Dooooood I play on a Private hive, and there's stuff like this. At Balota, there's a damn battle group sitting just off shore.

It comes from moving too fast.

Rooster Teeth video.

Anyone? If so, SOMC General Discussion thread.

Two stories, friendos. Okay, so I was playing on the Survival Ops - Hard Corps Private hive server alone. I was at the NWAF to try and see if I can find one of the new vehicles they added, but to no avail. I moved on, but as I was leaving, I hear a gun shot. Had to be a G36C (legit, it's part of Hard Corps). I proned my way over, until I aggro'd a zed, and I broke into a sprint to lose it. I ran through a pine tree, and then I hear two more shots, and this time two cracks accompanying them as the bullets hit the ground near me. I sight up with my AKS74, and he fires again. I get hit in the shoulder, and go prone. I don't quite know where he is, other than he is in front of me. I fire half my mag into his general direction, then get up. I see 3 zeds sprinting towards someone that's not me. I follow their movement, and bang. I see the guy. He sees me too. I get behind a tree just as two more shots land near me, one grazing my shoulder. I lean out, and clear the rest of my mag. Not enough. I reload, and see he's on the ground, and the zeds are feasting. I drop the zeds, and walk up to his unconscious body. A three round burst to his skull gives me a murder and a death message. I take his GPS, M9 SD, G36, Coyote Backpack, and some more stuff assorted things. Just then, the server restarts....And I was in shock lol. STORY TWO I was playing on Lingor, and night was falling. Eventually found me at an Airbase. I see fire in the distance, and aggro'd zeds, so I follow at a distance. Then, all of a sudden, an M240 opens up on me. I prone, and go into the woods, and bandage my wound from the one time he hit me.I keep going. Eventually, I see it's a crashed chopper. I prone over to it, and fine an AK-74 with 4 mags. It'll have to do. Now, a zed wanders too close to me, and aggro's. I sprint for the triangle shaped hangar things, and go inside one. I find another AK mag in there, and grab it. I go out the other side, and I crouch out the back door. Just then, I see movement. Two guys, both have assault rifles. I crouch by a tree. They stop, and the point man looks at me. I look at him. He was deciding if I was a player or not, and I decided to let him know just what I was by a five round burst to his chest. We all prone out, and the most intense gunfight I've ever had breaks out. I focus on the wounded guy. Half a mag later, and he's dead. I start firing on the guy who's left, and drop him after a mag and a half. I get up to gtfo, and then I hear M240 shots again! I have no idea where they're coming from, but I get hit in the skull and drop like a sack o potatos.

...That was clever!Done and done, sirah.

No pics, but I use a spent .50 Cal shell.

To BingBong and Aloka: You two are awesome. Made an amazing bond, and I would love to do it again. If you're reading this, hit me up via PM's. Anyway, story of my night. I spawned in Kamenka, and I ran to balota. I found an M1014. I made my way down the ladder, and I was staring down the barrel of an M16A2. I prone, and he fires. He misses, but I dont. Guy goes down like a sack o' potatoes. I put a last shot in his skull, get the kill. I trade my shotty for his M16, and move on. I wanted to get to Cherno. Once I got there, I went to the firestation first off to find ammo. I see a guy on the roof, and put two or three rounds down range at him. I think I may have hit him. I heard him call friendly over and over. I trusted him, and said I was coming up. I came up, and he told me how he was pinned down by snipers. We decided to hunt them out. We made conversation for about 10 minutes, then got off the roof. We went to sniper tower, and didnt find anyone. We met some people back at the firestation, one with an Enfield, one with a Winchester. They seemed nice enough, but it was obvious they were on teamspeak. We moved on, and then we heard some shots across the map. we go to investigate the supermarket. I see the winchester guy, and say hi. We exchange in friendly banter, and then I go inside to grab a better bag. As I was putting on my bag, I look up and BANG! Enfield guy pops me in the face. Then, I presume, a shootout ensued. Anyway, that was all I gathered. Again, BingBong, Aloka, if either of you are reading this, hit me up via PM.

I hopped to private hives, so loot spawn, and occasionally dead bodies.

My first night... My friend and I got a ride to Cherno, and found some guns, then ran to the hillside and decided we should look around. We wandered around the outside of Cherno for about 15 minutes, and by then, it was pitch dark. We parked ourselves on a hill, and decided what to do. Just then, a flash, and a gunshot. We looked out over the hill, and I could barely see. I saw a figure with something in his hands. I aimed for center of mass, and fired. He dropped.

He wasn't a hacker. Guy probably just jumped servers, saw you, shot you down.

Title for reference. I always seem to spend nearly half an hour looking for a server, and I wonder why. Why are they all running different versions? Why do I get stuck at the wait for host screen? Why do I get stuck at the waiting for character to create screen? And, why are some servers locked?

We've all heard stories about the Dew, and how it is bad luck, and you should never ever pick them up, right? Well, my friends and I found one and decided: Fuck that! Since I found it, I decided it shall be my drink next time we go to raid a camp. We got in two of our pickups and rode out, two of us going to a camp we found earlier, two of us going to the NW Airfield. I went to the camp. We regrouped just outside Zelenogorsk, and decided to try to find one more camp before we go back. No dice. I drank the Dew. We head back to camp. Now, before I go any further, I have to explain the scale of our camp. 6 tents, all have one or two really good items in them (because I didn't want to have the tents desync from massive amounts of items), and 5 vehicles: One GAZ, two Pickups, a tractor, and a V3S. Our V3S is literally at it's limit on loot. AS50's, MK 48, L85 Ect. Ect. Anyway, when we get back to camp, we notice our V3S is gone. I thought that we should move camp, but no one (myself included) wanted to play anymore, and we decided that we'd get on later. We all logged off, a bit spread out. My three friends decided to get on before me. I was playing Gmod with my friend, and they all got on. I started getting steam messages by the boatload. They were things like: THEY'RE RAIDING! GET ONLINE! I closed Gmod, much to my friend's dismay, and got on DayZ. I was at the camp, and there were a LOT of dead people. Like 10+. My friends had dropped many. I looked around, and saw a dust cloud in the distance, and noticed one of our trucks were missing. I hopped in the other and drove after them. Shortly after I saw them, I heard shots. Had to be SVD Camos. They blew the truck, and killed me. We discovered that they took all the other vehicles, too, and ran down the camp. Ditch the Dew!

TL;DR: Don't be a faggot and read a couple paragraphs[Warned - Ubi]

I can vouch for these guys, legit trades.

Right now, I'm overwatch with my friend and I rock an SVD Camo and an AS50. When I'm part of the fireteam, I move in with a Bizon and a Remington 870. What about you guys?

I'm curious as to how it works when it comes to things that take up more than one spot. If you store a main rotor assembly in your inv/bag, it takes up 6 slots, but does it take up 6 slots in the car?

Das an OLD ass picture, friend.

How many other games have you ever played where hacking can be as blatant as helicopters spawn right in the middle of a population area, and then crash into other people, survive the crash, and spawn another? And, if so, how long is it before the devs step in and do something? Generally not a month. Generally not a WEEK. No one ever gets banned, nothing ever happens to these people, people are suffering, the game is dead in the water, and the devs aren't working on it fast enough. Just...Seriously. Especially when you watch shit like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2y_nG7Q7cQ&feature=g-user-c

I bet you, you have been playing on low pop and night servers. I bet you rarely are in big cities and such on high pop servers.

"It's in alpha"God, really need to cut that shit. If every fucking server has a hacker, someone needs to do something, I don't care who, just get it done.

Not necessarily.My group has two cars that do that, but we just found them.
