1.61 rc3 will pork ur install. Try this: copy your arma install folders and user folder. just rename them when your switching back and forth between the 1.61 and 1.60. you could even write a batch file to do this quickly. sry about post as im on my phone.

YES, Reset player and server data on every major patch

They would have posted guards if their junk was really that important to them.

The Real Virtuality 3 Engine (ArmA 2) does simulate wind but this has no effect on the projectile unless you are using a mod like ACE. I have heard that there may be a slight effect in single player but I have not tested this rumor. Now get back under your bridge and don't come back until you can actually contribute something factual and in an intelligent manner.

I think the OP has a point. At the moment the only factors a sniper has to consider is breath control and bullet drop. Without the other factors such as availability of specialized rounds, wind direction, temperature, humidity and angle/elevation it is extremely easy to kill someone at 1.5km. Now I wouldn't want to remove long range weapons entirely but I would change the current loot tables to bring engagement distances down into the lower hundred meter ranges. Remove all anti-material rifles, reduce ammo spawns related to sniper rifles, and remove anything that should use batteries. Alternatively, instead of removing the device that uses electricity, implement the generator idea Rocket has mentioned before. You could then recharge your batteries to use that rangefinder or night vision device. Another idea would be a personal solar cell requiring the player to spend personal time exposed in the daylight to charge his fancy gadget. No hiding in the forest to charge your crap. As to the rarity of the M107 or AS50 they are really not that rare. The DMR and CZ550 weapons systems seem to be the things of legend at the moment but their ammo is plentiful. I have personally come across four anti-material rifles within 30 minutes on one occasion. Two at a crashed helo two and two more in the trunk of a red Skoda parked in the woods 2km away. And on certain days (not always) I seem to be able to find M107 ammo in almost every deer stand. Over the last week one of our members has located a crashed helo nearly every day. In some cases more than one in a play session. The moral is that I would like to see more firefights occur in engagement ranges that reflect real world statistics. I am not against a sniper or a marksman. But the 1.5km kill is not the average post- apocalyptic skill that you would regularly see like we currently do in Day Z.

Sounds like you need a broker.

You're hasty ambush was poorly thought out and executed. You deserved your loss. Engaging with SD weapons at 300+ meters? Rapid firing your DMR? Yeah.

DE60 1530 PST June 30 2012 Lynx helo spotted inflight on a heading of NW over NW arifield. It's not good sport to have a helo with thermal imaging, rockets and a grenade launcher. I hope you can find this shitbird.

Hear, Hear!

Unless it has been scripted as single use you need the rocket ammo. We need someone who knows the script to chime in or you can just pull the trigger and see what happens.

I agree with the OP's points about side chat for use in helping new players adjust to the game. However, more experianced players could just hang out on the coast for a few hours each day and help the newbies learn the ropes. Another option I was thinking about was a beginners map with SIDE CHAT (cell phone) on. Maybe a small island so that players could learn game mechanics etc. But when a player turns his weapon on another player then they would graduate to Chernarus and be prevented from playing there. I know this would be a carebear enviornment but you could also set it so that when a certain task is completed you graduate in a positive way. Maybe repairing a plane/boat and flying/cruising into a trigger area moves you into the big leagues. CHERNARUS. It would also be a nice beginning story arc. Try and find a way of the island (frying pan) to get you take you to Chernarus (fire) in a civillian AN-2 COLT or Fishing Boat but something happens and you wash up on the coast. p.s. This idea came from my mind as to why you would wash up on a foreign beach in the first place.
