Use your shift key. Brings up a crosshair. If you're trying to headshot zombies at close range, you should be using your secondary anyway. M16 ACOG is just a better weapon. As far as the G36s, so their look doesn't match your taste---they are still quieter, more powerful, more accurate, and have a higher rate of fire. Additionally, all STANAG using weapons can be effectively silenced against zombies by using SD ammo, whether they are SD or not.

Did you somehow misinterpret my question as 'who would' because I asked 'why?' I mean, no sweat off my back if you don't pick up superior weapons. I'd rather fight you with an AK74 than any other assault rifle anyway.

Double post AHHHHH

The AK-74 series is the worst set of assault rifles in the game. They are less accurate and less powerful than any other. Why pick one over a dot-sighted M4, an acog M16, any of the G36 variants, AKs, FALs, or Sa58 models?

Never made sense to me to do anything other than KOS everyone.

You know where you fucked up? You asked another player for help. I kill absolutely everyone I can but I don't mislead anyone about my intent.

I don't even think of it as doing something wrong. That's the point of the game isn't it? Zombies are not challenging opponents, you can kill as many as you have bullets (and then a shitload more with your axe). Other players make the game dangerous. That's why you don't want zombies following you, because drawing attention to yourself is how you get killed.

This. Exactly this. Stonewall, your playstyle depends upon the other player to not understand what is in his own best interest. The difference you are really talking about is not anything to do with skill, it is just rp vs not rp. Most people don't rp in this, and just see it as a fun, sandboxy video game. Some, like yourself, see it as roleplaying a real zombie apocalypse...and so you play accordingly. You value your e-life for its own sake, not because of the time you've put into it. I feel a rush in pvp because I am gambling my time spent getting to that point gear-wise vs. his. So my willingness to engage in risky combat situations scales accordingly. As I go up on that scale, I don't really have much to gain from fair fighting, so I don't. Unless I'm feeling crazy. Anyway, let me point you in the direction of a game that would suit your view of video games: EVE. Yes, it is internet spreadsheet spaceships but it is exactly what you are looking for. For a good amount of time I was in a pirate corporation and our primary income was derived from ship ransoming. I warp in while someone is mining or ratting (killing npcs) in an asteroid belt, lock him up and put on a warp jammer, then demand a price slightly lower than the estimated total cost of his ship + mods + implants on pod. Sounds like its right up your alley.

Thank you.

Nobody is doing this. However, the rest of us don't have moral qualms with it because this is a video game. You are claiming that anyone who has shot someone with a DMR and NVGs is 'unskilled' when that just isn't logic. Just because Kobe Bryant has scored points from the free throw line doesn't mean that he only shoots free throws. Getting to DMR/NVGs is kind of a goal simply because having those two and playing on a night server makes you a god compared to those without NVGs. I doubt that any players spend all of their time camping the NWAF with NVGs and a DMR because that's just boring. Mostly because night servers generally have low populations. At any rate, you give the game away when you say that sniping in daytime is somehow better. If i'm in a sniping position, night or day, you won't see me. You also still have yet to make a case for why anyone should bother playing it that way. You say its fun? I disagree. I don't think holding up other players is fun, I think that it is stupid. If you find it fun, great. Knock yourself out. You payed money to play this game, do you. I'll do me and I'd appreciate it if you would grow your perspective enough to understand that people's play styles and what they enjoy doing are going to be as unique as every other aspect of their personality.

You have yet to make a case for why I should 'hold you up.' I don't play this game so that you have fun, I play this game so that I have fun. I will KOS everyone I see who isn't on voice comms with me because there is no good reason not to and there are several compelling reasons to shoot first and ask questions never. If you find yourself in a straight-up firefight after you had the drop on your opponent, that means you fucked up. If you chose to talk to your victim and let him know that you're there, and he kills you, it is your fault for being a dumbass. I take advantage of people who do this shit all the time, and have no interest in joining their idiot ranks. You are clearly just mad that you got shot by people with DMRs and NVGs. I'm sorry this makes you so angry. Just kidding, I think it's pretty funny.

Choosing to make myself vulnerable out of some misplaced sense of e-honor has nothing to do with my ability to waste you. If you can't handle dying, find another game.

I think you take this game more seriously than you should.

1-10m Mk 48 10-200m G36K Quietest assault rifle, has cco and 4x scope, can fire npc-silenced rounds just by changing ammo. Epic rate of fire too. 200-700m DMR I rarely encounter circumstances that require more range than this. Because the DMR is such an effective weapon anyway, I forgo upgrading to M107 or AS50 because of how common the DMR ammo is and because it can be used at close range in a pinch (supposing server has reticle); and you can use it with NVGs. Beyond 700m: I prefer to have an AS50, but I try not to find myself in these situations because I rarely have the ability to switch between a DMR and AS50.

Agreed. You know how to beat snipers without a sniper? Don't fight them at long range! Run around them in cover when you are aware of a sniper, but otherwise stay in cover while moving to avoid that situation in the first place. And then get a sniper rifle. I usually get sniper rifles by killing snipers at close range with shit like ak74s. There's a reason why every powerful military in the world issues scopes with their main battle rifle to every soldier. They're better. CCO mod weapons are for urban combat, and are not going to be as good as scoped weapons at long ranges in hilly forest/pastureland. At 50 - 100 yards the CCO will be the better weapon because its just a faster acquisition. After that....there's a reason we invented scopes. My usual kit in this game is sniper rifle - cco rifle - m9sd. Feel free to use....
