InvisiMan2013 229 Posted January 7, 2014 Honestly, the level of luck in this gameplay is over 9000, especially considering I've never been in a gunfight in this game, but man was it intense! These are the moments that elevate a game. This is why I love DayZ: http://youtu.be/kym0GhUP0_M 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuchHigher 65 Posted January 7, 2014 Haha, yes it is alot of fun. I had to fast forward through that video a bit. Here is a tip, don't run up to dead bodies so fast! Every lesson I have learned in DayZ has been a hard learned lesson. I love the intense fire fights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meat pie 632 Posted January 7, 2014 I have played this game a lot and have never been in a gun fight because I only die when they have a big jump on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor05121 32 Posted January 7, 2014 What are you guys using to record and what resolution? I don't like Fraps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InvisiMan2013 229 Posted January 7, 2014 What are you guys using to record and what resolution? I don't like Fraps. I've been testing several recorders and I'm currently using MSI afterburner... with this particular video, it was on a 2+ hour haul and I forgot to end the recording before exiting DayZ, which resulted in hours of trying to recover a corrupt AVI... hence the poor quality, audio, etc.. I record at 16:9 720p at 30fps. The game takes a slight performance hit, but you don't miss gameplay like this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kym0GhUP0_M&feature=youtu.be&t=31m Go here to see the fire fight.. Yeah, sorry about that... I'll add a shortcut to the fight, but I think the leadup is what makes the fight worth while (since we were starving and without weapons just minutes earlier).

I know, I fully expected to get killed, but luck was on our side. I have played this game a lot and have never been in a gun fight because I only die when they have a big jump on me. This was the second time with a working gun - the first time I never had a chance to shoot it. This time you could see us trying to figure out how the thing works!

NuckFuts 265 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Your friend needed the Pistol mag (FNX45) filled with 45ACP rounds, you needed to manually fill the mag with their corresponding bullets ie. the 45.ACP bullets into the empty FNX45 mag then load the mag into the pistol. Same applies for the M4 except you use 5.56 rounds to fill the mags then load the filled mag into your weapon.. the Magnum takes the 356 bullets direct.. I'm actually not sure why it didn't fire when you filled it and it didn't fire. For future reference the Mosin rifle takes the 7.62 ammo type directly the same as Magnum. I like watching videos like this, I remember being new to the game and was exactly the same :) Edited January 7, 2014 by NuckFuts 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish my friend stayed alive... there was so much loot to go around! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckFuts 265 Posted January 7, 2014 To think, your friend unknowingly saved your life, if not for his death (and your waiting where you did) you might have been caught from behind as he was :( In almost three weeks of playing I've not been lucky enough to this very day to bump into any players who are friendly. I must be playing the wrong servers. I will keep looking, hoping :) I liken your situation to the first time I stumbled into two people, my heart was racing like crazy, luckily these guys didn't see me approaching, I could hear them talking in direct chat, there were a couple of dead bodies near to where they were, I naturally imagined that these guys were the culprits so I took the decision to take them on. I'm not a bandit, I dont ever kill on sight as 9 times out of 10 I lose in such situations, but this was different, at least it felt the right thing to do at the time. So I crouched next to a wall and leaned to the right to see them.. I waited for them to come out of the building they were in and a bullet each from the Magnum I had only moments before found soon sorted them out, both hit the floor.. I took a hit from one of the guys pistols but got away with it bleeding, nothing a quick rag didn't fix. I just couldn't believe I got the better of them.. especially going by the stuff they had on them. It was the very first time I got full military grade loot and sexy camo clothes. Needless to say I was happy, although my heart wasn't in agreement! I looted them with the gusto of robbing a bank and then give it the Usain Bolt. That was a good day, the saddest part of the whole thing was that a few hours of play later I sadly lost that character to falling from a rock. On top of that I hadn't even had the chance to play with my newly acquired toy :( I wish you well! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flight96 99 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Good kills, good battles. I'm just really pissed that you couldn't get a magazine into your hands....then put the bullets into the godamn magazine lol. You also kept alot of shit from your 'buddy' that could've helped him survive. Other than that. You got a killer instinct. You survived. Good shit. And this is why I love DayZhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2N8kMbqsbI_______________________________________________________ Now THATS funny. and creepy as hell at the same time. Even if its staged. I give it a nod. Edited January 7, 2014 by Flight96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never played Arma and I had no idea how bullets, magazines and guns work in this game, so we tried to figure out as much as we could on the fly. If we made it out alive, I would have shared more of what I had. I'm a pretty passive player and avoid conflicts, but I had no choice but to defend myself. I can't wait to get online tonight!
