I just move into spawning range, once they all spawn up, kill them all with the DMR, move in, search and leave.

I run DayZ on my SSD and I get glitches. I've got a Radeon 6850(Not positive, but certainly a 6800 series). Doesn't seem to matter the graphics settings anymore, but I did change monitors and stepped my resolution up a little bit more from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080.

It bothers me that the full length M16 doesn't do more damage. Here is a comparison from my plinking reloads: AR15 20" Hbar : Average 2931.6fps, 1049.1 ft./lbs of muzzle energy AR15 14.5" M4 profile: Average 2686.7fps, 881.2 ft./lbs of muzzle energy. The 20" barrel on the M16 is going to provide more energy to the projectile than the 14.5" barrel. The higher velocity of the 20" barrel is also going to reduce bullet drop over distance. I would really like to see barrel lengths considered as part of the ballistic tables.

Suck it up. Besides, don't you know to not get attached to your gear? For the first time we got a helicopter, got it fully repaired and fueled, parked it near our camp within the map boundaries and the server was permanently shut down. We had 5 tents with decent gear a truck, an off road pickup and the heli. This game is about the experience, not the gear.

The M14-Aimpoint is not entirely realistic to the M14. The M14 is a select-fire weapon capable of fully automatic and semi-automatic, in DayZ it is limited to semi-automatic only. The M14 Aim, uses the conventional wood stock and a 20-round detachable magazine. The DMR uses a variable zoom scope, has the select fire disabled, and is bedded into a specialized synthetic stock. Generally speaking a M14-DMR is one that has been worked on to achieve an increased level of accuracy from the platform. It is fed by a 20 round detachable magazine. There is a big difference between a magazine and a clip, so please get your terminology correct. A clip, is used to store ammunition in preperation for being inserted to the magazine. The magazine stores ammunition in preparation for going into the chamber. An example is the m1 Garand, which is the parent rifle of the m14. The ammunition is stored in a 8 round enbloc clip that is then inserted into the magazine of the rifle. The classic Garand ping, is when the empty clip is ejected from the magazine. M14s, in their iron sight only configuration have a stripper clip guide which allows you to refil your magazine with a stripper clip of 5 rounds. In DayZ, both the M14-Aim and M14DMR cannot be fed by stripper clips due to the optic mount being in the way. Edit: M24 ammunition in DayZ, is 5 rounds of match grade 7.62x51 NATO on a stripper clip, exactly as would be inserted into the stripper clip guide to fill your M14 magazine. I would also like to add that DMR magazine, is incorrectly named, as a DMR is any rifle setup as a Designated Marksmen Rifle. A 20" Hbar AR15/M16 with a high quality optic qualifies as a DMR, the M16-ACOG could also qualify as a DMR. Therefore the DMR should be called M14-DMR and the magazines should be M14 magazines, as the M14 is the only rifle compatible with that magazine pattern.

Our home was on 1182! It was nice that there was rarely any hackers! We just got our first heli and parked it not far from our camp. My wife, myself and a couple others really thought of 1182 as our home. We had a couple ATVs for a while, but scored big finding a repairable chopper in a field. We got it in working order and flew around a bit, but there wasn't enough people online to really utilize it. Sad to see our home go offline, guess we'll have to start a new camp on a new server :( Thanks for the good times while they lasted.

Too bad you can't read, so you shouldn't be suggesting to others that they are unable to. Perhaps if you could read you would notice Arma II is on VR3, and Arma III is on VR4, the next version of the engine. When you go to the car dealership, you don't go and ask for a brand new, two year old model, you buy a brand new current model. There is no logical reason to use a previous version of the engine, as you would be handicapping your potential before you even started.
