If I were him, and I saw you milling about I would have told my friend to hang back too, while I initiated contact.. In case you wern't so friendly. Or he never met the guy and was looking for you so all three of you could group up.

loving the removal of peripheral's. nice one ;)

^ what he said. whitelisting is kinda essential to avoid the skiddies mate.

yeah i haven't encountered a single hacker on UK46. maybe i've just been lucky? balotabuddies have a slightly extensive application process but it's for a reason. i definetely recommend it if you wanna avoid seeing flying cows in the future. or lay off the lucy ;)

um.. you killed him, dude. he should be rage-quitting, not you.

like most people have said, it depends entirely on the circumstances. i once capped a player in the back of the head while he was looting the corpse of another player he had just killed. that made me cackle like the cryptkeeper.

it does make you wonder what kind of reality we would be facing if society as we know it was to collapse, and people could live out their fantasies on the streets, in our homes etc with no judicial system in place? instead of acting them out in a virtual world.

i would have used the AS50 to watch the show up-close and personal.. ..from a nearby hilltop.

true that. to laugh that hysterically over shooting a bunch of virtual textures in the face suggests some underlying issues.

yeah, i guess sidechat can be an immersion-breaker at times.. ..but then so can a murderous barn door.

not true.. there are some private hives where your humanity score sticks. i die all the time, and im still a hero.

good one, sir. i like your style.

im sure the skins are still in.. i have the super stylish plaid hero shirt. unless its server-specific?

how have you managed that? 6 weeks without killing is feasible, but without being capped or sniped?

i've had no trouble 1-hit headshotting zombies either.. it's easily my fave sidearm. no aggro, and loads of ammo lying around. (obviously server dependant..)

not necessarily. you don't have to kill someone to relieve them of their burdens, so to speak. some bandits see more fun in leaving the would-be victim barely alive, with no supplies, wondering "why the f*ck didn't he just finish the job..?!"

gameplay mechanics look similar to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, think i'll give it a go.

private hives are definetely the way forward if you wanna avoid another episode like that mate.

the car wasn't a trap?

coming from someone who earlier in your post admitted 'killing a fresh spawn' and indulging in 'banditesque things'.. :huh:

why'd he stop? i would have mowed you down.. no offense.

as in, the game actively encourages you to make the game 'your own story..'. you know what i meant dude.

sounds good mate, PM'd ya.

OP asked if its still worth buying arma II, lets not have another release speculation thread eh peeps. id say its still worth getting mate, especially as its on sale on steam. theres no telling when standalone will drop so there could potentially be months of life (..and death) left in the current build.

happy '13 peeps! once more round the sun together eh :)
