No point in trying to reason with him, the dude is an angry Walt. The only thing to be taken from this thread is "your experience may vary", trying to stick all players to the wall with the same nail is asinine.

So, first post is just to "warn" others about sites that have hacks for sale? Riiiiiiigghhhtt.... Go peddle your wares elsewhere, loser.

Solid post, agreed on all counts. Beans to you.

Interesting thread, nice to see some can keep it (mostly) civil. I think, if pressed, I'd be firmly behind orlok on this issue. Its not cheating (at worst, maybe call it an exploit?) but its disappointing. The best I can come up with is that it gives me the same feeling that calculators in schools nowadays do. Kids have almost universal access to a calculator, to the point they can't function (and often get angry) if they are denied access to them. Yes, in normal, day to day life, you will almost always have access to a calculator. But does that mean you shouldn't learn long division? I hope that makes a bit of sense, though I'm probably dating myself with the analogy. Long story short, the video and Mr. "my super tac squad pwned the airfield with team speak" say it all. You might not be "cheating", but deep down you probably know youre cheating yourself out of some of the experience.

I get confused with these constant "KOS is the only way" threads. People understand there is a GIANT map available to them, right? From the majority of the posts, it seems that most think there are invisible walls around Cherno and Elektro keeping them there. Explore some, there are plenty of spots to find good kit. I've been playing since the game came out, and I've been killed more times by server wipes and falling off ladders than I have by other players. Come to think of it, I think I've only been killed by another player once. I've also only killed someone once, a fully-geared server-hopper who spawned in one of the barracks while I was in the hallway. He came out of the bathroom, saw me, and tried to draw his weapon, and died where he stood. This is not to say that I haven't had any player interaction. I just watch and wait, make sure they're alone, and then move in. I come in weapon drawn and announce, calmly, that I'm not here to hurt anyone, I just want to see what they're all about. Everyone so far has reacted with reason, we talk, exchange any items, and move on. If I spot someone who is creeping along, weapon out and geared up, I move on unseen. If I am looting and come up on open doors, I move on unseen. This has allowed me to stay alive for days at a time without having to resort to shooting everyone I see. Common sense and a bit of patience goes a long way to keeping yourself alive, a lot better than running to the biggest cities or Balota as fast as you can, then coming here to complain that you keep getting killed on sight.
