Elektro Sniping.

[osiriszoran 33]

I'm having plenty of fun with some friends, and I haven't killed a single person since starting to play the game, yet. The odds are, most people never even know I am there, or we are there.

It's supposed to be the f**king apocalypse, why would I kill the last surviving humans? To ensure the species dies out or that all the offspring are inbred genetic mutants? It's f**king dumb...

If you are protecting unarmed players from those with mental deficiency, then fair enough, but otherwise, grow some balls.

Killing other players in this game is the only easy thing about it. Go and hang out in the Northwest airfield and ditch your pansy sniper rifles if you want a challenge...Bravery of being out of range and all that. ;)

killing other players isnt easy if you dont 1 shot kill them as most just DC.

NWAF is more often then not empty of people or just has snipers sitting in the hills. SO MUCH FUN not.

Well, if you like being killed, more power to you. I personally prefer staying alive. Plus, I don't have a group of friends to play with, since the people I know have the attention span of a goldfish. And there's no way I'm going to trust random people in the game. That will get me killed quicker than throwing a grenade at my feet.

I haven't died in ages, and have plenty of high level gear and supplies. I have passed up on sniper rifles and I have had plenty of people in my sights that I could have easily killed, but didn't.

I don't shoot unless I have to, so most of the time no one even knows I am there, or could have killed them. They are happily unaware and I am happy to leave it that way.

I am aware that there are a lot of murderers out there, so I generally avoid contact with anyone that isn't in my group, unless they get in our/my way, or get too close, then I warn them and they usually disconnect because they had no f**king clue we were there and freak out.

99% of survival is psychology. Watching a lot of Ray Mears Survival taught me that. ;)

Seems like 99% of the people playing this game are CoD and Battlefield kiddies with no survival knowledge or training so they just hang around populated areas and deathmatch or go inland and murder people for sport because they have completely missed the point of this mod.

Yes there might be a lot of Battlefield and CoD boys roaming around, Chernarus.

And i'm a Battlefield player as well. But what you are saying, (with no survival knowledge or training).

is not really the point. I have military survival training, you think that help out in a game like this?

No it doesn't this game is quite easy when you get the hang of it, and the really hard element is avoiding bandits.

Even Rocket him self have stated that, PvP should be in the game, bandits are a big part of the game feeling.

I'm a bandit, and i kill most player's that i spot with my scope. I don't kill new spawn's, and in the beginning i even help't a few out with gear and so on, even if that backfired more than once. So now i don't do that.

The people who takes some of the joy from this game is the server hoppers, and the guys that open fire at you or your group, and the second you return the fire they Alt-f4. Those are the bad people, not the quot on quot "honest" bandit's who are putting some tension in the game, that make people watch there back where ever they go.

get a hatchet and go fuck them up

They just disconnect, since hatchet takes a long time to kill someone. Lee Enfield is really the best weapon a fresh spawn will be able to get their hands on to deal with snipers.

Any people shouldn't complain about this too much, I've gotten lots of nice gear from killing snipers, gear that would have taken me all day to find otherwise.

Without bandits this game would be boring. Simple as that. No suspense. No thrill. Just roaming around looting.

The zombies are maybe a threat the first 10 - 15 minutes when you have no gun and you have to go around and loot. Later on you can just run away from them, even if you're totally out of ammo.

Lategame the zombies are there to draw attention to the reckless, so they can be put down by the more stealthy.

I agree that killing newly spawned people in Elektro is just retarded seeing they offer no fight, nor loot. But there is nothing like the thrill of encountering a fully geared squad, and taking them on. Even if you're 800 meters away. They still can offer up quite a fight, flanking you and what not.

In real life, snipers don't run around shooting people to pieces, laying still for maybe 1 minute. They lay still for hours, maybe days, waiting for that perfect shot. When you finally get it, it's about maintaining your cool and hitting the target. DayZ offer what atleast resembles that feel.

"Survival" would be quite boring without bandits. This game isn't carebear friendly and never will be. If you can't take the heat... find something more casual, I suggest Plants vs. Zombies.

laughing my ass off at this.

New spawn snipers? What a bunch of fags.

I play battlefield 3, 8days on this life and 1 murder (my friend walked in to my line of fire awhile killing zomibes).

i got a as50 tws from a hacker and have racked up 33 kills. i just love killing other snipers hiding in foilage.

i laugh at the punks using dmrs, m24s, and the other lowly 2 shot kill rifles
