considering the scarcity of the rockets and their non-guided nature hitting a chopper wouldn't be very easy and could be costly... However I think it would be good at scaring the piss out of the chopper pilot :D could be wrong, it's been a while since I fired an AT4 in Vanilla ArmA so it might be easier to aim than I thought. From what I remember in ACE though It's not exactly to hit even a stationary target from range.

(removed when I realized the OP was talking about something different)

I know that [Legion] does this I would imagine any clan forming around this game would probably do the same.

heh yeah nice story, but I think you got conned so to speak. More than likely the bandit in the hospital and the sniper were working together. He could spot the fall of the snipers rounds draw survivors in and collect their loot once they're dead. You should ask yourself, how is it you and your friend got killed while the other bandit didn't get a scratch.

So I logged in to the game after installing the update this afternoon. Decided to head to elektro to check things out/grab some supplies. So when I first get there I don't run into many zombies But I could see corpses everywhere so I assumed that people had been killing them). Make my way further into the city. Start running into many more 'live' and 'biting' zombies. Check the School... absolutely No loot apart from a couple bodybags (not even tin cans and whiskey bottles), check the Church, absolutely NO loot, check one of the houses NO loot, Only loot I found was on top of one of the hospital where I collected some much needed medical supplies. all the buildings I mentioned where surrounded with zombies so it's not a general spawning issue. Anyone else experiencing this? This really sux because with the increased zombies and lack of loot you at much greater risk running into a net loss when trying to scavenge.

would have been better if you had a zombie horde chasing you at the time ;)

Well this is going to expound the problem if it's the case. In 1.5.6 if loot wasn't spawning at least they're wouldn't be hardly zombies around as well. But in 1.5.7 if you have to contend with 10 zombies to get into the school and not so much as find even a whiskey bottle things are going to get very bad very quickly.

Was probably a bandit hunting him, "For sport" that or maybe the guy started firing on someone and ended up losing the exchange.

Yeah I don't think I like it. First time it happened to me I was climbing up the hospital ladder and appparantly true the attention of a zombie. So as I reach the top I can hear the zombies beneath me wailing (I can't even see them I can only hear them) To which my character starts freaking out? because zombie 3 stories below me knows I'm on the roof?

I think it was the game being mentioned on Kotaku and other gaming sites that drew in the largest crowd... I know that's what drew my attention to the game.

Yeah I think something is going on. Last night I was in cherno where things seemed to be spawning fine. Got killed by some bandits. spawned near elektro went in to the city. saw maybe 2-3 zombies checked the church, fire station, school, nothing but some Alice packs. Made my way to Cherno zombies everywhere got plenty of loot. So it seems like certain cities aren't spawning zombies like they should. I ran into at least 1-3 survivors at Elektro so I know it's not a lack of players causing them to not spawn. from about 8-11 PM on Chicago 3 server the zombie count never broke 200 despite being full almost all night.

yeah sweet, was wondering if your servers were just smoking from all the gaming press you guys have been getting lately.

At first thought I was going to say that most people are just giant douche's/pricks but then I thought back to my last play session and I'd have to say that it was really about 50/50. Sure I ran across a couple people who would shoot unprovoked trying to take my gear. However, over half the people I ran across last night just seemed more interested in staying alive and avoiding me. Had some uneasy standoff's. Some ending in being helpful to one another, trading food, supplies. Others us just parting ways. What really sticks with you though are the assholes who do shoot first and ask questions later, the ones you always seem to run into when you've gotten a nice haul of gear from hours of stressful looting. All in all, I think this would make for an awesome sociology experiment. Get a bunch of new people in a server. Tell them their goal is just to survive as long as they can. Then watch what happens. Heh, I need to talk to a sociology friend of mine tell him I have an idea for his next research project.
