That's because we're in Alpha... stuff like this will probably wait for the Beta, when everything else is balanced.

Had incredibly frustrating lag/desync on all servers last night - not game breaking, just annoying :P also lost a character, but hey!

Does going into your video settings change anything at all?

You need to eject the snaploader to reload it. If you only have one snaploader, load the rifle with loose ammo and keep the loaded snaploader in your inventory, then use R or scroll wheel to reload :) Simultaneous post! :D

On the contrary - PM me? I'm intrigued.

I do see your point. All I'm saying is, it's early doors yet - let's wait and see what the dev team choose to implement in terms of rare weaponry.In my opinion, it'd be kinda weird to have a FAL with common ammo, then a 7.62x51 sniper rifle/MG with a different kind of ammo, just because it's supposed to be "rare". Am I making sense? Hard day at work...

Sorry if this has been said already, but surely it's the magazines that will make rare weapons difficult to use? What use is a Mk48 Mod0 if you don't have the box/belt for it, despite having hundreds of rounds of 7.62x51mm? Or here's another idea - require the player to have cartridge links (one inventory slot could contain enough to link up to 200 rounds?) as well as a box magazine? There are other methods of making a rare weapon hard to use besides ammo...

Latest version of Epoch, you can't use regular Makarov ammo in the SD. This needs to be addressed, imo - a suppressed weapon can fire regular ammunition just as well as subsonic, and vice versa. The only difference would be the sound (I understand this aspect may be a limitation of the Arma engine). How to balance this? Make the ammo evenly distributed - less regular ammo and more SD ammo? I dunno. It's just frustrating that you're kept from using a cartridge that would work just fine in reality.

...is this for any clan that comes to play on your server?

I jumped into Epoch with a few friends for the first time yesterday, after over 100 hours on Standalone and having dabbled in the mod for a few hours... awesome, terrifying, fun!

Wrong place/wrong time? Tuesday night I was with four or five friends - we held one of the northern apartment blocks for an hour or so, and it was pretty tense! Lots of lead flying :P

Hardcore ftw - will be even more awesome if they do add in stances a la Arma 3. HC + TrackIR = win!

Which OS do you use? Not sure if it matters, but I use Win 8.1 and have wired speakers and a USB headset. I can simply set either/or to be the default playback device (right click on speaker icon and choose playback devices). Works for me every time.

Got to Balota with a friend last night... loot everywhere, looked untouched, headed off to the prison building at the Eastern end and opened the door to FIVE guys sitting with guns aimed at the door. Assholes.

Not to be an ass... but what the hell is an 'L85A3 LMG' when it's at home? Do you mean the L86 LSW? Cause even that isn't an LMG, it's used as a marksman's rifle these days alongside the L129... Anyways. Yes. As has been said - wait for beta.
