I use a joystick/mouse. Too many years flying to use a keyboard. I just imagine i'm in a spitfire --pew pew; pew pew. I know it's wrong.

PR:Arma has a 'display name' key. Range is about 5 meters. So it can be done. Played with one group. We all wore chemlights, worked fairly well.

The last update .7 forced everyone to spawn on the coast; hence, alota spawn campers looking for high-end gear. Lets hope that doesn't happen again. Remember, "THIS IS ARMA!!" [insert Gerard Butler face]. Team up, use comms. Play as a soldier..., cover, bound, overwatch, evade, rally, flank. In a firefight, keep moving --fire/move/fire/move. Moving just a meter between shots makes you a hard target to hit. Reload moving or go prone. The arma mindset is teamwork. Lone wolves don't do well against even a two-man fireteam. UnitedOperations has basic training videos, watch and learn.

Do you in any way regret this mods sudden rise of popularity?
ratszo replied to Goose Springsteen's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This will really boost the arma3 release. The persistant database mode opens up a whole new range for mod makers. Got to be excited for BIS. -
Grouse, Pheasant --have'em pop-up, fly away. Be great shotgun hunting. If you notice, we have the pop-up flutter sound clip in game now.

Played with a group yesterday. We all wore chemlights for quick ID. Worked well.

3rd Person View, why I support it, and why it should stay in game
ratszo replied to tearran's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
To the OP, no one is demanding veteran servers only. This is a strawman arguement. Dayz has brought a huge influx of new people to Arma. I believe, the longer they stay and play, the more 1st person will seem the best way to play PvP. Why? Because no one wants to be killed by way of a lame game feature. Some of us want to make earned kills; But all of us want the other guy to earn his kill --when we're the target. -
I run Steam. The beta installs in the right place. Now you need to launch CO with both dayz and the beta. Here's how i do it: --find the "_runA2CO_beta", copy it; past it in another place; Edit the copy and delete everything. Now you have an empty bat.file. --Open Edit on the empty batch file and paste: --Type your profile name where i got 'Yourname', two places. --Save and launch the game.

Yes, you should be fine. I hope the beta servers patch up so everyone in the server has the fix.

We're gunna need a bigger boat...
ratszo replied to ThatGuy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Very exciting times for Arma. Good PvP netcode [1.60] and a persistent gameworld mode is mind blowing in its posibilities. The Arma3 release may far exceed sales expectations. Can't buy this kind of buzz. Great job! -

Let's see if they can fix DC. If not, acre may be the only option.

Direct Communication Not Working
ratszo replied to br00talbastard's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Comms work in Arma, as they work in all other mods i've played. Dayz is unique, so the bugged comms are unique to Dayz. It's a huge bug..., I'd call it a gamebreaker. Rocket stated, "It is confirmed as an ArmA2 bug with the use of selectPlayer thanks to hard work by Sickboy. Reproduction produced, handed to BIS programmers for inclusion in a patch." So, no fix til a BIS update. We can all hope it comes soon-ish. -
any update with direct comm
ratszo replied to kstone588 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
An addon that has already been discussed to death (use the search feature at the top of the page). There are no plans to add A.C.R.E. or any other addons to DayZ in the near future. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=30&highlight=ACRE And there's no plans to fix DC because it's not in the scope of the mod. So, either a hotfix or a new beta from BIS. -

Dedicated button for "Don`t shoot" sign
ratszo replied to DesertEagle (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Can double-tap 'surrender' and it looks like you're waving both hands over head. -
Questions about pellets and slugs
ratszo replied to tuchmaipp's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You can shoot the M1014 off-line by creating a lan game. From the multiplayer screen click 'new'; create; select Chem map; select 'Armory' --spawn into the Armex arms fair at the NW airbase. -

Forgot to mention, when i spawned in to find my tent gone, my blood count had also reset to max. It was 9000 or so. I'll talk to our server admin about this.
