I think everyone would try to make their character as small and monkey-like as possible in order to present a smaller target...

Yup, and no loading rounds individually (which is generally a huge advantage, but annoyingly unrealistic).

It's kind of hard to cut your leg off with a butterfly knife. No swords. Machetes would make more sense and do the same job.

I already posted my opinion but I really don't want to see gimmicks like exploding ammunition in the mod or the standalone. Next we'd have survivors firing wasps out of crossbows like in Oddworld...

Actually it does model bullet penetration and you can shoot people out of certain armoured vehicles. What it doesn't model properly is armour... as far as I can tell, armour just means "lots of extra hit points". An RPG-7 can't take out a T-34 in one shot even though it could easily destroy a T-34 or a Tiger or any other WWII tank, but the same RPG-7 can take out an Abrams or a T-90 in a few shots, even though that would almost certainly not happen in real life. Not to mention the terrible Stryker armour with non-functional SLAT or the ERA that doesn't E.

Maybe they have crappy computers... sometimes it seems like my mouse is attached to my cursor with a rubber band. Last night I was in a convoy and despite the fact we had the same vehicles, the other guy ended up 1000m ahead of me because my frames were pretty low. Gah.

While their rounds perforate your aluminum body panels.

Great for running over every fresh spawn in Elektro as their rounds bounce uselessly off your steel hull!

I think that's fair. Sneak up behind someone, aim, and click your mouse as fast as possible before they can react. If they see you you probably wouldn't be able to easily kill them.

I know, right... I'd take a Sharps. :D Like so:

Nah, I know my way around pretty well, I'm not too concerned about how I spell Solnichniy or Nizhnoye or Elektrozavodsk. I thought this was about cowboys and Indians...

The problem with knives is that they are usually insta-kills in a game, which is fine for arcade shooters but would bug the hell out of me in a simulator like ArmA or the standalone. I can ASSURE you that you're not going to be able to easily and quickly kill someone with a knife unless you're extremely well trained or very lucky. Have you seen the way hogs thrash and squeal when hunters stick them with huge 12-inch blades? And that's with the help of several dogs pinning the hog down. You're not going to be able to go full ninja and instantly take out enemies in real life. Yes, you can kill someone with a knife. No, it's probably not going to be fast or silent, and if they hear you sneaking up you may as well forget about dispatching them in any sort of timely manner.

I don't know about knives... seeing as even the most powerful handgun takes more than a full magazine to kill someone, I don't see a knife being more powerful.

I've always wanted to have a cap gun added.

It depends, usually places with the much taller trees or more densely wooded areas.

You need to talk to this man.

The public hive servers are usually the ones with names like "US 3885" or whatever. They're not allowed to have custom names. Unfortunately their number has dwindled and they're often hacked, and some admins breach the public server rules.

Yup, but players have about twice as much health as they do in ArmA2.

Wasteland is fun but it's a lot more casual than DayZ.

I get highly annoyed by anyone who typs lyk thes or anyone who has a squeaky or nasal voice. That tends (not always) to be younger players.

Night before last I was playing on a server, and I went to check the map... some hacker had put up red global text near the NWAF that read something like "These Battleye bypasses will work for your hacks: http:///tinyurl blah blah blah"

I knew Pinkie Pie was awarded tens of thousands of dollars for hacking Google... never thought she would set her sights on DayZ.

Damn...!

Pinkie Pie was hacking?

There is no 720p. The most shocking thing in that video was how ineffective the handgun caliber weapons are. That guy at the end shot you multiple times from close range... these need to be buffed!
