15 troops. We run all the hell over Chernarus. None of us has ever seen one. Maybe I'm playing in the wrong servers.

(We did find two FALs with Night Fighter scopes, which is pretty sweet for overwatch)

31) can you hold 2 primary weapons? what are the pros and cons?

After finding a larger pack (Alice packs spawn reliably in Grocery Stores, Czech packs spawn often in Medium and Low value residential) you're able to hold more slots. With a coyote pack you could conceivably carry 3 primary weapons (2 in your pack at 10 slots apiece with 4 spare slots for mags or supplies). When you open your bag you can hotswap a weapon in your bag for the weapon your carrying. In the way of fair warning though your magazines hotswap along side your weapon, and if the amount you're switching into your bag (feeding your held primary) exceed the total available slots in your bag your character will simply drop them. This configuration is popular with snipers, as it allows the carrying of a high powered, long ranged weapon like an AS50 or Barret for long range engagements and a M4 CCO SD for close encounters and raiding. This combination is devastating.

Does anyone else feel the mouse movement in first person is weird? I notice when I jerk mouse the view gets blurry and it just feels weird.. cant really explain it but when I watch videos of people playing it seems very smooth and flush.

Any ideas?

Try turning off post-process effects in the settings.

Thanks, I will try when I get off work. On that note, was your mouse movement like that in the beginning before you turned that off? common issue?
