Sniping Fail in Elektro.

[drjuanitor 27]

We decided to do some dayz death match and i was close to getting off, but they convinced me to stay. I took overwatch in the hills above Elektro simply because i could see the main road and most of the building in which my squad was located. In the beginning, im looking at my back to make sure no one is behind me in the field. Everything goes well until the end. 12 year olds attack me. I hate 12 year olds.

That will happen when you post up in the middle of a field.

or take too many shots from the same position.

ALT key is your friend :)

epic fail, since you are playing on 3rd person you should see 360 degree arround you at everytime...

[drjuanitor 27]

Yeah, ive never been this careless in a pure combat situation, and it was the only footage i had gotten of me atleast shooting someone from a distance. figured itd be a little bit of a fun show. Also, dont do what i did here. xD

Well, you got your death match.  You lost.

yes sir i did. also, i am not promoting this behavior in this game. we had a larger group and i was just there in the background.

uh. So 3rd person automatically lets you see a panorama of the entire world around you? Including what's behind you?

Last time I checked the standard 3rd person fov is around 180 or something.

yeah its something like that

the only way i could have seen them coming is if i had taken the time to alt look but sitting in third person alone, i wouldnt have seen them. not sure what hes talking about. but what ever xD

mhm yes... go 3rd person, press alt, have 360 view...

theres a misunderstanding. when your in third person, you dont see 360 degrees around you unless you obviously move your mouse. i think thats whats goin on here..
