that was shocking! I had expected a sniper to take you both out before or soon after leaving the hanger, you were in third person limiting your ability to shoot back never the less you had ample oppertunity to shoot back poor show

get frineds on out of game comms then shoot anything else that moves...

go out in the wilderness, with no phone, no first aid or way to heal yourself and shoot yourself in the foot, see how long you live...

3x wasted inventory unless your going to drink it. dew aint shit

ive said it before and im going to say it again, if a crazy axe murderer finds a shiny piece of kit, he will use it to continue his murderous spree. but think of the implications of a solo survivor style player finding a 50 cal! Is he really going to leave it on the ground in aid of fairness and love of one another, keep rolling round with his normal zombie popper and never think of shooting another person. no no no he's probably gonna take it to the nearest hot spot and try grab a murder or two. ppl always think of high end loot in reference to organized groups, they never think how game changing these things are to your avrg solo guy

realism check huge open map; check houses and vegetation to make the map feel real; check loads of infected runing around eating people: che... hey wait a min! thats not real at all!!! i have heard alot of rumblings about batteries, and yes they may add a little realism to nvg use and thermal scopes ect. really tho this is the same thread somone else wrote, maybe a little more words in the middle

lol if ppl actually used the search feature they would know what I ment. this is not the first and unfortunatly it wont be the last time somone starts a new thread because some gear is 'op' if you take all the end game loot out what do you replace it with? if you dont like being sniped by ppl with nvgs a ghillie and a very big gun then dont frequent the same areas. and finally, are there any friendlies in cherno? I need a blood bag.

meh another one of 'those' threads

talk him round, get him back on side, then shoot him.

that would be a hacker my friend. be glad they didnt just up and kill everyone on the server

yeaya, forum double post .... nothing to see here

TBR might have a place for you mate, we are a small but active group. you have a steam name i can add?

crosshair is a server option, more hardcore serv ers dont have the CH enabled along with 3rd person view. I dont know if you could change the texture file and i wouldnt try personally, I like to play in non CH servers because if you should be unforunate enough to have somone get the drop on you it still takes some skill to shoot you down in iron sights.

went to fuel a chopper, (the first and still the only chopper my group has found and fixed) we had put 8 jerry cans in to get it to the refuel point. So I ferry back and to the 50 required jerrycans and fuel the bird, I get the chopper up above the horizon level and start to head out. Theres a forest approching and I just think to myself I'll raise up a few meters so I dont collide with the treetops and I press E instead of Q, tipping the chopper dramatically forward instead of raising up. needless to say the thing goes smashing into the terrain and all I can do is scream 'nooooooooooooooo' I lost a 19day survival attempt... FUCK CHOPPERS :P

A few times I've had my friend shoot me in the face to 'end it all' like the feature but also agree its nothing vital at this point, just another immersive action. Maybe have the option to use a side arm or pull a nade pin dependent on you actually having one in your inventory not sure if you could kill yourself in a clean fashion with a hatchet or crowbar but slitting wrist with a hunting knife could make you bleed out faster.

Arma 2 has a xbox pad control and you cant even begin to control your char in a propper fashion, at best you can drive/ fly with it. shooting a person or zombie with the pad is seriously hard in comparison to the accuracy of a mouse.

I resent the implication Zanice, for your information I was going to yell 'he's coming right for us' in the customary fassion before removing the threat on my life, gawd you people always jump to conclusions

your funny, should be on stage mate.

what you need to do is screem and shout in direct chat 'are there any friendlies in cherno?' if you dont find a friend, you should at least find some fun

first, No sorry, Would you happen to be in Cherno by any chance?

Low res textures are fine, things dont look all that shiney with high res pack anyway. If you have the money and computing power to run it all on full settings then go right ahead, but know there is plenty of fun being had in high and low res while you make up your mind

rocket wants a stand alone from the arma 3 engine but BI are going to want to piggy back sales of arma 3 on dayz sucess, no doubt.

Only on a second read through did I notice this little gem! well said sir, so many 'games' I have considered to be much more than 'just a game.' None more so than DayZ

the only issue here is loot not de-spawning. IMO if somone takes from a loot pile and/ or checks its gear menu it should start a despawn timer of say 5 - 10 mins in which time if the items are not taken they despawn ready for the next loot loading opertunity. It would combat loot cycling because the loot is fresh all the time so you'd get more enjoyment playing the game as it is intended. Also it would serve as a notification of sorts that someone is in the area if all the piles looked stripped of all good items you can bet theres someone close. As it is now these piles can sit around for hours on end and not change. Every 4 hour server restarts are the best way to achive this currently. loot cycling is very boring and you need to drop most of your shit somwhere to be able to do it, but people are still going to do it until loot despawn works.
