get a tool kit instead of complaining

So instead of adding a whole loot pile's worth of IDs you want to add a whole loot pile's worth of IDs plus one more? wat

Hold shift while aiming down sights. Holy shit you're fast walking!

"My exploit is realistic and these pictures prove it!" If you don't want to skyline yourself on a roof don't stand/crouch/prone right at the edge dumbass.

He's talking about Chernarus Life or whatever the RPG server is.

I don't know why you want to believe in a conspiracy theory so badly. Anyways, all it is is weapon rebalancing.

How to look over terrain in ArmA2: crouch and look over it How to look over grass in ArmA2: flatten it and look through it How to stop motion sickness in any FPS: Turn off headbob What's wrong with being able to see things you shouldn't be able to without exposing yourself to other players: Do I really have to tell you? Wait I do don't I, from a realism perspective there is no way to look around or over something without exposing yourself in some way, even the tiniest camera is still something that a sharp eye could notice. From a gameplay perspective there is no risk and a lot of reward for exploiting 3rd person. The reason 3rd person is in ArmA in the first place: It's primarily PvE and 3rd person doesn't anything against AI which knows where you are anyways. (even then most groups disable it) Learn to play without your exploits.

I'm surprised at the amount of people that know what they paid for.

hey guys guns are loud

Everyone can hack so why not allow those? lol @ people trying to keep their wall ninja exploit safe. Take off the crutches and start walking you hobbled people.

Everyone has the ability to hack the game, but servers that allow hacks are banned from the hive. Everyone had the ability to set gamma, but that got locked down, same thing with terrain detail.

People aren't moaning that you're doing it wrong, the options were available and you shouldn't be at fault for taking them. The options ever being available in the first place, for hive servers at least, is what's wrong.

Third person (See over/around cover without exposing yourself), nametags (See players hidden in plants/trees, and get their range), and the peripheral system (See players and zombies hidden in plants/trees) are all exploitable. Crosshairs are a crutch and need to be gone anyways, shooting from the hip accurately should be a skill. Shock and horror, the game isn't perfect, that doesn't mean we should give up on it. Also... In game you can lower your weapon to improve agility indoors, try turning around with a long rifle inside a small hallway without lowering or raising it out of the way, you'll get stuck just like in ArmA. In game you can turn your head and see the tree covering your body In game you can turn your head and see the clothes on your body In game you can turn your head and see things around you In game you can flatten grass so you can see past it In game you can lean AROUND things to see past them without exposing yourself too much

The harm in having exploiter friendly mechanics is that people can exploit those mechanics then use the equipment they exploited for to kill other players on a server that doesn't let that happen. exploiter friendly mechanics on a non-hive server is fine, just like hacking and other forms of cheating.

i dont get it do you have a camera floating behind and above your head in real life

Nametags and 3rd person are exploitable crutches, crosshairs are a crutch for people with no spatial sense.

You're right, they are not exploits, but they can be exploited. A Server B regular could hop in Server A, exploit the flawed system, and hop back in Server B nicely geared without putting himself in nearly as much risk.

I think OP's system is the best implementation, but a temporary "Learn Name" action could stand in for a while.

to people who say "WELL IT DOESN"T AFFECT U IF U DONT PLAY ON THOSE SERVERS!!!" Every (official) server is connected by the hive. Player A on Server A that camps on a roof in third person and only shoots people when they aren't looking in his direction can gain equipment that he wouldn't have been able to as easily on Server B, which doesn't allow that shit. He can then go to Server B with his ill-gotten gains and affect that server. Or maybe Player A is camping in a pine tree on Server A, waiting for a name tag to pop up so he can pop out and shoot, same thing. What he did could never happen on Server B, but he can still affect players on Server B with his exploited gains. Get rid of 3rd person, crosshairs, and nametags, let unofficial servers roll with those, but keep them off the main hive where players can exploit them to gain things they never could have otherwise.

"Let's split the community up instead of making part of it uncomfortable for a little while while they adjust!"

It's not too late though, the devs would just have the weather the whining.

People getting used to shit is the only reason there's so much whining, if 3rd person, respawning, crosshairs, or nametags weren't in from the beginning no one would be asking for it now either.

It's called the moon, it reflects sunlight onto the planet. People bitch and moan when the sun goes down and don't wait for the moon to rise.

Wow did no respawns get added? Me and my group didn't notice lol, stop trying to whine so you don't have to play.

zombies need to be stronger but damage was also nerfed vs players and that's not good.
