yeah, pretty much

Scouting is proportional to gear. Yesterday, when i still had all my tools and my l85, i scouted for maybe 5 minutes before moving 10 meters (in any somewhat contested area, of course). So, some ghillied dude got me at NWAF, and i noticed how my scouting went to zero for the first four hours on my next character, even after i had all the essentials and an AKM. BTW, being killed on a day 20 character is the best thing that has happened to me. The game became fun agian.

I dunno, i have a feeling that scripters will be scripters, and that the people who haven't actively gone that route already probably won't do it at all. Or?

you're right, don't think twice

I almost exclusively play at night. What's not to love? Zeds don't see you from far away, fewer random pvp kills. It goes back to immersion, i guess. I hate the 3rd person feature and wish it was banned from the game. Crawling in to Stary, hearing the hissing, not being able to see the zeds, and remembering what being scared of the dark actually was keeps me coming back to this game. But seriously, fuck the 360-over-obstacles-god-mode that is 3rd person. Wait, this thread is about darkness. Nevermind.

i have no idea what this means edit: i wasn't being sarcastic. but i'm not sure if you like or hate the engine.

The engine is fantastic. The UI is...well, most of us have forgotten what it was like before we worked it out. You can do a million things - you need a million buttons. The upcoming iphone version should fix that though.

The Enfield is one of the best weapons in the game. Easy to find, easy to use, fantastic damage. People always talk about the loudness, but i've never encountered a situation where that has been an important issue. When is this a huge problem? Zeds? Just run. Other players? Move around.

Just picked up an l85 from a fresh heli-spawn, and i miss my Enfield. So. Much. Damage.

Sweet, i'll check it out. I'm not sure why, but it seems like the advanced settings have been reset for me from time to time. I always turn up video memory to very high, for example, but when i checked it the other day, it was back to medium.

Same here. It's worst at afternoon/twilight, walking in the outer edges of a forest. If i walk straight ahead, the colors change almost every step, especially if there is a slope. But i'm gonna take a wild guess and say that issues like this are not typically quickfixed in a mod. It's fine, though - i hate playing on anything but nighttime servers. Am i seriously the only one?

No issues with the new detection. I aggroed them between the tents in Berezino though. And i only fired my AKM three times! Question: Do the zombies have more hitpoints now? I had too much ammo (aks-74m) and started clearing small towns instead of running around, and several zombies were not one-shot (they bled on the first shot). Before i always felt like any kind of hit would bring them down. If it's new or not, i like it better this way. (Erm...my, new, suckier aim, if it is not part of the update..)
