AllTheRage DaGrunts and a pal I can't recall... 3 of them traveling together, radar hack + visibility hacks/exploits. On the server right now (as of 2034 CDT)

Dear Admin, Your server is absolutely rife with cheaters. There are too many radar hackers on there to list, but (if you care, and he's not just one of your pals) check your logs for a Carter_d between 2100 and 2200 CDT last night. After he and others teleported in on some friends of mine, killed them, took their vehicle... he and 3 others showed up later (I do not know if the others were just along for the ride or were in fact cheating) - tooelitetobeat was one, the other escapes me. My friends gunned all three of them down, you will see their names in the log as dying. (This was at the edge of the map, southwest of Kamenka) Less than a minute later, Carter_d is back and has teleported in behind Pandemonium, kills him, then kills Tazzman and logs out. We have fun killing the obvious radar hackers that are running us down in the middle of nowhere with low server population, but the tools that simply can't hang without using egregious script hacks are emptying the game of players. Thanks for hosting your server.

Thanks, Cereal... we've been playing on 834 for a month or so and it's definitely home to us... lot of good fights and stuff.

100Mbps DEDICATED connection? You are idiots. That is all.

Didn't even need to fraps anything, since you morons actually got BattleEye script banned from your own server. Players, do yourself a favor and stay away from this server. They are duped to the hilt, spawning stuff, and hilariously getting banned.

Yes, camo clothing is legit. Well done, Poirot.

Because he's super cool, and you would otherwise not KNOW that.

Interesting ballistics visuals for those interested: However, does anyone else find it odd that we spawn "unarmed" because "not many people have guns" (which is hilarious, especially people who've survived apparently WEEKS after this outbreak) but we all now spawn with "ballistic armor"? I don't mind the nerfs THAT bad, but if we're talking realism here, let's go with more melee weapons (improvised or otherwise), and so far I am 0 for 20 or so on trying to make one-shot headshots with a Makarov... is that expected behavior post-nerf? I KNOW I am making the headshots, and they are not dying. (At least, I am seeing the blood spat on their dome).

I think you should start with no legs and have to crawl to a hospital and find ultra-rare spawn prosthetic limbs. And when I say "you", I mean that directly and not collectively.

With the stealth-nerf of pistols in the Arma2 engine itself, could we get the hatchet moved to secondary slot (or even just the option to go primary or secondary with it) and perhaps a rarer spawning Fireman's and/or Woodcutter's axe that does more damage and most importantly has a longer reach? Really dig the melee options for the stealth and visceral nature.

Sorry, newb'd it up. Maybe an admin will move it.

That assumes you truly did "unload an entire clip" and that all of those shots actually hit. In every online game since dial up, these stories tend to be heat of the moment horror tales... and upon further investigation (demo, other players side of it) it was REALLY 3 shots fired, and only 1 hit. 7 shots of 1911, all to the chest, still kill a player.

Wow, sounds like a great group. Do you play Pokemon if your parents don't catch you staying up to late? (j/k, j/k)

I have run all three, and currently run Mumble and Ventrilo. I only keep the Vent server up because my mother in law uses it in Minecraft and I don't feel like switching over. I have 10 to 25 people in Mumble at all hours, and no hit on my connection at home (15/15 fiber) Mumble is simply the better choice because it's open source, though you might have to use your brain a bit since the options it gives you are fairly robust.

I've been in his van, he's the real deal.

Because it's more important to make the game harder for players than it is to focus on the core game-breaking bugs like items in tents disappearing.

No, tents are one of the buggiest things in the game. No one took your groups stuff twice, the game ate it.

Notice all of the military posts? It shouldn't be SUPER difficult to extrapolate from there where all of the military hardware comes from... Just because you find a gun in a house doesn't mean it belonged to the home owner... the condition of the world seems to imply that some time has passed since the catastrophe.

Super simple fix for ALT-F4/Server Hopping/Farming: 1. You institute MMO style log-outs (which were implemented decades ago for the exact same reason), it takes 30-60 seconds to log out. 2. ALT-F4/Otherwise severing your connection results in your character/avatar persisting in the world for 30-60 seconds. Yeah, this means if you disco legitimately you may die. Get a better connection, buy a helmet. 3. Implement a delay on seeing/interacting with items when you log in... i.e., if you log on to a server, you cannot pick anything up for 120 seconds (just an example). Now a server hopper has to wait to see items, and wait to log out with them. Bango.

Except for the part where Rocket said it's not a game at all... more of an anti-game, I believe was the quote....

Uhhh... actually, the M9 is EXACTLY a military side arm... it's the military spec of the Beretta 92F/92FS.... And if by "used by them sometimes" you mean the primary sidearm of the United States Armed Forces since 1990 then okay =(

The biggest problem with sounds is that Winston Zedamore immediately and unerringly locks onto the source of the sound regardless of situational factors. As quiet as it is in game (death of industry, no cars, etc) you'd be able to hear a .22 LR being fired in Cherno from Elektro... I think it'd be less cartoony if Zed and pals would be alerted by sounds, i.e., the first gunshot or two... head for it, and then lock on to whatever they happen to see on the way or at the perceived source of the sound. As it is, they should be flipping out on the Churches every 15 minutes or so, because those are LOUD. Regardless of EVERYTHING else, the Enfield is absolutely absurd. I own one. Yes, it's loud. The problem is, all of the 7.62x51s and 7.62x54Rs (At least the SVD) are as loud or louder. And the M249 fires 5.56x45, yet it is as loud as the 7.62x51 LMGs? It's the exact same round as the M16/M4s, they will even accept STANAGs IRL.

That stall speed is SICK... +1 for Colt.

This OP just got derp all over me... can I get a towel please?
