Shot first ask questions later?

Some big bad guy with a Gillie suit, probably GPS, night vision and thermal, sits on a mountain top waiting the entire game for you to run in to his view. He doesn't care if you have no gear, a little tiny pistol or one can of beans, hell no.

He doesn't care if you've ran, crawled all over the map dodging zombies and other players who might kill you for a can of Pepsi.

He's sweating in his headset talking to himself until you blast into view from 500 yards.

"He we go boyees, the moment I've been waiting for all my life. This will go down in the history books as one bad ass head-shot. Fraps on..."

Oh yeah and another thing. Its easy to find your tents hidden up on the mountain tops. Raided them many times for little items but always left the good stuff out of respect...not anymore. ;)

Well thats the thing some players are pure bandits they kill just for the kills. how ever there are players out their that are friendly if u dont shoot back

If you're not a bandit/sniper, the bandit/snipers seem like total dicks.

Personally, I don't see ANY challenge (ooo bullet drop physics, lol) in attacking someone who does not know you are even there.

It's a valid playstyle that unfortunately can leave a bad taste in the mouths of those who want to play more "friendly".

Don't become jaded, don't KoS if you don;t "believe" in it.

DO take whatever you like from tents.

It's part of the game. Bandits and snipers are there, move on.

You have the option of shooting first and asking questions after, as long as you don't shoot his head off and then ask the question "Are you ok?"

Snipers [the ones he's talking about here]= murderers.

Bandits =/= murderers.

People need to learn to differentiate.

I usually snipe but most of the times it's either a planned raid or baiting. Remember I had one of my friends with an entire squad of 5 players in the middle of the road. Took out 3 of them and my buddy did the rest. Case closed.
