CS14

Just late last week I was running over the top of the mountain mid-way between Cherno and Elektro when all of a sudden I see a guy turn around and shoot me a few times with his M4A1 while I went prone and shot at him with my Lee Enfield. Just as I shot him he somehow manages to log and I somehow was still alive after taking multiple shots with an M4A1 at a close enough range to where aiming wasn't even necessary. Just this past Friday (02/22/12) my buddy and I were heading out of Cherno after looting it and having to finish a guy in the supermarket when all of a sudden we both hear shots and a few zombies behind us started falling dead. At first we thought maybe someone was just trying to shoot the zombies to help us due to the fact we attracted what seemed like the whole town after getting into a gun fight at the supermarket. We were wrong. As I'm just hitting the wood line I suddenly get shot in the leg and loose a small amount of blood, yet surprisingly enough I wasn't bleeding nor did I have to bandage myself. At that point my buddy and I realized we were being attacked and we were making our way through the woods way from Cherno and towards our camp. I decided to fall back while my buddy kept heading towards the direction of our camp and I quickly looped around to see if that guy was following us. What do you know? I see him running just a bit farther in the woods and I began full on sprinting at him. I followed him for a good minute or so, extremely surprised he hadn't seen me then when he stopped I shot him a few times with my M16. Thinking I didn't kill him (thought he passed out as he hit the ground right away) I rushed towards him more, firing more and more shots. Long story short, got shot a few times while running loosing hardly any blood. There have been a few instances where I was surprised to have even survived after being shot, other times have been falling and not dying where as I've died previously at a lower fall.

Holding up players doesn't always seem to work out well when the player being held will try to fight even if they are heavily over-powered. Hell, I've even been face to face with a guy waving a rifle and a ghille suit and ended up killing them with a Makarov just because I didn't want to loose anything I had, regardless of how little it was. I've only been able to successfully hold up one player and that was when I was covering my buddy with a DMR while he approached the guy and informed him that I was watching. We didn't do it to rob the player, we did it to make sure they didn't have any hostile intentions, and that was until his buddy started running up and I shot him in the back before he could even realize what happened. Although I'm guilty of trying to rambo myself out of a few situations like this, it would be nice to hold up players without having to kill one another.

I personally don't agree with killing fresh-spawns or unarmed players for no reason yet I don't try to be friendly to every single player I run into. When I first started playing I tried not to kill anybody and tried to be that "good guy" and where did that get me? Dead. Now when I play alone or with my friends I don't trust anyone and will usually put down anyone that comes across me as it's not worth the risk. Where has playing like this got me? A camp with 6+ tents in multiple locations and pretty much every gun I can ask for plus longer survival time. I've never been the type to shoot fresh-spawns or unarmed players (aside from one time when what seemed to be an unarmed player following my buddy and I towards our camp. Turned out they had a gun with no ammo and was trying to get their friend to come kill us for our guns) and I don't find anything fun about it.

6 is actually a bad tip. I think it'd be better playing at night due to the fact players (unless they have NV goggles or brightness/gamma turned up) and zombies won't see you as easily. Use the darkness to your advantage. If you stumble upon a player and they don't see you, follow them for a bit and see if they have a base and what not. You can also have some fun at night. See a player in a town all alone? Why not spook him out a bit by throwing flares and chemlights near him. Pretty fun B)

Personally I find putting a bunch of crap around your tents/base/whateveryouwannacallit makes it easier to spot. Find a good hiding spot that isn't near the shore and you should be fine. Go somewhere else, and try to find it a few times. If you can easily spot it, move it until you have difficulty seeing it as you approach.

The side of the road I drive on is the road I make.. AKA wherever I want it to be :P

I'd agree and say that try not to fall in love with your gear. The more I play, the less attached I get to my gear. Hell, I wasted like 4 DMR mags last night just to have some fun killing zombies and didn't care cause I knew I'd find ammo for it again and if not I'd probably find another, better gun. After having some accidents (breaking your leg from going prone too close to a tree, accidentally falling off roofs, etc.) you'll quickly loose any attachment to gear.

Combined Operations is both regular ArmA 2 and ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead. If you have just Operation Arrowhead you need to buy ArmA 2, although I have seen something online where someone had the free version of ArmA 2 that you can get legally and bought Operation Arrow head and it worked fine. Not sure how truthful it is but that may be something to look into for you.

Never let yourself get trapped in a building like that next time, that's one of the worst things you can do when you have zombies after you. Probably should have tried shooting him in the head after the 143208230498 attempts at shooting him in the heart didn't work.

Might as well contribute B) Nothing too spectacular, didn't have much of the game's "eye candy" enabled at the time of the screen shots, but will for some future ones (high AA, post process, etc.).

Would someone mind double checking mine for me to make sure I did everything correctly? Monitor Resolution: 1360x768 (16:9) (not a laptop :P , 19" 720p HDTV) BF3 Calculator's Calculated vertical FOV setting: 59 (desired horizontal FOV @ 90 degrees) 59 degrees = 1.02974426 radians (according to a GOOGLE search) Final result: fovTop=1.03; fovLeft=1.83; Once again if someone wouldn't mind double checking I'd appreciate it. P.S. Beans will be given to helpful posts.

Decided to have a bit of fun at the Airfield with my M14 AIM and pleeenty of ammo B)

I think he meant if zombies can hear it or not.. Zombies will hear coughing and what not, not sure about breathing cause usually I just rush through a town and grab what I need.. who needs stealth? :rolleyes:

Wouldn't recommend using a controller at all for PC gaming. It is PC gaming, isn't it? :P When I started playing PC games years ago I was the same way, now I don't like using controllers unless I actually am playing a console, even then it can be annoying at times for me, and that's coming from someone who was a console gamer the majority of the time spent playing games.

Pretty good :)

People get pissed off for being killed as it is now, don't think too many people would like it but it's an interesting concept.

It seems that people are just wanting things to be easier... I usually don't have a problem in larger cities and that's because I actually scout out the area for a while before making a move, stick close to buildings (unless in a IDGAF mood), and don't draw attention.

Sniping is part of the game. PVP is part of the game. Without the chance of getting sniped or being killed by another player, the game would be a totally different experience and less fun I would think. Sure, if it were a real life scenario where the existence of the human race was at stake people may not kill each other as much as on DayZ, but it'd still happen. There's always those kind of people that only care about benefiting themselves.

Either way, it'd be cool. Just another thought that came to mind: Maybe something like a small security room where you can find somewhat decent guns that you would find on someone working for a private security company; pistols, shotguns, etc.

Someone's scared :P Let's get some more votes!

I hope the building is dark and scary to search at night all alone, would make it so much more intense while playing at night. To make it even scarier, make it look condemned and to top it all off search it with a thunderstorm in the pitch black of night.

Although I could see it killing some FPS around the area (maybe not, I may be wrong) I would love to see that. I vote yes. I can just see it now... Getting a group together, barricading all the entrances and sniping on different floors. Oh gawd.

lol'ed hard :D

Sounds pretty intense and similar to what happened to me yesterday (excluding the grenade). Was running down the streets in Cherno (In a don't give a f*** mood about zombies) when I saw a guy in a ghillie suit with a large bag and an Ak47 running down the same street facing other way with a horde of zombies behind him. We both turn around the same building on opposite sides and we meet face to face, I then unload my last 2 Makarov clips into him and at the same time that he dropped dead I got shot by someone else behind me. Recorded it actually, will upload it soon :)
