I honestly think there needs to be a public shaming thread for hackers. Or at least a method of reporting them for manual banning (for those that slip through the battleye cracks).

I won't beat a dead horse too badly, but my group just got into a massive, extended firefight against against a group of 5 (7?) Server hopping, ghosting KoS bandits at Balota Airfield. We were in three groups. 3 of us at NEA, one in Komarovo, and one at Balota. Our man in Balota observed a group of bandits killing bambis in the area, and to confirm our suspicions, he approached unarmed and called out friendly. He was killed immediately. The group at NEA ran at a dead sprint across the map to the hills north of the Airfield where we met and left a sniper on over watch. The other 3 with M4s approached the airstrip and closed on the Large building. With the sniper initiating contact with a clean head shot to a player in wait to the south, the assault team began rapid fire engagement of 4 other bandits. One was shot upwards of 5 times in the open before combat logging. Another went down inside the closest hangar. The remaining combat logged, and flanked to the trees north of the airstrip. I pushed into and cleared the large building with support watching the door. Once gaining lodgment in the top floor, a player appeared in the top hall. We killed each other inside. No player entered behind me, and there was a reloading sound shortly before I died. Upon re spawning at the Airfield, we located three more players who had logged into the treeline north of the green hangars. Our sniper engaged and killed one before the other two combat logged. I recovered the enemy weapon and took up a firing position. Two poorly aimed shots landed around me forcing me to fall back to the east. The same two combat loggers engaged me from the east, hitting me twice but could not kill me. While under ineffective fire from those two, I retreated to the hill in front of the houses. Hitting one player with mosin fire, both immediately combat logged before the remaining M4 team member could close on them. I have never experienced combat logging on quite this ridiculous scale before. I'm not QQing, but one of the side effects of the fast loading speed of a player into a server has led to an increased ability to jump around during a fight. StatiK should have video of this event, which ai will link to when available.

Jesus... is that really what I sound like?

Be gentle. It was his first time.

Ditto. I just use fraps for screens.

Define salary. Are you talking about real money, or taking a cut of loot?

You just have to observe the other player eventually. Different symptoms mean different things.

Exactly. And they would reward the truly great shooters while weeding out 13 year old 'bandits'. If I get shot by a sniper, I want him to have earned it.

creature, are you asking to be tickled? On topic, ammunition. Of any kind.

If you have more than one mag for the M4, R is reload. The mosin needs to be manually reloaded through your inventory. (imagine digging through your pockets for loose rounds)

Inventory. Please use search people...

Makes sense. I just wanted to clarify terminology. I could not agree with you more. Picked up a Russian sight? Learn to read Russian. Picked up an American sight? Learn to use mildots. Don't know how to properly adjust your sight? That's an issue, not an issme. Go up north and practice. My biggest gripe with the mosin at 800m hits low and left. My biggest gripe with the M4 is that the ACOG can be adjusted? That's what the sight markings are for. Get on Google and learn how to use them.

Yep. And now the mobile site is fubar. I can't get the menu to go away.

I think you should clarify your terms, gibonez. My understanding of the term "zeroing" is based off my own training as a Canadian Infanteer. When we "zero" our sights, that means that (for us) at 100m our main point of impact (MPI) is 25mm above our point of aim (POI). The minimum range we can set our sights to is 200m. Since the bullet travels in an arc, we deliberately adjust so that our rounds land high at 100m. If we move back to 200m and fire, the round will have dropped 25mm and impact exactly where we aim. Once we are "zeroed", we have a dial that is marked from 200m, all the way to 800m in 100m increments. You don't "zero" the rifle at every range, you simply set your sight adjustment to the appropriate range. The reason we zero is because each individual shooter holds the weapon slightly differently, with different and unique eye relief , slightly different parallax, etc. tl; dr: Zeroing only happens once, when you pick the weapon up for the first time. Once that is done, you shouldn't ever zero again (unless you drop the thing on the sight). Once that is done, you're just adjusting your range.

The best way to regenerate blood is by using the search function. Also by checking the new player forum.

I'll also add that assault weapons are not one shot kill platforms. Accuracy by volume of fire.

Stop trolling the OP. He raises some very good points. Whatever sights are in game should be adjusted using the same methods that they would be in real life. I would love it if you could find a sight but had to adjust the zero. I.E. you find an C79, you find a target 100m away, and discover that your MPI is high and right. You have to adjust the sight to place your MPI on top of your POI. Once that is done, the sight is zeroed to your weapon and YOUR CHARACTER. If another player wants to use your sight, they will have to re zero (just like in real life, two people can use the same weapon with the same sight and hit different places. I won't get into the reasons here. That would make shooting much more rewarding and challenging.

Huh? Salaries? 0_o

I have yet to get sick.. and I drink directly from ponds and taps, and eat canned food/drink and fresh fruit without sanitizing anything.

Never once found a radio or the Press vest.

Isn't there a weight system in the pipeline? I thought I remembered reading something about that..

As a crossfire user I have disagree. I want my extra card to feel justified!

Am I the only one who carries the new testament whenever possible to read captured bandits their Last Rites? Please don't say I am...

I don't think there are two maps... and I've been able to complete multiple whole maps. Just be thorough. edit: note that you can't join diagonally, or have 3/4 maps.
