  1. Rocket needs to choose his words more carefully. Got all excited like a puppy waiting for it's owner to walk in the door. I even peed on the floor. Now that it's a confirmed false alarm I have no choice but to destroy Dean's couch.
  2. :| I think you're a dumbass. One of us is right. Any guesses?

    Buying a macbook, need suggestions

    Neither, but that said the 8600m is around 55% better all around than the 9400m. So go with that one and buy 2x4gb sticks of ram. Hopefully that will breathe new life into it.

    Buying a macbook, need suggestions

    Thanks for posting in the wrong section. ;) Chances are standalone won't run on overpriced crapple macbooks. crapple's choice of mobile cards equivalent to a 9400 and 8600 gt don't help either -- especially given the premium price tag. Buy something real instead of something that "looks" cool, is overpriced, and is limited by what it can do.
  6. Single action armies are more of a design choice now than an actual model (think m1911 and amount of different variations and manufacturers). There are countless reproduction SAA throughout the world. You only hear about the multi-thousand dollar originals though. It's not impossible, and the simplicity could lend to a game altering stat -- like it's condition being hard to effect compared to a gun with a lot of moving parts.

[that covers snipers, lmgs, pistols, civilian rifles, military rifles (both current and surplus), and you guessed it-- shotguns.] Gun specific calibers like that used in the VSS, would be getting ridiculous. You would spend more time looking for magazines and ammo than anything else. I don't think people are thinking about the ammunition types of the weapons they're suggesting.

  9. ... what is there, like 24 million still in circulation around the world, with around 16 million in U.S. alone? That was like showing a picture of and AR or an AK variant. ;) Looks good though.

    that ... looks awesome. Edit: it's regular arma II they're using, but same concept.

    E3 and our attendance

    People are seriously complaining on the comment section that arma 2 movement is gone. "this looks like fucking shit. nothing like the arma 2 movement we all love.. look at the movement as he turns corners or switches directions while running. not smooth at all, terrible." "Does anyone else hate the cheesy / animated looking moving? I enjoyed the realism of arma movements..." Oh GOD! Reading these is slowly making me lose faith in humanity...

  13. Rule of thumb for free choice games without restrictions: " Hence why such a game hasn't been made. It's not the bandits that are a problem - you can avoid them. it's the wubdublensflarewarfieldofduty #45 players hoarding what should be anti-vehicle weaponry, sitting somewhere they're absolutely impossible to see outside a hotspot and dropping everyone they see because they can. Bandits steal gear, hence the term bandit and not just psychopath/sociopath - the current deathmatchers would rather just kill you and leave your body as bait to kill the next sap which is (dean voice) un-authentic feeling, note i didn't say unrealistic because for all I know you all are psychopaths and sociopaths. The increased high yield areas of the SA, the weapon down by default, the lack of ability to spawn in barrets and as50's with the amount of ammo needed to deathmatch will all factor into a more balanced game. But there will always be douchebags, and this game just empowers them. If you find that to be a problem it's time to find another game because any forced restriction will make 90% of the players playing quit, because well... you can figure that part out from your own post.
  14. I hope the clothing can be layered (where it makes sense) and we get some totally in style neon-pastel fanny packs/bum bags, maybe a rockin New Kids On the Block version. in all seriousness maybe different adjustable molle vests, where in you can find more molle pouches and increase your item space/quick bar slots, maybe a Camel bag with a finite number uses when at full instead of just one. A mag dump pouch to catch your empty mags instead of them dropping to the ground. example: like the vest is a prerequisite, and the proper pieces attach via right clicking and attaching. obviously not for a while, but food for thought.
  15. ... you know that's why they're taking all this time to set up the base code or leaving things open and (mostly) un-optimized at this point. This isn't UKD we're talking about where you have to bake the whole damn thing every time you want to change the tiniest thing forcing people to basically re-dl the game. You're such a freaking troll btw, just stop. I can't for the life of me understand why you haven't been banned for that condescending, rude, ignorant, flagrant and facetious attitude in every single one of your posts. I mean you're basically trying to say this is equivalent to WarZ, aren't you? Why the hell are you on the forums if you hate the game so much? It'd be like me joining a fansite for a show I don't like and will never watch, just to stand on a virtual pedestal to piss and moan like a 13 year old girl on her period. It isn't constructive and makes you look like a fool. Be thankful the mods have patience for your bs, because I lost it a long time ago.

    :o Why Isn't there an update? Rhinocrunch was right, standalone is a scam! Devs haven't been doing anything at all and nothing is new, so we should just play arma 3 dayz {where nothing is new except the bugs} Said: No person capable of using the adaptive concepts of logical reasoning and google search. :beans: :thumbsup:
  19. All skyrim mods are free but you need to own the game they're for. That's what a mod is. You didn't compensate the people on the mod what so ever for their free time they decided to put in, bringing you FREE CONTENT to an existing title. Some people are just... I'll stop there to save one of the mods the need to edit this post. But know it wasn't going to be nice. <_<
  20. You just went full retard. I own two type-53's, an m38 and a 91/30. The 53's are the chinese m44's produced on russian machinery from '53 - '56 before the Chinese demanded SKS manufacturing equipment. They are the most used and abused of any mosin variant still considered "serviceable". My two were used in Vietnam extensively and it showed before I refinished them and re-blued the metal. The bad rap they get now is because idiots with no smithing ability what-so-ever picking them up and expecting some kind of godly accuracy off the bat with no work. Most of them have absolutely no crown left on the barrel with marred rifling or no rifling for the first couple mm from victor and charlie ramming their steel barbed cleaning rod down the barrel without the guide. You simply have to re-crown the barrel to see a considerable decrease in group size. Dirt fouling? It's one of the most reliable platforms on the planet. Maybe your dumb-ass ran corrosive surplus through it and decided never to clean it. Front heavy? I'm almost sure you don't own one now as that isn't the case with any 91/30 I've held. m44's and T-53's yes, because of the added weight of the bayonet swivel vs the shortened barrel length. http://imageshack.us/a/img401/8700/imag0017iz.jpg - original stock compared to a steamed, sanded and stained one http://imageshack.us/a/img850/3392/imag0019vw.jpg - both stocks finished one stained and sealed, one just sealed http://imageshack.us/a/img16/6427/imag0059gd.jpg - left was re-blued, right still has the original finish Anyway, moral is, if my rifles managed to survive the humid jungles of vietnam in the hands of peasant farmers, I'm sure it will withstand just about anything.

    So we're officially getting highlighted mod text when the WarZ fails? ;)
  22. I'd like to see a Mosin Nagant variant somewhere in game... One of the most mass produced rifles in the world with between 17-21 million in civilian hands. 7.62x54r is the same round the pkm uses, so it could use that, and there are large amounts of surplus and current supply ammunition. You would have to assume they would be floating around the area. Makes more sense than the Enfield No.4 chambered in 303 British.
