i remb the first guy i killed...he was called stephen, if your here stephen im sorry!! xD on a more serious note its a dog eat dog world out there. today i was starting out again after being killed. i was in the electro market, and only had a hatchet. there was a winchester on the floor and as im picking it up i hear footsteps. i look round and a guy is looking at me about 5 metres away. he is well equipped with an ak weapon and pistol and a good back pack. he doesnt shoot me but rather looks aimlessly out the door at a few zeds that are wondering past. i equip my winchester....he does nothing, i load up the slugs...he still does nothing. wondering why he hasnt shot me yet i put a bullet into his face. searching his corpse he gives me everything i need to head north. canteens, meds ,knife, matches, food etc. my survival was increase substantually by his demise. did i feel guilt? no not really. he should of known better when he had alot more to loose than i did. and especially when he caught me essentially with my pants down xD

u sick sick man ><

so i had just logged in. i was in an obscure part of the map in the middle of nowhere, south of Gvozdno as it happened. i had joined quite a low populated server with only about 15 people on it. i was walking less than 2 minutes when i see a boar slain and gutted on the floor. now on full alert i begin scouting the area and decide to check out a deer stand i know is close by. standing on the edge of the forest i get the old binoculars out. what i see is a survivor not near the deer stand but in the open faffing about with a few zeds near a shed. hes well armed with an m16 and is taking the zeds on with it, god knows what he was trying to do. i can see that he is bleeding and stops and starts bandaging after killing the last zed. now is my chance! i raise my m14...it was the first time i was going to use this weapon and i was a good 150-200m away from him so had no idea how this was going to pan out. i fire 2 shots. he keels over face first into the dirt. looting his body a few minutes later i find he has the m16 with underslung grenade launcher with about 7 mags for it a silenced m9 with 5 mags and tons of food and water etc. obviously this guy had been playing for quite a while and it was rather a cruel way for him to meet his end. i take what i need (never had a silenced m9 before so that was nice!, didnt take the m16 as had a bizden in back pack and prefer to keep a low profile) i hide the bodies and the boar! and carry on my endless journey :) moral of this story.....the smallest thing can give your position away and let you down! if he had hidden that boar after gutting it i would of never of been alerted to his presence and he would (probably) still be alive. i would of carried on my merry way not realising there was another survivor in this lonesome part of the map. cover your tracks or risk the wrath of a swift and punishing bullet.

there was 1 raw meat left on it thats why it hadnt vanished :P i didnt say it wasnt going to be easy ;) but when u havnt used a weapon before u enter a realm of the unknown :D

since the weapon dmg adjustment there are lots of weapons now that are totally garbage.

trust me this is nothing compared to the battlelog forums on battlefield 3 :D

almost died? i HAVE died from this crap. a weeks worth on a survivor wasted by a few zeds that wouldnt die...being killed by a guy with a hatchet would be less embarrassing ><

has the zeds health been increased? because just now my survivor which was a week old got ganked by some zeds because they wouldnt die. there was a heli crash site just nw of stary sobor. and cause it was so open decided to do a smash and grab job. i got in pritty close without being detected by the zeds. i fired a shot at the one zed with my revolver tht was standing in my way. i hit it square in the back. i carry on running thinking in a few seconds it will fall over, it doesnt. instead it aggros and attacks me, it takes another 2 shots to bring it down. by now ive pissed off some of his mates. i shoot one before he attacks me hitting it in the chest....nope nothing. then i get globbered by 3 of them whilst im wondering wtf is going on >< and as soon as i hit 9k blood oh look unconscious! this game is so cruel ;(

this has always happened on forums and always will happen xD this one man thread will not change people :P

should of read around the forum a bit first seems there is a few threads about this xD because my survivor had everything he needed like cooked food and canteens i havnt been anywhere near zeds for days xD just typical lol because of the engine mechanics it makes getting multiple hits on a zed quite challenging, especially to not waste that precious ammo

was this yesterday? i was near stary yest when i heard a HUGE battle going on by the military camp. deaths coming up all over the screen and lots of different weapons going off. by the time i had got into a viewing position on the NW hill it had gone silent. but counted like 4 dead bodies in the area, then this guy crawls out from the barn just south of the camp towards a dead survivor annnnnddd thts when i get my m24 out xD there was another dude in the barn 2 who i got like 5 mins later

so i was covering stary sobor tday with mah trusty m24 from the north west hill. i got there just after a big battle had raged as there was at least 4 bodies in the area. suddenly a guy starts crawling out of the barn 2 the south of the tents towards one of the bodies....1 carefully aimed shot and things fall silent again. i carry on watching and then about 2 mins later to my amazement another guy tries the exact same thing. he snuffs it as well. happy with my 2 kills and with other stuff to do i crawl under a bush and log off. this evening i log back on on another server.....but something was wrong....there were markers everywhere! over towns.....and survivors.....and this is at ranges of like 2000m +. after about 20 seconds of being in this dodgy server i hear the crack of a rifle that must of been less than 100m away from me. rather than dying at the hands of some lame ass arrow saying 'hello im here!' in big massive green letters i log off quickly. so i look in the list for a server i normally play on....i log in fine, but now i realise something else is wrong, where has all the scenery gone O_o yep you guessed it i was in the debug zone. was running low on water and food so this was going to be a race against time. after a good 20 min sprint i make it back into the the map and start heading through the forest east of zeleno. now i have a chat/VIOP problem where i cant see what other people put...or so i thought, i havnt seen any1 say anything in all the time ive played. suddenly i see a 'hello' in direct chat :o absolutely scared shitless i look round for the guy...i see nothing, it was quite an open area and there was nothing within 40m of me at all. wondering wtf was going on i carried on unabated to the outskirts of zeleno. after filling up my canteens and cooking some meat i decide to head south to gain access to the center of the map without having to cover lots of open ground. im running for about 10-15 mins hitting a few deer stands on the way when suddenly the forest im in disappears and the graphics load up a green field with a train line next to it. obv im still holding the W key and i run into a freshly rendered heuy. i hear the sound of flies....lots of them and somebody drinking a can of soda. without evening hesitating i open up the menu and abort as fast as i can. i load up on an empty server....after a long wait i spawn in, i look around, still in the same spot i was before. i load up the map, and im just to the east of elektro, back on the coast -.- i leg it to the nearest forest i can and log out, enough adventure for me tday i think ^^

well wouldnt u do the same in thoughs situation? it fine if some1 gets the jump and outsmarts you in normal play but im not dying to things that should not be. i dont kno what was happening in the server i joined with lots of markers but i wasnt going to get shot at by some guy that wouldnt see me in normal play.. and when i got teleported there was no doubting it was a hacker messing around, he probs teleported the whole server to that location...but i wasnt about to wait to find out

the reason why the zombie crazy ass running and 'laggy' animations is how there ai works. when they are wondering aimously the server is handling there ai. when u aggro one of em ie...they have detected you and want the munchies...your pc takes over there ai and relys this back to the server. this is to help keep server load down other wise the server would have to do calculation for lots of hungry zeds whilst relying this to other players...slowing down the server in the process.

tht sniper couldnt of picked a more worse spot if he tried tbh... ^^

ive been waiting for a game like this for a long time, and it hasnt disappointed :) welcome to hell :P

zed aggro can be dodgy at times. once i had a zed literally walk over the top of me whilst i was prone, another time i aggroed one when i was prone from a good 10m away -.-. both of them in tall grass

im pritty much forced to KOS because my chat/VOIP doesnt work...so if some1 is screaming friendly at me im not gunna kno -.- thts not necessarily a bad thing though :P stary is an extremely hazadous place to be around and should be treated like NW airfield....shoot first and ask questions later, always. i was hanging round stary earlier when i massive firefight broke out between 2 groups of about 6 people...went on for a good 10 mins. i just sat and watched with my m24 :P

had this happen tday, some nab was running across an open field like 400ms from stary O_o i take aim with my m24, i miss with the first 2 shots and hit him square in the bck with the third....he carrys on running for like 10 metres then drops to the ground...i take another shot to finish the poor soul off hitting him again.....buuuttt no kill and his body disappears like 5 secs later -.- hes probs still screwed though xD al least he will learn next time that running across an open field is a def no no ^^

/facepalm

got the same problem as well :( totally ruins half the gameplay experience =/

i cant hear any1 at all, or see anything being typed in global/direct chat :P so consider ureself half lucky xD

it doesnt work if u dont equip it from your toolkit, takes up the sidearm slot :) my first i remb very well and was one of the few times a game has generally scared the hell out of me. i had spawned just east of cherno (obv i didnt kno at the time) and by the time i had figured out the controls and the basics(i had read up alot beforehand) it was near dusk. i rummaged around in prigorodky for a while and managed to find a revolver O_o (christmas had come early) i was terrible for zombie aggro and had to do alot of running which was in the direction of cherno as it happened xD i lost the zeds and by now it was night time and totally dark. i entered a barn and started rummaging around for stuff. then i heard a whizz of something. totally scared i look round the barn revolver in hand...i see nothing. i carry on rummaging and find a crossbow with bolts! i walk up one side...nothing, i go back down and up the other side... i reach the top...nothing there. i relax a little...i start walking back down the stairs...then this 'thing' lunges at me from fucking nowhere and i hear a whoosh of an axe(god knos how he missed me). I totally crap myself, but instictively fire my revolver. for a split second the whole barn is light up showing a guy wielding a hatchet. before i can do anything the guy swings again and puts his axe through my face and im left with 'you are dead' on the screen, scared shitless and wondering wtf just happened xD no other game will give an experience like that!! <3 obv i realise now the guy had fired a crossbow at me and fail missed me :P god knos where he was hiding cause i rummaged tht barn good and proper but he jumped down on me so somwhere on the 2nd or 3rd level. i didnt play during the night for a good while after i can tell u tht xD love this mod :D

six launcher's ping isnt broke, it just takes time to update all the servers pings :P just give it a minute

having this problem also.....oddly i can hear people and see what people are typing whilst loading, but as soon as i log in it goes all very quiet >< it ruins so much of the immersion =/
