BIS originally intended Arma 2 to support this out of the box but they dropped it before releasing - probably because of some of the reasons you stated (two handed weapons in banking helicopters). If they implement it in SA, which would be very cool then shouldn't it be possible to shoot at any occupant while inside the vehicle? I'll be driving around playing Garbage, I think I'm paranoid! :P

This should definitely be added. Even the big fuel tanks don't hurt you if you set them on fire. If your fuel source wasn't completely dry to begin with then yes, otherwise no.

Hehe, that gives me an idea: there's an ambient noise in the cities where a rusty gate opens. If they were to add other noises to that, they could add a chainlink fence rattling in the wind. When I first started playing I didn't realise the gate opening was ambient so I always thought there was someone around me until I heard it in Arma as well.

I wouldn't be soundless but I bet I could get over it with less noise than you'd expect.

Climbing over it would be even better as it takes less time but I wouldn't mind this. Your suggestion reminds me of the game Commandos, there was an engineer character who could do that :)

Arma does not like those CPU's I think: http://forums.unitedoperations.net/index.php/topic/13152-amd-fx-cpus-and-arma-2/ The OP in that thread does seem to get better results by fiddling with some AMD settings so maybe that could help?

I believe MaxFramesAhead can't go lower than 1 and Arma overwrites the other value everytime you run it but never reads it. I read that on the BIS forums when I was tweaking my own setup.

Shame you didn't record it, I would've loved to see that

Yes it does. It's one of the more annoying features in Arma. There's also a mod called NoBlur by Okt I think that disables it so you can have the rest of the post-processing in case you should want that.

I dont, I'm too busy being scared and running away

I play lone wolf because I can't shake the distinct feeling that I still suck at this game and run around like Captain Obvious all the time. Teaming up with other players would probably mean certain death for them plus the only thing I'm good at is flying helicopters and finding working boats.

If people keep killing each other at the rate they do now, there might be a chance that we'll never see anything fixed beyond bikes :)

If these are tied to your in-game GUID, whenever your character respawns he has 'your' knowledge so you pick up where you left off skill-wise. Having to 're-learn' skills would suck ass as much as fetch quests. I would be OK with having to learn certain steps to complete tasks sort of like the recipe-system. That way, if I memorize that shit I can do it when I need to.

I like the idea but I think the only way this would work if DayZ would incorporate biometric feedback from your own body while playing it. That would be pretty sick and the game could even determine wether your morale goes up when you're killing :P -edit Thinking about it, this would not work. It leaves room for even bigger exploits. Watching extremely funny shit on the side that makes you laugh everytime you see it saves you whenever morale is low, so does doing drugs and what not. When I play drunk or stoned I'm laughing my ass off when I get shot because I'm way less into it then when I'm sober.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but a razor as a bayonette wouldn't really work I think as those are made for stabbing which is basically impossible with a razor. Also, using toiletpaper to securely attach that? The molotov-cocktail is a good idea, probably already suggested before but still, being able to blaze up the place would be very cool.

That I can agree to. For raw foods that could also be cooked or otherwise prepared, this would be a nice addition. Eating raw meats frequently gives you a higher resistance to the diseases they carry so your body has an easier time fighting off infections thus regaining health faster. You should still be at risk of catching an infection though, just a smaller chance.

Why not make things go 'faster' as you do them more instead of locking away abilities for higher levels? Where appropriate, you might obtain more items of what you're trying to acquire or use less of them. I would imagine a skilled hunter being alot faster at gutting animals than a first-timer, he might also be able to get some more meat off the body. Same thing with fixing engines, it is NOT impossible to fix something you have never encountered before, it will just take more time and might cost some more parts due to trial and error. The only thing I really can't agree to is regenerating more health from the same food because you have more experience eating it? Perhaps that's not what you meant, in which case forget I mentioned it.

I don't know what your problem is but I don't even play that game. If the DLC for DayZ turns out to be free, all the better but if not, I won't mind paying for a good map if the price is reasonable. If new features for your car / pc / whatever crap you ever bought with the capability to be expanded come out, you don't go running to your dealer getting that for free now do you? edit And sometimes you do get that new ish for free, that's when you got lucky. edit yet again changed upgraded to expanded because it makes more sense, we're talking landmass here

And I'm gonna double post, just wanted to get the above of my chest after reading the reply above it. I don't think it's that crazy to expect future maps to be paid for. Unless Rocket and BIS decide to give us access to the editor, there's going to be money involved in creating future content. I could also be entirely wrong, if BIS treats this as a 'fun' project like the ones Google cut back on it might be funded with whatever they can spare and we reap the benefits :D

I don't know why the first three replies are negative or why the game I shall not name was mentioned. If I get his post right, he's merely saying that maybe future maps for the stand-alone could be paid DLC.

I think she actually looks better without the make-up but i do concur with your statement :D The only window Dean and BIS are missing is the one I'll jump out of if the stand-alone is never released. Patience is not a sin people!

Whoever whines about Dean being unprofessional going to Everest before releasing is a bit selfish imo. Like most of us, you're probably dreaming of playing SA just as Dean dreams of climbing that mountain and you're telling him to shove his so you can live out yours? And comparing the two, which do you deem more impressive, playing a computer-game or some real life-or-death action? Plus, his last paragraph from that interview basically summed it up, once the client-server architecture works they'll put out what they have now. It would have been nice if it was posted on the forums here before ending up in an interview but as long as word gets around, I don't really care. I wish him all the best and hope he comes back in one piece :)

The only thing I hope they add is being able to climb over a wall and if possible, add a peek-option so you can pull yourself up just a little to see what's beyond in first person.

Trying moving your mic a little bit further away from your mouth. I stopped watching after 5 seconds because I don't like people blowing in my ears :) Have some beans!

Yes it does. It's under Settings, you can also tell it to launch through Steam from there. And it's always better to have less stuff running in the background.
