with ArmA II: Combined Operations you get both ArmA II and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead in your steam games library.

Yeah, it is most likely just hackers coming onto the server trying to advertise fake hacks just to steal your GUID.

It seems like a hacker may have caused this, is the server a private hive or connected to the public hive?

You shouldn't feel bad, people die all the time this way. It could just as easily happen to you.

Somebody MAY have stolen your GUID then replaced it with a banned one. Unfortunately in this case you will have to buy ArmA II again, or wait for the standalone. You could appeal your ban with BattlEye I believe, but if you could they'd be getting 1000's of appeals per week. You'd be waiting months to get unbanned.

Yeah, that'd be great. I haven't had that script restriction ever, but if I randomly get it I'd like to know how to fix it.

Are you sure they aren't private hives?

Haha, yes welcome to DayZ. If you see that message constantly, reset your game. If it continues to not work, either wait for the screen to go away or make sure you're using the right DayZ version and ArmA II beta patch version.

If direct chat isn't working 9/10 times is because it's running a different version of ArmA beta patch. e.g. I'm running beta patch 99515 and the server is on beta patch 99153, you may be able to type in direct.. however I cannot voice chat in direct. I suggest making sure you've updated your ArmA beta patch to the server version, the version is usually in the name of the server. By checking the brackets which include (<DayZ version>/build <beta version>). If you have the right beta patch it's almost certain direct chat will work once again. DayZCommander is a very good program for easily changing your beta patch. Also make sure your microphone settings are correct in your ArmA settings, volume is correct, make sure you're using the right push to talk button. Try resetting the game also, the game may not be registering that you're in the direct chat radius for some odd reason.

But unfortunately no one here can help you with a global ban. So sorry..

If you can obtain your GUID you can find out here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/73844-community-banlist/ The ban number, as far as I'm aware of, means nothing.

If it's a global ban chances are slim that BattlEye will unban you, at least before the standalone release (Do not ask about when it's being released). I say wait for standalone or buy ArmA II: OA again. Edit: It's possible your GUID has been stolen and replaced with a banned one, so make sure you haven't downloaded anything that could be classified as suspicious... especially addons to DayZ like hacks. If this is the case you will need to buy ArmA all over again and be more careful.

Hahaha, go away.

hahahaha! this is good.

I'd say you're quite lucky.. considering a gillie suit spawn is a 0.28% chance.

Best bambi killing sniper spot ever.

ahh.. What sort of website is that??

Well said. But this is funny haha..

I think because of our field of view is about half the size of real life in DayZ, I think that third person is necessary to make up for that.

Another add on to the suggestion could be the possibility to actually rub mud, dirt and walk through brushes that have leaves with a distinctive smell to the zombies and the zombies could be tricked into thinking you're just part of the land ultimately stopping detection.

Hence the reason why I said the zombies run off instinct, much like a shark. A shark will smell blood and automatically go to that location because that is instinct, if a shark smelt soap I'd assume it wouldn't go towards it because it lacks the ability to make conscious decisions much like a zombie. But of course I'm not shark expert, there is always a possibility that the shark would go and see just because it is curious as to what the smell may be.

I wouldn't know of your pain, but I'm just going to ask now. You'll see my post soon. (: Just joking...

I'd agree with Rage VG. It's too much of a risk if it's a possible exploit to grief.

This is fantastic!
