@OrganizedChaos: Yeah. If you chose to run about the countryside then your not going to have may encounters. Either find the map ingame of go to the wiki and have a look at that map. I'm really enjoying orienteering and plotting a route to check out interesting looking buildings and things. Once I get a good amount of gear…
I was using a MAK as i went indoors, I wanted to save M4 rounds since i was running low, but damn at only a few feet away he was an easy hit...really surprised me he didnt die. ...never thought he was a hack, but who knows.... Personally, if i had the knowledge and the codes, i would have gone right back in an A-10....lol.
Another Winchester! & a map you lucky, sob. Grr you know how rare that is? I've been looking in all towns for a map, I guess like others have said use the 2nd monitor but I haven't yet, guess It's a good idea. Others in game have said this as well have to try It out. Before I found the compass I figured keep the sun behind…
Well, sometimes the zombies can magically spot you. I've been stationary, crouched in the dark and a zombie 50ft away saw me. Other times I can crouch-walk past them 10ft away or less. Sometimes there are quiet zombies hiding behind doors, too. If you run out of ammo in a firefight like that though, you're toast, simple as…
Awesome tractor vid. I've decided to give DayZ a break. Was eating far too much of my time up. Just running through woodland for hours and trying to find good servers is addictive enough! Anyhoo. I was getting bored of playing as "the loner". You definately need to have a team to cover your back. It horrible getting killed…
Game seems more likely to kill in some random way if i'm carrying valuable items and actually care alot, trying not to get killed. I've lost so many assault rifles and other shit, without even firing them once. Fuck. And when I'm spawning on the shore, recklessly running around like a fool and having fun with PK, I end up…
I have found that you can zig zag past zombies instead of belly crawling everywhere, just to get into a decent building. Then of course, you take advantage of them slowing down at the door to pick them off. Doors should stay open, you dont want to have to stop to open a door while you are being chased. I also look for…
Best thing you can do is to stalk them a while. It's really easy to lose people so always have eye-on them. It's easier to spot their motives if they run into zombies or other players. If it feels safe to approach then do. Walk in pairs, if you have a buddy , let him cover you with a sniper while you check the other guy…
so I totally understand people thinking that the ARMA2 engine is a clunky piece of poo, but you gotta realize that there isnt another single game out there that does anything close to what it does. all the AI pathing in a huge open world, ballistics for every shot (some rounds disappear at a max range), AI looking, and…
After a week of editing I finally have a video of our most intense gameplay in Day Z so far, even though this happened over a month ago. We raided the NW airfield in the dead of night with no nightvision, sending one of our group running down the runway holding a flare: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T64GjyEPG-k"]Day…
