True man, I love Chernarus. I have spent a ridiculous amount of hours on it. I know a lot of people that dislike Altis, but I think it is pretty solid, plus there would not be a whole lot of work that needed to be done as most buildings are already enterable. I'm pretty confident once they let us start "modding" the game someone will do it.

I get that. I meant pretty much every building, specifically the residential. That second to last screen shot looks like the room has really good scaling.

I think DayZ on Altis would be fun. Incredibly huge map, enterable buildings already, different color palette than Chernarus. Would be fun. Same with Tavi and Namalsk

Sadly, This takes me out of the game the most. I wish they would increase the size of the building so it didn't feel so awkwardly small. Like the rooms in the pictured building, even if it was a school, you could get maybe 4 kids and a teacher in each one. I dunno. It just breaks immersion for me.

Here's mine from many moons ago. (I just realized I've spent almost 3 years playing this game... Lord) http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/21585-first-murder-and-fire-fight/

No problem. Was a good video. Mullraugh, you signature is amazing :)

It's a game. You can shoot whoever you want really. Yes it's lame to shoot bambi's, but still if that's what someone wants to do, it is their time with the game and they can do with it what they please. Its not some deep moral dilemma. OP: Good shootin.

Agreed. Those other players had some incredibly bad situational awareness. Quite embarrassing.

Old camp hunting strats. Go to Kamenka, maybe a bit West of it, head North, roll in the loots. Wonder if that's carried over. Noticed this one was North of Kamenka.

Exactly.

One can only hope this is an option in the future.

Seriously? It's just gear. In an game that's in Alpha currently (as much as I dislike resorting to that), but seriously. Do not get attached to your gear. Think of this as training.

I don't think they changed any buildings tbh. \

I agree, but I also feel that if they did implement that there would be a huge backlash from the more casual (I don't mean that in the typical shit talking manner) players. It is a topic that will continue to be debated by both side. I personally feel that immersion is the biggest draw of this game, so I stick to first person, that and I just don't think the play style in 3rd is that fun.

You sir, are a word-smith.

I don't doubt that. Like you said about Epoch, look at the mod, all the servers that were high pop were the spawn with Gun/Map/Steak/Water/Compass... Personally I would like to see a system like the 3PP mod for ArmA 3 where if you are looking over a wall in 3rd, but your player model couldnt see over it, you client would not display any AI/units until you could see them for real. For the life of me I cannot seem to find it on YT at the moment, but it was pretty slick. Basically, if you couldn't see it in first person, you wouldn't be able to see it in third. In the video he is behind a truck and in 3rd person and the street looks empty. He stands up and now there are AI on the road on the opposite side of the truck. EDIT: I should have looked thru the whole thread. Laziness for the loss. Sorry to repeat the same thing as someone else.

Nah, just go lay in shallow water. Like right off the coast, before you start the swimming animation. Also, Idk if its just melee weapons, but I was totally able to pull the trigger on my shotty when it was under my chin and kill Kurt Cobain myself.

You should at least announce yourself. Poor cars just have people coming up behind them, no words, just start rummaging thru their insides. I don't blame Christine at all.

Got one similar to that once. Guy was moving from the Eastern jail at NEAF to the ATC, I was laying in the grass down by the fence. Popped up and shot both barrels right as he was entering the ATC. Had no idea if I hit him. Took me maybe 3 minutes to go check it out, sure enough there was his dead body just inside the door way. Need to check my video folder when I get home and see if I still have that clip.

I know using -winxp in launch parameters helped me out a decent amount in the last patch, it seems to break it on this current build tho :( I was getting a whopping 2 frames.

Doesn't look like too much of a change. From what I can tell just some changes to the trees/foliage in the area. Looks a bit more natural now. I believe the trees(bushes?) in the bottom left of the last picture are new to the area. I really dig the tweaks they are doing to the map. I already loved Chernarus, but they are making it look a lot more "natural" with each map update.

Undoubtedly.

Looks like a good server to have some adventures, look forward to trying it out.

What Max said. I noticed an increase after upping certain settings. Im still not getting as good as yours :( AMD FX-8350 Black Edition 8-core 4.0GHz ASUS GTX 970 16Gb of (i think) Ballistix RAM So basically the same, my cpu says its a bit faster, but seems to be about the only difference. I get about 15 frames in Elektro/Cherno, 20's in small towns and bit over 30 in wilderness (this is with my scence complexity at 50000 and terrain grid at 25 :( I know the game isn't optimized, but I feel like my PC is not performing as well as it should. Let me know your results :) (thought about overclocking, but I don't wanna break anything lol)

Haha. I was watching it on mute like, man, there should be some music. Then I unmuted it. Perfect.
