m249 can use any stanag mag and the 200rd belts.

alt+tab, ctrl+alt+delete does the same thing

Are you kidding me? What universe do you live in that a man can get hit, REPEATEDLY, with a 5.56 or 7.62 and can turn around and effectively return fire? At the very least, and this is if you're wearing the correct body armor and it happens to catch the round, it's going to knock you on your ass, at the very least. Instant kill? No, no one's arguing that. But they shouldn't be able to take a rifle shot to the chest/back and be able to turn around and put rounds downrange like nothing happened.

The Green is...just not a place you want to be. Regardless what you hear, what others tell you, do not spend the night there. If you have to, climb the ladder, but NEVER descend. It will plead with you, mock you, laugh at you, say things it should not know, but never, EVER descend. Never descend...

Client side hit detection means if you shoot someone on your screen, he gets hit, regardless of where he actually is in the game (in instances of lag, for example). That would be a boon to hit detection, if anything.

You do realize the whole no backpack with an m107 was taken out forever ago? If you want to be a pretentious asshole, at least get your facts straight.

It was all in fun, but I've actually discussed this at some length with friends. Our "plan" would be to stick in a group where we all know each other and basically go bandit. Would we kill for fun? No. But we would kill to defend ourselves. Any "friendly" survivors we met would be sent on their way, forcibly if they refused to leave or managed to find our camp. So, TL;DR: 7

Worst. Survivors. Ever.

I was tooling around balota on a bike, and not paying attention I happened to ride right past two guys with lee enfields. They just sat and watched me, never opened fire. I was curious, so I rode a bit further out then circled back into the treeline above the airstrip. I heard shots and scoped in with my M24 to see both of them fighting off zeds. I watched them finally shoot the last one, and one took a knee to bandage himself. I shot him in the head. His buddy ran over to loot him. I shot him in the head as well. Had a laugh about it, and continued on my way. Then I started thinking about how they saw me and very well could have shot me for my gear and bike. Felt horrible afterwards.

Happened to me awhile back, assumed it was because they were hacking since they were driving a hacked ural with an AA gun in the back around. They stopped at a deerstand, driver gets out and I put 6-8 rounds into the gunner. He survives and tries to shoot at us with the turret. Ended up having the server lag about 15 seconds later which I don't think was a coincidence.

Very secure DayZ Pick one.

He was thinking, "Jesus, I hate run on sentences."

I know from playing ACE that higher caliber rounds do penetrate walls, but that was from a mounted .50 and I have no idea if that's a feature exclusive to ACE or exclusive to the .50.

m136 is supposed to be one shot throw away, but for some reason DayZ has it as a reloadable weapon.

Literally just went into the editor and threw something together. At 700m your correction is 4.6 mils. That hit high every time. My correction is 4 mils. That hit pretty much dead on every time. I can throw a video together for you if you'd like.

If there was ever someone persistent in trying to make me give a shit and failing miserably, it was you. I'll type this out more deliberately this time, so you can get it. Get. Over. It.

Again, I'm super glad it works for you. You're still wrong though, and you're probably not as accurate as you're saying you are. Don't get all butthurt about it, just accept that what you're doing is an extremely rough estimate, and it is in no way shape or form representative of how the mildot system actually works. Quite sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not exaggerating my accuracy, and even though I may not be doing it exactly as you would like me to, my corrections are still near spot on to what yours should be, with the exception of past ~650m. The only butthurt I see here is you getting all antsy that we're not doing it exactly as you'd like. Suck it up, and get over it. I'll continue to use what works for me.

Not to be an ass, but if it takes you half a dozen rounds to get a kill at 800m then clearly you're doing it wrong.

OK, let's clear up this confusion. The DMR, when fully zoomed, is zeroed for 300m. Every additional mildot below it is where the rifle hits at 400, 500, 600, and 700 meters, with 800 being the start of the black bar. Not sure if it works in the opposite direction.

So I was over elektro, sniping (I'm an ass, yes, just went down to blow off some steam from server shenanigans causing vehicle loss). I see two targets on the roof of the firehouse, I drop one, and then go after the other. He goes after his buddy's stuff, then lays down next to him and completely stops moving. I figure, great, easy shot. I line up the shot, take it, and see the blood spatter. No murder in my debug monitor, so I take another shot. Again, blood spatter. And another. Three shots land generally on and/or around the head, but no player kill is credited, and suddenly the player's body disappears. Now, does this mean the player is going to come back in dead? And if so, isn't this still an imperfect fix, seeing as you could still alt+f4 just to deny someone your gear? Tl;DR killed a player during their 5 second dc timer, no kill credited. dc timer broken?

If I recall correctly, Rocket said bandit skins were an imperfect feature, and as such were being removed. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3693 But now, with 1.7.1, we're getting heartbeats. Isn't this the bandit skin, just in a different form? You're still getting a general sense of someone's "humanity" from glancing at them, just now we can wear whatever skins we want with it. Maybe this should be a feature, but humanity and the ways you lose/gain it need to be altered. This still doesn't fix the very arbitrary system that is humanity. TL;DR: Heartbeat just bandit skins reincarnated, humanity still in need of fixing.

You got steam? Press w, then open the steam overlay (shift tab) Voila, you have auto run. come back in 20 mins and you'll be there

That's the thing, we did have DayZ with no bandit skins/indicator. You probably noticed how people bitched on the forums. So Rocket caved and added the heartbeat.
