Yes it should, depending on the terrain and proximity..I'd rather have a makarov inside a building than a 50 cal.. Right weapon for the right situation.. we still don't know if the OP was bushwookie'n on a hill or cornered in a barn with a 50 cal. he was just 'better geared'.. It is not a different story.. it's completley relevent to the OP's story of how he got knocked out.. Until there is offical words and figures about blood amounts and % chance to be KO'd, then this is a non issue.. and the OP should refer to my first post on tips.. 'first rule is.. don't put yourself in a position that you might get shot.. second rule is.. don't get shot..' All of the 'values' that we are discussing here will get tweeked, due to discussions like this, that Rocket / aka god, does & gets pointed to... What irks me, is people insisting that their sniper rifle will own a pistol user at 20 ft.. and everybody agreeing with him, without knowing the details of the encounter.. was it inside a building? Open terrain? What was your 'better gear'? Where you being over confident, and running like a headless chicken with a flair? We do not know enough about the OP's bitching to start saying that x or y needs to be buffed or nerfed...this is why the OP is getting flamed.... if the OP started a thread with ALL of the relevant information, then real gamers could sit and give positive feedback to what he did wrong.. Instead we have a shitstorm of 'you suck', 'suck my dick' & 'your gear is worth nothing, so I piss on it, infidel!'.. For the love of god, (I don't believe in god btw, so for not insulting true believers, I have not opted to use a capital 'g', I'm just using it as an expression of frustration), if the OP has a problem, tell us the full story, server, time, conditions on the server (day/night), guns/ammo/equipment used etc etc.. then maybe the people who descend on these threads to tear the OP apart, might have some fucking usefull advice.. Bitching here, for a fucking random bitch, with no info, to allow the fucking community to fucking help, will cause the fucking community, to turn the fucking thread, into, a fucking, charnel house.. It's not the community that's the problem here.. it's the fucking OP's.. /edit, to insert lots of fucking profanity, into the last few fucking sentences, just to keep up the fucking appearance, of this fucking community..ffs Stop swearing.. it'll get you more jobs and women :)

Considering this was on a server that has rebooting admins when they get shot (uk117 mofo police, theres two 117's so make sure you get the right one), if everbody that has nothing to loose, can make their way north to the marked camp location (check the video closely, you'll see the blue marker).. that would be ace :)

He never stated he had 12k blood at the start of the engagement.. only that he had 10k at some point in it.. you do the maths.. Also KO is random on hits, and more likely under 9k.. there has never been any offical word on the exact values of any of this.. just user testing.. Who's to say that 2 quick hits from 12k, that only take you to just above 9k still don't knock you out? Being 'better geared' does not make you 'insta win'.. this is not WoW or CoD.. first rule is.. don't put yourself in a position that you might get shot.. second rule is.. don't get shot /edit.. oh and his version of a couple of shots may be more than a couple.. in the confusion of combat.. she might have emptied a full clip at him.. who knows?

The geometric artifacts you are talking about are not screen tearing.. Screen tearing is the effect of the top half of the frame being a few pixels to left or right of the bottom half... this is caused by the gfx card displaying more frames per second than your monitor can keep up with.. if that is the case, then you can switch frame sync on.. it will reduce (cap at your hrz rating for the monitor) your fps, but it will eliminate tearing.. if you are using a monitor that has a 60hrz refresh rate, you will get tearing at any fps over 60 (because the monitor cannot display more than 60fps anyway)*.. so check your monitor refresh rate, and if it's lower that your reported fps, then turn the frame synch on.. Now, if it's artifacts (big ass triangles and shit flying about), then there were a few texture bugs introduced in that last patch.. if you get those.. then do this - hold left shit, press - on the numeric keypad TWICE in quick succession, release the shift key and type 'flush' quickly.. if you get it right, the screen will go black, you'll see white text, for a split second, that it is flushing the gfx cache, then you'll be back in a normal view and the artifacts will be gone.. should be reduced / gone by the next patch, according to god.. /edit * DO NOT FORCE YOUR MONITOR TO GO ABOVE ITS RATED HRZ.. if your monitor is rated as 60hrz.. then it can't display more than 60 fps, without tearing.. if you don't want the tearing DON'T force the monitor above that (it is possible if you dick about with the device manager settings enough).. you will fuck it up, just put frame synch on, and if you have any extra gpu/cpu performace left, then bump up some of the detail settings. We don't go to Green Mountain.. neither should you.. understand boy? *spit*

You where knocked out in a COUPLE of shots.. which means the first probably took you under the 9k, and the second knocked you out.. Crawling into Rog castle once, with only a Mackarov, I looked up on the stairwell, and there was a bushwookie.. stood out a bit due to castles not containing any trees.. but I got 4 mak shots off before he hit me once with his sniper.. I was knocked out, regained con.. bandaged myself.. noticed that I had 1 bandit kill.. and there was no body.. as they alt+f4'd as they died.. never did get to see what the rifle was.. it did hurt like hell tho.. Moral of the story.. you better get more than one round into your target, if you don't get that headshot straight off.. esp at close range.. Going close enough for someone to be deadly with a pistol, means you'd better be able to go full-auto, or get a pistol out..

Oh another thing about UK117 'mofo' (there's two 117's but this is related to the 'mofo' one), when I died and spawned there, I had an air-horn.. not as an item in inv., but if I cycled fire options with 'f' to go to throw, there was a horn.. and it was funny as hell to attact zombies.. but it shouldn't have been there, and there was no actual item to drop or pickup to get it...

Just linking in the other posts from the ban thread.. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51436-uk117-ban-appealadmin-abuse/

Make sure you don't have a second client logged into the lobby of another server.. if you do, it will kick the second one as it connects.

Yep.. our camp just got raided by the clan.. we arrived back in the middle of it, killed them all, grabbed what we could and ran.. then the server got rebooted 3 times, after we took their 50 cal, backpacks and nvgs... Tossers... if the mofo police can't play fair.. then just don't play.. BTW, we still have your backpacks nvgs and the 50cal.. cheers :) and we won't be back on your shite server... /edit please do post more info on their camp.. cause I would like to turn it over a few times :) And if i can't join because I'm banned after this post, then we can just add that to the evidence.. It's a pity tho.. 'cause it was a good server.. updated properly, and a good ping and fps off it.. just a bit sad that the admins reboot everytime they join to change the time of day, and can't take getting a beating in a fair fight.. /edit 2 After killing Sheppy, and just before we got off the server, Sheppy has 233 kills inside 20 mins? Fuck about with your score logs much MFP?

I love night time.. carry a chemlight for open country, and throw a few around the streets in the cities.. Stalked a couple of muppets running with a road flare from Stary to the NWAF once.. was trying to get close enough to them to pop them.. they got through the fence of the airfield before I got close enough, then I just heard the 50 cal reports and thought better of it.. was a fun trip tho :) And the chemlights make everything really atmospheric..

Who needs to type when you can just open your gob and utter whatever guttural sounds, you personally, call verbal communication?

Or use TS like any normal person.. /edit and stop using laptops for gaming.. it's a white elephant..

Personally I use the lid of a Bic pen. 1) press down 'W' 2) insert bic pen lid between w & e 3) remove pen lid when done Enjoy

To everybody harping that 'Rocket should fix this', and 'there's more important things to do than nerf guns'.. ROCKET DIDN'T MAKE THIS CHANGE.. It was a BI update for Arma2, AND, Rocket also said (on the Reddit thread), that he was unaware of these changes, until the thread was started. Basicly, this gun nerf is a moot point when it comes to DayZ and the devs, and suggestions should be pointed to the BI forums.

To be honest, I'm surprised you made it to the airfield, nevermind the barracks..

Jesus H Christ.. old thread is old.., No one has anything helpfull to say, because the current state of the mod does not reflect the original post, which is months out of date. Loot tables and spawn rates have been tweeked multiple times since this thread was started.. lock it please..

Well ACTUALLY, you might be considering that we are testing faults in the current build, as apposed to complaining that your current character is/was hurt... How was your char. injured/killed with the current aplha version? Did you get stuck in scenery and then lie down? What where the zombies doing? What sever where you on and what was the local time? What are your system specs? Which version of the mod, and which version of the beta arma2 code are you running / or where running at the time of the bug? You do know bug reporting forums are for bug reporting.. not bitching that you fucked up?

Don't run dayz mod when launching arma2..

You sir, have no understanding of the vast arrays of Homosapiens' ability to judge colours on an individual range.. I, personally have no problem with the forum colour scheme, but plenty of colourblind people, or people with various vision quirks, might well have.. To slap someone down with 'get a better monitor', makes you look like a tool.

I have a slight issue with the server hopping ban atm.. I'm currently trying to track a bug with the crossbow ammo not depleting, and I believe it's related to the amount of ammo stored in main inv. on log in, but current testing of this is requiring me to change inv., drop from the server and re-log to test again.. I think I should be able to get a yes or no on my current theroy, before the next patch so that should be fine.. but please make sure hive bans can be reversed / not automated, if you can link a ban to an account that is trying to test and break things on purpose (i.e. test).

Finding vehciles can be a bit hit and miss.. take yesterday for example.. was taking a stroll around willow lake, and came across an atv, no fuel, red engine.. so I leave well enough alone and start searching through Berez. to find engine parts.. found some fuel, and on the way back up, came across a UAZ, filled with medical supplies, fueled and repaired, just tucked out of sight on a factory yard.. So, stuff the ATV, I'm doing a Jukes of Hazard in the UAZ.. 1/2 way to the place I've decided to hide it, I drive past a tractor.. didn't bother stopping tho... That was in the space of about 2 hours.. but they are the first vehicles I've seen for nearly 2 weeks..

Where the items stored in a tent at any time? Is it possible, that they may have been dupes?

I've seen this happen, without a server restart.. place the trap, arm it, pick it up.. you now have the trap, and the trap model is gone, but you will still break your leg if you walk over the spot the trap used to be.. no server restart needed.

Arma X versions sometimes give you someone elses character, due to hive/server player ID errors.. a hacker is not going to upgrade all your kit for you..

/me stares into the distance and thinks *maybe if I type Sasha Grey enough on one thread, she might see it and send me some photos... or at least it will fix my dreams tonight* Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey, Sasha Grey... Fingers crossed...:)
