One cell makes a prison these days, I guess.

That pack was from the mod.

You are a retard.

Stop spreading this BF4 non-sense that the SKS is a DMR. It's a peasant gun that has an internal 10 round box magazine instead of a detachable one that uses the same cartridge as the AK-47. It was never designed with any sort of DMR role in mind.

I experienced a similar bug with two different canteens in the hotbar, or swapping which canteen is in the hotbar. It would fill up the same one regardless of what I did unless I manually placed the second canteen in my hand or completely dropped the other one.

You've never fired a gun. The untrained always swear the sight was where they were aiming, but what they cannot account for is the subtle error in sight picture, sight alignment, or focusing on the target not the front sight post, or they jerked the trigger while the shot was going off and it misses. The less trained individual cannot recognize these faults and to the shooter, the sights seemed lined up.

I think Dean said via Twitter that it was a bug if you use it when you have no wounds. I dunno.

LOOOOOL

Effective range is generally the distance that the operator of the weapon can be expected to hit a target at. How effective that round is at a particular range depends on the weight of the round in grains and the velocity in feet per second. An M4 with the 14.5" barrel loses quite a bit of effectiveness as its velocity drops and relies heavily on fragmentation that occurs with high velocity impacts. At slower speeds the round just punctures through and fails to fragment leaving a small wound channel. The USMC uses the M16 to qualify up to 500m prone (which I can hit 10/10 irons on a good day), and there is a reason the Army only qualifies at 300m with the M4. If the weapon is fired perfectly it would be more accurate than in the game, but I believe that Dean and company are trying to simulate outcomes of what would happen, which is untrained civilians shooting weapons and jerking the trigger, with ragged breathe, with a poor firing position. I agree with their approach. Now anyone who has a rifle can't use it to pick off folks far out and makes the outcomes more interesting, you have to get in close to kill someone with the weapon - as would a guy who uses it. Learn the weapon and understand your limitations and position yourself accordingly for the assault.

I was just looting a barracks when I heard someone inserting a magazine and loading their rifle like when you log in. He was upstairs. I laid prone in the hallway below, he ran down and I pumped half a mag into him. He just turned and shot me and I was dead. It's a big problem right now and it even interferes with development because the devs can't really assess the loot spawn and distribution with this shit. It needs to be fixed very soon.

Been there done that also. 0311 vet from Kilo 3/5 who always qualified expert and we use 20 inch M-16s to qualify with using a loop sling on a range setting which allows for an extremely increased accuracy through perfect range form. As a Marine, I am shocked you don't know the difference between the two rifles. Check yourself before calling people a weekend warrior who hasn't seen shit or know anything. You don't understand field conditions versus range conditions which means you are a total POG and talking out your arse. You also said suppressed ammo isn't available in game yet. Suppressed ammo is rarely if ever used because it reduces the muzzle velocity below supersonic which entirely negates its effectiveness and isn't necessary to suppress the shot, just the supersonic crack.

Well, my experience is that when I was wounded, I would use the alcohol tincture to cleanse them. It would say "My wounds look cleaner." It would also say that my wounds hurt less. Eventually it would give a green message saying they were clean. If people are indeed getting sick from cleaning themselves with alcohol it will be a bug that needs fixing.

So many mods made the Arma 2 sounds awesome. They had better damn well invest in some of that talent. If they keep the sounds on the quality level of the base game I will be sad.

Infantry, Kill!

Meh, I've been in combat and seen what trained grunts do under fire. If you are just a bro who picked up this M4 you would probably do worse, but prone at 100 yards on a body shouldn't be a stretch when calm. Maybe it could use some tweaking. I just hope it isn't the ultra breezy way the mod was where I could be jogging across the countryside, stop for a split second and headshot at 150m no problems.

I'm hoping they really up the volume on them. They are so damn quiet, more in line with what a suppressed M4 would sound like - carries in the wind like a .22 or something. I really enjoyed being on one end of Cherno and hearing a shot in the distance knowing someone was in there somewhere. Now it is ridiculous. A friend shot in the 1st floor of a building across the street and I didn't hear it from the second floor a couple houses down. Dafuq?

Did you know you can have your buddy draw your blood for you, which you can then save for an emergency? Take some blood when you are healthy, then regenerate the lost blood by eating and drinking well over time. Keep the blood bag in your medkit and be prepared! The concerns about a complicated medical system are misguided. People lack innate creativity and a will to survive these days! The mod was too PvP dependent. I think a 1/3 player versus environment, 1/3 player versus zombie, and 1/3 player versus player ratio would be great. We can already see awesome interactions from people holding up others for blood. People are spending far more time carefully looking for loot as well. They are trying to stay healthy while avoiding zombies and banditry while cautiously interacting with potential new friends. It's adding DEPTH. With new concerns there is less of just running to the NWA, gearing up, heading back south to kill on sight. When there are a complex range of medical issues that can arise you can't be prepared for everything. You may have to actually trade with others when someone falls ill because you don't have the required kit. Use the walkie-talkie (when implemented) and start broadcasting for another group who has those precious antibiotics you couldn't find and set up a dangerous trade. Have you no imagination? I trust where this is heading. DayZ's future is bright. If folks just want to slap a blood bag on a friend and go kill others with their barracks loot then I won't miss them when the more thoughtful medical systems come online anyways. I like the additional variety and using my brain out there. I want to kill some bandits, fight infection, overcome dehydration after a long hike, agonize over using my only tetracycline on a friend (what happens when I get sick!?), and maybe even holding up other worn down survivors to get what I desperately need. I want to call out over the radio for knowledge from someone who can identify my symptoms (with a better UI to illustrate what my body is telling me)! If you are looking for a different experience, Rocket WILL disappoint you. For everyone else, see you in Chernarus, Comrades!

I've found some of the single use green Israeli type laying around, but yeah, it would be nice to find some sterile gauze bandages outside of the medkits.

I vote for an epic beard! Uhm, chicks can lose the pear shape over time maybe?

It's a small mental hurdle to find the solution. God help them if the shit really does hit the fan one day.

An untrained dude with an M4 in his hands won't hit shit. Sorry to burst the bubble. Unfortunately movies and COD has ruined most people's sense of understanding on how difficult it is to shoot a rifle when tired, on the move, from unsupported or non-traditional shooting positions. Keep.

If you cleaned your wounds then you only helped yourself. The illness was not caused by the alcohol tincture but happened despite it. You fell ill at a coincidental moment.

Epic save. Bona Fide hero. Take mah beans.

Nice job killing him. Nice PC as well.

You go unconcious because you are too stubborn to eat and drink enough. You won't wake up generally and are actually continuing towards eventual death. A friend can revive by using Saline kit on you. If you have no friend, just respawn. Just a tip.
