Oh also, get the Shooting Range map for ARMA 2. Get very comfortable with the weapons at ranges that you can't zero to, like 250, 325, 450, etc. Need to learn how much to adjust your aim after zeroing.

Get yourself an L85 if you can or at least rangefinders before you attempt any actual counter-sniping. Now if you're just going to hunt down snipers with an AK or something, just remember to take your time and get the headshot otherwise they'll likely alt-f4 at the first hit. Also, loot what you can then hide their damned body.

Probably a limit to how many pieces of 'code' can be in a single post.

Constructive criticism is one thing. I believe that we should be allowed to give that and they acknowledge our concerns and desires. What I have a problem with is people bad-mouthing devs and forum staff about not putting up with their crap. Got an actual problem? Voice it. Find a bug? Report it. Come up with an idea? Got a suggestion forum for that. Ranting and raving that nobody has given you an update about the next patch or hotfix when it's only been 17 days since the last one? No, that's just too much.

Rocket said that he'd like DayZ stand alone to be moddable in parts. A quote went along the lines of: "It seems silly to for a game that was born as a mod not to support mods." New maps will be purchasable, he's confirmed that for sure.

And this is where I facepalm. There's no way in hell that would stand up in court, who the hell are you going to sue? Please don't bother replying, save the energy, I'm done following this thread. This latest hotfix has been out for 17 days. That's just more than 2 weeks. Oh yeah, they've completely forsaken this game! 17 days without a patch and you're complaining about a lack of support?

Sounds like you're set up for night time, but mind, most people playing at night have at least NVGs and may have thermal as well. :P You might find single targets, but taking on a group (while an impressive feat) will likely end with one or two of them dead and you dead. They'll recover their gear, you probably won't. My two cents.

Polling your audience wouldn't give you biased numbers at all, would it? Of course, you know that...

Rocket didn't intentionally release the mod, he posted it on an FTP site for some friends and more people found it and suddenly it was out. Rocket /now/ works for Bohemia as the lead developer for the new DayZ game that's coming out (perhaps you've heard of it?) Before then he was a contract programmer. Yes, I imagine he got a nice signing bonus and such but this mod is not his job.

Mmm, you might be double-tapping the touchpad? My wife used to do that with her headset wire dongle thing on her laptop....

And so you posted because....?

Microsoft sure would punt your ass out. Because they're a company making money. Bohemia Interactive is making money off this mod indirectly so they do get some benefits but you do not see their logos anywhere on any page. There is an ARMA 2 logo because that's what the mod is for, and there's a logo for DayZ. Finally, it's all tied together with "© DayZ 2012-2013 Created by Dean "Rocket" Hall". Rocket, nobody else. You need to understand the idea of a business and a hobby. Right now, this mod is a hobby. It will always be a hobby, worked on by Rocket and Friends until he releases it out to the community to fuck with when he moves most of his attention to the standalone.

Simple steps, have you rebooted your computer? Check your mouse cable and connection? Ensured no debris or anything may have gotten inside your mouse? If none of this works, go to your nearest Best Buy and ask them for a jar of Mouse Tranquilizer, because your mouse might be overreacting. First three are legit, please don't go to Best Buy....

Did you miss the idea that the admins are volunteers? Not getting paid? Bohemia isn't 'their company'. If you submit a ticket to Steam, you're submitting it to somebody who is getting paid to be nice and courteous to you, because you PAID for something and in turn if that Steam employee wants to continue getting paid, he'll be courteous and professional. Neither point excuses people from being rude and negative to forum staff or the developers. ALL of this is the idea behind the Rocket Defense League and the Anti-Rocket Army. So chill your heels, relax, and stop the flame warm.If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything. Even if you want to complain about some aspect of the mod, the forums, or the color of the sky, you can still do it politely and not sound like a 14 year old forum troll.

You're not going to make any progress, nothing productive from threads like this. If you expected anything different you're an idiot. Enjoy the mod or don't, it's your choice. Voice your constructive criticism about the mod, not the development staff, not the moderators, and not other forums posters. I'd expect some level of professionalism from somebody has their BA in Economics and Business. Instead, you sound like a 14 year old forum troll, but you claim to be 33.

Trade was already made.

Maybe you should put your resume in to Bohemia so you can show them all how to do it.

Yeah, working on dogs based on feedback from Gamescom. He's working on the 1.7.3 patch as well. Until the standalone releases in its full form, everyone here is a tester. Potential customers will be 'courted' after that release with marketing and advertisement by Bohemia, not the developers, programmers, and definitely not the volunteer forum staff.

Bohemia Interactive is going to make the money, Rocket is going to get paid for doing the job that they just now hired him to do. The forum staff are also volunteers, not getting paid. And no, nobody takes care of 'potential purchasers'. Money must exchange hands. Right now you and I are testing this mod as volunteers. We have the opportunity to play it before it's release, even better, because of our participation, the mod is going to become a full blown standalone release. Rocket might be stressed but you also have to take into account that he was at GamesCom giving interview, IGN has an interview with him tomorrow (live, I believe). It's not like he's sitting at home twiddling his thumbs. Now please, step away from the keyboard before you hurt yourself with it.

ZOMG! Forum fail, dunno how I fucked up reading that! In that case, yeah. With friends like this who needs enemies?

So this is what..? Yelling at Rocket to give you updates on the next patch?

By this, I believe OP means that he found it legitimately and not in a duper camp or off a dead body. For which I do applaud OP, but seriously, don't make it easy to get killed.

Better scope model? As in the scope looks better or looking through the scope is better?

Reporting froZendayZ as a legit trader. M4A3 for M4A1 SD. Had a bad habit of pointing his damn gun at me but everyone left with what they wanted and no extra holes. +1
