Black mountain can meet all your crumbling masonry needs, visit today.

I'll be very disappointed if the standalone map is "Chernarus plus." Standalone game should have its own tailor-made map, let Chernarus become a folktale the alpha testers tell around the campfire to the new people.

Hell, I'm running it on a Core2Duo and an 8800 GT, you'll be fine.

Forest, not on the way to anything, avoid obvious landmarks like hilltops, rock formations, water sources. Even so, every camp eventually gets raided.

It's a good starter weapon for silent zombie killing, and unlike the hatchet you don't have to get in zombies melee range. Aim is tricky to learn, ammo doesn't stack, so those are cons. Ammo is retrievable, sort of, so a bit of a plus. Pvp is tough, as you have only about 30m range, and if you miss the reload screws you. So mixed yay/nay. If you've got nothing better, it's not bad for taking down zombies while looking for better weapons.

So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights

If only that roach had a ghillie suit, he might still be alive.

Right now, I'm gonna say sandbags are most dangerous, because I just got killed by some.

So I've had a motorcycle for a few days now and I am loving it. Awesome gas mileage (and even better range when loaded with five jerry cans!), more all-terrain capability than the ATV (I've safely crossed bridges with my motorcycle, can't say the same for the ATV), and still small enough to park under a tree. Bonus: If it rolls over I can still hop on and it rights itself. And the speed, did I mention the speed? 100+kph on the downhills. WOOHOO! How much do I love the motorcycle? On one of the aforementioned downhills along the northern edge of the map I lost control of it and was flung to my death (side note: do helmet laws still exist in the zombie apocalypse? Should they?). After I respawned, what did I do? Yep, I ran straight back to the northern edge of the map and recovered my precious motorcycle. I was low on blood as I was dying of thirst, but blood be damned, I had my motorcycle back. So how much do you love the motorcycle?

Motorcycle Song

So I was making a fuel run on my motorcycle last night and I noticed something funky. I drove up to a fuel tank faster than the nearby zombies could spawn, and once I was close enough to a specific point the zombies were just stuck in one place, cycling through different models (farmer, mechanic, suit, hoppers, etc.) It looked like I had managed to shut down this particular zombie spawn by getting very close to it very quickly. Has anyone else noticed this? Do you think with enough players rushing enough spawn points, a small area could be secured, at least temporarily?

If I understand you correctly, when I see the zombie models cycling rapidly in one spot, they are actually teleporting one after another into the surrounding area?

Instead of achievements, how about just a stats recap on the "you are dead" screen. Stuff like total active survival time (time logged in and surviving), kilometers walked, driven, etc., diet (number of meals and type), acquisitions (loot found and type), weapons found, shots fired, hit percentage, and any other stats related to your character's brief life in Chernarus. No awards or medals or cookies or what not, just the facts of your survivor's life.

Tents in the wilderness are my resupply points. The map is only so big, and with enough patience you can find a lot of camps.

Gun is impressive, but now Minsc leads. Swords for everyone!

Same here, the only sniper I've ever found at a spawn is the CZ550. It's actually easier to just raid camps for sniper rifles.

They have five general item slots only. No weapons, no backpacks. I fill mine with jerry cans for extended range.

Just had my divine intervention moment tonight. I was making a fuel run to the Krasnostav airfield at night. It was a low pop server and I had on my NVG's, so I felt safe and got sloppy. Didn't check the field with binos, just cruised up to the ATC on my motorcycle. At first I think I see a crawling zombie spawn at the base of the ATC, when suddenly it erupts in puffs of smoke and bullets whizz by me. Holy shit, I think, that's no zombie, that's a player! I frantically make a u-turn, mashing shift and w for speed, as bullets continue to impact around me. I keep hearing them as I speed away down the airstrip, the guy must have fired an entire magazine at me, maybe two. I think it was some kind of SD weapon, hardly made any noise. Somehow, through absolutely no skill on my part, I speed off into the night without a scratch. Motorcycle was untouched as well. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Sorry, I can't help you right now, I'm too busy wandering the North and raiding all the camps.

No music for me.

I'll have whatever I find in your tent.

Boat in a pond, the ultimate in vehicle theft protection.

It works like a drug, you're constantly chasing the next high.
