Friend of mine spawned in the debug wilderness, Chernarus is a tow hour run south east.

Five bucks say shoot dead + desync.

An attempt to deflect attention and responsibility from distributing their hacks, thus bricking their members' copies. Nothing new from the hacking community.

You should be able to run ArmA2 on your new console in about 5-10 years time.

I don't get it, you saying if we say please, you'll stop hacking?

Cheaters are mostly sorry they got caught.

Empty tents should delete themselves, we had a few bugged tents go away yesterday.

Not very realistic, can't duct tape a flashlight to any automatic pistol, because of the slide action. If you don't want to chose between a handgun and a flashlight, use the 12 hours of daylight to find a Glock, Remington or a M4A3.

It's not like the dev team was otherwise occupied by bricking hacker copies, oh wait...

1. Winter tyre chains not allowed, go ahead, doesn't apply to pedestrians. 2. Msta that away, three kilometers. 3. Yield bro!

You're performing a community service. :D

If nights were any brighter gammasploiters would go blind or get sunburnt.

Based on the ArmA/DayZ mission design. In DayZ all players start out on the same side, but they are not grouped together, so we're all our own one-man group leaders. On beta-servers noone can read group chat, on regular servers group/command/side and global chat are read by everyone, just different colors. In other ArmA missions, player setup is different. 1-1-A-1: Squad leader 1-1-A-2: 2nd in command 1-1-B-1: Team leader 1-1-B-2: Grenadier 1-1-B-3: Machinegunner 1-1-B-4: Medic 1-1-C-1: Pilot 1-1-C-2: Co-pilot 1-1-C-3: Crew-chief 1-1-C-4: Door-gunner 1-2-A-1: Spotter 1-2-A-2: Sniper Each team can chat/talk inside their own group in group channel. All teamleaders can chat/talk together in command channel. In multiplayer setup/the lobby green chat is the only one available.

-Vehicles spawn different places on the map, search the forum for their specific locations. They are hard to fix up alone. A wheel takes up 6 slots in your inventory and you usually need 4. You also need engine parts and fuel. -Press / to open chat and the keys next to it to chose chat channels. Only use text in side channel(blue). If you're running the beta-patch, side channel might be disabled on the server. Or if you have joined a non-beta server, while running the patch yourself, you wont be able to talk to others. -I run two startup parameters to load up faster. -nosplash(disabled intro screens) and -noisland(just loads up water in the basic menu). You could use -world=empty instead of -noisland.

Believe is a bug related to the newest ArmA beta-patch. Friend of mine got booted joining with the beta-patch, joined without the patch and was ok.

Easiest way is to look for transparent windows or doorways, but a few closed houses still have small entrance areas, where you can find loot just outside the doorstep.

Maybe you could have chosen a less douchy way?

Althought the joke is quite lame, I can't get myself to post anything hateful. :)

I'd say drop into the game with both eyes closed. After your initial shock. Get comfortable with the UI, especially the ear/eye icon. Get comfortable with shooting mechannics. Get comfortable with inventory managment. Learn when to shoot and when not to shoot.

Desktopped.

Been looking for an oppotunity to re-pimp this:

Actually you can. Tab Ctrl-ctrl to lower the rifle, press fire to raise it.

I'm looking forward to ArmA3's smoother movement and I agree that ArmA2's movement is clunky and unforgiving. I've bleed out to a doorway too, then again, doing a 180 turn with a rifle, stretched out prone on the threshold, isn't something you can do in most RL doorways. However I do like what ArmA is trying to do, making the player's body a part of the world. Where you can't stop on a dime and have to recover your aim. Where you can't smoothly slice the pie in a narrow corridor with a Lee Enfield and a bulky backpack. I'll rather accept the bulky movements, than go in the complete opposite direction, where you're just a floating head with a crosshair.
