Ermm I had an issue exactly like this, so a quick question. How long did it take you to get back to your body? The time I had it happened took me roughly 8 minutes (Might of been more or less, but since then I've done a timed run from spawn to the location), and whilst I was able to see my body I couldn't loot it. My nephew however, who had stayed to make sure no one looted it in the mean time, watched it de-spawn. Now I dunno if it's lag, de-synch or whatever, but it could of been an issue like this.

You sir have my beans! This made ma laugh and was far from the furthest thing I expected as a response XD I know we could walk away, but that wasn't my point. My point was is there a positive side to combat logging such as saving ammo etc etc. I'm sorry if I misunderstood what you mean by your post, but it's hard to gleam much from a single line answer without an explanation. So like I said, sorry if I mistook what you said, but please elaborate a bit more.

At 83 hours of play I've killed 6 possibly 7 players. Only reason I know this is because each instance has been interesting. The first was a bambi who ran at me out of the blue, I had my fire axe out. He started punching so I swung and down he went. The second was at NEAF, heading towards the hangar (Had been checking the area frequently) when suddenly someone unloads a clip of M4 ammo at me. I run into the hang and right into the closest corner as I went in, swapped from my mosin to FNX and wait. He runs in without checking and I unload into him. Probably wasted most of the shots but hey, I survived. The next 3 made me laugh, group of 3 guys in Elektro killing people. Got the drop on the first by accident, axed him and grabbed his gun. Whilst moving from the building his mate runs in, get's gunned down by instinct (Only know they were together cus of global). The third I spotted running towards where I had just keft, and they open up at me. I fire back but I'm down before I can guarantee the kill, though I'm sure I saw him drop. (This is the possible 7th). The last two I remember cus it pissed me off. I came across 2 new spawns on the coast (I'd been heading up to Berenzo and planned on going Svet afterward) and was sticking to the tree line. Well I see 2 guys working together, watch them for a few minutes and decide, ok let's be a nice guy. I call out in global for them not panic, I'm friendly and I drop some food and drink for them, even though they didn't answer. I watch as they eat and drink, and when they are done, I leave them to it. Next thing I know, they both start swinging for me, so I drop them with my sawn off. But yeah, those are my account's, and are also hy I'm so close to being someone who doesn't help anyone unless I know them now.

Now before the flaming starts let me make a few points. First of all, searched and found nothing like what I'm about to say. Secondly, I do NOT support combat logging, in fact it really annoys me most of the time, apart from what I'm about to mention. So please, read before posting. Now, like I said, I hate those who combat log, especially if they are the one who have initiated the fire fight. A few times this has happened to me, someone has opened fire, realised they were either vulnerable, under geared compared to me or various other reason. When someone combat logs like this, I hate it, generally due to the cowardice it takes for such an action. I was raised to finish what I started, in real life or in games, so I do this as much as I can. However, recently I've come across a few who have combat logged which personally for me was a positive even. Yesterday I was somewhere between Kam and Sol (or those unsure where these are they are located between Elektro and Berenzo) waiing for my nephew to get there, ( He had died through a glitch and this was the nearest location for us to meet up.) Well I was set up in the tree line, watching the road for my nephew, and also for trouble. A few other new spawns ran past, and those I was quick enough to get their attention I sent on their way with some food and drink as I had more than enough on me. ( We had been planning to explore the map so had stocked up well). Now whilst waiting a bandit came along ( Literally ran up and shot a new spawn, luckily I had been slower than usual in getting their attention). I took the shot and missed, moving forwards as they ran into the closest house. Now whilst I kept all possible ways they could leave covered ( As in I'd of seen them move out) I checked the new spawn (Dead) and entered the house, drawing my sawn off, only to find all other entrances shut, and no one inside. This happened a few times whilst I was in the area. Now onto the main point. These cowards ho log when someone gets the drop on them like I did do in a way perform us a service. We save ammo from a prolonged firefight for starters. It also free's up room on the server for better players. Finally, it also gives us (At least in my situation as described) Some way to rid ourselves of boredom whilst waiting around, even though we do not get the satisfaction of finishing them off. So I'd lke to see what others think, and if anyone else has had similar thoughts to me.

Man I love Garages! So many people see them and ignore them because the door graphics look like so many doors that won't open XD But yeah, finding and LRS ain't too much of a problem. Finding a pristine one however? That's usually a different story.

Genius XD Reminds me of the game me and my nephew now play, which is whenever we come across a gas station we have to take it in turns to run up, 1 at a time, and punch each metre!

You sir, have my beans! First of all you see the humour in this, second of all your willing to accept what may happen! I should state however if you do die it won't be by my hands. If I happen to make it to this event, I will most likely be over looking it from a nearby point, probably mosin and lrs, with my gaming companion/nephew on lookout for me!

Haha this made me laugh. Just a suggestion though, you should of gone looney tunes with the captions, I.E "Evilus Banditus" then one over yourself saying " Newus Spawnus" Just a suggestion if ya wanna re-edit though. brilliant though, sir/ma'am you have my beans!

I know people are going to hate this, but the image it caused in my head made me laugh. Just imagine it, everyone stood round, all you can hear is "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear BANG!" followed by the words "You Are Dead" made me laugh.

Haha no, but recently I've been playing with my nephew who has just got the game. Well every time he starts to piss me off, or starts to play weird, or hell just cus I'm bored I've developed a bad habit of shooting his character in the leg. And basically, I got sick of searching for sticks or morphine, or having to run back to the coast. Plus with the glitches that still happen at times, it pays to be prepared!

Haha is this the only place you have done this? Cus I was in NWAF yesterday (I think it was yesterday) And every building apart form the hangars was full of splints. I'm talking in the real world you wouldn't be able to enter the building because of the volume. Was usefull though, snagged a few for my journey!

My first real player interaction was kinda funny. (I say real as any others I had before this were more or less being sniped). Anyways, I was in Elektro looking for gear, and I opened the back door of a house to leave it. Suddenly I hear gunshots suddenly so I drop prone, and see 2 fully armed players in the yard. Now both are looking away, so I get up and I'm about to run for it when one turns towards me, and suddenly fires. I don't get hit and decide to rush forwards with my axe, deciding that I'm taking at least one of them with me. Well, suddenly I hear them shouting to chill out, and that they were dealing with zombies, one had been behind me. Stopping, I give the benfit of the doubt and check, only to find a zombie on the floor, and another glitching through the wall. Turns out the noise had bugged so I hadn't heard them, and the guy had saved me. What made this more memorable is they directed me to where they had been ditching supplies from around the city, told me to help myself and wished me good luck. Finding the gear, I equipped myself with enough to get myself somewhere to gear upmore, leavibg them with plenty. On the way out of the city however, I heard what sounded like a firefight, I just hope they made it out ok.

Fair enough, just sounded really familiar because whoever shot me downed me, and then fired a few more shots missing, before finally walking upto me, going prone, and shooting me in the face

Ermmm I may of missed this, so I apologise if I have, but for all of you defending the "combat logger" or whatever you want to call him, and say that he is playing the game his own way, you may want to reread the original post. If you look, OP was only there originally tracking down the guy who had killed his friend. So no doubt, he had gotten the drop on him or something, and feel good about it. However, when the tables are turned on him, he runs off basically? How can you justify this behaviour then, in which it is ok for him to kill another player, but the moment he may be killed "poof" he disappears? It seems a bit hypocritical if you ask me. Now I may get flamed for this, and feel free to, honestly everyone has their own opinion, and I don't agree with combat logging, especially in a situation like this where the player caused it. Now on a side note, how come I never get situations like this lol? Most of the time I get killed by a player all I hear is mosin shot followed by the words "You are dead" I'd love a chance to fight back, or get held up, anything for some actual human interaction rather than running off or sniping me.

I love this idea as well! being from the U.K I can't claim to have any experience with guns, so maintaining a weapon is something I am not familiar with, but like all complicated equipment, maintenance is required! You wouldn't run your car into the ground now would you? Ignore those ho say that this shouldn't be in the game, they obviously have no experience, or even knowledge of firearms. You will probably find all those who ague against this are the KoS kiddies (Not aimed at all you who KoS but you know the type I mean), who suddenly won't know how to play the game with the risk their precious weapons could blow up resulting in them being killed.
