Private Evans

agreed ...we defenetely need a bit more " zombie apocalypse" feeling than we have right now especially to get away from this mainly PVP oriented gameplay/feeling that it is at the moment...I know that a lot or most of it will be provided by the new game mechanics, features and improvments, but the gameworld has to be believable as a whole..means beside the gameplay aspects, the devs ( and we) have to imagine how the world would look like after it was at last overun by the infected and what has happened during the last maybe "28 days"...at the beginning people would go or be brought to the hospitals and medical camps....at some point things would get completely out of control....people, especially from the bigger towns, would try to escape..imagine the chaos....the miltary executing people...car, plane, heli and train crashes, etc... then finally the last stand...the infected overun the last barricades.... don't get me wrong we do not need blood and gore all over the place..I imagine most of the private house, villages and factories would even look pretty normal and peaceful ( which could be more scary than to have them covered in blood)...but the "hot spots" like hospitals, evac points, escape routes etc etc should tell us a story of the apocalype based on the scenery but also on our imagination.... adding a few well placed small easter eggs here and there like writings on a wall, barricated rooms and/or houses, notes and newspapers providing some background lore would make it perfect just my thoughts

most of the new exciting and improved content can not be really shown on screenshots cause all the cool game mechanics are running mainly behind the scenes.....there will be improvments to the gameworld and graphics BUT the thing I am really excited about, is the improved gameplay.... just my 2 cents

very good point... plus the fact arma2/dayz graphics isn't bad and will even be improved for the standalone...again....graphic beasts like Battlefield and Crisis are providing awsome effects but are far away from looking realistic...indeed their look is artificial and not natural...

FamousPig...you find such idiots nearly on every forum...especially modding forums....

dayz/arma2 is one of the very very few games that provides a gameworld that looks and feels realistic and this is what it makes outstanding (beside many other things of course).....not HollywoodCrisisBattlefieldCoDSkyrim style ( the real world does not look like this boys !!!)...everybody who has ever been to eastern europe can confirm that dayz/arma2 looks and feels completely real...even without all the improvments ( new weather system etc) the team is working on atm...beside this, NO open world game of this seize can run crisis graphic settings, the result would be framerates between 1 and 5...especially with having all interiors integrated in the same worldspace...no other game has ever provided this ( so manyinteriors) before dayz standalone btw....last but not least ..for all the *censored* complaing about the outdated game engine...go and buy Black Ops 2..its is based on an engine that is now nearly 10 years old...same goes for Skyrim and Fallout Las Vegas..they are also based on the engine (only modified and renamed) that was used for Morrowind back in 2003......

first of all...thank you so much for creating this amazing map/mod !! Really bad ass pvp, loads of zombies, only one hospital, really not much food to find and freezing your balls off ...not to forget this really creepy sounds...I defenetely love this place ! Two questions...will we see better ( high resolution) lod textures in a future update and do you plan to create a version based on dayz stand alone when it's out ?? cheers
