    There were at Least 5 of you i had just spawned and found an m16A2 with 2 mags at the military tents. I figured id make a run on the AFB quick i scouted it out briefly and assumed i was safe to proceed. It was... until i got to the second hanger and i heard Coughing (one of yours was infected). So i Dashed to the crashed truck inside the hanger and camped it out. Sure enough i see 2 of you coming around the corner next to the rubble pile...i waited until one of you tried your Luck to get inside and shot him dead.

    I waited for the second guy next to the rubble pile to peak his head out... he did and i was able to shoot him through a Small crack. That's when i heard a 3rd person approaching from the opposite side of the hanger...i tried to Bluff my way out of this situation saying i had a couple friends coming any minute now. I think it worked for 5 minutes or so.... it seemed Like an eternity in that hanger.

    Eventually (not hearing footsteps for awhile) i went to the opposite side of the hanger to see if i could get a better eye on things and Loot the first dead guys body. What i didn't know was that one of you had a sniper >.< he shot and broke my Leg i was able to bandage and avoid his sniper fire from the far right corner of the hanger. I decided to wait there and make my final stand. After another short eternity the 3rd guy i had heard from the left side of the hanger started moving again as well as a 4th new guy from the right side of the hanger where i shot the first 2 guys.

    Finally the third guy poked his head out enough and i took the shot and kiIIed him...since i was in 3rd person i was able to see the 4th guy start proning his way to the hanger as i tried to shimmy out and ninja him quick BOOM your sniper shot and killed me.

    Was just wondering if i could get one of your guy's side of the story from your perspective. You guys had my heart pumping so fast i think i had about 4 heart attacks XD (if i dont get a reply everyone else enjoy my story!)

    It is your ping. Specifically, the milliseconds of delay between you and the server. Anything below 200 is okay, below 150 is normal, below 100 is almost completely smooth.

    Fun fact 200ms is also the amount of time it takes your brain to recognize emotion in facial expressions

    I didn't know it'd be some irrelevant bullshit 'story' when I started reading and now I feel like my mind has been shat into. This is not a pleasent feeling' date=' thus I am complaining. Perhaps I am keeping some people from making the same mistake while I'm at it.

    if you want the most accurate judge of distance yes...once you get used to this system however doing the math isn't even needed as you'll be able to eyeball it more or less.

    Another handy way is to do the math before hand and have a cheat sheet next to you with mildot-distance conversions handy.

    The best way with the cz to judge distance is to use the chevron as a mildot... its about 1.5 mildots big so you just need to find out the height of the object, times it by 1000, then divide that number by the height of it in mildots. A standing zombie is about 1.8m tall a monkey .8 and a crawler .4

    so a Standing zombie thats 3 mildots tall is about 600m away (1.8x1000/3)

    or a monkey thats 1.5 mildots tall is 550m or so away (.8x1000/1.5)

    thats the best i can do for ya :D

    Hope it helped!

    *edit* OFC the more you use the gun the easier it gets to judge distances

    since animals don't seem fazed by the infection..and roaming the country side is pretty anticlimactic with no zombies.

    How about another element of danger...such as roaming packs of wolves/dogs..some bears a sparse amount of tigers i know those animals are native to russia and would make the wilds more...well wild.

    I would like to see some zombies be a bit tougher (no increase in damage) I'm all for headshots being one shot but give some of them a bit more hp in the body region.

    One shot in the gut with some weapons to drop a zombie? couldnt some of them randomly be a bit tougher? like 2-3 body shots to drop some of them? It will also add a little more heft to your in game decisions. You could get a group of weak ones or a group of tougher ones or a nice mix. It just might make u think twice about firing off that round.

    Now before u cry foul about the newly spawned players ive got it covered and made a nice little map to illustrate it.

    This will also make ammo conservation a bigger priority since headshots will be more crucial since that's a 1 shot for any gun.

    Any constructive criticism or things to add? And if you like the idea let it be known!

    No' date=' you are going to make the game more unrealistic in trying to make it realistic in regards to your limited knowledge.

    Most AR's & AK's can easily last 5,000 rounds without the most minor things getting weak. You might need to replace the extrator at 10,000 rounds, but the barrels can easily last 30,000 rounds and stay accurrate. Now precision sniper rifles have barrels that will only keep their accuracy for a more limit number of rounds depending on caliber. But even .308 sniper rifles can have barrel lives of around 10,000 rounds.

    my knowledge is far from limited on this subject yeah okay fire 5000 rounds through a gun without cleaning it it causes build up making shells not eject proper and with gas powered military weapons it would stop cycling rounds into the chamber. Not to mention the corrosive residue left behind by those rounds if left uncleaned would rust out your gun.

    Hmm not sure if I like it. Military-grade weapons are very tough' date=' especially things like the AK. They are designed to be put through hell, games that have them degrade as quickly as STALKER are pretty unrealistic.

    what if military weapons would degrade slower than your average low tier weapon you find ala dbl barrel winchester. Maybe even add a gun cleaning kit to help slow degradation as well.
