"Bullsh*t, you can be mine." - Maverick, Top Gun

Actually, that came up during an interview-- I believe it was the TotalBuscuit interview. Rocket stated he had only killed 1 individual in cold blood since he began DayZ. Again, if memory serves... I may be wrong on which interview because I'm getting old but it was one of the recent ones.

Hellvern. Watch this video. It's of a guy walking you through right after he spawns in with a fresh survivor. He begins with no gun since it's a current tutorial vid and shows you what he does to deal with the zeds while gearing up in a major city. Give it a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiz9208kRLg&feature=player_embedded

What pastebin link, mate? Wouldn't mind seeing it myself.

Hope nothing serious. Good luck and look forward to seeing ya soon.

Not everyone, sir. It's just that the civilized path can become too steep for some -- especially in times of great crisis. For others, they will overcome any challenge in order to maintain their integrity and honor. Perhaps that is or is part of the experiment?

Sounds like you're missing the beta patch. Either manually download and install beta patch from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php or obtain a loader utility such as Six Launcher http://www.six-updater.net/p/download.html or Dayzcommander http://www.dayzcommander.com/ and have it take care of things like that for you. Be sure to read the New Player stickies-- it covers just about all the questions you've been asking.

*rummage* *rummage* *rummage* Ah there's my satchel charge. *wide eyed and grinning*

Hell I'm also concerned about "Well, what the hell did this do the authenticity of the main product." Perhaps time to do some lurking on the Arma 2 forums and see what the milsim blokes think.

Fantastic.

I was SO there with ya on that one. Had the image in my head and everything. Damn it, I need to find a buddy willing to create a "Kenny" profile and always be on point duty.

You would put it at 4. You have 4 CPU cores which support Hyperthreading- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading That's why it reports itself as 8. However, it's my understanding that Arma 2 has been patched up so that specifying this information is no longer necessary and is autodetected.

Give this video a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiz9208kRLg&feature=player_embedded Be sure to use headphones the flaw of this video is the voice over is too quiet but if you can sort out your soundmixer (turn off 3d effects, etc) you can hear him well enough, and it's a quick starter. Especially because it shows you HOW to avoid the infected after you've been spotted.

It took the Wild West many years to overcome it's moniker. The law still came.

Well look at it this way-- with the nerf to many weapons, especially sidearms, you're going to need all that ammo now. Long live spray and pray?
