As much as I try and stay on topic with my posts I'll weigh in with my thoughts on the introduction of Heli's if they are ever introduced. Since the current engine is a modified version of the 'Take on Helicopters' engine then I'd say that every single aspect of Heli flight in 'ToH' is carried over. This includes full start up and shut down procedures and the default is Maximum difficulty. Zero aids whatsoever. You want to play apocalypse pilot?... Yes! Then you best get yourself a copy of 'ToH' so you can do the appropriate 'Training' in order to have the necessary skills to pilot the chopper because that's the only chance you're going to have to get any practice in. Then and only then would I say that it's acceptable to introduce choppers into the game. And that's not even getting into the requirements and processes required to maintain and fuel the damn thing. Now I just heard a massive outburst and a wall of flame rushing towards me...... :o "WTF!! You expect me to buy another game in order to play one aspect of this one???? FLAME ON!!!". Well why not. It's good for sales and maintains a sense of realism and simulation that makes a game of this sort satisfying. Also, just give it a week or two and there will be a whole host of YouTube guides for you to watch. There are too many suggestions and requests that basically translate into "Can I haz standalone likez the Overwatch Mod plz" or "Can I haz this game eazy mode plz". I for one want this game to be as hard as possible where doing the most basic of things is in itself a small achievement and gives a much greater sense of immersion and realism and satisfaction, and I know I'm not the only one out there. And Please........ PLEASE, can we have a lot of the aspects of the ArmA ACE mod brought into the game. Real life isn't as easy as point and click :P Now..... Sorry OP, I have gone way off topic with this one but after reading the discussion turn to Heli's I just couldn't help myself. Forgive me for I have dropped my Beanz :blush:

Nice vid. Well edited (What software?) Take some Beanz and another Sub :thumbsup: :beans:

Go to filter and make sure there's no info typed in there. Also ensure that Ping is set to Zero and full servers are set to show.

Also the spawn locations were changed I believe and you can no longer spawn further west than Elektro. As for the gear wipe wait a few minutes before logging into a new server to allow the database to catch up

That's as inaccurate as a Standalone M4..................... Once you force the air out of the gap between the body and ground the ground will begin to absorb the heat from your body and dissipate it. Basically speeding the process up. Thermal clothing is based on the principle of trapping air to create an air gap and insulating it so it retains the heat. Please educate yourself on the subject before posting random brain farts.

I'm not that big on coding and I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement into the current game but I know there are a few Mod Servers out there that have this up and working. Alt+F4 = Character wipe. There is no reason at all that Alt+F4 is an acceptable way to exit the game. Even if issues arise there is Alt+Tab or the extreme case requiring Ctrl+Alt+Delete We don't get their lootz but neither do they.

IED's Need a hammer, Nail, .45 round, large gas tank (correct name eludes me, one for the camping stove) , Rope. Can be placed in doorways. Rope is visible and can be defeated by jumping over or using a knife. Should be good for a laugh. :lol:

As requested Also about the M4's accuracy. The M4 can be made into an Accurate rifle with the addition of the Magpul Handguard and Stock. Dispersion in the stock format is laughable though. Regardless of how familiar anyone thinks they are with the rifle if your sight is on target and within range it should hit unless the rifling has been shot out of the barrel which is what this seems to simulate. Maybe thats something we could see in the future, replaceable barrel in attachments, muzzle breaks etc in varying conditions. But that's a different discussion altogether.

No. Just No. Now don't get me wrong, I love sniping and I'm pretty damn good at it. I love the M107, AS50, Lapua and DMR. I also have a soft spot for the good old CZ550 as it's a grat LOL sniper. But really 12.7x99mm NATO (.50 BMG) have no place in standalone. Why can't I haz????? I hear you cry. For the simple fact that it just doesn't fit. We are in a post apocalyptic psuedo-Russian province that's been over run by Zombies (Well hopefully when optimization allows more of them) and we are the last of the survivors (Civilians no less) who must roam this land in search of Beanz and the lesser spotted can opener. We are not Military units, there are no substantial weapon armouries. There are no Allied bases bar some tents. When forces respond to a situation like a medical crisis, which this would have been the military do not send special forces or sniper teams loaded with anti-material rifles so in keeping with the theme you're not going to find any regardless. There are some weapons I'd like to see such as the M16, M14, some silenced pistols (where's my Makarov SD???) and some others that would be in keeping with a Medical Military deployment but I really don't want to see this go the way of the mod. The Mod will never Die so if you need that .50 fix then you may as well fire that up because in my opinion having those things lying around will just push the game further back into the Mod's territory and I'm sure that's what they're trying to get away from. Also 'Rocket' has never once said he'd ban PvP and acknowledges that it's an essential part to the game, he only wants to shift the focus and bring a bit of interaction back into the game. Don't get me wrong. KoS is fine for some and I will do it myself depending on the situation but again I won't kill an unarmed person and rarely will I shoot at a lone player unless they look like they're actively hunting. Right that's all on that as I'm going off topic now.

Dude, I had the same issue, then I would get in and get an 'Authentication Timeout'. Now I'm in fine but my 15 day old character has been reset. Had everything you could ever want and all pristine. "Pissed the Fuck Off" doesn't even cover it. Well, off to find some more Beanz... >:(

Lol seriously.... Point 1 was a sarcastic comment on the subject as it's something you hear through your speakers/headset every 30 seconds when playing those games (yes, I play them too, A LOT :) ). Although I do appreciate that the written word does not always read with the intended tone. No idea where all the elitest bullshit came from, I certainly never said nor think I am more privileged than you or anyone else. I only have what I've worked for. So once you've cleaned all the sand out of your vagina and changed your tampon please feel free to go about your business in a cheerful, stress free manner ;)

1 - save the term "Campers" for CoD and BF. In a real apocalypse situation I'd be finding the the best area to secure myself and camp the shit out of it... 2 - Sniping is balanced. The role of sniping is to be able to observe and engage targets from a disguised position at range. If your that fed up of getting sniped then make yourself aware of your surroundings and learn to move in cover, duck under windows etc. :)

This has made my night. May the beans of a thousand virgins rain down on you

Wow, have you considered anger management? I see no place for that kind of attitude on a community forum. Chill out and put your opinion across politely. It is after all 'only a game'. I don't agree with removing 3rd Person as such but I can see how it can give an unfair advantage in many situations and provoke anger in those who prefer a different play style. What could be looked into is making the 3rd Person view more restrictive, for example take GoW over the shoulder view. Your FOV is dependant on your surroundings, everything closes in as you approach walls, enter buildings etc. This also takes the ability to periscope over walls, round corners etc yet still gives you a more realistic FOV and helps those who want to see the sights when running across the map, suffer motion sickness and headaches. You could go as far as being able to flat your character against walls to peek corners in a more realistic way. I don't know how hard that would be to programme into the game but it is something I would like to see and I believe it would be the best compromise between those who want both or FP only. Just my 2p

Good work, enjoyed reading that. Where's part 2 ;) :beans: for your talent

Hahaha - No 'Add to Basket' Beans for him XD On a serious note it sounds like something big is going to go down in Syria. Just hope the peaceful among them are not caught in the crossfire.

Excellent - Have some beans for your journey

Haha, true story bud. Was reading the thread with interest then saw that and thought WTF!!! Couldn't help myself. Back on topic... do different rifles have different characteristics such as accuracy and ranging?
