I've played over 300 hours worth of BF3 and got literally thousands of kills. I recall very few of them specifically and almost none with any level of excitement; even up close knife kills are pretty hum drum in hindsight. I've killed 30 - 40 players in Day Z and, save for the sniper trolling in Cherno, everyone one of those kills has been a heart pounding experience with a distinct narrative that makes them incredibly easy to recall. The amount of times i've had to stop stalking someone and BREATHE, actually employ tactical breathing techniques IRL because I can feel my heart smashing into my ribs, is incredible. I think what allows this immersion to occur is the fraility of the experience. Day Z is not so much a Zombie Survival piece as an ultra marathon sim. But that time and space adds tremendous value to making risky decisions; you've just poured 9 hours into getting kitted out in elite tier weapons and items, survived a few close calls and probably ruined a few people's day, is creating more uncertainity worth it at this point? The answer is always yes >:D Hunting Zombies. Who cares? You can never kill them, they don't die or go away, they just come back. They're an environmental hazard, like radiation. You don't defeat them; you manage them. This is what I can't understand about "survivors". What's the point? You're fighting a war you can't win against an enemy that has no agenda. Yeah zombies will hurt you but there's nothing behind that behaviour and there are no real rewards in taking them down. Killing other players, even if I don't loot a useful item I get a really unique opportunity to stress myself, to access a physical and mental state that is usually reserved for true high risk activities. The only other place personally that i've experienced that type of elevated experience is in genuine violent physical confrontations. That says a lot that a video game can pull out that response! And it's useful too; if you can get that response in a safe environment and learn to manage it and bring your arousal (tehe arousal) to the sweet spot of heightened awareness without losing co-ordination, then if you ever ARE in a dangerous situation, you won't freeze up. And that is why I'm a bandit. TL:DR Bandits learn to control aspects of genuine combat stress, survivors shoot paper targets.

I had this error for quite awhile and finally solved it. This may work for you. If you have a Boblite Router make sure your fimrware is up to date. There's an iinet page which says the boblite latest firmware is 1300 but that's rubbish; At the moment the latest firmware is boblite1500 which you can download from here: http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/iinet/firmware/BoBLite/ To install this firmware update make sure you log into your router (10.1.1.1) using INTERNET EXPLORER. For some reason firefox won't work. I also reccomend that after installing your firmware you do a FACTORY RESET; people have had problems with wireless networks not showing up unless the router is factory reset. Doing a factory reset won't uninstall your firmware upgrade but you will have to re-enter all your log in details etc etc. Once you've done all that you shouldn't get battleye client problems. Instead you'll have a whole new exciting set to deal with. *sigh* really looking forward to playing this game....one day.

Ladies and gents, This is going to be the thread where this problem gets solved. In the last 2 hours I've solved 5 seperate problems installing the DAY Z mod and this one right here is the final hurdle. Basically what occurs is I select a server, go through the various loading screens, get into the game proper.....and then get booted 2 - 10 seconds later with the following error : http://i.imgur.com/Chen0.jpg Possible solutions so far (that have not worked) - Changing the multiplexing in your router from VC to LLC. (apparently works for "netgear" brand routers). - Going to http://www.battleye.com/download.html and downloading beclient.dll . Replacing the beclient.dll in your "arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye" folder. One other "solution" which i haven't been able to try is to use another router; seems a touch drastic considering my router is capable of handling every other application that gets trhown at it. If anyone has a solution for this please post it here. When I solve this issue I will update this thread.
