Made it!

Stahp, forumers, what are you doing? Stahp feeding the troll!

I think the screwdriver needs to be pristine to work.

I found mine in the back of a car mid way up the map, and found the hunting scope on a conveniently dead guy by the cherno apartments hospital. (I swear he was already dead!)

What barrygib said. I would love to be able to tape them, but you should have to use some sort of spacer. Maybe a few note pages piled together or something. I'm not a fan of the upside down taping, because if you bang the bottom mag you risk damaging the lips and causing stoppages. Just my two cents.

The mags shouldn't feed into each other. I don't have an M4 myself, but they should enable a fast mag change every other time. And they aren't taped. They come already attached with something called a mag coupler.

Hi, my name is Merrick362, and I'm a waterholic. It's been 6 minutes since my last swig, and I'm feeling dizzy. I'm here because I woke up on the beach a hard night of drinking mineral water.

Damn meta - gamers! Haha, I can't wait to figure out what the hell vitamins are for...right now I'm taking one every couple hours. Maybe they aid with fatigue levels or if you are eating shitty food? I dunno. Edit: immuno-boosters?

..I don't think he's referring to money. I think he's referring to the fact that the servers didn't immediately implode under the strain of 150 000 players trying to get on at once. Fantastic job Rocket and team! (Team rocket?)

"I know its realistic, did you not read how I'm playing? I played all last night, it was night, now I'm playing during the day (And it's noon here) and it is still dark out, riddle me that. I never said I hated the game, these are things that I blatently think are broken as I stated. And as I said before as well, water pumps and ponds dont need a water plant to flow, if there are side effects to drinking them then let me deal with that fallout when it happens, but at least make it an option." I obviously read your post. I replied to all your points. Don't take offense to counterpoints. As far as the day/night cycle, is it possible that you Happened to miss first and last night? I played yesterday, and first night was around 0100 EST, with sunrise around 0215. It was glorious, if a little sudden with the shaders lol. Pumps and some ponds are currently bugged, that's being addressed. If u can find a water bottle you can still top it up at a pump though.

I have to say, I agree with you about the colossal amount of food and water I need to function, however I would imagine that running water would be one of the first utilities to shut off after a catastrophic event, perhaps tainted water was the source of the infection? Electricity would last a very long time, especially if it was a NPP providing power (nuke plants can run autonomously for ages). This game is supposed to be authentic, which is why the day night cycle is real. You knew what you were getting into, deal with it. As of yet, I have not had any major problems with the loot system, aside from the to be expected alpha bugs. I've has ammo vanish, a couple of dupes(bonus saline!), but nothing game breaking. I'm quite impressed with it so far. EDIT: FORCE FEEDING OTHER PLAYERS! Am I the only one who wants to cuff someone and make them eat until they die?! I can't be the only one..right?

Oh man! Was so worried that people would grow the fuck up! There should be a mandatory test of your basic abilities to read warnings in order to buy into the alpha. I'm glad that all those chimps skipped the clearly stated warnings, including the one where Rocket exclusively tells you NOT to buy the alpha! Morons... edited for spelling. Big thumbs, little keyboard.

By - the - by, is there a watch in game? It's fckin hard to tell what time it is at night.

I have to agree with most of this. I've already done many different things, from holding up a player and slipping food and a pistol into his bag, sniping a hatchet wielding maniac to protect a friend, and (my favourite), handcuffing a player, stealing everything including pants and shoes, and saying "sort it out". I love the inventory system, once you get the hand of it, it's very intuitive. I HAVE noticed though, that when I place a first aid kit or ammo can on the ground they sometimes jump 10-15 feet away. Not a big deal normally, but when I'm in cover during a fight trying to get my my mosin rounds out, running out into a field chasing my bullets is a little wierd. I've noticed other bugs, but that's what the feedback tracker is for. More than anything else, I want to cogratulate Rocket, Matt and the rest of the team on getting the alpha out the door! It's a hell of a milestone!

This. From personal experience, visual range estimation is one of the first things you learn as a soldier. Also, speaking from in-game experience, There is NOTHING more satisfying than playing on a hardore server (no waypoints), and using the map to estimate a range before landing a clean hit. That's what makes this game truely beautiful.

It's ok. He only has one mag. ;)Edit: What happenned at the end of the video? It seems like you got flanked from the right?

There was a video in this thread?

So far I've tripped two frag grenade traps. Luckily the second one was deliberate. I couldn't figure out how to disarm it, so I figured if I sprint through it I would be ok. Not much scarier than setting off a grenade in the middle of an apocalypse when you don't know where the other players are...

Nah, Middle of the day, they didn't render properly until we were on top of them. It was heart breaking watching the truck go up in flames though hahaha.

No, but most franchises lack the innovation to justify the next installment. Look at CoD, Battlefield 3/4, C&C, Etc.

Whoever owns those three hedgehogs on the road between Stary and Kabanino can burn in hell. Find truck - fix truck - stop for gas - get murdered - truck stolen, heading south - spawn in electro - retrieve winchester - lie in wait - Jason Bourne snipe driver on road - take truck - drive truck to Stary and repair - drive truck to Kabanino for fuel - have 3 hedgehogs render in 20 feet in front of truck - hit hedgehogs - bail out of truck in time to watch it blow - salute while weeping softly into keyboard.

ALPHALPHALHPALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHALPHA. Do you remember how buggy the BF3 closed and open betas were? Yeah. This is going to be an Alpha. As in less than a beta. As in trying to get basic game architecture running, and not working on gameplay mechanics yet.

Do you get credited for tripwire kills? Anyone know?
