Easiest way to get one down? Wait for the pilot to get careless and crash it. Both times I've seen a Huey in this game ended with it crashing (once in the water, the second time in Cherno).

I got hit with a server restart this weekend right after looting NWAF. Just cleared the north square hangers and was headed back south when the server reset. Unfortunately, my shitty luck prevents me from getting anything other than an M9 SD and some STANAG rounds in TWO trips to NWAF. <_<

Wow...whole lotta mad in these responses. 110 kills is a 110 kills. Unless he's ghosting or hacking, that's an impressive feat and you sir, deserve my beans.

I was getting those real bad at Balota airfield last night. Thought it might be my graphics card overheating at first, but it always did it the first time I ran up to Balota. Restart Arma II and it goes away. I'll try the video memory setting if it happens again.

...and i thought my spawn on an island last night was bad. :(

Guilt is the anchor that weighs you down in the sea of life. :) But I did feel bad shooting the guy I found in Rog Por castle. Right as I opened fire on him, he started saluting. Felt like a bit of a turd after that one. lol

I used half a clip from an AK on a guy today that had his back to me in Cherno medical tents. When he didn't go down immediately, I just thought to myself "oh alpha!".

Last bike I had, I tried to take it off some sweet jumps. It did not end well for me or the bike. i hope they're back in the server. Really loved grabbing one from Cap Golova lighthouse.

Find a hatchet Find a gun Grab some beans & a coke Be a scumbag and shoot everything with a pulse Also like to check out the mountain opposite Cap Golova and come in behind Sniper Mountain north of Elektro. Almost always find something of interest along the way.

I've never been infected, but I've found antibiotics several times. Check the army tents at Cherno. I found 2x in one of the medical tents.

and still had a blast. People need to quit Q_Q about everything. Half the excitement was getting back to my body and trying to get my gear back from someone that knew I'd be back for revenge. Kudos to the guys w/ a campsite on Pik Kozlova (even though that's a terrible place to setup a camp), the sniper in Cherno who's a bit of a terrible shot and the guy(s) hiding in the trees next to the chopper crash outside Nadezhdino. This game would be incredibly boring if not for the PvP. BTW, this was on US 241. Nice to find a stable server that doesn't have the incorrect time in DayZCommander as well. :thumbsup:

Wow, that looked exciting. For reals though, how many hours did you camp under that tree for those three kills?

Me and a friend found a flipped ATV this weekend. It had several full jerry cans, engine and fuel parts, etc in storage. I remarked to my friend "hey, wanna go die in a hilarious, Youtube-worthy fashion?" We passed on it...this time.

:thumbsup: for not DCing either. In all the times I died, it never once crossed my mind to Alt F4 to keep my stuff. Maybe because I remember the first rule of DayZ. Don't get attached to your gear. Last week, me and my buddy got capped by a large caliber rifle above Elektro power plant. We both respawned, he found a DInner Bell and I found an revolver and circled around the backside of where we were shot from. Found the same guy prone under a pine tree camping Elektro. My friend shot him twice and the clown DC'd. He hadn't even went and looted our bodies which were lying not 100' from him. Looking back, I should've followed him to another server and finished him off. B)

This is why I always bury people I kill. Don't want a William Munny coming back and killing every last one of us because I didn't bury his friend right.

Wait...what do you mean "you people"? :lol:

The only thing that is going to suck about an Alt+F4 patch is that there won't be any way to quickly disengage from hackers. Other than that, I'll be so glad when the bodies of the people I shoot actually stay around despite their best efforts.

For activating doors, I've found that aiming at the top of the door helps a lot. Also be wary of swinging doors and gates. They're more dangerous than zeds and other players :(

One of my first journeys into Elektro was to the hospital. It was during twilight hours, so I couldn't see very good detail on the ground, but could still see silhouettes against the skyline. I look at the rooftop checking for any movement and see someone walk right off the top roof onto the short roof. I hear a scream and a crunch, so I quickly climbed the ladder. He was in the process of fixing himself but looked like he was in a great deal of pain. I did the humane thing and put him out of his misery w/ my hatchet. Nothing outstanding as far as loot, but a pretty lulz first kill in DayZ.

I had two clowns w/ sniper rifles DC on me tonight. I was north of the north apartments in Cherno when two people ran out of town about 20' from me. I has happy to let them live, but the big sniper rifle on one of their backs was too much temptation. I downed the one w/ the rifle and noticed the other was right next to him. Two follow-up shots and it looked like I was about to be +2 murders/bandit kills, but no bodies to be found. >:(

I had to also copy it into the ArmA II CO/BE folder in my user's AppData folder for it to work. C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye Just copying it into the BattlEye directory in Steam didn't solve the issue.

Few nights ago in the market on the west side of Cherno. I was trying to get out of town and stopped @ the market to grab a few cans of beans. As I check the spawn behind the far back shelves, I see a guy come out of the back store room. I notice he's carrying a long barrel (ended up being a Winchester) and had a pistol in hand. I always shoot anyone carrying a firearm, so I wait for him to check a loot pile. I start shooting w/ my M4 COO, but forgot it's still on semi-auto. After shooting him once and realizing my mistake, I start unloading on the poor bastard. He ended up hitting me once and breaking a leg, so after a shot of morphine, a quick bandage job and a quick check of his loot, I legged it out of Cherno, beans in hand. I felt like a real noob for making such a loud mess. :blush:

You might be able to climb to the 2nd to top story and latch onto the ladder outside of the firehouse. It's usually in the very corner at the top of the stairs.

Do -Carry one morphine, one food, one drink and a couple bandages at all times Don't -Crouch walk near a building ledge and hit the prone button. I realized that last night when my guy did the little running dive animation and took a gainer off a building in Cherno. <_<

Question is irrelevant b/c everyone deserves to die. B)
