This is a map issue, which would take a while to edit. It would probably be more beneficial to just switch to a different map *Cough* Island Panthera or Lingor *Cough*

For just a low price of $9001, you too could own the newb tent 2000! Utilizing nanobot and holographic technology, this tent is nigh indestructible and also requires a password to enter (By using our top-secret nano LCD screen) to hold your precious beans for safekeeping.

That's what happens when you play Dayz high on PCP.

It's called a moon clip.

Takistan would be a great map in my opinion to play on due to the amount of buildings and town structures, especially compounds around homes would make quick defenses for survivors and bandits alike.

Pretty sure he is, but he more than likely love us better if some of us stopped being carebears, stop wanting change (It's an Alpha guys, things will be added or it would be a final product), and for the love of god stopped flinging around our fallacies (Majority of the opinions I've seen here) as facts.

Big Game Bandit: Forget killing survivors with CZ's and Makarovs, Give me the big fish carrying silenced M4's and night-vision.

I don't always listen to music while in the zombie apocalypse, but when I do, it's from the 28 Days Later Soundtrack.

The only robbing at point-blank range I do is taking their look from their dead hands.

Looks like the hospitals are going to be full for awhile. *Inserts mag into DMR*

The default key for that is V

We should probably send messengers to the servers to try and spread the word.

As long as you're a bandit skin there is no earning trust from anyone. Just stalk around, be observant, and wait for your chance to strike.

We need to formulate a better plan. . . The people are starting to turn.

It doesn't really have to be people "stumbling" onto me (which has happened), it's the fact of people being aware to me. I can only cover one area effectively at a time using magnified optics (Which that window gets smaller the close the target is to me) rather than someone using irons on an accurate weapon being able to canvass an area better than I can, because they don't have something limiting their peripheral vision. Having a scoped weapon only gives me a significant advantage at range due to magnification, shooting someone at range with a Lee-Enfield can be just as effective to certain distances, with a better situational awareness to add to that. Sneaking through a town with a scoped weapon (Magnified, not red dot) is certain suicide with zombies running around, limiting my effectiveness with said rifle almost to 0 because of me practically shooting from the hip. Making me switch to a sidearm. To the ammo thing, no I do not magically spawn anything because I'm not a cheater in any shape way or form. Plus, you can ammo for the DMR in other places other than military bases http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html such as fire houses and deer stands. Quick edit: Having a weapon with magnified optics can easily throw me into situation where someone with even a makarov can out-do me easily due to visibility.

Obviously not everything...hence the suggestion thread. I have no issues with guns' date=' shotguns and even the lee (which can shoot people quite far as well, just no scope) because they're not easy mode if you're goal is to kill other players and these weapons are actually among the ones people use for zombies. As said, scoped rifles are ONLY there to kill players, in mostly total safety and they are VERY common (it's not rare to find a couple in barns alone). Unlike other weapons, which create social interactions most of the time, or at least a wee bit of danger since the aggressor needs to get closer, the scoped weapons do not provide any interactions, nor any danger, hence are detrimental. At least that's my queue on it. [/quote'] First off, Scoped rifles are not easy mode. The most obvious reason being: Tunnel Vision, and with the hunting rifle in mind sound. Secondly, I mainly use a DMR, which I kill more zombies with than players. Plus, they are no-where near as safe seeing how I have to frequently move to avoid being counter sniped by someone with another scoped weapon. Or being rushed by my flank by someone without one. Thirdly, I have great social interactions with other players by being able to provide overwatch for them and being able to scout for them, giving them safety to go on with our mission.

Hunting Rifles, pistols, and shotguns in general are highly common among a civilian populace (Especially rural areas) for hunting and recreational use. Even in a post-Soviet country I'm certain they're not that hard to come across. Same with optics, you can find optics cheap that work just fine, and just as evenly abundant in sporting stores. Also, the fact that firing off said hunting rifle, Lee-Enfield, DMR, etc. Will promptly ring the dinner bell for just about every zombie in the area, which in my opinion is just fine. Which bring me to my next topic: We should make everything rarer because its so easy for any newb to get a gun and start killing people /sarcasm. Observation and awareness is whats getting people killed not the guns they use. My only qualm with the Alpha so far is the rareness of Soviet era weaponry so far.

The military would more than likely just drop a nuke from a airplane rather than have guys drive it into a town.

Pretty long actually, I only die due to science or bugs.
