They are the Barrack 'bin laden' Obama or Anders Breivik of our future. Let us try to make them neither.

You really aren't getting, are you? It isn't about petty or juvenile behaviour. Something that we are all guilty of. It is about exposing children to a game that encourages murder and displays it in bloody, gory detail. It is about the fact that an awful lot of the topics on these forums have adult themes and the use of explicit profanity is unmonitored(rightly so of course) Damn it, how did I end up back on this high horse this morning? ;)

When you drive toward the intersection, look up the hill and spot a really good sniper postition.

The question has to be asked again, and again and again. Why aren't the mods banning these children? Where are the mods right now? We know they are aware of this topic and the several other topics asking for players aged 11-14.

No - this is nothing t do with the language of youth today. I have no real issues with words, as long as they are used in context and not offense. This is about exposing 11-14 year old CHILDREN to the violence and content of this Mod and these forums. the mods should now be aware of who some of the 'children' are - good grief there are several topics asking for 11-14 year clan members with dozens of responders - and I would really like to think that they are taking the appropriate action to remove those users. I know they can re-register but when the moral high ground is being taken by a couple of them already, then surely they should NOT be ignoring the fact that children are using these explicit forums. Now - where is my step ladder - I really need to get off of this high horse.

Spart248. I cut the paragraph and the rest of your laborious argument from my quote because I felt that it did not add any substance to your point. And even though you do put it quite eloquently in your redress, I still stand by that NO 11-14 should be exposed to the themes in this game or on this forum.

Dems is cursed I tells ya.

I'll be looking at some R18 web pages later. Would you want your child exposed to those? I can post the links if you feel comfortable with exposing the children to New experiences. (i won't be linking any web pages)

Piez. Nobody, to this point in this topic had actually mentioned any of your reasons for complaint. We were discussing the appropriateness of children playing a game that is rated 'M 17+' Thank you for tour input though. I am sure it will certainly add some spice to the debate.

It would appear that I am. :)

Zombies - horror - given. Shooting mate in the head, point blank. Being depicted in near photographic, blood spurting, bone crunching detail. Maybe isn't appropriate for an 11 year old. But I am not the parent and there fore unable to comment or judge on specifics. I just know that my 11 wouldn't be playing this, or any other like game.

I'm 44 and have been playing since my Texas ti99-4a in 1981. I think that you'll find the average age for gamers is creeping up into the mid 30s. My missus calls me her loch ness geek.

Rofl on this. Have some beans. :D

But not that difficult when they actually post 'fed up with 16/18+ age limits in clans'. The very reason I asked this question is because there are several on the forum today actively looking for 11-14 year old players.

I believe this happens as you are killed whilst spawning. Could better spawning in a different server, moving away from the spawn area and the camping griefers then log out and back into your favoured server. It would appear you could be the unluckiest spawner (not)alive if you are spawning into several servers and getting this. Maybe I'm wrong for you. I have seen video of this occurrence though. YouTube hunter streamers you'll see it for yourself.

Hmm, short life expectancy could be something to do with him being in town whilst you hide in the woods reaping the benefits. ;)

Isn't this game rated m 17+ Just wondering what type of parent would allow a child to play a video game that depicts war, murder, theft and horror. I wonder where the self righteous mods are now?(pointing no elbows here at all Max).Allowing children to openly post on a forum where language and themes are very often extreme and adult.

I had this issue. Rather than turning your firewall completely off, which is an extraordinary bad idea. Configure it so that arma2 oa and commander have 'Full' access to the interweb thing. This dropped my ping to servers by 50% and more on some. You don't tell us if you are trying local servers either, you should maybe stay close, geographically, to your home for server log ins.

You obviously have no concept of the term medic or hero. Maybe you should change your description to vigilante medics required.

Pine trees with branches all the way to the ground will break LoS with a chasing horde. Just run in and stop. Do not panic they will not see you even if your are stood right next to them. Check out this map http://dayzdb.com/map#3.062.064 when you log in check out the bottom right hand corner of the screen - this will tell you where you are closest to on the map - hopefully a town name. You can sprint into town(be careful if there is a high population) and use broken walls and buildings to break LoS. Buildings that are circles on the map tend to have more than one door - excellent for escaping zeds as they will walk inside the building. Giving you a few seconds to loot anything that is in there. Rinse, die, repeat.

Just leave your partial mags in the backpack til you relog. ;) It is an annoying lack of a game mechanic that doesn't allow mag combining. I would imagine it will be sorted and some suitably long uninterruptible animation added.

Squirrel. You are correct about firing standard rounds in the 's' weapons but this would then render the silencer useless and make the weapon a normalised version until you could replace the silencer. After all, they should not have a finite life. Anyway my two things would be beans and guns. What else do you need in a zed led world? (ok, maybe bikini clad, chainsaw wielding heroines) :P

I would also like an option to play a little golf in game and maybe have a kick around with a footie using the zeds as 'holes'/goals.

I only play at night, without nvg as they are like hen's teeth to none dupers. Playing in the dark just makes the game more spooky. Because of this I do tend to server hop. Never to reloot though. I would be happy for servers to be counted as instances and each character effectively tied to a server - IF they were controlled by the software company and more likely to be alive for the entire life of the mod and eventually the game.

Tents do save. But pretty much only what you put in them the first save. So choose wisely. I did hear that if you empty a tent completely then put something else in it and save then this resets the tent. Which is handy if you think you have discovered a dupers tent.
