wow this one just seems like a "no-brainer". I've also wondered where the helm light is for the ballistic helmet too.

ohhh on the mean side of this badly damaged ammo if it fires could stand a chance to damage the weapon too.... run through a mag of badly damaged ammo with the M4 and suddenly your M4 is no longer pristine now its maybe worn or damaged or worse - make those weapon cleaning kits useful that's for sure.

yes a couple of weeks ago - someone (OP) should learn to use the search function.

funny someone should bring up radio battery in any context from the game - I mean really there is only one battery to fit everything that needs a battery. where the hell is the D-cell battery? or AAA?? or even just the ever-so-prevalent AA??? cause "realism".

I can see it now... Guppy mad dashin for the med tent at balota for a portable surgery. ;)

ohhh nice choice on the text color. so I like it, I assume you need a shovel to bury someone as well. not sure why I would want to dig someone up tho but hey to each their own. maybe have a stone too so ya can leave a word or two. 100 man servers would have graves lining the roads at all major spawns for as far as the eye could see.... yeah that would creep me out a bit.

very well said - I have spent a lifetime with challenges, they make me tired (yes I am old) so all I want out of my game is some fun and currently that's exactly what I get with dayz and based on the recent roadmap it looks like that's what I will have from dayz in the future as long as no one pays any attention to threads like this.

interesting considering that I play solo very well inland (except when the freakin environment kills me, which has been a lot lately). my player interaction consists of me watching you through my scope and deciding not to pull the trigger. your welcome. why do you realism asshats want to turn the game into a job that dosen't pay? oh and could ya post a link to dean's quote? that would be nice.

I know right?? and I am old enough to have contributed many many many quarters to assist in the effort to make gaming mainstream.... how real was pong? man that shit was crazy real.

considering that in the game I usually aim for another player, some lackluster zed or one of those indestructible rabbits I would have to argue about the game going for "realism" since I have never in real life had to shoot at zeds nor have I ever met an indestructible rabbit (we wont talk about shooting other players...) now that we have that all nice and clear - as an avid player I don't give 2 shits about any supposed "realism" I will however, be furious if I have to sort through 50 different calibers of ammo in the game just because "realism" - you can count me out of your "we" cause all I care about is a game that's fun I don't play em cause they are "real"

I would have to agree completely. placement is EVERYTHING in a firefight. as for the fun, well its hard to say no to the hard recoil and lavish BOOM of the 1911A1 (I had to qualify on one for the USN many moons ago but have still not bought my own). my baretta just seemed anemic by comparison but its hard to say no to the hi-cap mags...... maybe I'm just too conflicted over it all. for the money and hi-cap tho I am thinking a .40S&W is in my near future.

ok so here is another article that lets us know the differences with the various 9mm rounds available... http://hunting.about.com/od/ammo/f/9mmluger9mmpara.htm I'm a .45 girl either way - it just does so much of a better job at stopping peeps than the 9mm. its like the difference between being run thru with a rapier vs being slammed with a Louisville slugger, i'll take the slugger any day.

ok so this is a 5 year old posting but read the second post (the first post on that page is a good setup tho) http://policelink.monster.com/topics/64311-stopping-power-of-the-45-acp/posts edit: oops I forgot to mention... it's been my experience that the recoil on the 1911A1 is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the 92F - buts its been a while since I've been to the range.

my late father-in-law was a Houston homicide detective - you would be astounded at how many 9mm rounds a body can take before it stops moving (likely the motivation for hi-cap magazines) and its worse when the person being shot is on certain drugs or tons of adrenaline. get a .45 that said.... there are multiple teams of devs working on different aspects of the game, the art team (all the pretty aesthetic appeal) does NOT work on performance issues - they do art, and they do it well. currently there is a team rebuilding the render engine and maybe its just me but it sure seems like working on the engine is a LOT harder than creating a new hat. perhaps you should keep up with the current development by reading all info from the devtracker and other sources that have been kindly made available to us so we have a better idea of what is going on.

charcoal tablets worked for me but she was sayin stuff like "I have a funny taste in my mouth". whats your toon sayin in the game that makes you think he/she is sick?

hahah yeah this makes great sense actually - kudos dude - I feel like this happens to me all the time already, I swear when I am in dire straits and the zeds are a closing in I'm droppin shells like crazy just to get two more loaded in the shotty. (its really just that massive FPS drop I get when I get myself involved in close encounters around buildings but it sure feels like I'm a clumsy oaf at times)

unless it's Lincoln's axe ;) side note: that was a pretty dumb movie but that axe was awesome oh and the art was really nice.

there is no rage - only disappointment that you exist. unless you are playing on US servers we are never going to be on the same server (experimental may be the only exception) I have played on a euro server or two and I really don't like the people I find there so I will just stick to my local servers thanks. as there are no rules other than what can and cannot be accomplished by engine limitations there is no "how its meant to be played" that's the fantastic brilliance of a sandbox - don't like it? go somewhere else. what you did was be an asshat and make false accusation while attempting to demean my home in some inordinate way. you sir, have no manners and are certainly not worthy of any further consideration. my sympathies to your fellow euro gamers.

gee in over 800 hours I have never gone psycho on someone - I've seen it happen plenty of times however. I usually just die when psycho arrives - no time for that shit.

kinda hard for me to ruin your experience if we are not on the same server ehh sport? peeps like you are the reason I really have no love for the community overall. you can shove your false accusations up your backside.

I will never understand the "we need fewer choices!" type of person. OP, what I think is - NO! I play solo and I play where I want, when I want and I sure as hell don't want the game to tell me where and when I can play - there are many many more reasons to change servers than loot, sometimes you just click the wrong server to join. I owe no allegiance to any group including the servers and their owners and I aim to keep it that way. stop trying to remove my choices.

interesting.... I only play on US servers. not sure what that means but its darker in the game then it is outside when the times coincide.

funny thing about this is I have always viewed the piano houses as just such places. oddly enough there is some civilian clothes (sometimes a lot) and fair amount of food, weapons and ammo. I look for the piano house after I am geared for food, sewing kits and maps and before I am geared for everything else. every time I see a piano house I think of some rich ex-politburo that was fed to the zeds when the fall came. I am not opposed to having more evidence of rich people being fed to the zeds tho.

I have often wondered how far into the northern latitudes chernarus as a country is. when I join a server at 16:00 I don't expect any darkness but that's just because I am used to the day/night cycles here at home - it doesn't get dark here till around 20:00. my assumption is that chernarus is very far to the north for it to be dark so early in the evening during spring. pitch black at 16:00 to 17:00 seems unreasonable at first but then I just adjusted to it and went on.

looks like polana to me. I took a pic of a soldier zed standing not too far from where these pics come from. you should be more or less facing gorka in those pics - I think. edit: makes me think this could be a good side game - I've seen a lot of posts like this - put up a pic and guess the location. prizes to be determined later.
