Wait....the G17 has a built in flashlight? Playing for about a year, still a clueless noob.

I'm really enjoying the new update. It's added a whole new dimension for me, useless weapons become vital because loot is sparse. Zombies are a threat again. The infection adds a real sense of urgency and a reason to keep quiet. You get infected, your in the shit. Unless you are lucky enough to find antibiotics. My brother and I met in Cherno supermarket, freshly spawned. Before, I had found a couple of blood bags and some antibiotics in Balota. Score. I met another fresh spawn in the church on the way to the supermarket, bleeding, infected and traveling with an entourage. I dispatched the Z's with a hatchet, healed up the fellow and gave him my antibiotics. Good karma no? Within 5 mins I was infected. Our search for decent gear became a dash to find antibiotics. Nothing in Cherno and elektro. We checked every town on the way to the NWAF, finding nice weapons (m14 and DMR) but still no antibiotics. The NWAF had none. The only reason I had survived this long is because we both found blood bags. Whilst checking the barracks, my brother also became infected. Fuck. We made a decision - run as far south as we can, searching everything again until we die. We made it to Komarovo. We ran so far and found nowt. Hope was gone. My brother put me down with a shot to the head as I saluted our efforts. Awesome.

Sent u an email also. Sounds like a cool server.

I was on earlier (briefly) and the server was quiet, does it get busier?

Cherno supermarket - after observing a new spawn leg it in, followed by about 10 Z's, I decided to help. My trusty hatchet took out all the zombies, only for the player to find a pistol in the market and place a round in the back of my head whilst I was looting. Dick. I always try to make contact with a survivor that looks to be friendly, but if they don't respond I open fire. Only way to keep living, been stabbed in the back too many times.

I agree with the OP on the servers, (although I do enjoy having a few extra buildings - I cover more of the map, as do other players) I almost think of the "spawn with xxxx" as a completely different game. Arma with zombies. Everything is more available, therefore more disposable. That only leads to bad shit. The zombies are a bit toothless, but if you get cocky, one of those zombies will knock you the fuck out, and eat your face. I lost my 32 day old character because I ran into a barracks not giving a shit, and never had enough ammo to deal with the entourage. Night time is awesome.

I like this thread.

I have been killed way too many times after trusting somebody with a hatchet. The other day I met a fresh spawn in Balota, we exchanged hellos and I went on my way. He hacked me to death in the comms tower.

Listen you wee bint, I'm a very moral player, this was completely by accident. Wind your neck in. See yourself out of the thread if you have nothing nice or positive to say. Honestly, sometimes the people bitching about the KOS'ers are just as bad as the KOS'ers themselves.

Playing on Namalsk, I spawned in at Lubjansk and headed for Vorkuta. It's always been kind whenever I have visited, generally not too many bandits and loot aplenty. Having looted the residential buildings and rooftops, I headed to the school. I had managed to find a Czech backpack, ghillie suit, various tool belt items and a hatchet. No gun though. I entered the school through the right entrance. I went into 1st person (just in case) and headed into the small room on the left to look for loot. Nothing. I left the room, and turned look out the door I came in. No zombies, so I turned to make my way into the school. Not an instant later a survivor with a lee Enfield sprinted in front of me. I actually got a real fright, and accidentally clicked, swung my hatchet and killed him. Saved me a trip to the supermarket. Anyone have similar lucky experiences?

As a rule I do not shoot unarmed players, nothing to gain, plenty to lose. If I see a guy with a hatchet however I will shoot holes in him. F*****g hatchets......

Same thing happened to me and my brother, same place. I think it's a glitch.

My public hive player lived to the grand old age of 132 days. L85, camo, NVG'S, GPS, rangefinders....I was tooled up fully. I broke my leg on a gate, and being that the NWAF was closest, and me having no morphine, I made my way there. Took me a good 30 mins. Just as I am nearing the runway, I hear a vehicle. UAZ. It flies past me, only 40 metres or so away. They didn't spot me, lucky. The UAZ stopped outside the hangar nearest the control tower, and three bandits pour out, looking kitted out. Just then, I spot another survivor making his way from the barracks toward the bandits. They gunned him down mercilessly. That's it then, I thought. Try and get them before they get me. I could try and hide, but they might see me and kill me anyways. My Rangefinders tell me they are around 700 metres away. One of the bandits breaks away to check out the body of the slain survivor, the other two go into the hangar. I took two shots at the guy while he is looting the body, one hit one miss. He legged it to join his mates. Then, I see one of them lean out from the hangar, half a second later I was dead. Now, either this guy was an UNBELIEVABLE shot, or something funny was going on. First off, there's no way they could have seen me when I took the two shots at their mate. They were both inside the hangar. Second, he didn't take any time to range where I was at. He leant out, I didn't hear a shot, and I died. Gutted. I suspect there may have been fuckery afoot, but I don't even know if such a hack exists. There is always the chance that my killer was just a good shot. Meh.

I'm ok with improved Z hearing, and all the problems it brings. However, they should also have given us the ability to distract the zombies by making noise. Lobbing a bottle from a rooftop attracting every Z in a 100m circumference while you slip out the other way would really add a sense of realism.

Any recent developments?
