Nevermind.

Well you have no proof that shows you didn't hack it in yourself, but if they checked the logs and they see that you didn't spawn it, then they have to remove the ban because you can't get banned for using a hacked weapon if you didn't spawn it in yourself. Rocket said so himself.

I usually follow the bandit lifestyle, but it's very specific and I also like to do good deeds while still maintaining some combat action. Counter-sniping is one of them. So you always hear stories about snipers sitting at the hill overlooking Elektro and the smokestacks at Cherno, serving lead dinner to the newly spawned. Well, I don't know too much about counter-sniping, but I can imagine the sniper's habits. They would obviously prefer servers without tracers or nameplates, as well as high-populated ones during daytime. They find it easier to relocate you if you are near a landmark. Any tips from an experienced ArmA 2 vet/smart person in general?

Approach from the north, most people will be approaching from the south and west. You will also be closest to the crashed heli spawn on the airstrip. You can also see down the sides of the east and west walls. Anybody approaching from those directions will have to end up at the wall eventually. Try going there at a nighttime server and placing a map marker at the barracks so that you can find your way in the dark.

Alright guys. Let's try to sort all this out. What exactly happened, and why is everybody so mad at each other?

I'd love to see this turn into a series.

Let me start off by saying that most of what you see here has probably been said already. That is good, in my opinion. It means that many other people want this as well. During every new player video (assuming you've ever seen one), what do you always hear? "Zombies are not the problem, players are." This is a problem. And I don't mean players being deadly, I mean zombies being just nusances instead of real threats. Medical supplies, food, weapons, and more are all a lot more common than they should be. Why would real bandits make themselves easily distinguishable from survivors? The mystery of meeting a new player is not knowing whether or not they are friendly. We need to make the game hard. And I mean REALLY hard. Cans of food and water are everywhere, diseases are nonexistent, everybody is running around with blood bags that magically make you completely healed in seconds, a shot of morphine heals a broken leg instantly, and sniper rifles that can rip a man in half are easy to find if you look in the right places. Seriously, in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, do you honestly expect about 25% of the surviving population to have night vision goggles and ghille suits? We need to make this game a living hell. You should be able to get lonely and need other people close to you, be able to break not only your legs but your arms, wrists, and fingers as well, making shooting a gun or using a tool near impossible. Casts should be needed to fix a broken bone, and it has to be worn for several days. Temperature should be a real problem, it's the coast of a country near Russia, so maybe the farther north you go, the colder the air is? Weight limits should be placed, and the more you hold, the slower you run. You should be forced to take a breather when running for long periods of time, and you should tire faster the more you hold. And most people consider chemlights and flares useless because there's no point in attracting attention. Bicycles should be more common, ATV's and helicopters extremely rare (maybe one found once a month, GLOBALLY) Deer stands should have CZ 550's and Enfields instead of AK-74s and M9s. And why the heck are there so many NATO guns? The setting is considered by many to be an eastern Europe country, so why are there very little soviet guns like the SKS and Mosin Nagat? And those should be considered military grade weapons. Magazines should be found half empty, weapons should need repairs or cleaning or even both.(new barrels, sights, oiling, etc.) Please let me know what you think.

Yes. Just everything you said yes.

Yeah, that would actually be a really good idea. I would have said more, but it would completely match what you said after the first sentence. I agree with Rocket focusing on standalone first. However, just because everybody was complaining about it doesn't mean it's a good reason to side with them. Sure, it sucks being killed by someone who said they were friendly, but when you look at the realism side.... But like someone else said,these could just be part of a "Realistic Difficulty" option. Totally agree with you there. I was thinking maybe you could regain some blood every five to ten minutes, not much, just 20 or so.

I don't subscribe to people who beg for it.

I think I might be able to make us a banner that we could all put in our sigs, but I don't have much skill. We at least need our own signature. Still, this could be as simple as some text like "Proud to be an Enforcer" in the center and some random shit on the edges.

I'm not a server admin myself, but as far as I know, that's not possible. I would ban him.

I'm in bro.

I could use some DMR mags, probably worth about 3 steaks. PM me for details. But if you don't have any, you can have them for free.

Yeah I was worried that I had somehow messed up myself and that comment would have made me look like the biggest idiot of the century. Nothing biting me on the ass so far though.

NWAF? ITS A TRAP!

Pics or it didn't happen.

Maybe he was using an anti-material rifle (something big like an AS50 or an M107) and shot through the tent. Plus, if he already saw you before you hid behind the tent, then all he had to do was fire a few rounds into it. And you can't really report cheaters unless you have real proof (server logs, footage, witnesses, etc.)

Since when are pistols worthless for zombie killing? Both the revolver and the M1911 are somewhat common, and they take out zombies with one shot. Only something like the G17 and Makarov take more than one shot. Plus they're quieter than most primary weapons. And you have to realize that hatchets and crowbars are much bigger than sidearms. Sure, they aren't as big as rifles, but they shouldn't fit in a slot designed for pistols in my opinion.

Facepalm. he wasn't mistaking the ghille suit for the camo, he was mistaking the SOLDIER skin for the camo. They are all very different. And we all noticed how dumb he is, as well as how dumb you are.

So in this video: Someone used satchel charges to blow up a heli crash site. They expected there to be only a smoking crater left, but only the actual crashed heli was destroyed. The loot originally stuck underneath the heli was fine, and more importantly, now reachable. The point of this topic was to see if anybody could confirm/deny this in their own personal experiences. I also want to see if you could do this with a frag grenade or any other type of explosive. Thanks in advance.

This. A million times this. I'm going to use that next time someone says "dunt reed it if u dun car herpity derp derp im so 13371!!1!"

Why do do you have earbuds if you don't have something like an Mp3 player (for when you get lonely/bored)?
