FN FAL's? Rare? Takes me an hour max from spawn to find a crashed heli and FN FAL is the most common gun I find in those.

pdw is piece of shit gun

Best way to get geared after spawning, get a axe or pistol or anything, server hop elektro sniping spots -> fully geared in less than 30mins. Every time.

Hehe I had once a flying bus ran into me on the Otmel hill thingy, was just collecting the loot from shooting 3 snipers in the back. I mean seriously they were 3 ghillied snipers with identical loot ( as50, coyote, nvg, rangefinders, and silenced m4) just sitting there right next to eachother tunnelvisioning elektro. Was fun being flown into with a bus, though.

I used to gear up by killing them, now they seem to be so rare :( It was so much fun to kill few of the elektro or cherno campers each time you respawn, because they always camp the same positions, easily sniped out of there with a AKM or enfield.

So how is not PvP survival? At least I find it way more interesting to survive against other players who are not brainless Zeds who run directly at you. If this mod was only about zombie survival - it would suck.

More gun variety, lower droprates for everything, me likes.

Have been playing for over a month now, never found these just got them by killing someone with it. Same with NVG's.

I currently (and every time when possible) use these: Mk mod 0 with 2-3 belts DMR with 2 mags G17 with 3-4 mags and rest bandages 3-4 bottles of water, 4-5 cooked meats and 2 morphine and few bloodbags. e: I play with a team but usually we roam alone or small squads of 2-3

That and the occasional superman-Zeds that fuck your legs up with one hit to your back is the reason I always carry at least two morphine sticks.

Bleh.. I just had 2 Satchels but then a hacker killed everyone on the server, would have loved a trade for a DMR. Oh well

One million dollars

I've noticed the loading times have something to do with the current population of the server and/ or how long has been since the last server restart.

supercool story

If I'd want those items so bad that I would bother doing this thing you are hosting, I would rather walk to the nearest duping tent camp that has more of them than I can fit into my bag.

Trying to hide multiple tents in one place is generally a bad idea. Get few tents in few different sneaky positions. I've had my 2 tents near Novy on a random US server for the past month untouched.

I got shot in a game, off to the forums I go!

My M24 sits alone in my most precious tent. I will be reunited with my gun hopefully someday, but now I just wont risk using it since everyone just Alt+F4's if I wont hit them in the head.

I would place it in a tent next to all the vehicles on the server that is located on the edges of the map to duplicate it because that is fun, right?

Why would it take such a long time to port the mod over to the upgraded ArmA2 engine that is used in ArmA3? Also doubt that Rocket is working on this alone so that would quicken the porting too, and if they plan on releasing it as a standalone it wouldn't be held back by ArmA3's release dates and such.

Agreed, I also prefer DMR to the .50's and SVD but the real downside in using DMR is that it's not a 1hit-kill unless you get them in the head. That basically means you will need to shoot twice in extremely rapid succession to kill a player or watch him Alt+F4 after the first bullet hits. This can get you in trouble because its notable easier at least for me to locate a sniper who shoots twice and not once. Also you can't set the zeroing yourself.

So this happens when you cannot go into "prestige" mode? Because that is good replay value right?

Do it.

And you figured that out how? To my knowledge EU players can play on US servers and US players on EU servers. Did you have a chat with the hackers or did they just tell you their a/s/l?

I hate the arma2 engine but on the other hand love it. In my opinion the relatively slow controls, not being able to jump and slow animations kinda fits into this kind of game. Its also good that for example using rangefinders to check the distance and then switching back to your sniper to shoot takes a good while, which I've grown to like. Also feels more realistic in a way and more immersive that you cannot move like a pro athletic with a machine gun in your backpack.
