.... *sigh* Don't we have enough of these threads. Vehicles will be here soon. How soon? Think Valve time, then remember something. Rocket and the dev team have perfected "Valve Time".

.... getting a little old now. Guess it can't get worse.

I guess i misread the OP. I thought you had written something along the lines of parachutes being in Helicopters by default.

We also need proper fire to be added. As much as i'd like Far Cry 2 fire to be added the engine is already straining the architecture hard.

Ok then. Tell me what would you use a parachute for in this game? That's right, for when your helicopter dies and you can't land. Except that will get you killed by the rotor blades (which still spin). Also why would civvies be grabbing parachutes and getting into helis? Most people head for cars and what not. Don't tell me you'd use parachutes for something else because that is complete BS. When you use one in the mod anyone with a brain and a firearm will be aiming at you as you are now a highly exposed pinata which most likely has decent loot. Anyone without will be looking for where you land. It's a better idea to land the heli in a close by place or on a building which you can get down from the roof and let the mounted guns (unless you have a little bird) keep you covered while you dismount. If you have to use a parachute in the mod. 99% of the time your heli will be fucked. ETA: I'm not saying we shouldn't have parachutes but that helis aren't where they should spawn. Also we need rotor blades to give realistic damage when you come into contact with you (AKA shit gets chopped off when they spin)

Hypocrisy? I LIKE IT!

Uhhh... not to burst your bubble but, at least for Australian Army Helicopter pilots, military Helicopter pilots are not issued parachutes by the military. This is the only viable reason you could use to say they are in helicopters but parachutes just aren't close enough to helis (except on a crowded base) for them to reasonably spawn in them. The bases in Chernarus just aren't that crowded. For one reason. If you bail a heli you will most likely move slower than it, turning you into gore if the blades are still turning (which they most likely are) giving you no chance to use a parachute. Thus heli pilots are trained to Auto-rotate their helis to the ground or die trying because that is what will happen if you are high enough to use a parachute effectively. In fixed wing aircraft? sure. Air base or civvie landing strip which flies parachuting trips? sure. In Helicopters? no.

Because people are idiots and will try it. Especially if they think it will give them an advantage where in reality it will get them killed or other bad things.

Time to go pulp fiction on some bitches.

The Casual trying to become serious - Spent their early years playing Cod and the like going "HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO REALISTIC" and never having to use their mic and just run and gun. As soon as they realist there are much better games out there they try to join that part of gaming culture, failing due to limited hardware and problematic conditions (AKA their parents don't want them on the internet if it can be helped). When they finally use their mic for a decent amount of time they often have to get off soon after and their play times are erratic at best. Often trying to be friendly. This is basically me. I have one parent who doesn't care but their connection sucks for gaming, however i have good connection elsewhere but I just about spent last week not using my computer because of my mum.

And it uses the 9mm. Postpones them from having to bow to consumer wants and add a 9x18. (AFAIK most of the smgs from the area would be in 9x18)

Log off timer that you can't see? I think it's been in for about 2-3 months now. So many noobs complaining that the server reset their character when they jumped off the game in the middle of a firefight or Elektro (when the spawns were mostly near there). Then people started reading patch notes and such.

I was thinking night sights like in Far Cry 3. That is a fairly realistic portrayal of them.

357 magnum - interchangeable grips - Night sites 1911 -Extended barrel (threaded, can hold suppressor or compensator) - Compensator (muzzle device to reduce recoil, also for FNX &CZ) Will edit with more if i can think of them.

With the announcement of "Lumber Jack Mode" Rocket has also let slip of what the wood will turn into. Along with that he has said that Sticks will now spawn in forrests. Not sure if you need to cut a tree first or if it is randomly but it's still awesome news for those stuck in forrests hoping that the "Suicide" update comes through before they get to the town with sticks and not after.

How about the Clock towers in game represent the actual time in game. They seem to be of a mechanical, not a electrical type (just from looking at the town hall in Cherno in a video) and thus should be on time. To add meaning to this, when watches are added they may not be set to the correct time and you will have to set them. Thus you can use these clock towers to set them. If they aren't set then you cannot use them as a compass or an accurate clock as the hands will be off.

So for the watch. Worn = Scratches on glass cover Damaged = Cracked glass, looses a few seconds every day. Badly damaged = Broken glass, looses a few minutes every day ???

I actually used that link to find this, but I didn't use it for reasons of lazyness.

Acceptable break from reality?

Nek minit.... "What the fuck is this soccer ball doing in Kamenka?"

oooh.. That's an idea.

He knows that, he is asking what tools he should use to have a hope of them working in SA.

That's when we play the "Beta" card. When does that finish? When we are released. Then we play the "Just released" card. When does that finish, 3 or more patches are released or 1 year. Which ever one is shortest.

Bug tracker. Use it.

We could just make it so If you stay in this glitch area for more than 30secs you are killed by the server, but make it a quiet update (don't announce it).
