group in which two had recently killed me. We decided to leave no one alive.

Lololololol. Too bad she murdered me ;_;

Lol. I was out of bullets at that point, I had no other option. Self preservation! All about the art of deception :D

That's a mexican standoff and that was not the deal!

Thats a mexican standoff!

Guns are not a toy

Lol, "if you pew pew at your friend, you're gunna have a bad time"

Yep, it goes all the way back to early DayZ mod for us. Whenever we would be overlooking an area and action wouldnt happen, we would each point our snipers at each other and pretend to shoot. This time it ended in a misclick and my death lol. I would have laughed so hard if that would be the case. Sadly a shotgun to the back doesn't care if I want to laugh or not :P

Thanks lol. I thought of it like 5 minutes after it happened. Thought it described the situation perfectly. Even waited until I turned my back :P

I think more people need to advertise 1st person. Sacriel/Ngotie/Break all got me into wanting to play first person, and now I cannot stand third person. I enjoy Break and Ngotie's streams, but I have watched much less of Break's streams lately since he started to play third person. I understand his decision and why he did it, but all it ends up being is a wallpeeking battle with a lot less tactical gameplay. They were the last hope. Are they going to be the ones who make 1pp viable? Probably not alone. But they were the ones who taught everyone that there were better options, and at least made people think when it came to "tactical gameplay". I know streams evolve over time, and I am not personally attacking Break or anything (I think you are a great streamer). But third person to me is just so, blah to me. First person is just what you guys represented to me, and it just sucks that it isn't seen as much anymore. Even though you can get streamsniped and its frustrating, I think it makes for a more awesome stream. The hardcore tactical squadplay is what I crave. On another note: I think on third person, a lot less people go north. Or a lot of people can avoid getting spotted because of being in third person (checking areas with being seen). I was teaching my friend the game the other day and all the mechanics, so we played some third person just to allow him to get introduced to the game (he played tons of MOD with me, but they are different animals). We played the first day for two hours, teaching him the basics, showing him where to get gear. We looped from Berezino, to novy, stary, Veresnik, NWAF (looted every building), lopatino. In that entire time we did not see a single person. The next day he played, we did a similar loot run, but just for military gear. He kept asking "Im ready to die now, lets go find some people". All I could say was "umm, we are at the main hubs already". So we kept looting looking around, saw no one again. Third day, we did a similar loot run and got so frustrated at NWAF, we literally ran across the open field to the ATC hoping to be shot. Nothing. So we went back to Veresnik, and then into vybor looking for people. That entire three day span, probably 8-10 hours played, did not see a single player in the northwest. As for the gunsway, it is complete bullshit. It gives an incentive to camp, which gives more advantage to third person players (sit behind wall, wait for player who is running). Now if they balanced it to where you could hold your breath and cut down on it drastically that would be reasonable. Personally, if you are drastically out of breath your gun is not swaying the way it does it game anyway. It just spins in wide unpredictable circles, and takes forever to get rid of. They need to decrease sway drastically, and add a hold breath function to bring skillshots into gunplay more.

My squadmate IcEy and I got surrounded by a squad of 7. I go back and try to take them out.

It sounds like that, but he was actually nowhere near me. He was referring to a separate guy heading towards me. That is why I thought it was him at first because it was an unarmed character. But he was something like 300 meters away. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't him :P

We encounter the UN clan at Zelenogorsk, and engage in a firefight until one side is finally the victor.

Makes me wonder how many players are always nearby...

I do shoot everything that moves. Especially at NWAF. But overall I have a personal rule of mine. I do not shoot unarmed players on the coast, or players who do not pose a threat. I am actually very friendly on the coast (I am never there when geared though, only play the north) but if a guy with a hatchet starts running at me, or a player with his fists, I am going to shoot. If someone is camping fresh spawns I will kill them and let the fresh spawns go. But anywhere north of the coast you are my enemy, and I am a bandit.

Thanks! Yeah they have much better weapons too. Was too much to handle in the end though XD

This is a really old video from a firefight I had. My squadmate and I get surrounded by a squad of 7. We die, I run back to get my revenge!

Hey everyone, This was an old clip that I just recently edited. My friend and I went to loot NEAF, and ended up engaging a squad. People die, bad things happen. Just a normal time in DayZ!

Yep it sucks though XD

I was so rusty at this point (hadn't played in a few months before this shootout) and I forgot to reload my gun and was just off on my mechanics lol. But I was happy I took out two of them. That 2nd guy I killed though shot me after he was dead on the ground which broke my arm (desync please!).
