BigMorgan (DayZ)

Making this into a stand-alone game would kill a lot of the appeal to me. I would love to see it as an alternate MP gamemode for Arma 3, or even as a (stand-alone) expansion for either Arma 2 or Arma 3. Making it into a separate game would - from my ignorant perspective - seem to limit the size and scope of the island/map. Unless BIS focuses on developing a DayZ standalone game with its own large island after Arma 3 development, which would likely take away focus from developing an expansion and/or DLC island for Arma 3. Either way, as an Arma fan it's a lose-lose. Keep it dependent on Arma-series development as a move towards efficiency; the large, realistic, and open island/map is as important to this mod as the persistence is.

I wish this were true, but hackers and Arma 2 have a long history. The game makes for some truly epic "hacks" possible and while I wouldn't take pleasure in ruining the game for others I can see why making mini-nukes that shoot out zombies that explode when they come near a player may be fun to some people. You certainly can't cheat so creatively in, say, CoD:MW3.

I've never seen the mindless fragfest attitude. I avoid Cherno and Elektro and play with a squad. So I ask again: why aren't people playing with friends?

To all who have had a bad experience building teamwork with randoms I have a question: Why do you care? Why not play with friends you already trust? That is an absolute necessity in this mod!

Is "Hardcore Survivor Land" a bad thing? I could use more of a challenge up north.

I like rockin' a beard and big scar on my face in-game. Does using that face make me a cheater, since it can cause intimidation in carebear noobs? :P

Does RageCageGaming have a clan tag? My [TGW] mates were saying that a group tagged [LL] were claiming ownership of Chicago 10 last night in-game.

I had no idea the audibility was actually tied into the sound config. Is this the kind of thing a very patient user with experience editing addon configs could overcome? Or is it deeper than just adding some config entry + value for each sound? I haven't had to listen to the vanilla Arma 2 weapons and environment sounds in probably 2 years, and they're really quite inferior to what the community has come up with from JSRS to ACE to all the rest.

Honestly, who is getting a response? I've been waiting over a week as well and I've tried to be fairly respectful and minimize my contact with the team and whining on the forums. Patience is a virtue, I figure. But I guess I should start a thread begging and pleading for a response? :|

From what I saw in the vids, all these people were basically either sitting in place like little man-turrets or started running in a straight line across an open field. Not a slight at Acebane at all, but pretty noobish behavior. Best vid is the one where he and the guy in the barracks are having a standoff for a good 15 minutes! lol

I call BS. Team Razor and their NAPA allies could slaughter a million bazillion zombies! Clearly, the infection began after the civil war and USMC withdrawal. :P

The #1 thing that helped me with this issue was putting Arma 2 on an SSD. The #2 thing that helped was upgrading to a GTX 680.
