There is youth in this whining. The reason this game is "realistic" is that it doesn't force us, guide us or even try to compel us to team up, although the majority of us run in at least groups of two. If you want zombie WoW, please go agitate for it. I mean, hell, I think we should level up AND BE ABLE TO FORM PARTIES and get quests from quest givers and have HIGH END VS LOW END GEAR AND YOU CAN ONLY SHOOT SOMEONE IF THEY AGREE TO A DUEL. You guys can suck my beans, this game is good because it's raw and let's us decide how to play. I know plenty of people who play peacefully with others, but they do it by grouping up together and never meeting others. :P

I live for moments like those in game, although, honestly I play very differently based on what I have. If I've got some NVGs, supplies and a decent primary... I'm probably going to shoot first. Asking me if I'm friendly in chat is likely to get silence or me running for the hills lol If I have very little then I am much more open to making friends ;]

Just have to say holy crap. Got it in the dead of the night, next thing literally within five seconds someone is running full speed by me, guessing they didn't have any nightvision,.. bring up the thermal and three shots later zombie food. I know I won't get to hold onto it long, but damn is it fun lol Well not so much for my blind victim, but still.

The AKM doesn't need more than three shots to the body I don't think. Full auto is less useful than semi :]

Near Veloba. I have six clips for it :D Yes, for my buddies with nvg it's a great spotting tool. Also the laser makes a fairly accurate crosshair.

m1911 was two shots today for me in the body.

AKM is far more versatile if it comes down to a forced comparison.

A vast improvement damage and range wise over the bizon sd I was using. I unloaded near a full clip on someone with bizon and they didn't die immediately. The l85a2 has been 2-3 low recoil rounds. It's nice to have a similar scout advantage during the day with the thermal as at night with night vision.

My skype email is fergrim@gmail.com someone hit me up so we can get some stuff done :] I'm currently wounded so a bloodbag would be a plus, but i'm not far into this life and I can likely suicide and simply meet you.

replying here so I can find your skype name when I get home from work around 10pm est. I'm pretty new also.

I'm about to head to work but I'll be home and looking to play around 10pm est if you want to PM a skype name. I'm currently in the airfield near balota injured as hell lol so I may be freshly starting at that point. :]

I'm okay with that, my main goal will be to get a blood transfusion, then continue raiding for supplies :] I'm at like 2800 blood on top of that tower, so i might not be able to run out very far without dying. but if I must, i'll simply suicide and start from scratch, only had an hour or so on that guy anyway.

PM me a skype name, i'm trying to find a few people to play with. right now I run with one friend, but when he's not around I have to wait or go it alone :{

Wait.... did I just read... someone thinks people bash CoD because they are BF3 fans? THEY ARE THE SAME FUCKING GAME. Hence my accurate assertion that kiddies demands make all the games the same. Guns should be fair, they should be fun... OOH AND I GET TO LEVEL UP? CLASSES?! UNLOCK WEAPONS?! I bash CoD and BF3 because they aren't fun, they're geared for maximum access so they aren't interesting. Just like cable news, the more people it's trying to please, the more peripheral and irrelevant it becomes. But here's a solid example. The non-realistic insta regen health style gameplay of BOTH games. Just to start. That's a trend that became homogenized once every kid got used to not having to know where a medkit is. And it's not an old trend either, maybe 6-8 years tops, pretty sure it started with Halo 2. Blahhhhh Anyway. Just don't like angrily asked questions that are actually easily researchable. The end. lol His post basically read like this: "MY EXPERT CONCLUSION AFTER STUDYING THE COMPOSITION OF THE MOON FOR 20 MINUTES: ITS DEF CHEESE" And that's all I'm saying lol

CoD IS an EASY to get into game for NEW players. There's nothing wrong with being new or inexperienced and I'm not saying there is. A lot of NEWER/YOUNGER gamers seem to have a set of easy mode expectations for the games they play. And in their feature requests they are asking for the games that they know. This results in a homogenization (this word means "making everything the same") of the art and entertainment form. Not every game needs or wants to attract the entirety of the prepubescent gaming community and their console roots. Some games are purposefully a bit more difficult and exceedingly violent to cater to the middle aged gaming community. MANY games start out much more difficult and true to their premise before they get beaten down and patched to be accessible to anyone. It's complaints from new players that brought WoW from challenging to a hand-held ride to max level. I'd rather that their input be ignored than legitimized. And finally the majority of his complaints weren't about ease of use, they're about it being an Alpha. Which apparently he never got the memo on, nor that it's a mod. So it's an early version of a non-game. All I'm saying is that approaching something new, difficult and slightly broken with a "wtf i can't even do this?!?!" and beginning with a solemn "so i've given this a 20 minute shot"... Well I'm sure he has many younger, less intelligent or perhaps, more compassionate supporters out there. I'm just saying that he came at us with a full case of "I didn't read the fucking manual and I'm mad that I'm not figuring it out right away"

The original poster deserved ALL of the flaming. Rather than asking questions or doing research, he dropped a burning deuce and y'all are still trying to stomp it out. No one thinks they are "cooler" for playing "harder" games...although actually my 9 year old cousin makes fun of my 6 year old cousin for playing easier games. Maybe that describes the age group here. A lot of us are maybe older and have played rougher final versions of games than this game is in alpha. Having to do research and ask questions on the most basic of actions is common. New games like CoD are designed like a damned Disney ride, so we get that you don't understand. But don't go advertising you're moronic lack of understanding as evidence that the game is at fault. Or that the it's the game that is, in fact, stupid.

Again, death isn't a punishment in this game until you obtain something worth losing... May as well find a slower/emptier server and run right into town. Although, if you technically want the best argument.. You should run directly to the nearest town/barn/deerstand. That's faster ;]

same here. Can't connect to servers. It acts like it's about to finish loading but then gives me a black screen with the word "loading" in the center. I let it sit like that for about 20 mins before giving up. Was working fine all day until around 2pm est. No obvious changes and it goes for all servers. Refuses to let me into any server.

Thank you very much Sarlac, I'm extremely excited to meet you whether you give me the weapons "bullets first" or not :] hehe

Playing together immediately will be both fun and rewarding. Seems to me, the more the merrier if they are people you can trust. And you can do terrible things as a duo. Like invite some unsuspecting person to become your third, and then walk them off into the woods like on the sopranos and shoot them in the knees simultaneously ringing a zombie dinner bell. No, but really, that would be mean.

You know, like in WoW? Or is this mechanic not possible to implement? Seems like it would solve a lot of what most players seem to consider unacceptable exploiting (even the people who do it openly admit to feeling this way)

I'm stuck in the south west airport hanger with 1300 blood, I think I'm going unconscious a bit too frequently to make it to a hospital. All I have on me is some ammo and a shitty pistol that I don't intend on using. My feeling is you'll either kill me and take my pistol or hopefully instead bring a blood bag and run around for a bit lol PM me :[

Then, Dawn please, come kill me. I don't wanna hit the respawn button again. :] I have no beans, though I found a pretty nifty glow thing. Also, I could carry your heavy things and be your zombie rodeo clown.

meh, it's the same in every game. Actually running into hackers comprises about 5% of your total experiences, but about 25% of forum bitching thus creating the impression that hacking is more prevalent than it is. In the end, it's up to good server admins laying down the ban hammer to ensure that we run into them as infrequently as possible as many hacks are undetectable by both both anti-cheats and coded exploit blocks.

Sorry, I should have searched for similar threads, but I'm enjoying chatting with you brosephs. :]
