Hit...homerun... And how am i supposed to know the number of a random player or do you just want to dial random numbers of call everyone in the adressbook...just in case the provider station is still working...

There might be a way...pull the plug..ping zero. jk I don't think there is such a tool in the first place and what would it help you? You fake a lower ping but everything including players and zombies lag on your computer and are veeery difficult to hit because your actual ping is still too high. A tip: NEVER EVER download any software anyone here gives you or you find f.e. on youtube. You might find yourself banned because it was a program that stole your ArmA 2 key. Have you tried looking for a server closer to you in case you live in the behind the seven mountains with the seven dwarfs? That might be one case or look if Windows is autodownloading something in the background ( update etc. )

Winging it is different than desperately trying to find a reason for the .50 to exist in the game...most shotgun users would probably melt the lead and make another projectile out of it, maybe with a metal or steel core. If the bullet would hit with the tip it would penetrate but with the side or bottom it would squash and spread it's energy in the impact area.

Actually having to make non perishable food is a good idea for survival situations. Mostwould go for the easy ones while i think cheese is quite time consuming...

That's not from shooting or carrying that thing, must have had not enough sleep. Nothing to do with the weight...at all. Akimbo AS50TWSSMG ftw!!!

You can have if if they add a stamina system.

I choose the lesser evil and would go for either no content or at least fan made but officially approved content. Giving admins too much freedom with modding the servers would end up like it always did in ArmA and like we have now with a lot of servers...you have to get this modpack to play on that server, get that modpack to play on this server etc. Vanilla is the best for everyone. Officially approved content would be released for every server and player so everyone is on the same level and you can play on every server world wide without having to care for mods.

You are right with the bleeding part because blunt attacks won't make you bleed to death and to cause internal bleeding you need some serious beating. A bit of bleeding could happen from scratches and bite wounds though. Thanks to their blood system they fucked up the whole hitpoints and damage system anyways so we have to wait for the SA to see if they did a better job splitting between health, blood and hitpoints.

No levelling please and no optical camouflage through "technology" either. They should just increase the grass render distance and optimize their "grass layer".

If they use the same trick i think they are using to increase performance like in ArmA 3 using camo wouldn't be such a problem anymore. Even with high settings objects seem to be blurred beyond 100-200m. The tricky part for the player is to match the camouflage with the environment since unlike RL the effect of a slight unmatch in color equals a sore thumb in game.

If you find sociable players...On the flipside the campfire will also attract players who love to KoS. There shouldn't be that much players during night time anyway especially when night equipment is harder or impossible to come by.

Shotgun with slugs for large game...pellets in different sizes for small game. It's quite the versatile weapon imo.

That's what i meant. IRL you would also want to place your rifle on the floor instead of carrying it slung across your back because it's quite obstructing. Just place it on the floor and holster your pistol...it's not like you are going to be jumped by a KoSer 24/7. The only difference is that you need longer to grab it with the scroll menu but hey it's a game.

Why shouldn't you be able to hold a rifle in one hand while having a pistol in the other hand? You don't have to carry it in the ready the whole time, just grab it in the middle so it's balanced and keep your hand closed or cradle it in your arm or lean it against or on top of your shoulder are a few examples.

I wasn't pointing out that you shouldn't be able to make and use it. Just that it should have exactly that as one if it's ( few ) disadvantages if you want to use it in a post black powder gun. Using it in a modern weapon will cause a malfunction much faster. Imagine the dirt you have in a blank fire gun and multiply it, you know what i mean.

You even get the hero skin when you hang out with bandits it overrated. Players should show through playing/talking if they mean no harm. It's of course too easy beeing a bandit murderer because you just have to point and shoot. Having to get close to communicate is what makes beeing a hero nice person difficult.

Practically every mission has to be streamlined to work. No supercomputer will run the game if the mission script itself slows down the server and the clients. A clanmate made a streamlined copy of a mission...it ran like a charm. And often enough the provider is the problem, either the system is not strong enough or too many servers run on the same system because the provider wants to maximize his profit. And running low settings on a strong computer might also backfire. GPUs f.e. are optimized to run better at higher settings.

Aaaaah the second i started typing it said "updated answer"

I don't think you could place a city like Moscow or New York over the Chernarus map unless you want to cover the entire map with a city...then again something huge like that would be a great place to explore if everything was enterable. But i would like to have suburbs...how large would that map be? Maybe 30x30km? Double sized Cherno, Elektro and Berezino or at least more dense housing would be nice. But it would still only be a big town or small city in size.

Could be anything from 23-37mm and it's not really portable... :D Does that thing leak or why does the flame come out of the back unless it auto ejects the casing? I wonder how many times you can use it until it blows up in your face.

There are enough 3rd party tools to communicate offline like Steam ( offline message ) or maybe even TS ( afaik it also has a type of offline pop up message or write it down in the channel info ). While an in game solution might be great don't think too narrow minded.

To much to scroll...it should be a hotkey or else you will end up reading your diary while trying to reload your gun ( f.e. if you are using the scroll menu to reload ).

They are already quite left out of the game anyway since they have 1000ms latency to the next major DayZ server.

Wasn't there a portable 20mm rifle around...?

No boost or penalties. It will end up with supermarine elite bandits murderers /KoSers killing you from 1km with the supersonic clap of an overpressured bb gun because they are "pro level" in killing.
