You have such a odd view of KoS'ers. You assume that just because someone wants to kill you then they MUST be bad at the game? That's madness. To me a resh spawn is simply a bandit who hasn't found a weapon yet. In the long long time i've been playing this and the mod, I've had a LOT of encounters with people, either on their own or in groups. Most of the time the person/group have simply waited til our backs were turned before opening fire, or they were just waiting to find weapons. I'm a KoS'er because I want to live. If i see a new spawn 300m+ and he's running the opposite way, then no problem. If I see a guy with a gun running even remotely in my direction then he's going down. End. Of. Story.

Hi guys, I just wanted to chip in as I feel the game, as it always has, is getting a fair old bashing. I'm a long time player - from early mod, to our now fantastic standalone. Yes the game has problems. Yes it's incomplete. Is it one of the best games I,be played in my 30years on this planet? - if not, it's in my top 3. We just have to be patient, guys. Rocket said he'd make a standalone and he did. He said they'd change the inventory system and he did. He said they'd improve the map and they have. It seems everyone has gotten used to the idea that we should have a say in all of this and, for the most part, we should, but Rocket has this, dude. He is going to keep ploughing on to make this game great. Soon there'll be features that add fun far-outweighing the boredom of combat loggers. I mean, all you're really complaint about is that you never got to see in his bag. Everyone loves a mystery box, but it's not worth kworrying about. Relax, enjoy the game, and let Rocket get on with creating one of the best games ever made.

Actually I'm British and pronounce it 'Day-Zee'. The pronunciation in the video is neither 'Zed' or 'Zee'; he said 'Daze a few times', which is wrong. No biggie though. Peace

i looked through the specs and saw no mention of a graphic card. Do you have one already? Also what is the i5 2320 Sandybridge? I've got the 2500K sandybridge. Weird that it said its max turbo frequency was 3.3GHz too, i'm guessing that one's not unlocked. 4GB of RAM is a bit sub-par these days seeing as 8GB performance ram (1600MHz+) is only £35/$60. As always for the money you could build a better. It doesn't take much work to put everythin together and you end up with a computer you know. You must have someone who can help you piece one together surely?

the laser marker is awesome. It's a rangefinder with thermal and night vision. How could you not love it? bit of slower swap-to than binocs or NVG's but definitely worth it. Peace

don't listen to the intel haters, they're only annoyed because amd is garbage these days. Then again, you get what you pay for. Your RAM and GFX card will be fine for running the game at 900 resolution (1 up from 720), but your processor isn't the fastest so be wary of how many graphics options you set to normal or low (and options selected with these will be handled by the cpu as opposed to gpu). I've got the i5 2500k @ 4.5 GHz, 8Gb Corsair Vengeance and a 3GB EVGA nVidia GT 660ti SC. At 1080 resolution with everything up i sit at 60fps always..... until i hit cherno that is. It always drops about 10-30 fps (depending on server) when i nit the big city. Anyway, your new system looks ok, so you shoule be fine to play on medium - high on a reasonable resolution. Should've gone for the i5 though ;) Peace

OP i can't agree with your title more. 2000 seemed liked a lot at one point, but it's pretty obvious to anyone that it hasn't made a bit of difference. Even looking at Rockets own 'banned members' thread that he never expected hacking to be as big a problem as it was. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do because the majority of members of the forum love to say '' it's a free mod asshole, if you don't like it then leave''. It's really sad. I loved this game for the scale and survival aspect, but all the hacking has turned it in to Cherno deathmatch. I'm not convinced that the standalone is gonna be much different. Until we're told what anti-cheat system rocket's implementing i'm not shelling out another penny or even entertaining the idea of paying for standalone. Peace OP

How can you know where the camp is, but not if it's accessible?

Not always true, Had a friend who we talked in to buying it. He bought the non-steam one from bistudio and the first time he ran the game (20mins) later he was given the "CD Key in Use" message. Sad, but true. For those cases I suspect either someone hacked the original cd key list or someone on the inside is selling them.

Dude i was exactly the same. My group have played for weeks together and only found 1 vehicle. The server restarted as we were driving away to hide and we completely lost it. I was so disheartened, but today I found 3 vehicles. Couldn't believe it. I think the server i play on just had a full reset or something cause looking in to cherry i can see the bus sitting there and people driving abou on bikes and it's the same in elektro too. Fun times :)

interesting reply cur1er and i think that's what the OP was referring to. I'm 'prett new to the series, but i've seen lots of people using scripts in bids online of arma 2 co op and was told that was allowed. I think what the OP is wondering is if scripting is allowed in arma 2, why is it not allowed in dayz. I'm guessing battleye is the answer though. Can you imagine OP what the game would be like if they allowed scripting in dayz?

Yeah I hear the gunshot ever single time. It's always right behind me +/- degrees and i'd say within a few metres. I've been playing this for months and have been in enough firefights and risky situations to know that these deaths aren't legit. I've changed my character name to have some other ASCii characters in it and it seems to have stopped them teleporting to me.... for now :)

I ususally play on low pop servers, which is probably why I've never been thunderdomed or turned in to an animal, but I've been killed plenty on servers with populations of less than 8 in the past 2-3 days. It's always a sniper rifle that kills me and I usually always see the ghillied owner running past my body as the 'You have Died' screen loads. It's a shame. I used to disagree with the 'This game is unplayable' threads, but now it's getting a bit silly

Nice one. I'm usually in shock that someone who wasn't there a second ago killed me that I don't have time to think about a tactic like this, but I'll try it from now on. Thanks buddy

It doesn't matter if I'm in a tree, at the NWAF int he middle of nowhere or ona server with one other person. I have been teleported to and shot in all these situations seconds after getting in to the game. I even caught one guy (Thomas on DE 1396 or 1386, can't remember) doing it earlier. He tele'd to me at 3 fresh spawns and killed me.
