    Firearm Suicide

    Did he try and shoot it? To see if it would kill him? I remember a glitch that made you hold the sawn off but you could only punch. (involved a ladder and it was by accident)

    Firearm Suicide

    Oh yeah. I remember that happening with a sawn off shotgun. Wasn't pointed at my head but it was still weird.

    Experimental ver46? Also where are the Magnums spawning? Haven't found one since the last update.

    Where is my balaklava?

    You watched Black Lagoon too? I read the title and though "Why would he want a Russ...So that's how you spell Balaklava"

    you missed out, pal

    PVE doesn't mean shit. It is directly against the devs' intentions and the rules for having a server. It is also unenforceable because of those rules.

    Where is my balaklava?

    Well that sucks. But yes, I concur that Balaklavas are indeed awesome.
  7. That clears it up. They were right to assume that he died, almost nobody survives a double dose of grenades.
  8. True. At one stage muskets could have been called "Assault Rifles" because their primary use was assaulting areas.(if they had rifled barrels)

    Where is my balaklava?

    How are the Russians treating you guys? Not much on the news about it over here. I don't even know if you guys are still arguing about it. Also i second the motion that we need a Balaklava.
  10. WW2? They would have figured out the right time for fuses by then (had a few problems in ww1) which was probably about 4secs. 1 sec flight time... Dug a hole, put a live grenade in, filled it, boom in under 3 secs? unlikely. If he already had a hole dug and the grenade landed in it he could of had enough time to put a few shovels worth of dirt on one (or a wheel barrow if one was full near by).
  11. You have a point. It may just be the that the only caliber i knew this came in, before this thread, was 7.62x39 and thus it just doesn't seem right for it to be in .223. The Lee - Enfield is considered to be a battle rifle. Semi-auto or selectfire isn't what makes something a battle rifle. But you are correct in everything else. It is a very broad term. *Magazine
  12. I have a feeling that the "stick" part of those grenades (a large wooden rod for a handle) was the main reason for that. What essentially amounts to a large wooden dowel being accelerated to around the speed of sound would probably have a semi-decent range. Though 300m? God no.
  13. I think you are talking to the wrong person.... Also WTF? .233? Why a rabbit round? It should be using the 7.62x39.

    Green Mountain conspiracy - the plot thickens

    I think it has something do do with camouflage. On another note, it has just occured to me that over my time playing both the mod and standalone that I have now been to Green Mountain. I should remedy that.

    Bring Back Southcoast Spawns

    Source? For all we know the devs have turned them off to test changes in areas.

    Why my account was baanned

    Contact Battleeye. We don't deal with Bans here. Most bans come from Hacking and cheating. So for all intents and purposes....
  17. Shacktac disagrees. Especially with a pilot as good as Dslycexi. However OP doesn't mean it shouldn't be in.

    I give up. Please help!

    I can't help you any more as that's all i know. Sorry.
  19. Dchil

    I give up. Please help!

    Heres what you do. Install A2 and A2OA but not the beta patch. Right click on OA and go to properties . Go to betas and Select the beta option in the drop down box. Run both games Get the DayZ mod off steam and install. Congrats, you now have DayZ mod installed.
  20. Dchil

    I give up. Please help!

    Did you go to the A2 Operation arrow head shortcut on steam, right click, select the betas tab and then select the beta? If you installed the "Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead Beta" thing then you are doing it wrong.

    Descriptive item Descriptions

    90% of the time a firearm will list the caliber on the barrel. Thus the reason my Chinese manufactured Norinco Jw15A says 22LR on the barrel in English.

    Hardcore and normal dont share characters?

    No they don't. Though the only difference between the two is third and first person.
  23. You know what would be better? If you used some fucking grammar and proper spelling. These posts almost gave me a headache, and that's saying something.

    DayZ + Spintires?

    DayZ + Spintires + Reciever + DCS + Race07 + ..... (The list goes on. And on. and on...) = Best game ever.

    360/One controller not recognized in game

    The thing is while an xbox controller should work (not that i've tried it) in DayZ, and this is due to it's roots in Arma, simply cannot be played properly with a controller. I'm not saying this because I think PC games should only be used with a Keyboard and mouse (in some circumstances a wheel or joystick are much better options) but simply because this is a game that even a Keyboard and mouse has trouble with having enough buttons. While most modern shooters (not saying DayZ is a FPS, just a comparison) are originally designed to be run on the console and are then ported and thus use a lower number of buttons and functions Arma and DayZ continue to buck the trend by giving you options a console gamer could only wish for but this comes at a cost. There are only so many combos a controller can do before it becomes a major hassle to use and makes a game almost unplayabe, keyboards have a higher button count and thus Arma (and DayZ) is a PC game. Though even Keyboards struggle to keep up with the number of options as shown by the sheer size of the controll options and even with all these options key modifiers (Shift, Ctrl, Alt ect) are used often. The only reason I feel for having something other than a mouse and keyboard hooked up to this game is for driving and flying, and lots of people run a setup like that. Why should the Devs have to modify an already buggy game to work with a control system which it was never designed for and is horribly in-adequate for the needs of the engine and gameplay? Sure in beta this could be a concern but overall this (and Arma) isn't a game you play with a 360 remote. It is a game that should have been developed for SAO style VR (Sword Art Online, look it up if you don't know what it is) and a keyboard is the closest we can get to that so far without Occulus rift and various other experimental technologies. This shouldn't be a concern at the moment and most likely will never be a proper consideration in development. Frankly your best options are probably to run a Keyboard and mouse or a Keyboard emulator like Xpadder but you seem to shy away from this. I don't really know how to fix your problem but I feel that I can explain why this game is how it is in regards to that technology. I'm sorry if this doesn't help you too much but i felt it needed to be out there.
