Coulda been the m14 aim. Its rapid firing and sounds kinda like the OP described. Plus its 8000 blood per hit. I loved my aim. Lost it when I glitched through a roof in namalsk and slid off into the water and the guy I was tracking shot me in the head with an M249.

Infections and defecation. Lots of YES\NO question about it for Rocket.
bigdogsco replied to DZR_Mikhail's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hmm I don't think I've ever played a game where there has been such an in depth discussion about the role of poop. I don't know what worries me more, the fact that such a discussion is taking place or that its in the game in the first place. I'm actually rather intrigued! -
Don't worry a lot of the players out there are just as new as you!
-
Just to clarify, mildots can be used to calculate range based on tatget height AND to set an aim point on rifles that cannot be zeroed (dmr) once you have calculated range.

http://www.dayzpvp.com/ultimate-dayz-graphics-settings-and-tweaks-guide/ I don't think this is the exact one I meant but looks helpful!
-
I've read elsewhere that turning settings down reduces fps performance. Seems kinda counter intuitive to me but the explanation made sense at the time. I will see if I can find it.

You lot are going to turn this newbie away from this lovely community with your nonsense! Hi shadoe. What time zone are you in? If you're near GMT you might see me around. I'm usually friendly. USUALLY!
-
If you have been hit even once by a zed it can make you shake. Your poor fps may also be a symptom of a server that needs restarted or is near capacity. Have you tried a few servers?
-
Or if your on namalsk you're cold Ninja'd!
-
Yeah they do. Eg dmr has two levels of zoom. The mil dots represent different ranges/bullet drop at different zooms. Dayz wiki has more detail. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/DMR

Pot, kettle? How ironic. Spam as a response to spam. I'm sure one of the moderators will delete the robots account.

How do I put stuff in a backpack?
bigdogsco replied to JimJam (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Plus make sure you're not looking at a loot pile while your managing your inventory. If so you will just be transferring stuff to/from the loot pile. -
Plus when you get the very best military loot you become paralysed with fear that you're going to lose said loot. I'm never happier than when I'm running about with a Winchester or an AKM. I can look after myself quite nicely with that thank you very much :)

is it possible to play Namalsk without background sound
bigdogsco replied to nitropussy's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I know what you mean. The noise of kids in the background is kind of creepy but doesn't really fit with dayz. It seems more supernatural than anything and it makes the more important noises like faint gunfire in the distance harder to notice. -
My orienteering skills are borne of the server eating my vehicles and making me give up on them.
-
Good advice from steak. Navigating on foot after a catastrophic vehicle failure is his speciality.
-
I flipped one on the bridge south of vybor. I was gutted cos it was loaded with quality loot. Luckily there was a bus in vybor that didn't need much work. Phew!

Suggestions for what I should do
bigdogsco replied to dudethesmasher's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Go play king of cherno. Take on all comers till they getcha! -
Remove all military sniper rifles....
bigdogsco replied to gozzgug's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
So maybe the crashed choppers shouldn't be American Hueys then. Maybe a nice Wessex or Lynx -
Remove all military sniper rifles....
bigdogsco replied to gozzgug's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Maybe treat the .50 cals like vehicles. A limited amount per server and they respawn if the player who holds it is offline for a week? -
Can you rely on zombies to signal that another player is around over long distances?
bigdogsco replied to Leto (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Maybe have a read at this thread you might find it useful http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/86751-demystification-of-the-dayz-loot-spawn-system-spoiler/page__fromsearch__1 -
Of course using the word geezer would require some explanation for the majority of the forum inhabitants. But back on topic, I've always found these forums to be friendly and welcoming. For the most part anyway!
-
Play on an empty server until you have got the hang of the controls, zombie behaviour and the looting/inventory system. Then hit up a populated server and find out why the average lifespan is only an hour.

How do you save things/stash in this game?
bigdogsco replied to Wolverine22's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Your stuff is gonna disappear. Leaving it in a high traffic area like an airfield just means its gonna be faster than if its in the middle of nowhere. -
Don't do what Minecraft did...
bigdogsco replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I believe that's why the standalone will have a custom engine. I for one am amazed at how playable DayZ is just now considering how much of a cut'n'shut it all is. Seeing what Rocket and co have done bolting this mod onto the arma 2 engine leaves me positively giddy (yes i said giddy!) with anticipation for the standalone and any new features they care to offer me.
