http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11840 If rocket could get a hold of the creator, i think these would be great for us to start out with, and then we can find all the nicer skins in the world. Yes?

So I have been doing a lot of digging on ArmA 3 lately (I have been playing ArmA 2 since it was released back in '09.) and I found this picture in particular. http://forum.i3d.net...909-627x391.jpg Now you may look at that and ask why is this important? Well I can give you a couple reasons why. Take a look at the first character model. What does he have on? You guessed it right. Its the same clothes (boxers/Tshirt) as Matt had on in the new DayZ video. http://youtu.be/x_SKBJaJBcI?t=4m29s (link will take you staright to seeing matt with the same outfit.) (You can also see it here in the ArmA 3 game. ( http://youtu.be/xdXv-qzgOEY) So what does this mean? And why should you care? Well this tells us quite a few things about DayZ SA (These could all be wrong aswell). First being that we MAY see all the armors and camo's and everything else from ArmA 3 implimented into DayZ. With all the factions in ArmA 3, (KSK, USA, SAS, Iranians, China, Russian PMC, Greek Guerillas, Greek Militia, and many many others.) It would be "Suicide" if they didn't use some, if not all the different models and clothing models, including creating their own. (implying that they ARE using the ArmA 3 clothes already which would also explain why they have no "Static models") It would only enhance the amount of diversity in the players and would be once again, a suicidal mistake to not have all of them in game (Sure the Camo's could be SUPER SUPER rare, but having multiple camo's would only make it that much better) Second being that we MAY see the same gun customization as ArmA 3 since DayZ SA will have the same Armor/Character customization. (Keep in mind, I could be completely wrong.) However to only stregnthen my argument here is a picture showing some of the customization to characters in ArmA 3 (See below) http://www.rapidfire...d-equipment.jpg As you know, DayZ SA does have different vest/clothing and it would only make sense that they took the customization from ArmA 3 and tweeked the screen to their liking to make it better for us DayZ players. Lastly (Now THIS is a BIG BIG speculation and we COULD or could not see it.) they could possibly be implementing the Animations from ArmA 3 into DayZ SA. It makes sense to do that (since the release date was pushed) as it will make the game look that much prettier and run that much smoother and hopefully fix the crappy animations from ArmA 2 Zeds. This one how ever is a bit of a stretch and I could see this NOT happening as this would be a much bigger investment in time to do such things. Thank you for reading through this, and I'm sorry if this has already been covered before. However I would love to hear your guy's input on this and what you guys think.

Thanks man!

@Bill once again. Finding said camo's would be insanely hard. I.E. It takes you one week of gameplay to find a Vest and One Camo pants. Make them rare, but put in ALL the different varieties that way Clan's can have a "set Camo" to not only help them spot each other but to make each and every character in the game more diverse! you do realise in A3, the only Military forces are Nato and China and I believe Greece? All the rest are PMC/Militia and others, which means they would have Civilian clothing/Make shift gear. Again. make Civilian Clothes more common and make the military "Gear" less common. I mean fuck, I own ~6-7 pairs of BDU's that I wear because they are some of the most comfortable clothes around. @Elvaron If they ever included the community I would love to do some 3d gun models for DayZ. I have so many drawings of guns laying around, its insane! :3

Sorry guys, Chrome is being stupid so I can't quote. @Elvaron. I use to Mod Bethesda Games, and did everything you could imagine. I'm sure (Since BI is much like Bethesda and like the users to generate their own content to help the game) that they will keep the same structure for all the 3d models. For instance, I could import knifes/swords from Skyrim back to Fallout 3. I would only have to change one hit box, as they were updated. So I'm sure BI would/do keep the models the same or as same as possible so exporting old guns/armor/skins/etc. would be as simple as possible! @Dallas. I agree completely. I don't mean to compare DayZ to ArmA2 or Arma 3. I mainly just made this post to point out that we will be getting some of the features form ArmA 3, or maybe ArmA 3 is getting some DayZ features :P but either way, you are very right. A3 is a military simulator made so people can make their own missions, make their own content and have freedom over how they play, when DayZ is all about the MMO. but with that being said, since (from what I was told) DayZ was bought out by BI(???) I'm sure we will be seeing many of the same features in the two titles, which is the main purpose of this post. As for everyone else posting thanks for your insight and your information :3

Well you lost some scripts when your PC crashed. Try uninstalling and re installing the game.

The "Coyote Pack" (really a TMA backpack) has a size of 20"W x 20"H x 9"D. The Czech Pack (AKA 65L pack) is (Taking size from my 65L) 18"W x 27"H x 10"D. As you can see the 65L pack is MUCH bigger and should be so in game. (Hell I can fit an AR-15 (M4 Length) in my 65L, and the only gun I can get in my TMA is my UMP when the stock is folded...) I'm sure with a patch they could edit the Packs and swap them in the loot spawns. Why? Czech is much nicer on the Camo and Soldier clothing and blends in much better compared to the TMA, which again should make it better, and much more rare than the TMA. (BTW the Alice pack is bigger IRL than the TMA as well) Just my two cents. What do you guys think? Below is a picture of a 65l Backpack. (sorry no pictures of me with it as its at my friends house as a last chance SHTF bag) And below is a picture of myself with the TMA Pack. As you can see the size difference is HUGE. Plus my pack is filled to the brim! (I'm 6'2)

So I've seen a lot of people complaining that there isn't enough "russian weapons" and that there are too many Nato weapons. I have one sentence for you. GO PLAY ARMA 2! If you PLAYED the actual game (and not just bought it for DayZ) you would know that the Americans are occupying Chernarus. If Z day broke out the AMERICANS would send out troops to try and stop said infection and there would be LOADS of Nato guns. (assuming the infection started in Chernarus, which would make sense) It really surprises me how stupid some of you are. Now just too keep this on topic, I suggest you add in a Theater mode. Where you can save and replay your life. Only shows it form your view and you can't go out of your view. Only records form log in til death. Previous days are not saved unless specifically saved.

They are an Opfor but they aren't nearly as big. Many more US soldiers than any other in CHernarus,

Well given that the OpFor is a group of rebels, I would imagine you would see MANY MANY more Nato guns over Russian Guns. It would only make sense that If you had 10,000 Marines deployed there at the outbreak and only 5,000 rebels you would see many more Nato guns. Not to mention all the US bases that would stock Nato Guns. It makes perfect sense that there are more Nato guns than russian.

I think everything should be able to be found in town, except high end weapons. I think just Shotguns and pistols in town/Non military. Maybe farms get rifles (lee enfield, maybe AK's.) But I like the idea. Only if you have stores like a Camping store for GPS, Survival things (backpacks included) and ON OCCASION (very rare) they have a good gun in there. Maybe an AR-15, military shotgun, etc. Nothing TOO good but something decent.) grocery store for food/water/band aids/Painpills/Any over the counter medicine. Medical for Blood, morphine, Epi.

I walk in the rain for hours at a time... I don't see why you would get sick form it...

UST-15 with Cmore or Eotech VSS (already in game just needs to be put in DayZ) MG36 (already in game just needs to be put in DayZ) UMP 45 With Cmore sight M40A3 (already in game just needs to be put in DayZ) M249 SPW with Cmore sight. Or an MK46 with same sight. (same mag as M249) Kriss Super V with SRS (Can use G17 mags, as well as Kriss 30 rnd mags, has NO recoil (just like the real thing)) M60VN of course. (same mag as the M240 and MK48) L86 (already in game, just needs to be in DayZ) As much as I ahte them, Scar-L and Scar-H MG3 Thompson from WW2. and some custom guns I made would be nice ;D Edit: Need the nugget aswell

I would be willing to pick up 100 Penis riddled notes for one good story. if players want to be that immature let them. It will make the stories that much better when you get to them. I think it should all be computer Generated but lioke you said you can edit it. Like 10:34, player walked for 1 hour. 11:34 Player wen't prone for 2 minutes, 11:36 player crouched and looted for 5 minutes. Etc. THen you can go in and change the narrative to 1034. Today has been a long day, I started it off by walking for an hour. I then saw a car heading towards me so I ducked down in the nearest bush. It was 3 bandits and they didn't look very friendly. One had an AS50 another... Etc. I think that would be awesome :D It would really let those players who love to write stories (myself included) really have another aspect to this game. And really makes me want to be more cautious to write a better and better story. If only you could save it when you die as a TXT file. If you could do that I would never play another game. Of course you need the option to view anothers player not on the dead body, an option to pick it up and save it for later, and then one last one to save it to your PC as a TXT file to share on the Forums and see who's it was :P

Oh yes, the guy died form loss of blood. Let me just jump start his heart. you must be some kind of idiot to think that Defibs are some kind of God given machine that brings anyone back to life. Reason why BF, can use it effectively is because its just an FPS. Not a Sim, but an average Arcade FPS. Sure its more realistic than CoD, and more realistic than etc. but its still an arcade shooter that is all about the fast pace action. I agree, leave and never come back.

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't think I would have understood that if you hadn't. v.v

Well that just takes the fun out of going solo is not being able to heal yourself! (which is fair enough) I'm not all for the whole "Bullet" damage as I think thats why we have bandages and the blood icon in the first place :P I just feel its redundant.

Sounds pointless... Imo. Especially only eating when you are hungry. Maybe you can go overfilled (3 cans after green or two steaks) and that goes into a Blue color (For food Icon) but then returns to normal much quicker than needing to eat (15 minutes of sitting goes back to normal green, or 7 minutes of running). If that is the case, it should take 2 stakes to go back to green and 4 cans of food. (so you can eat a max of 4 stakes or 7 canned foods from being hungry (blinking) to being stuffed (blue icon) But removing my ability to heal myself when playing SOLO sounds like a stupid idea. So Being able to eat 2 steaks every 7 minutes (when running) sounds reasonable but only if they make each stake worth 1k blood since it being 200 blood would take too long to fill your blood back up. Canned food would now be worth 500 blood as well.

I agree completely, you will be winded during a firefight (My friends have dragged me airsofting quite a few times) and everytime I was, I would drop my backpack if we were setting up in a position for a few minutes or if we were going to ambush the enemy. (wish that was an option in DayZ) I think Backpacks do need to make you run slower and make you loose your run faster (All though, personally I can still sprint just as fast as normal after walking for 2 straight hours, I just can't sprint for as long. But thats just me.)

I personally agree with all of them. You have my cookies.

With an FFA license you can own CERTAIN selective fire weapons, but they tend to be super expensive. The guns you see are all Semi Automatic AKA the civilian versions) Why would you be concerned? However I don't want to get off topic but as you can see, guns aren't the problem its the people. Pushing items out of the backpack could cause them to disappear. If they didn't I would be on board with this. See upper post about Irresponsible gun owners. As for bag encumbrance? I wear my FMA Pack every time I leave my house I take it everywhere with me. Its roughly ~20 lbs IF that. (probably less) and its something you get used to... I walked ~20 miles (probably 17 miles or so) home from my friends house with it on, I didn't notice it until I got home and took it off. :3 And mind you, this i my main GTFO bag, so I never take anything out unless I need it then it goes right back in. Also just for comparison, I'm 6'2 and weigh 140. Can't even bench my own weight... Yet I can carry this pack around with me everywhere. So I don't think Encumbrance is a big deal for Soldiers. And yes I've walked around with not only my SL8 (G36/10lbs) but my UMP on my back (An extra 5 lb's)

What do you mean? Thats not even close to how many guns I have. If you implying I'm going to go on a shooting spree. 99.985% (rounded down) of gun owners, own them responsibly. ;) That means 0.014% of people who own LEGAL guns use them irresponsibly. (that .014% not only counts legal guns but Illegal guns.) Sure I have a lot of weapons but the only way to defeat tyrants is to bring them down yourself ;)

I can't tell you exactly what I have in my 65L. All i know is its enough to last em about 5 days in clothes and something like 8-9 days in food water. However in my FMA, I have my G36 Barrel (extra) Pair of BDU's, two pairs of shirts, underware, socks, etc. 2 pairs of jeans, some ammo, a water bottle and an Extra mag on one of the side pouches and on the other I've got an old red shirt I use for cleaning my blades (which reminds me I have a Machete attached to the side of my pack) and then I have batteries, flashlights and other misc things in the front pouch. I also have a pair of Binocs and 2 HUGE winter jackets... All in the FMA alone. So You could easily fit 24 slots. I think that would be just about right for that backpack (24 canned goods would be just about right in the main compartment. It JUST about holds a 48 pack of Top Ramen (I'll check in the morning.) However, I think no guns should be able to fit in it as it is a relatively short pack However, the Czech? Should have something along the lines of 36 slots or so. I'll see if I can stop by and grab my pack for some better measurements later. :D

Yes great idea. Lets just give the already retarded bandits more incentive to not only spawn trap kids but turn them into even more dicks. If anything Player killing should drop your XP, but I am totally against it.

I can see it now. A group of survivors playing cards in there house. Boom door gets kicked in, Bandit runs in and mows them all down. I would quite enjoy playing cards through ArmA though. Jut make sure not to play with sore losers or you might be filled with bullet holes ;)
