  1. Day 36... looking down into a small wreck of a village i can see a medic centre, against my better will i know i have to go in and look for some supplies. Fuck ! I have used all of my painkillers and have no bandages or antibiotics left. It is raining and i feel like death warmed up. The last thing i want is to go down there but i must, i have seen a couple of infected wander through the deserted streets and i have no idea if anyone is down there or not. Once again i put my binoculars too my eyes and give all buildings a thorough look over..nothing moves. I have approached slowly from tree to tree and now have a mere thirty metre sprint across open ground to get to the first run down house that will cover me from possible prying eyes within any of the other buildings. Ok..it is now or never, rainsoaked and needing to move before i fall prey to my fastly sapping energy i leave my large backpack behind the tree, shoulder my rifle tightly...clasping my pistol i break cover. Sprinting, the rain beating against me, my heart pounding, my vision clear and focused on my objective.25 metres. My feet are pounding the wet grass and i am moving faster than i feel i ever have before, scanning, always scanning left, right and above in front of me.15 metres. I can see the wall of the house and its broken glass windows in perfect detail, one curtain ripped and flapping slowly in the slight wind. 10 metres. Still no movement from any of the buildings that i have been constantly keeping in mind. 5 metres. I turn quickly and check my six.. suddenly my legs are jelly and i don't understand why i am faltering, they keep moving but i have no control over them, my hand has gone to my chest where it feels i have been hit by a truck, i slam into the concrete wall still running and fall back on my side..looking down i see my chest opened up, blood streaming..everything is fuzzy and grey..then black. Day 0... For an hour i have been on this roof and by using eye in the sky technology i have been able to dominate this whole town. 7 victims in an hour and i have never even played before ! I was told this was something different and would require different skillz when in fact it is childs play. Risk v reward or something..there is no risk...lolz. The last guy seemed like a ninja, flirting from tree to tree and he took forever to get down here, i nearly lost him a couple of times in the rain but he never really had a chance as he would have had to navigate the streets below me eventually, and they only have to turn their back to me once and it is over. I might change out to my pistol for the next one and give him a sporting chance. I do look brilliant in this beanie but i wish it would stop raining so i could see the true colours of my other snappy clothing !
  2. But how am i to admire my clothes you fool ?? And don't be silly and mention the gear screen.
  3. Nice write up :) Hoping that fog gets implemented.
  4. Totally, if it is a shit mod aint nothing gonna save it..*cough* warz* cough* #cashedupandlaughing* ;)
  5. I'll put this here because i put it in another topic but it is more relevant here... It is a weird thing this path to less resistance deal that i have seen thrown about a lot especially in some other topics. 9this one) Take il2 for example. Mil sim still but aviation and more niche than fps..more hardcore as well when you get to a full locked in cockpit no outside view, full engine management..essentially 1st person mode. The game is modded six ways from sunday and ten odd years old, but you never find empty locked in pit servers v full 3dp servers..why is that ? It is the same with FPS games..all seeing eye view gives you all of the advantages, but hardly any choose it in IL2 and the 3dp servers are nowhere near as enjoyable regards a tight core community and skill set, really, no elitism meant in that comment. I can always step straight into a full server of 1st and even have a ton of options on which map, theatre, planeset etc i want because there is so many to choose from. Whereas with DayZ ... although so many seem to want 1st there is sweet fannie adams of them ...with over 4000 servers. Does it say something about the player base and what games they have come from or ..? The dev group needs to bite the bullet one way or another with this thing and then move on happy with their choice.

  7. Modding rocks..what is the only reason you can think of that EA doesn't want bf officially modded ? No money in it. No other reason. Sure DayZ has money..but how many mods in Arma do..fuck all...and how many is there. Shit tons. And how better is the game for it..shit loads. SA will be modded whether official or not :) May take some time but it will happen.

    Mayuyu of the 'stache. She fell..but her musty will be remembered.
  9. I thought you were talking about Orlok having massive potential but being lonely. Or Inception locked up watching anime..maybe a combine of the two ? Inceptima at Orloks swilling away like it's 1999

    Operation Foggy Mountain Talon

    I started off clean shaven and baby like, paragraph two i had the stirrings of preteen bum fluff on my top lip, by the end i was shufffling my beard off my shoes. Ned would have been happy. Would grow again.

    Optimum Numbers for Zombie Survival

    One to two suits me, no confusion then.
  20. Even with the new spawn system it looks like the deathmatch cities are there to stay, and possibly worse than before ? Some more randomness would be nice, and not spawning within 30 seconds of a shop or lootable area would be nicer.
  21. Looks like a break open to my unskilled gun eyes, more than likely of the pew*snap*load*snap*pew brand.
