hey all i ordered ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead to get Dayz running, but the game they've sent me is in a box with all the text in french will that mean i have to play dayZ in french, or can i just change the language setting and it'll be fine thanks fellas

ive not installed it yet, im waiting for my new gaming rig to arrive (my 2 year old compaq simply cant run ARMA II on its own), i wanted to know if i should send it back and if teh french and english are all the same release, i guess i dont have to worry about reading in french (unless i can't find the right options menu) boneboys, have my BEANZ

vehicle customisation would be kinda intuitive,m scrap metal to armour up your engine bay, doors windows etc, as well as fitting a GPS to the dash also, i agree with what seems to be the current consensus, that vehicles should be everywhere (they wouldn't just vanish after the infection), and not always totally boned (except for helis, which would need parts AND TIME to fix up to being workable, but should need a green engine to run for more than a few minutes, good tyres to go off road. then make fuel teh hard thing to find, after all, the oil rigs won;t be churning the crap out of teh earth wil they? and the fuel depo should be a good spot to look for some (but probably crawling with bandits/hijackers), relying on either group raids to fill up oil tankers (from which jerry cans can be filled) and keep safely tucked inside a cozy base, far away from bandits, where you can sell it onto desperate survivors for their beans/ammo/valuables ("ill fill your hilux for you, good sir, if you give me a can of mountain dew" :D) then make a wide range of civilian vehicles, with realistic gear capacities (proportional to the size of the boot, so a huey won't actually have that much room, but a pickup would have LOADS), and watch the carnage at the fuel depot as for the fuel depot, im thinking of a large walled complex, with one wide entrance for tankers/vehicles at the front, and a couple of smaller ones round the perimiter for hiking survivors to sneak in through to the main loading bay, where you can get access to limited fuel (regenerates slowly, but can hold loads) the fuel in the tank slowly regenerates (probably enough to fuel half of what we want to use), and EVERY time fuel is taken out, its lost from the tank the tankers should be about 3-4 per server, hold an insane amount of fuel in the back (as much as you can find basically), but slow to drive, and would need armouring on teh tanks to protect from sadistic bandits ("that's alot of fuel you have there, now watch it come out of my 50 calibre hole onto the road!") (note a hole at the top of teh tanker should set its maximum fuel level to drain at the top, but a hole at the bottom would drain it empty) also, vehicles everywhere should spawn with a little bit of fuel (except for broken fuel tanks) which can be siphoned off using a jerry can and a hosepipe at the risk of ingesting toxic petrol/diesel (lets just assume that either one will make you VERY ill) or with a hand pump (rare find) and jerry for safer extraction

nothing like a good double barrelled shotgun either... long as you dont mind every Zed in Chenarus coming for you at once but seriously: shotgun for fun, carefree times, then a hatchet to clean up the congregating zed when you're all out of shells... all you need is an anti-bandit weapon and you're unstopable!

coking beans, lighting up your home, or even frying bandits! the only limit is your imagination!

if you want to give it away, fly low and fast over cherno/electro, attracting every bambi and bandit within miles, land on the outskirts, find a nice spot to watch fronm, get some binoculars, and watch the bambi massacre! or seriously, land in cherno and drive out, it should be gone by the time you get back but really seriously, how any bambis have you killed as they walked up to the actually broken heli?

i mean i got the motherboard out of an XBOX and you mean i can just plug a bunch of components into a motherboard, boot it up with a DVD for windows in the drive and it does the complex stuff for me? ABSOLUTLEY no complex fiddling with the computer's own drivers for its hardware? and how about getting drivers for the hardware (such as graphics drivers), do they just come in a DVD with the hardware? i guess i should check some tutorials :P thanks

i would certainly be interested, but have no technical experience with PCs except for changing out RAM and opening up an XBOX, surely it cant be as simple as plugging everything in and slamming a DVD with Windows in there?

So what spec of graphics card should I go for? And would an i5 manage with 8gb RAM? And will windows 8 work with dayz or does somebody need to try for us to find out?
