Ok this thread contains two questions. (Obviously) Q 1: I luckily just got an M14 Sniper rifle off of a dude I killed. Now I know it's concidered a sniper rifle, but I looked it up on the weapons comparison table in the wiki. It says it has high damage, moderate recoil, a high rate of fire and it's effective range is only 500 meters(pretty low for a sniper rifle IMO) It's only equipped with a CCO instead of an actual scope. I'm trying my hands at being a sniper so I also have a CZ 550 in my alice pack. So my question is, having never used this weapon, is the m14 geared at being a close quarters weapon as well as capable of long range? Should I get rid of the CZ 550 as a sniper and replace it with and automatic weapon? Or would sticking with a CZ or DMR and the M14 a decent weapon combo for short and long range engagement? Ok that was 2 questions for one topic but oh well, i'm curious. Q 2: Bear traps are supposedly in the new 1.7.2 patch but i've never seen one yet. If they are, has anyone fallen prey to one yet or seen how it works? I ask because I was crawling along the NW side of Stary Sobar, to try and get a decent view of the military tents to check for danger and stuff. Well as I was crawling (it was night time btw) somthing seemed to fly up on my screen and the next thing I know I was dead. I didn't hear any gunfire and as far as I know, when someone shoots you from a distance, there is a distinct cracking noise which I did not hear. Now I know silenced weapons are hard to hear from a distance but I don't think someone with an MP5SD or an 9 Mil SD pistol could actively hit someone crawling in the head from a far enough distance not to hear the suppression. Now before the flaming starts about how snipers are lame and pussies and all that jazz, I don't mean i'm camping outside cherno to pick off helpless survivors running from zeds with out a weapon and such. I carry it around for counter-sniping and to check out high pvp areas and such to try and cover my ass before I go down there and get my ass blown off. To be honest, I have had 1 DMR and 3 CZ's and never fired them once. Had chances to kill several people doing so but let them be. But anyway, feedback would be much appreciated.

You all are argueing points of a moral issue which generally doesn't come to a mutual ground when it all said and done. Some people believe using hacked in items is bad and the others see it as a legit thing, provided it was taken from someone who posessed it before them. I for one don't beleive in using hacked in items, not part of the game but thats just my own opinion. I don't go as far as putting them in the same category as scriptors or dupers or any of the sort, I just say it is morally wrong. Again my own opinion and isn't up for debate. As far as admins, there control over their own server is very limited and shouldn't be that way. They pay for the server, it should be their way or the highway. Yeah there are abusive admins on servers and such, but they are more easily dealt with than a scriptor. An abusive admin is more likely 1 in 1000 as opposed to scriptors which feels more like 1 in 40. As far as duping goes, there isn't a way to track it. It's not easy to tell if something is duped or if it is legit. It's up to that person to decide. Still, duping is wrong, breaks up the status quo of the game but it doesn't necesarily give someone an upper hand. Meaning person A having duped items vs player B non duped items comes down to who has the better gear at the time of the encounter. Each person has the opportunity to find high end gear, so it's up to the player to stay alive long enough to get it.

I was just teleported to Electro which was on fire, and I was turned into a cow. A guy named FUCKYOUNERDS asked if he could milk me. As of right now he is still on the server.

Maybe i'm a noob or something still when it comes to how much a round will inflict damage wise but what should follow two gut shots point blank from a cz 550? A) Death B ) Unconsiousness and/or broken leg C) Guy you shoot keeps shooting at you until you die D) none of the above My guess would be A. Seems logical.......I bet you can't guess which one actually happened.

Yeah I took that into concideration but I don't think two sniper rounds point blank to the stomach, would allow someone to keeps standing let alone finish me off like he did. I mean I've hit someone with the new ballistics damage from 300 meters and farther with the CZ and got one hit kills with it. I was leaning more toward hacker. Which would be the third one i've ran into, and been killed by today. I just wanted to vent and share the misery. :P

About 5 mins ago i was killed by a hacker. I ran into the store in cherno. I was contacted by him via direct chat, he told me to put down my weapon, I ran for cover. He walked up in front of me and insisted i put down my AKM. I put like 7 or 8 shots point blank into his chest, he shoots me a few times with a silenced weapon, and then I die, -22,000 blood. He didn't even start to bleed out. Not sure how you can find out who the perpetrator was but if something is done about it, i would like to be informed.

yeah one hundred percent, the guy was in a ghillie suit, if that helps any....yeah it was just odd how he did the whole thing. I couldn't see him but he said he could see me and he walked right in front of my cross hairs when he revealed himself, with no caution what so ever. Couldn't have been more than 5 feet between us. I mean he just purposely walked into the line of fire like he knew i could't kill him or something.

I've been having problems in berezino. I've been to atleast 10 dif servers and all the same. Not sure why Berezino is broken.

So I join a server just earlier using the remote option. When I spawned, I should have had an M4A3 CCO but instead it looks like an AS50. I press the right click button to bring up the cco but it brings up the AS50 like i'm trying to use iron sites. Well I decide to go into my gear menu so I can drop the AS50 looking M4 and find all kinds of goodies on my person that I didn't have before, i.e. Range Finder, NVGs, GPS, Ghillie Suit, loads of AS50 rounds ect.. In the gear menu it still says I have the M4 so I go ahead and drop it and then the AS50 appeared in my hand. I click out of the menu and use the scope and it works fine. The M4 is also lieing there on the floor as well. So I pick it up and put it in my backpack and log back off. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm sure it will be gone by the time I log back on to another server but I was just curious if the strange bug/glitch has happened to anyone else.

hmm well that sucks a bit, I don't want to be banned for something I didn't do. Would dropping all of this gear remove me as a suspect perhaps?

Yeah, I was trying out the cz 550 and having a terrible time with it. I should probably just stick to close quarters. I was set up in top of a hill where I could see pretty decent all of the major hotspots that are in cherno, i.e both firestations, office building, super market, and church. Tried to snipe a guy at the office building and failed majorly at it and caused quite a bit of noise. I apparently attracted another sniper west of the northern firestation and take a hit. I'm knocked out unconsious still taking fire when I get a message across my screen. No Message Recieved Recieved for 10 seconds.......... This was apparently my fault. I'm using my phone to tether internet to my computer and go figure, I recieve a phone and shuts my internet off. So now I suppose i'm labeled as an alt-F4 shitbag. If you are reading this, (guy who shot me) I apologize, you deserved the kill. It was terrible timing but it happened. Again sorry about that. For a compromise, if you can p.m. and tell me the exact spot, down to the letter, that you killed me, I will log on to a server of your choice and let you shoot me point blank in the face.

I'd beleive you but you would have to tell me exactly where it was at that I should have died in a p.m., as stated previously.

Karma is a killer. It'll always come back to bite you.....always

Lol I assure you its not a trap, he picks the location, I put down all gear, including my back pack and hold nothing but a flashlight. No way for me to pull out a hidden weapon that way. Not even the hatchet cause it would take to long for me to get out anyway and to "load it"

Same here, hope to see some suggestions here soon.

Added, it seems like you have a few canidates already. I've a little bit of military experience if that helps bump up my application :P

I assume you didn't read the last two sentences I wrote. It's an alpha mod and it has a long way to go before it becomes a great piece of art. Right now it's just an outline on a blank canvas (using your art references). It'll be the great when it is fully done. We are just testing it out to see what works and what doesn't and all that. We are doing the creators a favor by playing and giving back constructive feedback whether good or bad.

Very good sir, nice way to exact revenge.

Lol Broken Leg Bandit hmm? Is that by chance your actual game name? I played on a server with someone who had that name and he seemed to die quite often, or perhaps try to respawn to a better location often.

It's some kind of a bug, i'm sure. A friend of mine has the exact same issue where he can do everything else but aim and shoot. Have to solution atm, will update if I find something useful.

Good job, dude. It's nice to hear some good news once in a while, in this crazy fucked Zed infected world we live in. Keep up the good work.

happened to me earlier today, thought I crawled over a bear trap or something

@ Nebo: Nobody is a scrub nub, everyone has their own opinion and and their own preferences as i'm sure you do as well. Well maybe Rainbowkiss boy here is but no one else is. @ Slyder I like your take on things, I suppose I should try getting on larger servers and trying my hand out on the iron sights and run around looking for a fight. All for the sake of practice thought rather than kill to trollollollol. Most everyone one is KoS anyway so I doubt I'd have much problem. :P

I agree that it is an assault rifle, IMO but I was going off of what the wiki had it classed as. The CZ 550 is just what I have one me atm, I'll gladly exhange it for something better but I still have a hard time finding the supposedly moderately rare CZ as it is never mind a DMR or something bigger. I'm not in a group per se but I have one buddy that I like to play with, but I play alot more often than him so I'm usually on my own. I do have a couple of tents on one server but one of them has been either looted or something happened to the items when the server was patched. But the other tent still had all of it's items so I imagine it's been found out :( Is it not a CCO on the top of it or am I mistaken? Looks alot like the real one plus the one on top of the M4. I am the sniper between me and my buddy, to help provide overwatch but as I said earlier, I go at it alone quite often. Just don't have enough buds that play this game sadly. Thanks for all your guys feed back. If I were to drop the M14, what assault rifle would you reccomend me using? I prefer something with a CCO on it as I am still fairly terrible at PvP but if there are better weapons other than the M4A1/M4A3 CCO then i can try to switch.

happened to me as well but i beleive i spawned inside the floor of a red building. I've never been to novy sobar so i'm not sure if there was a building like that but it's only happened once and i couldn't get out
