Put me out of my misery?

[h4yw1r3 64]

I'm a new player, and I'm loving this mod. I had thought about buying ARMA 2 for a long time, but didn't til I heard about this mod the other day. Anyway, I'd just like to add my suggestion to the probable many, that the broken bone bug be fixed. It can be frustrating "stepping over" something or crawling through a doorway and having a bone snap.

Despite the frustration, I can't help but crack up every time I think about one of my friends that downloaded the game and mod to play with us. He's played the last three nights, and all three nights, just after finally meeting up with us, he's broken a bone without any morphine in the group, and quit in frustration. First stepping over a sandbag wall at the encampment south of the southern airstrip (been there, done that myself more than once). Second was crawling through a doorway. Third time was last night, and this was the funny one. Someone had put up a sandbag wall (2 sandbags high is all) in the doorway of the control tower of the southern airstrip. I heard him curse in teamspeak. Shortly after, I saw someone crawling at the door when I came downstairs. I thought someone was trying to sneak in and yelled in teamspeak, "WHO'S IN THE DOORWAY!?! IS THAT ONE OF YOU!?!" Then I just heard my friend say in an understandibly frustrated voice, "Put me out of my misery." The rest of us couldn't help but break into laughter at him.

But funny moment aside. I hope this gets fixed.

Haha yee it did get looked at in the recent patch but its what the infected do on damage to your leg, so still gonna be careful of those doorways.

We should be able to make splints for broken bones

Yeah, just have a pile of wood in our inventory. Splint the bone so that at least you can move upright. Just make the run slower til you get the morphine.

I'm pretty sure breaking bones/taking damage (or worse yet, getting instakilled) at awkward positions like climbing over stuff or crawling through doorways is because of the ArmA2 engine. Not entirely sure but if that is the case, it most likely won't get fixed. Just tell your friend to be more careful :P

And speaking of awkward deaths...I was going for a heli crash site I saw near Polana but I scouted someone camping the site with my binos. He was looking at my direction with binos too, so I threw up a salute at him and continued to Polana instead of the crash site. After looting the market I circled up behind him hoping to take one asshole camper out. As I was crawling up a hill ~300 meters away from where I had seen him, I crawled three times against a spruce... and killed myself. I only hope the camper didn't come across my body, man that was embarrassing :blush: :lol:
