Tactical Nuke

I had a three/four hour run on Experimental two nights ago. I spawned in Cherno and ran West, eventually cut up towards Pav Military, hit Zeleno and carried on up to NWAF. I found plenty food, clothes, assorted junk, pistols, mags, ammo etc but it wasn't until I killed two guys at Zeleno (got an MP5 from one) that I had a gun other than the P1 Pistol I had been using. This didn't bother me, though, it may bother some. I actually ENJOY LOOTING.

Being British, I think the whole U.S. theme has been done to death. Yeah sure it's so popular because it's essentially the source of main stream western media, but that aside, surely I can't be the only one fed up running around another rehashed mashup version of an American city? It's been done in so many games, albeit maybe not in this setting. I'd love to see some central Europe themed maps. I'd love to run around somewhere like Paris, London or my home city Glasgow. The possibilities are endless but I know that once modding is available there will be lots of new variations, I just hope thre's a good enough variation.

Cheers for that. Beans!

You can kill a zombie easily in 2-3 punches. No word of a lie.

Frying pan + cooking stove + gas cannisters = only two slots of inventory, you can also store stuff inside the frying pan and use it to cook. You can also swap the pan for a cooking pot and use it as storage in the same way. Both work as cooking implements with the portable gas stove but be warned that once the frying pan/pot has been used it will continue to make you warm to the point you may overheat if it's in your bag whilst warm.

I'm excited for it, but last time I checked exp the zombies were near impossible to fight unless you stood directly in front of them and took a severe beating in the process, will they be any better on live? I hope so.

Last night I went and met a friend in Dolina, I was clearing a house when I opened a door upstairs and there was a zombie in the room. No problem, axe out, dealt with it. But when I turned round there was another zombie standing in the doorway and I shit-you-not the fucking door closed. My heart was pumping, I'm standing there like what the fuck just happened? Did that zombie close that door?! I opened it again and sure enough the zombie was still standing there, womp goes the axe and it's down but there is literally not another thing in the room. What the fuck closed that door?!

We've had reports on our server of hackers "carpet bombing" areas. We have no difinitive proof though, though we can check death/kill logs we had no admin on at the time. :(

DayZ is the one game that always, without fail, delivers dem feels.

For trade: 2x 60rnd STANAG magazines. Looking for: M4 RIS and ACOG. Any takers?

Yeah it's heli loot, I've seen a few of these badboys (gave two to friends) now though never in any other condition other than Damaged. Nice amount of storage and it the tan one looks great with a Plate Carrier (no clipping!) but sadly it's not waterproof and as a result I'm constantly having to stop to make fires.

New attachments to existing weapons I'd like to see different barrels and scopes for the AUG.

I'll take ballistic protection over storage space any day.

I've got mines set to Normal, a couple of effects turned on and a couple others turned off. I hit anything between 40-60fps in the open and 15-25 in towns and everything looks fine for me. I know if I reduce my Rendering Resolution from 200% I will gain a good boost but then everything looks pretty shitty. My frames are no game breaker anyway, I'm rarely in towns.

I will take an M4 over all guns, but that's just down to personal preference. I don't care about stats, I just like the way it looks and it's never failed me in a firefight (which happen quite often). M4 > AK101 > AUG > AK74 > AKM but that's just me.

Keep it up man!

It'd be kinda cool if you could place the Novo Tower as a marker for the town, the Cherno Hotel etc but I guess not enough towns have unique buildings that define them - hopefully this will change. Nice map. :)

When I first started playing a guy in a clown mask chased me for a good 30mins through trees and forrest, every time I thought I had lost him he popped up again wielding his shovel. I did eventually get away from him. DayZ isn't scary, it's tense as fuck though.

I have seen a video, can't remember who by, who was knocked unconscious from a headshot and when he woke up the only item ruined was his Gorka helmet w/ Visor.

Yeah I found one about 20mins after this post and seen for myself that the scope couldn't be changed, I had an M4 on me and a truck and I couldn't dual carry so I threw that badboy in the bushes about 20m away from the chopper haha

What? Whenever I'm fully geared that's when I look forward to encounters the most. I only kos at military sites but if anyone is acting suspicious or doesn't talk when I hail them then they're now a target too. I'm constantly travelling between NWAF and the new island hoping to encounter people. (I'm on my 2nd M4 since .53 and 3rd character)

I didn't like it pre-.53 because of the stock scope attached to it but there were rumours that in .53 we would be able to change the scope but I've yet to see one to find out.

I've been a couple of times now and every time I've been I've ran into someone. There's a lot of traffic there just now, mainly from server hoppers. You could sit scanning the island for 20minutes and see nothing and by the time you've swam over there could be a couple of guys running around that have logged in there. It's best to go in numbers, and it's best to go prepared (fireplace, etc).

I found three helicopters, two smoking and one non, on our Pers:OFF server last night. I did see a lot of useless loot at two of them but at the third I found an M4. :)

I sat by the lighthouse on the hill and could see two of my friends running around on the island quite clearly, they looked like tiny little ants but I could see them. I was not using binoculars or a scope.
