Rifle Eyez 34 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I would say my pros are Spotting other players/tents/vehicles, I basically play the game constantly freelooking w/ alt and can now navigate pretty well while looking in the complete opposite direction :D. I'm also good at predicting player movements and getting inside their heads based on what I think they're doing/where they're headed after watching them. CQC in respect of reflex/twitch moments (which in arma isn't exactly a key thing, but I often am ADS'ing and one shotting players with a Lee/M14/FAL before I've even processed ''there's a dude there'') and driving. Aim is good, but i'm not too familiar with mil dots and guestimating ranges over 200m. also, I would say I either have fantastic situational awareness or I'm just incredibly lucky but 8/10 i'll spot another player before they spot me - running through a forest or creeping around Cherno - I put it down to luck.My cons are it takes me ages to land helis, like I mentioned before manually ranging/mil dots and my confidence/paranoia. like even if I know i'm in a place where I have the advantage I still want to move as I don't like other players knowing roughly where I am. Like if I kill one guy, and I'm behind good cover, I get to paranoid and have to book it. I see tons of other ''youtuber/streamer dudes'' and general good players just holding down one spot picking off 3/4 man squads whereas I'd probably have GTFO after the first couple shots. tactically i could use work, also I'm usually too paranoid to even contemplate looting stary/nwaf solo or drive a vehicle anywhere. unless it's the old bike :D I often get quite sloppy when I'm playing solo and find myself just wandering too close/basically along roads and booking it across open fields because I can be quite impatient if i'm not in a PVP situation. also I'm the most unlucky person for finding crashed heli sites, haven't seen one in like a week of playing but I have been on foot 95% of the time.and finally..duh duh duhh..i spend way to much time camp hunting around the west/north and hording gear. :( Edited June 26, 2013 by showtime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted June 27, 2013 Last nights session i took down a uh1 and popped two guys who managed to get free after a hard landing and shoot my partner, damaged their other chopper while i was under fire that arrived on the scene to rescue their gear while i was reloading, pinged the guy who got out and was attempting to ambush me with a DMR and then popped the other team member at a decent distance while he was running. In the next half an hour i managed to die three times and lose all of my gear, break my legs trying to pass someone in a doorway and logged off with only a hatchet. Standard dayz player. From an 11 outta 10 to a -1. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creep- 569 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) depends how high I am on a scale of 0 to bob marley.0 - I stick to the treeline obsessively, I run into town, get what I need and get out asap. I keep my distance from major traffic areas, If I see another player I'll take him out, 2 players I'll attempt to take them both. 3 players I'll mind my own business.Bob Marley - I'll run down the middle of the main road with all my undead friends hoping to snag them in a building or on the edge of a barn. I try my best to head straight to a store to hopefully find matches and a knife. I'll rummage barns 'till I find a hatchet. I generally allow for 3000 to 4000 blood loss on any journey so hunting is a high priority. Edited June 27, 2013 by Creep- 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 1631 Posted June 27, 2013 I kill l33t AS50, L85 AWS, NVG guys in the middle of the night with my M14 without NVG or flares.OK it happened once but don't try your luck ;)In the first days it was a huge advance to know how RV engine works so I got my gut feeling about glitches and bugs that I avoid pretty well. Now I'm little above the average or better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plexico 386 Posted June 27, 2013 I'm the kid that runs up to you unarmed screaming "FRIENDLY!" and gets mowed down by an AK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris529 380 Posted June 27, 2013 I've played Dayz since maybe late September of last year, so I have pretty much mastered all the basics as you would expect. I can drive/fly anything very well, I spend a lot of time practicing with cars, trucks, boats, bikes, choppers and planes in the armory (mostly choppers though, most fun IMO). As for shooting/fighting, I hardly fight anyone but usually win or at least survive.So I'm just an average well-rounded player, my strong point is piloting vehicles.

Sutinen 635 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I'm good at shooting moving targets from 100-600m with a ironsight/CCO weapon. (Expect handguns)So that means I'm good at manually zeroing the scopes. As mentioned above. My vocabulary is not great.I can also fly and drive, even though landings might possibly damage the heli.I also know how to sneak. And have some awareness, unlike 80% of the players who run and get shot. Edited June 27, 2013 by Sutinen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toxicsludge 406 Posted June 27, 2013 Im OK. I KNOW the game, the mechanics, but i suck ass when it comes to gunfights. Ive been playing pvp servers just to get some experience. I also like to watch Kebab Removers videos, I've learnt a bit from watching them, he is a great pvp'er. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little8020 14 Posted June 28, 2013 I can hit targets I see pretty good but my biggest struggle is sound based location because I have a cheap headset, If I hear shots or am getting shot at from an unknown place I end up running around like a headless chicken, also I have no flight experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shark Eel 9 Posted June 28, 2013 I'm on the good side of alright.I know chernarus by heart, as others have said.I can drive vehicles, fly helicopters rather well and in tight situations, pilot planes, and commandeer boats with ease.I am skilled with the weapons, and can get consistent kills at 600< meters with most average weapons. I can murder other players with no remorse, even if i had been cracking jokes with them on side chat a minute ago. I don't care about the lives of others in this game, it's all survival of the fittest for me.I am a completely rubbish tactician/strategist. I will run full-pelt into towns to kill someone I have seen, which normally results in my death by zombies. (I'm working on improving my strategies/tactics)I am also excellent at scaring people, literally to death, on this game. Once I was flying a helicopter with 6 passengers and thought it would be funny to turn the engine off and pretend I had jumped out and the heli was crashing. Unfortunately, I tried it twice, and the second time I accidentally hit the 'eject' button, which resulted in the fiery demise of my passengers. 3 survived the initial crash, with broken legs and severe loss of blood. I gave one of them morphine after finding them, and he tried to run to a town to get help, but died from a zombie attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnarchyBrownies 1383 Posted June 28, 2013 I like to think myself as rather excellent. I know Chernarus off-by-heart, I am a skilled driver of all vehicles, especially the white off-road/hilux. I can pilot the UH-1H rather well [and I often take a few risks whilst piloting]. I am skilled with almost every DayZ weapon.Oh, of course, I am a nice tactician most of the time.I also love to kill a large amount of zombies.dat egoFirst of all, I'm not that great. I'm a bad shooter. I can gear up pretty well but I mostly just panic when I get shot at. I'm fine at the game in general, I just can't PvP.I wanted to tell a story, however. I got shot at so I went into a shed and laid down, looking out the door to a hill. I saw someone come onto the screen and before I can even react I was dead. It turned out it was Inception. It was one of my top two deaths as it was quite impressive. Very fast, very painless. I hadn't even finished my thought "Ok now just take aim aaaaaand..." before I had to disconnect and respawn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
