at some point it's like if you know you're gonna be busy for the holidays, don't make other plans for that time I have a job too. and if I have a deadline, no one wants to hear about my family and all that. maybe I'm just mad... >:(

I think it's been pointed out a few times that we don't want riddles

wow, that's great news :thumbsup:

that's fine, but at least those options are still there on Chernarus. there's pretty much no chance of long-term survival on Namalsk and again, your claim was the Chernarus was too run&gunny. but then you discount the other options as being 'boring' or whatever. I'm not sure what you want

seems like a self fulfilling prophecy. you think it's too run & gunny because you think there's no reason to go anywhere but the active combat areas

just wander around and pick-up all the trash loot. I think I'll change my name to "I pick up empty cans" and try it out :thumbsup: I'll probably grab most of those chem-lights and flares too

in the process, I've uncovered a mystery: empty tin can <--- food can empty soda can <--- soda can empty whiskey bottle <--- ????????

obviously I'm gonna bring them all to California and get paid but yeah, the hope is better loot will spawn

double...

but exposed skin is not the warmest part of the body. it's just exposed. if you managed to cover it all up, and wear something that insulates better than 'normal' clothing, it seems you should have less of a heat signature I mean, haven't you seen Predator? :D

so why is exposed skin the brightest thing on a person seen through thermal? I'm not sure a gillie would make you "invisible", but it seems it would make you less visible

well people are always saying a ghillie is very hot to wear. that means it's insulating the heat, and less heat is escaping, therefore making it harder to detect the heat radiating from your body

I'll just drop this here:

it's hard to rationalize it with 'realism'. I mean, why does military loot spawn at deer stands? why are there m107 rounds at industrial sites? I don't care, but it's clear at some point these decisions were made for rather 'gamey' reasons (for that matter, the AWS sight is fictitious) this is a mod of a military shooter. I think the stand-alone will be kinda different anyway, I voted for the 'alternative'. but I get the feeling no one will care about it if it doesn't have thermal

alright, but that's why I just said any "individual building". that's six barracks. I'm not trying to argue, just clarifying what I was saying I always think about the fact that most of these maps have been around since before DayZ, but because of the decisions rocket made as to where to put the loot on Chernarus, all these other maps followed his decisions. in other words, the barracks placements on these maps I imagine were mostly chosen for arbitrary/cosmetic reasons, but they've resulted in some interesting loot balance as these maps were ported to DayZ. the other side of that is lastnight I was playing on Taviana, and saw what I thought was a group of barracks, only to find out they were a bunch of fake-out non-enterable look-a-like buildings <_<

where in takastan? I was saying as far as any individual building is concerned. Namalsk has 2 unique buildings (underground at A2, and that building at Seraja army base) that spawn more military loot than any (one) barracks

it seems a lot of people do just that. a few times I've been down there and there's a big pile of loot in the corner. it's definitely the most plentiful military spawn in all of DayZ

it's still rare dude. it's like expecting to find a L85 (yes I know it's no longer spawning) and AS50 every time you find a crashed helli. I've been to barracks I don't know how many times, and never found legit range finders

Arma is sold on steam, but it's not really integrated with 'achievements' and whatnot. for that matter, I'm sure a lot of know you don't even need steam open to run the game (unlike most steam games)

btw, it's Object A-ll(A2), not "object all" [/pet_peeve]

I was thinking it would be cool if you could see the 'history' of a gun: how many owners, how many people killed, etc

uh, a large number of the current haxxers paid $30 for the game. not to mention many of them paid for the hacks as well. it's seems money is hardly a factor

I play on a public hive server that announced they would be kicking any players that have that gun. it makes sense, otherwise people are just gonna hack them in and then claim they were 'grandfathered' and yeah, all those satchel charges seem suspect as well

well I think the question is will this 'minecraft model' 'alpha release' be on Steam? has Steam ever done something like that (alpha/beta release) before (other than with their own Valve games)?
