If you're carrying a rifle in the proper position for aiming and firing, you can swing it around fairly quick. The delay currently in-game is extremely over exaggerated.

I watched Lone Survivor the other night - The person that was based off, Marcus Luttrell, stated: "I got shot-fragged by RPGs and grenades eleven through-and-throughs in my quads and calves, shrapnel stickin' out of my legs and everywhere. All the skin off my back and the back of my legs was gone." The human body can take a lot.

I, and probably lots of other players log out of a server to go get a drink, or make a quick sandwich etc, and come back in 5-10 minutes later. This would ruin a lot of experiences. I'm thinking log-in sounds should be in place. If you hear zippers, clunks and magazines being reloaded above you when there's nobody there, it would be a good sign somebody is logging in.

Oh yes. I have done a lot of unfortunate things to my legs throughout my real life, with sports and whatnot, but never have I broken a leg. In DayZ however, you trip going up the stairs and you're done for.

I've seen just as much terrible players in both game-modes, so keep preaching superiority if that makes you feel better. Then just don't play it?

This topic is still going on..? What don't you people get about the 2 separate game modes for different play styles? The strict 1pp players can't grasp the concept that somebody else can do something unrealistic which everybody else including them can do in 3pp mode, so instead of sticking to their hardcore mode they all attack the 3pp players claiming superiority? Half the "lamecore" players could still just as easily kill any one of the hardcore players if they moved into the hardcore servers. I play both, and I kill just as many people on either game mode. A game is made for enjoyment. So why doesn't everybody enjoy the game and stick to your preferred game mode without crying about players who don't concern you at all? Can somebody close the thread already?

This has been the best look at hardcore vs regular that I've read yet. Maybe somebody might not agree with everything said, or maybe they do, but I thank you for stating your opinions in a manner that isn't disrespectful to other groups of players who don't share your views. I thank you for your lack of a god complex in this thread. I do like the suggestion though.

Please tell me that was sarcasm.

Duping isn't fixed, there's just other ways to do it.

There is "spray and pray" while ADS or hip-firing in hardcore as well... Argument is invalid.

Pretty sure next time you spawn you'll be reset. I've seen people try to dupe their gear by killing their clone, then spawning with nothing.

L33t ub3r l3git only-PC player who's superior to any console users using console players as an insult for people doing something they don't like on a PC only game.... I hope someone has seen how well that logic is. Nothing the hardcore-only players can ever argue for their point is at all relevant because the game has a server filter option. Don't like the "pansies" then don't play with them, and it's really that simple. The 3pp players don't go crying that "those damn pansy CoD fps wannabes and their hardcore FPS-only BS." You can't server hop as much because there aren't as much servers? Useless thread is useless - use the search function. Actually, the centre dot which is in BOTH hardcore AND "lamecore" is pretty darn accurate. So no, 3pp doesn't NEED the hardcore FPS aspect.

It's all fun and games til the looter teleports behind you, knocks you out and stands over your body calling you various unruly synonyms of "homosexual" because they feel superior.

There shouldn't be any limits. If one isn't mature enough to deal with what may happen, then they should think about avoiding the game. There's obviously things that shouldn't be in the game that won't add anything to the game - I'm against adding rape in to the game, it brings no benefit to the game and people will go around raping each other for no reason.

Should delete this and let everybody trying to get hacks fill their computers up with viruses.

Yeehaw motherf*ckers.

I killed a hacker yesterday, tried to run away and ran in to his friend (also a hacker - they were a pair in the same clan) and before he could raise his weapon, I put a 7.62x51mm straight into his chest, and as he teleported away I logged and was gone before he could bandage and teleport back to kill me.

Non-sawn off shotgun is great. I once felt extra psychopath like, grabbed a shotgun as a fresh spawn and walked down from Berezino to Three Valleys with my shotgun slaughtering everything that moved. My only problem was with one person, was quite a ways away though, I didn't expect to hit him but I shot anyways, blood. Shot again, more blood. Reloaded, shot once more and he dropped, so I walked up on him as he turned around prone and aimed a mosin at me. I slowly reloaded my shotgun as the clicks of his empty mosin came, and BAM. No survivors that day.

Word for word, that was my response.

Go on a 4 hour reset server just after a restart and place walkie talkies throughout Berezino all hooked up to the same frequency then sit safely a good distance away whilst blasting through every walkie talkie. Watch the world burn.

You should get a team, camp in a building and have everybody cover the entrances while you blast Justin Bieber as long as you can.

"I haven't seen it so it doesn't exist, if I close my eyes it's not there." Argument is invalid.

From what you described, I'd probably guess there was a glitcher, or somebody was just stalking you, possibly watching you around the corner in third person perspective.

"I haven't seen a hacker, therefore, hackers do not exist." said every DayZ fanboy. Turning your head blindly to the fact that the game is overrun with hackers does not make the issue go away. Judging by all the "Haven't seen it, it's not there" comments I see regularly, I must be EXTREMELY unlucky, or people are quick to write of teleporters as desync/lag. There is a big difference. The fact is, OP is correct, there needs to be something done about hacking. Everyone is so quick to try to disprove him because he talks bad about the precious DayZ alpha. Why should we be looking forward to new stuff when it's just going to inevitably be stolen from a teleporter with infinite ammo? I love DayZ. I have loved it since the mod. The game design is amazing, something new, enjoyable and rewarding. I enjoy playing DayZ. The bugs aren't even an issue, it's alpha, we all agreed to it, but hackers are something other. There are a lot of things that can be done to counteract hackers. A LOT. Nope, I'm not a programmer, it may be hard, but it should be a priority. No, hacking will never truly be fixed, that is true, but there is no excuse for hacking to be as common as it is. Whether it be better detection/ban system, or better prevention system, something has to be done. Not sure about that one, but I have experienced multiple teleporters, ESP (obvious when they try to shoot everybody through every wall), name hiding in server (Was with a friend and only one other person in a server while 2 people attacked us), speed hacks (although this could just be teleporting used to speed running), infinite/extremely large ammo stacks (may be a glitch), and players spawning items in the game (never legit seen this one with my own eyes, but watched videos of people witnessing it).

There already is a map in-game. It comes in 4 different parts which you combine.
