  1. The reason KOS does not exist in the real world as much ( and i stress as much ) is due to the obvious difference in repercussions ( regardless of prison as this may not be an issue if the world tunred lawless, death in rl is death not respawn) in a RL apocolypse as opposed to a computor game one. Hence why in rl a lot of bad deeds are well thought out and others are acts of random desperation or mistakes.In RL you just have to look at when people get slung into a situation where there is one winner, they will form groups and normally stab each other in the back for personal gain eventually, hence why we have wars throughout history and conflict will always be there, in the animal kingdom it's about nesecity , in our race its about greed, money power and conquest.
  2. lol ? kos most def does happen in RL- visit joberg in SA or bogata etc etc ( or even run down areas of most citys ) and why ? the comparison with dayz would be that the aforementioned places are struck with tough political standards and ppl are poor and need to survive? they have easier access to weapons than someone living in a nice middle class area due to the enviroment they live in and as such are bitter and angry with the world. In dayz why with the mod being full of weapons would anyone scratch their head for it not to exist is beyond me ( the only why to change it in dayz is with factions and punishment for tk within them) In regards to natural distasters etc i can guarante you 100 % there will always be a percentage of ppl that will be on the make or doing dastadly deads. To put it very simple " good " wouldnt exist without bad ( as sad as it sounds ) the word has no meaning without its's oposite. Mankind has ( and still does ) do horible things over the years, unfortunatley human nature is so individual and hard to predict that you cant guarante one type of behaviour as we are all such individuals deep down ( why comunism doesnt work in all countrys without years of conditiioning ) History is littered with acts of kindness as is with acts of evil- its quite simple.
  3. I agree kos would and does happen in rl and kos does not bother me one bit in dayz however there is a certain something you are leaving out OP. we have become a lot for civilised since our early roots and just because some will answer those early yearnings l not all will. But when push comes to shove ( apocolyptic situations) it can go out the window. I think groups of people would stick together and some wouldnt. Look at disasters such as new orleans , tsunami etc etc for examples of both types of behaviors.

    Shooting

    Shooting range is awsome, not only will you get good at judging distance after viewing diff targets at different ranges you will also get to know ur guns. Also in shooters like a2 and mods like project reality its not always about the headshots. Dont get me wrong its what you should aspire to in the majority of fps's but at long ranges with an unscoped weapon you are better off aiming centre mass neck area. Remember the head is a very acute target at range and somtimes the situation will require a less risky percentage of hit on target. Also think about the conitations of enviroment, never drag ur site at ur feet in any game, or you are walking up a stairwell you want to imagine where a target would be if they entered the stairwell from above you for example and adjust your sight acordingly. Also the situation- you want to make the kill as hassle free as posible. For instance try and engage moving left to right targets as little as possible, always look whats around them such as possible loot where they might stop to give you an easy kill that makes less noise abd uses less ammo and gives you better opotunity to make a cleaner kill. Most weapons with scopes will lead lines left and right of the x hair, practice on the shooting range missions at making moving target shots as sometimes you wont have the luxuary of easy shots. Hope this helps

    Worst Squad Ever...

    Worst squad ever? Playing a3 wasteland random spawned in front of a five man sq in vehicle, only had a pistol, squad leader talking to squad. " he only has a pistol but we better kill him" famous last words , killed 3 injured 1, got run over by the squad leader shooting at no4. Def worst squad ever lol
  6. Its very simple i said it before. You need a squad type system ( or factions) Ppl wont kill on sight if punished. It might kill the imersion a little but you could have a faction for lone wolves and im sure it can be tweaked to not look so formal.
  7. Depends on the situation. If there is a small amount of targets and i'm in very good cover etc etc then the m40a3, otherwise the svd with its higher rof, seemingly less clunky feel, better x hairs * think you can be more precice with the chevs* wins the day. Kinda the same for all bolt action to semi auto matchups.
  8. Try a dif server? And some tlr servers hold a lot of ppl. There is one tlr server i play on that has really bad frames, esp close to restart.

    Goals

    Get the sweat suit , had it once on takistan vr nemisis, but too close to restart and it went. No vr nem servers about any more and dont think its in any other loot tables :( oh well
  10. Claw

    Anyone else agree?

    Not aimed at anyone in particilar. I dont understand why ppl think they entitled to updates? Yes it makes sense to feed ur potential customers updates but its not something hold them for. Game will come out when its ready.

    M203 HE Effective Radius

    Nice to see some figured for the 203. In ref to the op. i think you can just be unlucky sometimes in arma. I took out a suv with a javelin on wasteland the other day and there was a guy standing right next to it and he survived....
  12. Vid or it didnt happen :) Cool story all the same
  13. Claw

    DayZ Gun list

    That makes it a carbine, not a smg. The ammo it fires is not typical with smg 's more ar.
  14. Bored at work wishing as was playing bp or wasteland. I think it will be fine, you get used to whats around you, hopefully no pine tree glitch but it should help , as in can be seen less. I hope for hordes simular to lfd.

    Sounds?

    Set ur sound to 128 in sound options should make a difference, up until a day ago i was using a 10 quid cheap headset and never had a problem telling where sound comes from, sometimes ppl use tactics to confuse you like unison and offbeat firing. Make sure you have the headset on the right way also, left to left right to right etc.
  16. Dont post threads about kos, servers with start up gear, or mention cod kiddies. ( i think the next one should be sticked and all others removed) Game related- have patience, think about your suroundings and the conitations of the geographic layout of the area you move thou or too and ur own actions.
  17. it gets worse if the player you are shooting also has bad ping. Certain games people used console comands like in quake engined rtcw ppl used to use timenudge command to try and compensate for bad ping, it was a legit command but got abused by people with good pings to make themsleves harder to hit. I have always felt 150 < is playable across most fps games, but depends on who you come up against, if it is a completly fair sudden face off against someone of equal skill you will mostly loose out due to the bad ping, but against someone that sprays a little etc etc you will have the time to play the ping lottery ( especially with much higher ping) Having bad ping can make your player harder to hit also.

    Your favourite map?

    In order Taviana Sahrani Celle Oring Namalsk Lingor Chernrus
  19. Depends how lazy the hit boxes are in arma. Ping wont really effect ur fps more so where your shots land. Rule of thumb for me was anything over 150 and you have to start leading ur shots a lot. Anything over 150 and it starts to get hard, but this is based on amother game i used to play and as each game could have different hitbox sizes it might be ok to run a bit higher.
  20. Oops random double post, 10 x10 is a k sq?
  21. Sahrani ( i think is bigger) Taviana Chernus

    g36c not sure if its a great gun

    Heh i agree about m4 > g36c but..... Fal > akm
  24. Claw

    g36c not sure if its a great gun

    G36c good for short range, less clumsy in close quarters. M16 better over range and easier to be more acurate over further distance due to a finer iron. Pretty much the usual dif between carbones and ar's
