Except that this is basically the same as how in the mod you'd come over a hill and see zombies in a town and know that someone was already there. Zombies will not move unless you get within a certain distance of them, it has nothing to do with aggro Come over a hill, and look at a town. Are the zombies wandering around? Yes? Someones already there No? Then no one is in the town

Expecting nothing means that when something happens, I'll be pleasantly surprised. But if it crashes and burns I can go "Told ya so". Started off super optimistic and hyped about SA, but now it's 2016 and DayZ updates are more surprising to see than Terraria updates.

Thought I'd swing back in for round two with this. If SA weren't a product that you had to fork over real world moneys for, then yeah, it wouldn't need a review system because you could just download it for free and give it a whirl. But no, it costs something like 35 bucks now. People have a right to know about the state and quality of a product if they're supposed to pay for it. And Steam gives a better platform for reviewing, because lets face it, if you don't like a game you're not going to hang out on the forums or its subreddit and talk about how shit it is, you're going to write a review somewhere and pretend it doesn't exist. Steam Review is far less biased than the echo chambers that are the games official forums.

Shouldn't be allowed to sell a game that hasn't released yet.

Namalsk just felt good. It felt barren, creepy, and cold. You were utterly alone and if felt that way. The wide swathes of barren tundra made moving around tense, since you had little to no cover. The ambient noise was great, the wind blowing across the barren land just sounded great, there were no birds, no bugs, nothing lived here. The bunker under A2 was awesome, the massive pit at A1 was spooky. The body temperature mechanic actually being useful was a nice change, since the whole map was pretty damn cold, and the southern mountain range even more so. When you walk around Chernarus, its quaint little farm towns nestled in happy fields. Namalsk was dull, there were no happy fields, no quaint towns. Just barren tundra, thin pine forests, towering commie blocks, and military bases standing guard over dark secrets. The map was marketed as being harsh and unforgiving, and it felt that way.

Namalsk. We need Namalsk, that was the single greatest map I've ever had the pleasure of playing on. The atmosphere was just perfect. Oh, and Lingor, the jungle was great fun. The problem with wanting a big urban area is that the game shits the bed trying to handle Chernogorsk, imagine a 10x10km map with that sort of urban density. (Although for some reason Fallujah ran REALLY well) <1 fps for days.

It'll be great for mowing down zombies if/when they ever get added. But for now, mowing down squads at 300m will have to suffice.

First off, fixed your post, formatting your text like you're a tween posting on her blog doesn't make your opinion fact. Secondly, could you not be butthurt for like five seconds? Third, show me on the doll where teh ebil sniper meanies touched you. As for the OP, when I played I generally had: Mosin with LRS (yeah, its been a while) CR75 as a sidearm (I'm a sucker for CZ75s, so I actually knocked my friend out and stole this from him when he picked it up) Ruined Kitchen knife because muh bloody knife Flecktarn Boonie Aviator's (Everyone loves aviators) Drab Vest Green Raincoat/TTSKO Jacket Brown Hunter Pants Wellies Hunting Backpack (low profile, nice color, can look over shoulder in first person) Some tips, use the freelook function to move look around rather than moving your whole body, its alot harder to spot you this way. if you think you're in concealment, from 100m or so you're actually not. You are not being sneaky crouching in that bush. Get a friend and a rangefinder, sniping with DayZ scopes is horrible since you don't have any good scope markings to reference for range. Alternatively, carry a rangefinder and mark the distances to various landmarks from your hide and do some guesstimation on the fly based on relative position from these landmarks. Taking a bunch of shots from one spot is a no-no, take some shots, reposition. If you spend an hour plinking away from the same spot, someones going to come and relieve you of your rifle. Scope some good spots out, then rotate, do your best to not be seen while moving. Good spots usually have some form of hard cover on hand in case you start taking fire, rocks, trees, and buildings are all great but be aware that once people know there is a sniper they'll usually look at some of the more obvious places for you. I'm not sure if its been fixed, but the ranging marks on ACOGs and PSOs didn't work when I played because the magnification was fucked on those rifles. Good luck, and happy hunting.

That might've been it, I think the last time I actually played DayZ private hives might not have been a thing yer

Wasn't attempting to enforce PvE a no-no for server hosts awhile ago? Whatever happened to that rule.

I can count the number of times I was killed with an AT4 (because the mod didn't have the RPG) during the years I've played the mod on one finger. Rifles will still be more ubiquitous and easier to murder people with, an RPG will be used for that special someone.

At this point I just check patch notes and ctrl+f "Zombie". If I get zero hits I go back to shooting red crosses in EvE, because somehow that is more enjoyable than SA right now.

"and then wait until CAS/Fire support obliterates there position"

They probably went to the same place all the infected did.

So I gotta ask. If we had a low number of zombies since launch because of issues with populating zombies and loot at the same time. And then removed them around the time the CLE, a much heavier system, was implemented. When are we getting them back? I know they're making a new renderer, but are they rebuilding the engine too or something?
