The ingame map is better for navigation than the 3rd party website map. Ingame has the countours/elevations etc and geographical landmarks. Using a map and compass or just the map and landmarks, it is easy and realistic to navigate or plan a route. That being said, I did that in the mod days and have played Arma2 since it came out so pretty much have Chernarus memorized and have no need for the ingame maps at all. Even a compass is not necessary because you can always tell which way North is by the direction of shadows at any time of day. I guess you could say I've "leveled up" and have intrinsic knowledge of the landscape the same way I do in the region I hunt in real life. LOL I use the 3rd party map now to see what has been added in terms of loot probabilities or new items/vehicles etc.

Agreed with the OP and hopefully the details will be corrected over time. I agree about the ammunition as well being a bit of a stickler for firearm accuracy; the Mosin with it's 7.62x54R rimmed cartidges cannot fire the SKS round, which is the 7.62x39 (not rimmed) and vice versa. I'm confident they will model that accurately.

Debate on this one is funny but also so very DayZ! To be honest, I would have shot him too. I usually play with a buddy, two of us in the position the two were in with this Mr. Please Don't Shoot Me standing there with a bayoneted rifle on his back. How often have you all thought; ok, this is a different type of guy because he's using a pleading voice......only to be shot and killed as soon as you turn your back. If it were me and a friend or two and this guy coming up to us asking us not to shoot, what choice do we have? It would be looking over our shoulder for 10 minutes even if we backed away just then. In past experience, at least one of us dies because this guy turns on us. We have learned in the DayZ mod (early days before the scripting so haven't played since the first few months of DayZ and now back again) that if secure with a group, kill all others not in the group. Isn't this the very essence of human survival??? Trust the group/clan and kill all outsiders, for about 2 million years this is how we survived as a species. I find DayZ brings out the primitive in all of us and I kind of love it for that reason. :)

An Enfield, or a Soviet era Mosin Nagant, which is the rifle in the game IS a military rifle. Have you never heard of WW2? They just get used for hunting these days. Adding a scope to it will make it as accurate as any sniper rifle in real life if you know how to set it up. Same in game, and more realistic as there are literally millions of Nagants laying around Eastern Europe. *edit* The post I responded to didn't get quoted. Basically saying the rifles are fine in game. They are dangerous and should kill in one shot. The variety of guns or sniper style rifles available should reflect what might realistically be found in the area after the "zombie outbreak" the game is based on. Mosin nagant or SVD, both just as accurate and going to kill you in 1 shot...as it should be. As for some of the suggestions for realistic bullet drop etc. That is easy but at the ranges that most shoot in game it won't make the difference that I think some are suggesting it for. Shooting a Mosin a couple hundred yards, which is the typical furthest distance ever shooting in game is only going to see a bullet drop of a few inches. Modelling that in game is good but dropping 3 to 5 inches at 200 yards won't make a difference to the bullet hitting a fatal area of the body. In my opinion, don't dumb down anything to make it easier to survive being shot. There are plenty of other shooter games out there that do that. Lets keep DayZ as realistic as possible.

One bullet will kill you dead. Even a .22 will kill you in one shot in the right place. This is what makes this game great, the realism. What protection did you have? Where did the bullet hit and what caliber was the bullet? Once you get used to the realism and learn some survival strategies and how to avoid getting shot you won't want to go back to console style shooter games where a bullet to the head WON'T kill you.

They are not building the standalone from the ground. They are using a modified Arma2 engine (From Take On Helicopters). But having control over the state of the game engine in a standalone should allow the devs to button down things a lot tighter and control the scripting at least.

Admins can only do a gear check by looking through the logs, a daunting and time consuming task. Admins cannot magically see you and your stuff on a map. Scripters running a script to take the vehicles, more likely than admin. Admin have far fewer "powers" than most players realize in DayZ. To the OP, likely your vehicles just got stolen. They are easy to see, even in trees and the places you think are out of the way are the same places everyone else thinks are out of the way. Thats why my buddy and I run through out of the way places every once in a while and almost always find vehicles and tent camps.

Just keep looking until you find one, and like your favourite fishing hole, NEVER come on here and tell anyone. As soon as it is public knowledge, the hackers will come in droves.

Keep playing. I've done it, and I"ve seen it. Why it happens, who knows. Maybe it is a positioning thing, where one body is in relation to the one behind it or perhaps a latency issue. If sp86 has produced evidence the evidence only shows that those few mins of video don't capture a double kill. I know I'm not wrong, it happens. I would also imagine documented evidence that can be posted as a video is pretty hard to find, someone would have to happen to be recording when it happens. Rare events are just that, rare. I just looked around and since DayZ came out, it is much harder to piece through all the videos out there...kind of swamped by DayZ vids on Youtube. I can't see any vids online and I certainly don't record my own play. All I can say, whether you will believe me until you observe a double kill/one bullet yourself is just keep playing Arma2 combat servers. You will get one or be part of one sooner or later. In about 3 years I've seen it a handful of times.

I can't. Just keep playing, and play regular Arma2. Sooner or later you'll observe it.

On some scopes you can use PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys to adjust the zero. The bullets will travel a very long ways past the zero at 400m, but if you don't have a range finder and practiced the ranges and drop at the far distances it is kind of wasteful of bullets in DayZ where bullets can be hard to come by. If they are that far away, better to just avoid them, go around or back off that route and take another.

I do not run ACE and run stock Arma2. Multiple kills with one bullet happens off and on. The condititions under which this occurs, I don't know. But it happens. I've done it a couple times and seen it a handful of times in the past few years. I've even tripped someone with a rocket as they happened to run into it's path and get broken legs while the rocket kept going. When you play enough, sooner or later you will encounter the less common "odd" events.

Two targets with one bullet is totally possible. Happens reasonably often on the regular game where there is a lot more combat. The bullets are travelling with realistic speed and impact. They do pass through and can kill the guy behind. The .50 cal will do this, even an M4 can do a double kill in game. I've done it myself with the .308 cal guns. (M-14_)

I"m not sure where the BEST place for your tent is, but I can tell you where the worst place is...anywhere that anyone suggests here. All across servers there are people heading to any mentioned locations now, guaranteed.

The L85 does not have a 300m range. 300m is just what the sights are set for on default. You can fire as far as the bullet will travel before it hits the ground. It is just less accurate at the same long distances as the AS50. Using PageUP and PageDOWN, you can adjust the zero of the scope on the L85 by the way. The bullet does not stop at 300m.

They are pretty sturdy to stand up to the usual drivers not knowing the weird physics of the ATV. They turn very fast when going slow and seem to be drawn to the nearest tree or building whenever near one. If you are at any speed and hit a rock you will likely flip it about 10 feet in the air and land with it wrecked and you possibly dead. ATV's are great on roads and open fields (avoid rocks and bushes). They are hard to drive yet fairly sturdy in forested or town areas when having to go fairly slow.

Then you were wrong. He has been using hacks as well, and probably justifying them to himself by telling himself they aren't the obvious scripts that torment people. He has been hacking as well, scripting, likely the more subtle ones that give him an advantage (no trees/foliage, map markers on, etc.) or has been scripting in equipment etc. A LOT more people hack/script than is obvious. They won't be missed.

Is Lingor official though? I thought Lingor was non endorsed by the dev team and not covered by Battleye?

When you say people are dying and reporting teleporter, how did this happen? If you are alive you cannot hear the dead player's global chat and there is no way to communicate across the server. Direct chat and direct text is only visible in a very small area. If this capability was turned on then you are probably playing on non-official non-hive servers. Those will be a problem and hackers not wanting to be banned will gravitate to those.

Most likely those the loudest "anti-hacker" folks on a server are also hackers. Unless you know them personally in real life there is no way to know. The script running is really endemic and if almost an entire server gets banned, likely almost the entire server was running or had run a banned script in the past. If you haven't seen them hack they just haven't been obvious. I think a LOT LOT more players than most realize are using scripts like the ones that remove trees and foliage or that shows where everyone is on a map etc. Those subtle ones don't stand out like the teleporting idiots, but they are hacks nonetheless. I am glad they are being banned.

Are you positive the tent and items inside were saved by you? Are you also sure that it just wasn't raided and emptied out by other players? My buddy and I came across two tents last night and cleaned them out and resaved them to us, leaving them empty. I can see someone logging back today to their "secret" camp and finding them empty and thinking the items didn't save.

Or maybe battleye is just getting around to banning a bunch of hackers. Most likely this is the case. Everyone who has D/L a script or hack is finally getting their due. Those on here saying they are banned and didn't hack...bullshit. Those on here saying they know someone who was banned but are sure they weren't script/hacking...bullshit. I have no fear of playing and look forward to the idiots not being present where I play. Good job Battleye.

Why not just put it on?

Don't come here and post stuff like this. All it does is cause a few dozen hackers (or more) to go to that server and destroy the gameply for the night for everyone. Either leave the server if you don't like it, try to deal with them on your own, or just avoid them and go elsewhere. Really dumb coming here with a post like this.

You just admitted that you are a hacker. HOpe you get banned.
