We were shot at a few times but there was only 3 people online at the time aside from us.

No we landed a few times. You can see in the beginning we didn't have much fuel for it. I didn't want to show the videos of me landing because... lets be honest... I fly like a cow with wings.

Had to use two... but yea... blew up my target... a truck... the overhang it was under and the wall next to it.

This is true... I have heard over vent the punching of the monitor.

I knew I would get a chuckle out of this thread when I came home from work :) Thanks again to Blindingsun for correcting my assumption about the grid coordinates being Lat/Long Vs. Easterly/Northerly.

LOL you cant be serious? Go tell all the sonar techs aboard submarines they can go back to farting in ventilation shafts because the undersea mountain ranges they navigate through dont exist. .

You do know that your fancy grid system was invented by a Frenchman right?

Indeed. Like Blindingsun has shown in his links, the grid numbers are not Lat/Long based but Eastings/Northings.

How did you get "ex marine" from USN?

I served 5 years in the USN. 3 of those years I spent looking at nautical charts and coastal surveys while aboard the USS Chicago with bubbleheads and a few stints with the 7th Fleet on a Destroyer around Guam and the Philippines. And not once in that time did I come across the use of Cartesian Coordinates. Maybe I should play video games more?

I was aware of Cartesian coordinates, I didn't realize thats what the grid system was built around.

This reminds me of the movie Idiocracy... do I sound pompus and faggy too?

I get the grid system. Its how they are read via GPS unit.

The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, IMO(International Maritime Organization)... and N.A.S.A. disagrees with you. http://www.amver.com/imostandard.asp

I try to follow those rules too... but in a group it gets a little hecktec at times. Is lloydt your in game name?

Found a M4A1 there once... the rest of the time it has been just trash.

I usually stick to the wooded areas when I am alone which I have grown to appreciate. Not having to worry about other people attracting unwanted attention is my main issue. When I play, its stealth all the way. I like to lurk, and when I do see other players it gives me a chance to watch their movements and actions to see if they are a threat or not. When playing in a large group, if you dont have a common interest or goal, you leave yourself out there to be gun downed for another persons careless actions. On the plus side of rolling with other people, you have someone to watch your back. So I guess, when playing alone, I try to avoid contact with other players until I have watched them enough to approach, and when playing with a group, throw caution to the wind and try to avoid being killed. As far as traveling goes, I like the middle of the map. Much more action there. I rarely go to the NW airfield. I hang our alot near Stary Sober, Pusto and Polana.

I was just about to post this... thank you!

Hey I play on 1220! Was it the small blue mystery machine "bus" or the larger commercial style bus?

Earlier in the evening, a friend and I found a disabled truck. We let some other guys know and they headed towards us with supplies to fix it. While we waited someone spawned directly next to my friend and kill him. I had just checked the player list before hand and we had 3 people log in right before he died. Then, the two in the vehicle heading towards our location experience some... technical difficulties and die. Leaving me to exact revenge. Enjoy!

One does not simply walk into Green Mountain.

Provide cover fire for nooblets. Taking out zombies or other snipers while they go prone and wonder wtf is going on.

Start off small, and work your way up. IMO bikes are the funnest vehicles in the game.

Rarely do I stay well geared. I like running headfirst into bad situations so I usually end up back on the coast. I actually went down to the coast one day with a bike for some extreme downhill. Didn't work out too well.
