Well you can apply a zed face to yourself if you want :)

Personally i blame Abraham Lincoln and his great invention of the interwebz. Since then its all been downhill.

Expect a knock at your front door within the hour..

hey,,after trekkin the wild forests for hours , flitting in and out of cover , diving to the ground at every shadow and on a flat coke high..those butterflys really get my eye twitchin

i loves me flares.

That is weirder than weird. Generally about 5-15 minutes max and you should be armed with at least a pistol and a winchester. In 13 hours you should trekked the map a few times, eaten a truck load of cow and boar, killed a couple of hundred zeds, drank a pond full of water and be on a coke/ pepsi paranoia high throwing chem lights into the forest randomly while shooting your assault rifle at butterflys.

Dont server hop, its like playing monopoly with yourself and being the banker , loaning yourself cash and buying the board, Yes..you win..but how lame and boring. Its not about winning. Some people will never get this. I do the city run first. Most important thing is morphine..without it your dead. Next most important thing is a bigger backpack so i can carry enough food , morph , ammo etc for the journey inland. As long as i have my main items..Morph,bigger backpack matches,knife, extra bandages, painkillers,water bottle and at least a winnie or a mak i am set to travel. Even with only a mak i will head inland and count on a barn or deerstand to give me a better weapon. I dont hang around the cities trying to get a map or a watch or a compass or whatever else, these i will find at a castle or somewhere else on my journey up the map.

drop the flares :) or simply press F and cycle through.

No..but like i said above, changing between the nocs and gun could be your demise. If i have my M41 which is only about 10% of game time, possibly less, i will use it over my nocs to sus out a situation.

I am generally pretty useless with sniper rifles but i like the M41, i can take out zeds at deer stands and barns from ages away without aggro , similar with the Lee enfield but M41 gives me more range. Plus as mentioned above i use it to scope instead of binocs, 90 % of the time i have binocs but the scope is just as easy plus if you are spotted you do not have to swap from binocs to gun which could mean life or death. As also mentioned above, you can cover a mate who goes in to loot. It is no way just a bandit weapon, The map is large enough to warrant the use of sniper rifles unlike the ridiculous sniper action in the other tiny map pvp games. Either way it would not bother me too much as i prefer my winchester ..get a Coyote and you can carry two secondary weps plus a pistol..best of both worlds. I would say it would detract from the game losing the sniper rifles. I bet there is a heap of times everyone has been in someones scope and never even known, hell i have watched people loot and stuff around in cities from the comfort of the forest, warned people they are being stalked and warned others away from me because i have had them under a scope, its a useful tool.

Partly bullshitting :) Its as easy as fuck to get geared up on the coast and preferable for a lot of players that basically live in Cherno/ Elektro. Balota and the nearby military camp will spawn some higher tier stuff as well , i have grabbed m41, m16 , coyote m107 and other gear from there but it is not as fruitful as the bigger airfields. Still you are missing a lot of cool things on the map by coast hugging. You can gear up just as good as Cherno/Elektro at any of the castles plus get away from the madness of the coast. Visit the deer stands on the way through, although they generally dont seem to be my lucky spots as i get greeted by stacks of empty tin cans. I just like the journey inland , the open country and once i get away from the coast i feel that i am not going to cop a bullet or hatchet to the face every other second .

The only time i have shot anyone is when they have shot at me and both times i layed in wait for them to come to me..so it was an easy cap as i waited at the top of a set of stairs and got headshots with a mak. Zeds i dont even bother trying to shoot while they are running, run looking back over your shoulder..turn and shoot when they stop in their attack mode, drag em up a hill so you can cap them while they are walking or get them indoors. Trying to shoot them while they are running is a guessfest :)

Like you said.. I think its more that people dont like getting killed, especially if you are a new respawn with minimal gear. There seems no reason for being shot when you are just strolling up from the coast with a flashlight and a bandage, possibly after waiting 15 minutes to get to a server :) But agreed , bandits are needed for the game to be interesting..otherwise its a damn love fest..with Zeds.

If i lose my mak and pepsi i will be so pissed ! MOTHER OF GOD !!!

i have a feeling this is the way it will go ;)

..Not sure if legit or a trap.. If legit..nice to see the atitude change, bet the guy appreciated it :) Killing everyone is actually a damn lot easier than trying to help ;)

This. Without even thinking twice.

biggest annoyance is that i get ping kicked from NZ and AUS servers but i can pretty much join any American server and get a game, i'm in Brisbane btw. I don't even bother trying the Aussie or NZ servers anymore which is a bummer but wth. Is the ping kick have to be so low that it does not let Aussie players on ? Thats with Telstra cable broadband and my ping is generally 220. Never noticed any lag when playing on the American servers and running with overseas players..heck i can even get on the brazil server or some of the UK ones and have no drama.[/align] Whats with the Ami bashing anyway ?

I dont have that many lighters and no matches..and i smoke. In an apocalypse if you come to my house you will be relying on the toaster or the oven ;) I never server hop and generally find matches within the first 20 minutes of a new spawn. Don't rely on those two locations all the time..there is a lot more places where matches will spawn.

DDos Attack Out of interest..what info ??

..just steal her beans and shoot her in the face ;)

everyone stay the fuck away from WoRtEx..if you see a guy crawling along the floor at the 7-11 looking around weirdly..gtfo!

When i get bored i bomb cherno or electro with flares than see how long it takes the snipers to find me and pick me off. Once they reveal their location i will grab a train of zeds and head directly for them :) makes for amusing night time fun. Some of those snipers are damn shocking shots too. Running down the road shooting the zombie caller into the air also sounds amusing..wanna hook up ? You can be the annoying shooter and i will be the annoying light bringer, together i am sure we can get every zed within a mile on our tail. ps i will be wearing the rainbow shirt and retro wristbands, my allowance could not stretch to a set of pants though so just dont look down when i come wanging down the road ;) [attachment=1701]
