then I hope this, and other similar future changes force you to fuck off and find another game.

yes, you all abused the shit out of it to save yourselves 10 mins travel time and now it is getting removed. amen!

hmmm looks interesting. Can't say huge amounts of people have CDed on me, but will certainly test and report any findings i see :) Good to see the sound bug for zed fixed, they have been quiet of late which makes me bored.

I'mthinking this.... quality of player? eh? people have this superioty thing going on cos they can sit for hours on end with a better gun than others and snipe them? in many games I've played before, this kind of camping is laughed at. It isn't skills it is just the will to have a 99% boring game experience in order to stroke your e-peen. I have no issue with snipers, I have no issue with campers, I have no issue with milsims and real life tactics, but I have issues with people who assume they are somehow great players for sitting in a hole for hours on end. just do it don't boast about it!

server hopping doesnt pay.

Annoying at best, but they will finish you off if you make a miscalculation. Need food quick, starving, no time to waste, they can be the end of you. but mostly its players. i would like to be scared of both zed and player.

I'm not going to vote for now. It kinda has legs, but there are at present too many obstacles. 1 - server full 2 - server disappears for days on end 3 - server shuts down 4 - network issues on server 5 - spoils the "death is permenant" part of the game. get shotm meh, I have 7 other high level characters dotted around. these are just five issues i though up in 10 seconds flat.

2nd film much better than the first. great speach, what is it taken from?

macabre!

OP - Why? You're nuts and the rest of us say, keep supporting this game please devs, thanks for your efforts.

OP is pure fiction.

not true there are many modded maps in arma 2, stop spoutning assumptions as fact. however, the map designer (Bukta?) has already said he is hoping to do some changes to chernarus for dayz alone. expanding it further inland, and presumably some islands. Perhaps they will replace some buildings with enterable ones?

I played it some after buying arma 2 for dayz only. enjoyed parts of the SP campaign, few too many rough edges and bugs to be a great game, but some parts are awesome. multiplayer is ok. i doubt i have seen it at its best yet, i'm sure clan vs clan would be good, but with randoms it is too disjointed. i think when arma 3 comes out i will join a clan and see if i can get a really great experience out of it. the game has unlimited potential and it is going in the right direction, but there are a few too many rough edges. would be nice to find some different game set ups. i played a lot of americas army in the past, would be good to have a small map with just infantry doing very specific objectives in tight timescales, not every arma 2 server needs to be running huge sprawling fights over huge areas (these are good but variety is king). there don't seem to be too many scenario servers around either. 10 spec ops guys in a huge map vs a large platoon size force. needing to keep hidden while completing objectives.

the vehicle phycis system is a thing of beauty! One day all games will be equal to this - I want to live forever :D

I actually think zed is less glitchy now. true i have been on the odd server where they seem frozen, so there is a bug there. they will attack if you run up to them, but otherwise nada. this is quite rare that they freeze tho. I would also confirm they are too easy. they seem deaf. they don't aggro so much from gunfire. I hope in the futre zed aggros from gunfire more. if they hear you moving they should turn around and investigate similar to tin cans throwing. if they see you they aggro. there are too many animals too, food is plentiful, i don't need blood bags. can we remove cows and sheep and make boar run around like rabbits? there's no challenge to get the food.

this just isn't true. The core game is totally unscripted. I think people are suggesting that this kind of random event, controlled through the central server happens on the odd server every few days.... eg very very rare. however, the promise of random shit happening and the stories that would emerge from them would keep people playing, even if they never happened to them. if done correctly, and random event could take place on the server you are on, and you wouldn't even be close enough to see it or take part. you may just hear the gunfire, or see something in the sky, but not get close enough before it was over. i whole-heartedly support very rare random events,

the obvious but correct answer, it depends what you want to use it for....

I take it you're american? I often wonder why when they remake good international films, they also plonk an "american mysteriously washed up on the shore of Chernarus", and it seems americans have such limited imagination that they can't get into any fiction unless it specificially involves them. I'm english and have no issues with game settings or characters that aren't familiar. shame. I heard that they were going to update chernarus, expand the borders as it isn't an island. hopefully replace many of the assetts, replace the buildings with all enterable ones. Maybe even expand cherno and electro to meet in the middle and make one huge city. However, part of dayz is the exploration, and if we continue to play on the same map in the year to come boredom will follow. So I hope they provide a choice of maps. Maybe you could move to the end of the map and spawn in a new adjacent map? Somewhere land locked in Southern Russia maybe?

I watched the video... no wait I've got it wrong haven't I.

What the title says really, after the first introduction, I haven't gotten ill yet, and I take no care whatsoever over my temperature. The other day it was raining and night, I was outside trying to find deer stands. No issues with temperature drop at all. Please make us think about the temperature more?

I guess it is my playstyle that I never drop temperature very much. I stay pretty active moving from loot to loot. I haven't found a sniper rifle for over a month either, so they will contribute. i think from dusk to dawn, when it tends to be cold in reality, and it rains, you should have to find cover after 5-10 mins or risk illness. hopefully it gets tweaked a little more to be less forgiving.

sigh. the only thing that is old and tired is imature people squabbling in forums, seemingly with nothing better to do. damn, and I just skimmed thru this pap.

well u can camp, just not in the rain (for too long)

agreed, I just prefer this for immersion. i wouldnt mind disconnect messages though.

if it is taking ages to load, try another server... it is just common sense.
