i was riding in a chopper with a fella i had been grouping with for a good while and midflight he lagged out and i had to bail, after swimming for 20min and finally hit shore i got struck with every status ailment there is and died, i swam for 20min so i wouldnt lose the 2nd as50 ive ever had(i still havent killed anything with one). i didnt play dayz for over a week after that. edit: forgot to add that i got to my body not long after respawning and it had already been looted, it was left with a patrol pack and a can of beans

i completely disagree, if dayz only allows official servers then we wont get to see awesome mods for it either, and unless this game will be subscription based or they plan to pump out a shitload of dlcs every month then paying hundreds of game moderators instead of letting admins manage servers is gonna drain money real fast. but admins who run official servers should have to answer to official game moderators and not be able to run said servers as hitler ran nazi germany

3 questions: 1. will the game have firearms(or weapons in general)? 2. will you be able to shoot them? 3. will you be able to do so in first person view? if the answer to these questions is yes then the game falls into the fps genre(among others), and my so called argument stands. and authenticity to what? rockets imagination? id like to think he decides that

the only gimp sidearm in the game is the pdw, worst iron sight ever

wow, this thread is thick with elitist douchebaggery, its as if they are all kindergarteners that doesent know any other games than cod. while i do agree that the later cod games suck it really annoys me that people attack the series in general when the first 2 games were awesome in their time, then again an 8yo wouldnt know that so i guess it cant be helped. and crosshairs have been present in pretty much every fps game ever made(lets not forget this includes arma 2, optional or not), i dont see why you would automatically lump people who like/dont mind them together with cod kids when soooooooooooooooo many other games have crosshair too, including the battlefield games wich are hybrids of arcade shooters and combat sims with the former being the dominant part. me, i like crosshairs, ive played almost every fps worth mentioning from wolfenstien 3d and forward(and yes that includes cod1,2,mw1,bo1)and they all had crosshairs, its how fps games have always been for me. so when someone call you cod kid for liking them, i, and i suspect alot of other actual elites, really have to question if the person calling you a kid isnt a kid himself. as far as third person goes i dont mind but it needs to be improved and freelook needs to be disabled in it so you cant look around corners and such.

i joined a server with the welcome message not to touch the admin camp near misty peak, marked with 3 cars parked in a triangle formation, so after a while of playing and getting decent equipment i went up there, looted it and tossed a few grenades to level it, this was an official hive server so it didnt feel right that the admins would get to hoard shit without risk, well i made my way out of there and a short while later i got banned, still got all the gear so it wasnt a loss on my part, rules like that belong on private hive servers.

my best close range pvp round was when i put my mic near the speakers and started blasting out rock and metal continuosly for a good 2h straight in direct chat(and i did that with all ingame sounds off so i gave them a hell of an advantage), on a taviana server i got alot of praise as i ran a taxi service with a chopper i found while playing long tall sally by little richard(the song they play in predator while flying into the jungle). so dont listen to the pricks telling you only trash and kids do this, as long as you do it well and not in side/global chat(if they are available) only people with their heads up their arse are gonna have a problem with it. seeing as they only have to kill you to shut you up so i dont get what their problem is.

now whats wrong with enfield? apart from the sound radius that is.. ive got more pvp kills with it than any other weapon and a few were at 400m+ wich may not be amazing but better than ive done with the ak74 family, m4 family or the m16 family, hell im happy if i get someone at 200m range with only one clip with those weapons.

i turn up the gamma if i need to and im not ashamed of it for 2 reasons, 1. moonless nights are crazy dark, ive never seen that level of darkness outside in real life 2. the green light from nvg gives me a headache after prolonged use so when i find it i just give it away to someone who appreciates it more than me and no im not gonna use chemlights/roadflares/flashlight, im not big on announcing my presence to everyone

it doesent screw up the aim with the scopes, the center of the scope is always the center of the scope, but it screws up the mil dots so if youre fond of the dmr youre gonna have to learn to use it properly again with custom fov

i gave you my beans cause of your avatar

100m you say, youre so full of crap you make the golgothan from Dogma look like a daffodil. no freakin way you are gonna hear someone slicing up a dead animal with a knife from more than 5-7m away unless they start hacking away at the bones

well its not the first time ive gotten killed cause i hit v to vault instead of c to stand up(but it is the only time ive done it in such a manner), and a few times ive died cause i pressed v instead of b while i had binoculars out, wich means you have to watch yourself put away binoculars, ready weapon, vault. holster weapon and take out binoculars again, i did that with a zombie smacking me around once, before i had gotten my binoculars out again after the longass animation i was unconscious and died shortly afterwards. still havent bothered rebinding the vault key though :P

i dont really care about age, ive met players that sounded like they were around 30yo that behaved worse than cod kids, you can hear 20+yo players on unoficial servers with sidechat bitching and whining over having been killed by someone else, making excuses for themselves and whatnot. but i do get annoyed by high pitched voices, mostly cause they all seem to have their microphone volume maxed out so a hair falling to the ground sounds like nuclear explosion to us. its simple, if you can behave you get to play, but dont interpret that as support for profanity filters or something like that, i hate those and you can be a douchebag without having to use foul language just like you can be a nice/decent person and use foul language.

its funny how people use the word realistic when describing the behavior of fictional creatures
