This will end in tears! Crank your video settings and play in B/W like everyone else (I'm staying natural as to whether this is how the game should be played or not)

This game, sir.... is a simulation. It is the fact you have nothing, the fact that other players are not your friends, and the fact that you... oh wait I just read that last paragraph... Yeah Fuck you too, I don't think this is the game for you. No offence, but you are asking for a different game. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't that much in this game that is "broken" as far as balance goes. There are absolutely a bunch of bugs, but the authenticity is what this game shines in... For example if I were to push you off a small building would you not get hurt? Can you leap over fences while carrying weapons and equipment? If another person chooses to shoot you (and I would completely understand their choice) do you not bleed? I mean this as no offence, but Rocket knows what he's doing, and "feel good" servers would actually break the game. For one it would be boring as hell, but players would grab a bunch of stuff with little risk and then go to hardcore servers to slay people who work for their gear.

You are one in 681,400. I personally don't disconnect, but my characters life is the only thing that matters in this game.

This has been an argument for ALL of ARMA. What you gain in visibility you lose in aiming accuracy not to mention the disorientation when going from 3rd person to down the sights, which means you almost have to re-acquire targets. Vet servers already disable 3rd person cross-hairs meaning that that disorientation is far worse.

I had been playing with a friend of mine, and we were speed looting Cherno. Things actually went really well, we had ourselves more ammo, and medical supplies than we could carry, but between the two of us, only one primary weapon (my friend had it, I had the hatchet for silent zombie kills). So we run out to the field, and its late at night, so we decide to log off and continue our trek north later. That was last night, today I got bored and didn't want to wait for my friend to get on, so I decided that I would be careful and try to find myself a bugger gun. I carefully make my way toward Cherno from the north. I use binoculars to spot the tops of buildings for snipers, I hide in the shadows and effortlessly make my way into town. I find myself a shotgun and a good couple of shells, and a revolver to replace my makrov. I even make it out okay! I log off standing near our meeting spot and feel pretty good... But greed got the best of me, and before long I thought a new backpack, maybe even a tent, would make me look like a BAMF when my friend got back. So I head to some of those high yield apartments next to the hospital. Looking through I actually find the backpack I wanted, and I fill it with way more shotgun shells than I thought I would ever see one more time... I hear footsteps... Somewhere outside... "Who goes there?" I ask in voice chat. Then I get a little cocky and follow up with a "I heeeaaarrr you" Silence, I stay still for a while, then slowly continue looting. Then I hear the footsteps again, after about 3 minutes Slowly moving up the stairs...(baggage problems had me up there longer than I would have liked) I go prone and sit so that when the guy makes his way to the top staircase I can open fire. He wont see me until the last step... He shows his head BANG Tat Tat Tat BANG Tat Tat With that both our characters roll over, I don't get back up, he does. Now I'm thinking I'm really effin' lucky and I re-spawn on the Cherno dock. I think he might have left at least my shotgun, I thought I heard him have some automatic rifle, so it seemed likely. I run full speed, attracting about 6 zombies, thinking that worst case scenario, I kite a little trouble his way. I'm about halfway there and I look behind me and see a guy running with a pistol and a rife. "Whoa I don't want any trouble man" I say. All I had was an ax I frantically grabbed and he was far more armed. He doesn't react so I start to run away BANG I fall over bleeding, but not yet dead. Broken legs. I hear "Who hears who now bitch?" BANG

I like to call this ITEM PURGATORY But seriously, this is my ONLY problem with this game, I can navigate around everything else, I can even deal with glitching into my friends body and killing us both (it was hilarious) But I CANNOT admit to my friend that the CZ he just gave me to back him up with has gone to ITEM PURGATORY

NO With the addition of melee weapons, i dont see why the survivor couldn't have picked up a knife or crowbar. Maybe not a pistol, but something to stop instant death and something to at least make the player feel like he stands a slight chance.
