haha poor helicopter!! Decent video, I enjoyed it

I like this idea, it would be excellent for the standalone, or even a must, and for the mod too actually.

Hahahaha!! Brilliant! I would do the same, or call at stupid hours just for the lols

Every multiplayer game has it's 'party poopers' and to be honest, they need to be there, otherwise people don't learn to deal with it, and move on. But damn his fake voice... so bad. haha.

Also, my first encounter ended with them betraying me and leaving me unconscious in a barn with no zombies around on 160 blood, I would have rather died.

Besides my friends, and one random guy in a ghillie, I have not come across any nice/decent/worth letting live survivor. They have all either shot at me on sight, stole out of my bag and attempted to kill me, or deceived me in some other manner. I usually just avoid people where possible, stay out of towns and do most of my travel in the dark of night. When I have no choice but to confront a player, I do so with caution, scanning 360 before getting close, and letting them know that I have them in my sights but wont shoot unless they give me a good reason to (showing hostility or unpredictability) Sometimes they will freak out and run, which i just keep an eye on them, other times they will attempt to find you and eat all of your beans.

This is why so many people adopt the shoot on sight mentality! and that fake voice is annoying -_- I did laugh at the guy for not shooting him while he had the chance though.

Yeah I believe it is a server ban if the admin finds out, and battleeye will usually globally ban them too. Punch your friend in the face, then tell them that's what they are doing to everyone on every server they join by hacking. Maybe they will grow up and play the game properly. I can understand rage quitting, we all have done it at least once. I think some people forget that it is just a game, and for the sake of fun. If you die, it just means you have more to learn. I know I am still fairly noob at this mod, and ARMA II for that matter. Anyway, I hope your friend doesn't end up hacking, because they will regret it

I've only been ported a couple of times, and once it was on purpose because a hacker teleported everyone onto some island and tried to kill us all. I guess I have been lucky, but when the patch first came out I would port every time I logged in, which didnt really matter because I used to play by myself (until i convinced friends to buy ARMA II)

I get bandages glitching all the time, but that is usually due to lag. Them pine trees are brutal hey, same with proning next to walls. I went from full blood down to 1k once because of proning next to a wall/fence, and I was knocked out the whole time so I couldn't do anything. Sometimes the glitches in this mod can be frustrating, but also amusing at the same time.

I love the idea of this!! If it was situated closer to Australia I would definitely be keen. Kudos to the idea!

I think you really hit the nail on the head with this post, love it! I agree about the needing a canteen to drink, that's a little silly, but I dont know if the ARMA II engine can allow for just scooping up the water. I'm not savy with the engine though, that is more for the developers to look at.

I agree 100% On the other hand, if there wasn't any of those posts, the forum would be fairly dead in comparison, but the quality threads of stories/videos/etc would be much easier to find.

What the hell did I just watch... I will never get that time of my life back :/

Yeah I am still getting the artifacts near balota airstrip and the deer stands across the road, but I think it may have been that I was on a server that wasn't updated yet. Most likely that is the case, I'll check again if I can find a low ping updated server. Also, every time I was logging on (not just me, two of my friends had this happen) I would log in somewhere along the coast, even if I logged out in the middle of the map. Not sure if this is also related to the outdated server as well. But love the update, I wasn't expecting it at all so I was excited to see it up! Just my two cents. EDIT: I did a complete reinstall of the mod via the torrent download, and running the latest beta patch.

Nice!! That's awfully kind of you (being a bandit and all) A lot of people will just shoot whoever, even unarmed. It's sort of low in my opinion. I am not a bandit, but I am still new to the game and finding how I want to play. Personally I feel that each new life will be completely different in where I travel, and whether I shoot on sight or not. But it is a great feeling to find people and interact briefly without the intention of killing one another.

Nice!! I am still yet to get decent gear, I keep going to put my weapon in my bag, and *poof* it disappears every god damn time -__- I am happy with a hatchet anyway, silent kills are better. (plus you can put it on your toolbelt when not in combat) Also, stay away from mountain dew, I keep hearing about it being 'cursed'

Hatchet (axe) > all other weapons, I just love it so much!!

I had this happen to me, mine was caused by extremely low blood level. The only thing that I know of that can fix it is getting a friend to come kill you or do revive you completely

Damn that's a really awesome first day! All I found on my first day was a hatchet, nothing exciting like what you stumbled across! I would go the rest of the game with just a hatchet though, and is so far my favourite weapon (ok I love shotguns too, but they make too much noise)

I made the mistake of picking up a gun and hunkering up in a barn north of Solnichniy (in the are called factory?), and then the second mistake was trusting a player... he shot me from behind when I was killing the zombies coming after us. As a result of this I am unconscious, with 56 blood level and I'm not bleeding. I'm calling out to any kind soul who is nearby, to give me a blood transfusion, I dont have much that is trade worthy, but I am willing to trade a bit of what I have on me. Online right now on NZ 25 Kind regards, Sam

Sorry I had to go out actually. I didn't d/c to stop him killing me/looting, I just panicked and quit the game. I didn't mean to cause such a fuss, as I realise now that this is an issue, before I did not. If it happens again I will be wiser and just let them finish the job, or revive me (whichever they choose) I do agree with Sigouin's point though, it is quite a dick move now that I think about it, but he was a little harsh at first. Apparently it takes longer to die than I originally thought it would :/ It's the price I pay for making a wrong decision.

@dallas, I am about to dehydrate to death anyway, it's probably for the best. Thank you for travelling, but sorry that it will be too late. There's some decent loot in the area though, couldn't hold onto it because my bag was full of empty tin cans to throw at zombies (because that kills them lol)

@sigouin, it's just a game, everyone plays it how they want to, some people qq over it, and others get over it and play. I dont see what's wrong with asking for assistance, people do it in all games, its part of the learning curve in my opinion. I've only played for a couple of days so i'm still learning. If he had have killed me, he could have had my loot, not that i had anything useful. Both the guy that shot me and I were fresh lives, we had nothing of value, so even if he wanted to help me, he couldn't. It happens.

@SiGouin, I understand what you mean, I DID make a mistake, and I will learn from it. In game I am in a state where I cant talk to anyone on the server, and i d/c'd and reconnected to the same server 5 minutes later. I would accept death, embrace it even, but he did not kill me; he shot me once which was possibly an accident due to there being a few zombies in front of me, and now I am in a state where I cant even run into a pack of zombies to kill myself. I would even accept someone executing me so I can at least start fresh and not get into that situation again.
