I think there may be too many participating in this thread for one team, but maybe some of you guys can get with eachother and form a few groups -
Plastic Bottles making temporary suppressors.
HouBaby74 replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
<br /><br />I'm a bit of a gun freak. Own many myself, but lack the legal stuff to own a suppressed firearm. <br /><br />Basically, a supressor is a lengthened, thicker barrel with the same diameter of the original, with (depending on the quality of supressor and caliber of weapon) 3-5 individual individual chambers that capture the gases from the explosion of being fired, thus lowering the amount of gas that escapes the barrel, and therefore lowering the noise level of the shot. <br /><br />A supressor made of a water bottle would essentially be a supressor, made of a thin material, that would not absorb sound well or handle the exploding gas well, and have one chamber.The effects of suppression can be greater if subsonic ammo is used, which is basically ammo that is loaded with a smaller amount of powder in order to prevent breaking the sound barrier, which is one of the factors of the loud "BANG" you hear when firing a gun -

Sure but I won't be home until tomorrow afternoon -
Shoot bandits on sight. Watch survivors closely. If their behavior appears to be hostile to others, put them down. Blood transfusions to EVERYONE who needs them who isn't a bandit. Not really a ROE but whatever

How many of you bought arma 2 just for dayz?
HouBaby74 replied to Minariability's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Bought every ARMA game ever made last year as part of a sale, including DLC never played it much. Just too damn clunky. Got to the point that I was getting pretty bored with gaming in general. Nothing had that one thing that made it fun. All just cut and pasted of other games in their genres. I started reading about the WarZ fiasco and DayZ was mentioned a lot so I looked it up, not knowing it was an ARMA CO mod. I installed it and I've loved it -
Plastic Bottles making temporary suppressors.
HouBaby74 replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
This is a good idea IMO, and for the suppressor to stay on longer the player could use subsonic ammo which would be more rare than standard ammo. Maybe 10 shots with subsonic and 3 or 4 with standard ammo. Maybe allow the diameter of the plastic bottle block the iron sights of most weapons. -
I really like this idea. Beans to you

I think making a team would be in order if you guys are up to it -
I've run into bugs before where there are obviously ammo and beans an such, yet they can't be interacted with in the outhouse

I won't be in town until a few days from now but I'd be glad to add you and play some. Add me on STEAM- headshot52118 -
It was my first time ever playing DayZ. I started near lighthouse at Komarovo completely unarmedand made my way towards what I didn't know to be Balota at the time. I was being cautious, I had read stories about the hostilities of Zeds and especially other humans. I opened 2 gates to the medical center and didn't find enough loot to justify upsetting the Zeds. I crouch-runned out and eventually after walking around in circles for a bit saw an airfield and some hangars. Which I didn't know at the time to only be about a 30-second run from the medical center. I loot a random tent sitting right in front of a barrack that had a Makarov and some beans. I crawl into the barrack, as the Zeds are walking circles around the baracks. I am lucky enough to find a M4A3 CCO with 4 clips of ammo. I'm set then, so I crouch walk to the forest line only to see a few Zeds running in a random direction. I knew someone else Was around. Was he stalking me? I had no idea, so I crouch in the forest watching to see if I can see him. He's lightly armed, or from what I could see. I keep watching him, he checks the tent. It must have been his. I continue watching him as he then was apparently distraught about finding his tent empty. He patrols around the baracks and then goes inside. At this I crouch-run off. I had no idea where I was going, and eventually after much running I end up at what I believe to be the NW Airfield. I crouch-run to the back of the tower, and to my surprise a figure emerges from the top, I put my gun on him and his tag reads "Bandit (TJ)". He then apparently tries to climb down the ladder. He doesn't see me, so as he is is walking around the top railing he stops, I assumed he was checking his kit. I took the opportunity and gave him one quick one to the head. He would have done the same if he saw me. I then make my way to his body and loot it. "POP POP POP" I hear in the distance. Followed by sounds from a different gun. I make my way to the hangars, thinking that I was safe from the conflict, at least for now. After looting 2 hangars I slip into the third from the side, I get about 30 ft. into the hangar and I hear "CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK" I turn as I'm being fired upon and unload as many shots as possible into two crouching figures, both bandits. I like to think that I hit and injured, maybe hopefully killed one of them, but I died too soon. They knew I was in there. They had been stalking me. They had the drop on me because I got too comfortable. Based on this experience I will never, ever trust anyone with the bandit skin, and I will hunt them and kill them wherever I can find them. I will kill them on site regardless of what they are doing or what their kit is.

To Shoot or not to shoot; how do you decide?
HouBaby74 replied to zachgibson22's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If they have the bandit skin they die. Regardless of if they see me or not. Even if I have fresh spawn gear and a crappy pistol I'll still sneak them and kill them. Better for me to have their better gear. Also, if they fire a warning shot without typing or talking on the mic they die. If I see them kill another player, especially a Bambi or hero skinned without probable cause I kill them. -
How Much Blood do Zombies Take When They Hit A Player?
HouBaby74 replied to Patri0t (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I've had some hits that do little damage and others that send me into a crazy bleeding frenzy -
This app is well made. I hate not having a map spawned with me on some servers so this is great for knowing where I am. I would've easily payed $.99 for this app. The weapon stats and everything are very cool
