Thats the end of it, good bye, admins shouldve taken care of this a LONG time ago, no doubt.

@redfield Yes, he was wrong to post on here, i get that, he couldve googled it, i get that... The fact is, while in the wrong place, and not using the proper tools, he still asked a question, which, couldve been awnsered fairly. Instead, you turn it into a fucking war zone. The admins of the forum shouldve closed this thread a LONG time ago. You are wrong, however, about the fact that battleye only bans people who DO use hacks. Trust me, ive seen complete inoccents who get banned... Battleye isnt the only software that does this.. PunkBuster kicks me every time I use FRAPS on Battlefield 1942 and Vietnam, VAC does similar things.. It appears to me that certain programs under certain circumstances can trigger an anti-hack program to activate. I once had a worm on my PC, oddly enough, this virus somehow triggered several anti-hack systems, I still can not figure out why. At any rate, you do not have the right to turn any forum post, regardless of how stupid they are, into a war. Trust me, in the real world, acting like that is an invitation for someone to kick your ass, get out of your house, get out of the garbage can at "work", and take a gander. It is the admin's responsibility to close this thread, and Im suprised they have not done so yet. Oh yes, and if I was your boss, and I saw you sitting on your fat ass, screwing around on the net, posting threads on a forum, disturbing others from their jobs, instead of making him and the company money, or taking out the trash, Id've kicked your ass out to the curb, with not a single dollar to your name.

You sure dont sound like you work at Northrop-Grumman. What do you do there? Take out the trash? Kiss major ass? Dude, I see people get banned for no reason everyday, doesnt matter what game i go on, what anti-hack system, or anything at all. Ive seen all sorts of hacks in DayZ, from weapon hacks, godmode, teleportation, spawn hacks.. Ive even was able to walk into the debug field once due to a hacker on US 594, who, also dropped a bomb with enough power to level a 1km radius circle of land and trees. Ive seen these hackers get banned within a day, which, is cool, although it could be quicker, its still cool, atleast Battleye is cleaning the gene pool. However, I have seen battleye ban completely innocent players, ive seen literal beginners getting banned, people who just bought the game and installed DayZ, rather. Ive seen and been around a lot of people who didnt hack, but got banned. The fact is, it isnt something where, Oh, this person got banned, they must be a hacker.. No, this is something where battleye screwed up. Now I know, for a fact, that, certain scripts can make another player seem like they are the ones hacking, then they get banned almost instantly... I understand where you are coming from, but you obviously could care less about the fact that someone innocent got banned and care more about the fact that they explored hacks, or bots, which CAN be two different things. In the old days of Starsiege: Tribes, mods were abundant, many RPGs as well, instead of clicking away, mining ore, people decided to make a program outside or inside the game which does the clicking for them, a bot. Although this is a sign of laziness, this is in no way a hack. Hacking in starsiege Tribes was similar to what we see in here, someone could execute a script, and see people through walls, or shoot through walls, fly through walls, teleport people, etc. Tribes works in a similar manner with the script execution we see in Arma 2. Now, I will tell you, when playing a game full of hackers, I like to keep a tab on the hacks themselves, so i know what to expect, whose to say these guys didnt do the same thing? Now Im pretty sure that these hack sites are already under the watch of "Big Brother" Battleye, like the 4th link down when you put into google: "Arma 2 hacks".... I am sure that at one point, all of us have looked into a cheat website to get a special weapon in game or a tutorial website showing the ins and outs of a game, or a hack website, that promises the ability to rank up fast and spawn items like a factory on steroids. Some of us may have made accounts to delve into these websites further, some of us may have just done it for the quest of knowledge, others just to screw around, but the 1 or 2% of the population that do this become full blown hackers. To accuse someone of hacking with only the fact that they DO have accounts on hack websites (and i mean hack websites, not bot sites) is niether logical nor ethical. You cant convict someone of murder just because they walked by the house the victim was in... You cant convict someone of anything with only a little tiny bit of circumstantial evidence. These two guys were just walking nearby, they have no DNA in the house, no fingerprints, no recognition of the fact that person died, no recognition of the person themselves, and the lie detectors came back negative for lying... how in the world would you, the prosecuter, be able to stand infront of the jury of 1,090,000 people, and say... "This guy in the corner was near the scene of the crime! He needs to be burnt at the stake for his sins!".... This makes YOU look like a complete asshole and troll... Id emagine that your "boss" at "Northrop-Grumman" would have fun reading this. Go back under the bridge, where you belong, where you will never see anyone because the light of day never reaches you. Trolling posts like this just to get attention will eventually be your doom. It is not right to act like that online, and it sure as hell isnt right to act like that in the real world. If you act like that at work, I wouldnt be suprised if your boss would kick your ass out. You turned this ant hill into a mountain, this guy only asked where he could contact battleye, instead, you turned this into a fucking riot involving a whole different subject than what started this post.

.50 cals can be determined as AMRs, Anti-Material-Rifle, meaning they are powerful enough to damage/disable vehicles... for example, a 12.72mm round of Depleted Uranium is dense enough to go through anything, and I mean ANYTHING. The AS50 and M107 are MORE than powerful enough to kill a man in one shot... irl, you shoot a guy with a .50, and there is nothing left, except a big splotch on the wall where his body exploded. If you need proof, go on the net.

I am curious, I have killed 2 guys, one with a gold AKS and AS50 with mags, and the other, well, he dissapeared after i killed him for no apparent reason, i know the AKS is a hacked weapon, but what about the AS50? I asked a friend, and he said that you can get banned by the DayZ staff for having one, not spawning it. He said that everyone was crying about it on the forums, which, as of now, I have not found a single complaint, I guess im here to ask if you can be banned for just having it, and not spawning it.

lol, I have to disagree with this, the night-time lighting is just right. If you ever get a life and go back country camping, hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away from any civilization, when the moon isnt out, you cant see shit. Starlight doesnt help out much either.

The problem is, battleye essentially does exactly the same thing you just said... it blocks/detects certain scripts, thats all the game is, a whole bunch of scripts... Maybe in a standalone version they could add something that checks a unique 128-bit encrypted code that is not only unique to a player, but unique for every file. It would have to be soo intense that only a professional hacker/mathematician could figure it out. It would have to scan every file, every code, everything that goes in and out of the game/codes to be able to cease hacking. Hacking is really killing this game, which, is probably why Arma 2 never got really far until this came out. Every time i get killed by the invisible man in a Mk19 Grenade Launcher, get teleported 1000m up, etc, i get a little more PO and demoralized. If there was a way to make a client script that would scan and track anything set onto it by another player, wed be gold, it would prevent the auto kill scripts, the teleportation hacks, etc, but it doesnt stop vehicle/weapon hacks... If I get killed legitly by some one once in a while, i would actually just be PO, but also wanting to get back out there and kill someone who can be killed. 99% of the time, i never catch a name, let alone a screen or video, I never record videos 24/7, if i did, id need a 10 TB hard drive, just 5 hours used up 300 GB in the un-compressed form... to ask for screens is very hard to do, the game should save screens from every player at certain intervals. Your idea for an anti hack system is just as bad, if not worse than BE, especially since every part of the game is based on scripts

It would be interesting if you could find some scrap metal, and maybe a MIG welder, or even plasma/arc if generators are possible, and craft some bicycles, or other rare vehicles/equipment. It would be cool to have a set of individual tools for metal working, like tin snips, hammers, forges, etc, and to make items with them. Now with a vehicle, I think it would need a lot of scrap metal, that way, it still retains balance. It would also be interesting if weapons had durability, and you can increase/retain it by cleaning the weapon from time to time, or if parts are missing/broke, you can replace them; decreasing would be like, crawling around, getting dirt in it, dropping it, firing it, etc.

yeah, .45 ACP can tear limbs off.. I can understand how a 7.62mm from an AK-47 could knock you down in one shot, i mean, the damage it leaves, its just massive. A lot of the weapons/ammunition in game causes significant damage to people/animals... although, we are talking about things that are already dead, or mindless, so why would they care if they have a hole the size of a basket ball where there stomach is, or the fact you just blew off their arm with a 1911. I assume the 9x18mm in a makarov does significantly less damage than a .45 ACP or 7.62mm, that being said, I think the damage the weapons produce is spot on, however, in PVP, it could be more considering you are not mindless nor dead.

Same on US 594, albeit somewhat differently, they teleported us to the top of a building, then made us all fall off... then shot the ones who survived the 100m fall.. it happened a second time, and i caught a name, Vlad the Implyer, who had a blue/white face split down the middle, with a covered pickup, which wasnt in game. He teleported us on a street in Chernogorsk and ran us over. There was a few others who were with him, I am not sure of the names, the admin kicked Vlad, and it all stopped. After that, i stole his truck :)

This would make it easier to find camps, plus, having people spread out makes PVP more likely. All in all, BAD IDEA. Also, what if it was an infection that made all the zombies, I dont think itd just be an instant thing (like a nuke) and you had to jump out of the plane, actually, i think the fact that everyone is on the coast would be accurate in something like this, maybe the army thought it was a good idea to ship people out on disinfected ships into a clean area...

Usually, when im out screwing around, i find a couple of vehicles, that being said, most of the time, im either out alone, or, have found a huge cache of vehicles. It would be nice to say, hook a trailer up on a truck and tow the vehicles away, or, maybe tow a boat, even better, link the vehicle up to a helicopter.
