Cap'n (DayZ)

That's why we have bear traps :P

Well, zombies should be more of an equal threat as players. They should have a higher chance of infection(not zombie virus :P), and should do enough damage to make them a serious threat but not enough to be overpowered. I have my own personal theory as to why we are immune. Isn't it kind of strange how we can all exchange blood transfusions? Maybe we have a very rare blood type and the virus cannot attach and multiply off of our blood cells. The blood cells carry the virus to our brain, where it reproduces and takes control of our cognitive function. It then proceeds to kill only certain brain cells, leaving only the most basic functions intact(how to walk, scream, eat, drink, that kind of thing). This also makes the infected individual extremely violent, attacking any living thing within sight. But, a individual with said blood type can NOT be transmitted the virus because the virus cannot attach nor multiply off of their blood cells. Thus, they are immune to the virus. I assume that the virus was developed by the Chernarussian government under the guidance of the United States government. It was developed sometime after the South Zagorian war(play the campaign, its got a great story). It was developed at the Green Mountain radio tower, explaining the large presence of doctor/military zombies and the pile of dead bodies that I presume to be failed attempts at the virus. The viruses original intent was to be a biological weapon, but a mishap at the lab caused it to spread outside of the Green Mountain facility. The Chernarussian government is thus abandoned by its American allies and left alone to fight off the virus. After a year or so of military campaign, the military ceases to function as every solider has either died, succumbed to the infection, or deserted the military and become a survivor like us. With most, if not all of Europe and Asia also falling to the infection, the world would slowly collapse into chaos. I'm not going to imagine a scenario for the United States as I'd presume they'd have enough knowledge of the outbreak as they were the ones developing it(guiding the Chernarussian scientists), and would have closed down every airport, quarantine every city/town, and gone into hiding somewhere in the Rocky Mountain range. Thus, they abandon their own people who would eventually succumb to the infection from the fleeing refugees of Europe. Okay, let me catch my breath.

Well, I'd much rather find the Kobra version. But ever since I first found the Sa-58p, I've fallen in love with it! The sights are WAY better than any AK, takes AKM magazines, has zeroing, and looks freaking awesome! I took one three ghillie guys in Stary with it, all of them had L85's and M4's. I killed them all. I recommend this gun over anything(well, I usually turn down OP guns :P)

There is a small barn, a few kilometers down the road south from Polana. Its covered by the tree line from three angles, and I've found something useful there every time I stop by. There is a bus, sedan, and chopper crash spawn that within kilometers of the barn. I've found the sedan there just about every time. I have a few tents hidden in a patch of dense vegetation nearby, where I store food and ammunition: the useful things I find but don't carry with me everywhere. I keep a gun or two in the tent in case I die, so I can return and rearm. I've told stories by the fire to friends and strangers alike, and I now call it home. I find warmth, comfort, and peace away from the horror and hell of bandits and zombies.

I wished my CZ would turn into a road flare.

They'll get taken to court if they use them in the standalone, so I assume everyone else is right. It's a damn shame I don't get my own can brand, who cares if I don't have ten thousand posts or only been an active forum user for the last three months. People love me, right? RIGHT?!

That's an easy one, Thirsk.

I'd actually like to see a war between the United States and the United Kingdom. It's so boring seeing us take on all these tiny, Islamic insurgents in conflicts that are irrelevant to us. When was the last time we fought a NATO power? Never, if I'm not mistaken.

Man, you shouldn't put roadflares in the starter gear. Those things are way too overpowered. I can't count the times I've killed a helicopter with one. Oh wait, normal people have yet to master the roadflare. Carry on :P

There are good private hives, then there are bad private hives. I play on and off Balota buddies and I enjoy it quite a bit, but have moved on to a much nicer server.

I tried throwing roadflares at him. It was an hour crawl for morphine.

AKM > Everything else

Taviana. But I only play Chernarus(best looking map), because the rest just don't have that feel.

No offense, but I burst out laughing at your rig. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING but the most basic components should be replaced. Even an Intel HD 4000 would run this at about 40 frames on Low settings. Don't take offense, but your rig is beyond pathetic.

I prefer the M4A1 because I'm familiar with the sights(my father has an AR-15), and I have an easier time anticipating the recoil. The G36C is still a solid choice.

Does this mean I'll find flares in car wrecks?

Part of my brain died.

The standalone will be awesome. The fat chodes who don't even have the courage to press the "No" option won't in any way hinder my hope and trust in Rocket and the developers to deliver us a kick ass game. In other words, I won't mind the swim to Utes :P

I've always had a dream of writing a movie plot/script. If I ever get the chance, I'll be making a DayZ related movie. Not strictly DayZ related, but some outright references. How about, "The Days Ahead". I'm poking fun at the way people pronounce it, and making it sound sort of ambiguous. Now all I need is a budget of a few million, a producing company, actors, and a billion other stuff I have yet to consider.

Roadflares are not an option? This contest blows. I'd like a steam gift card though

I've found a Mi-17 before, but never that. I don't think I've ever flown a chopper, really. I've ridden in one, but I don't want to lose everything I have because I went too low on the treeline.

Give up Intel. You can get a much better processor for the money and get a pretty badass video card to pair it with. Your current card is pretty good, and could run DayZ on High(not max settings) at around 40 frames a second. My current rig maxes the game out and I get 40-50 frames on average. I've got a HD 7950 and an 8350 if you're curious. The 8350 is a much better processor than many of the lower-mid end i5's, and is very close to the 3570K in terms of performance. The price can't be beat, and you don't have to pay extra to have an unlocked one. And good AMD boards are a helluva lot cheaper than an Intel motherboard.

Just curious what music you like to listen to while playing the mod, or music you think suits the theme. For me, Metallica pumps me up for a riveting trip to Skalka or PvP with a British paralegal catch the reference? And I wish I could find the theme for "28 Days Later", so I can play that whilst getting chased by zombies.

That's only relevant to Americans and some Europeans(that never goes a long way). My CZ .22lr cost about six hundred brand new. I use it for school shooting team, and it has some damn fine accuracy. And the average person won't run across a M24 at a gun shop. The closest gunshop to us has two .338 Lapua's and a .300 BLK AR-15, yet they don't carry the M24. And when was the last time someone needed an M24 to hunt deer? I can't see it being any good for self defense, and it just seems overkill for hunting deer that are only 30 meters away from you.

People who use CZ550 are men. People who use M24 are military wannabe bandits who aren't good but for shits & giggles.
