Dayz: The Rules of Engagement [video]

[break 88]

Hi guys. Added a new video to my channel, (my first with commentary so go easy).

I come across a team of snipers at Stary Sobor and decide to go and take them out using the set of rules me and my squad have developed over the months of playing this mod. I talk about the tactics we use and what we have learnt from countless hours playing this, which maybe helpful to the new survivors out there. :)

like I say in the video I am a bandit, but never shoot at unarmed players OR go anywhere near the coast. If someone is in need of genuine help, I'll help them but generally I'm only friendly to people in my teamspeak or mumble channel.

People got hostile from about the 2nd or 3rd week of us playing this. In the early weeks there were a lot more "friendlies" around including us but since the huge influx of players (which is awesome), people have got a lot more hostile so unfortunately we've had to develop these tactics and a shoot on sight policy.

I'm watching it now, calm down. ;) Some of us have jobs and families and can't be on the forums and YouTube 20 hours a day...

I thought overall it was a good watch. The tactics were pretty sound and it was interesting to watch the stalk. My only real complaint is playing on a server that lets you find people with the "magic hand".

Thanks man. Yeah I join pretty much any server my friends are on. I prefer the none "magic hand" servers because I like sitting and waiting for people, and sniping from a distance so concealment is everything to me. I've now got some rangefinders and an AS50 to go with my silenced m4 so I'm sitting and waiting for bait. :)

Thanks for your input too. :)

I disliked they graying out effect. The first time it happened I was like "I'm surprised he got shot" and then I realized what it was.

I really liked you mentioning skylining yourself and thought you should have went into a better explanation on that.

Overall it was fairly well done. I think that you could have went into more detail and showed different examples for each step, but that's just how I would have done it.

Yeah thanks man. I suppose I could have gone indepth more but I didn't really want to speak too much...just because it was my first attempt at this.

And yeah it kinda looks like i get shot, but I wanted to make the sped up parts different than the normal gameplay setting the apart. I'll try and think of a better solution to this next time. :)
