Rather odd, however, in 1.7.1, I have found an MP5A5, some sort of Machine Pistol (Started with a P), an AK47, and more, all within Elektro. I thought military equipment only spawned within military bases? These were in that sort of... well, I don't think it was a radio tower, it had three huge gates, as well as the tower on one end, with 4 or 5 floors.

I like it, so far. I think Melee would make it amazing. If possible; allow the flashlight to be used as a melee weapon. It is pretty big. It's been intense so far though, I like it. A bit tough at night time. My only worry is, when it FIRST came up, I saw at least 12 people on a server talking about how they were glad the "newbies couldn't defend themselves" now, as they planned to kill them, for no reason.

Uhm, I read that the newest beta-patch causes some script error thing (Not the whole, banning for scripts lol..), and they say to use an older one. Once 1.7.1 releases, will I be able to use newest? Also, does the newest beta-patch (I know its not a DayZ problem) fix the issue with shaders at night?

lol, "Call of Dutyer", noob, carebear, and "WoW Clone" are all like, internet keywords. You can't go a day without seeing them someplace. The simple fact is, people get tired of the bitching, and rather then insulting the person directly, and getting in trouble, they make up some stupid excuse about them coming from call of duty, or something. Which, by the way, is honestly OK, for what it is. An arcade-shooter with military skins. All the same, I had ArmA II well before DayZ (Though, I didn't have OA yet). I played a fair bit, as I love realistic military sims/games. On the subject at hand though, I really do think the people complaining about death does get overwhelming, but calling them out BECAUSE, or because you THINK they play certain games, is just silly. Let them like what they like, and you like what you like. Be civilized people, you may be anonymous, but there's no reason to be a buttmunch. Buttmunches.

I had uhm.. Suggested a few things. It was mostly just things the game needs, over actual game mechanics though, and I'm pretty sure Rocket is already planning to work on it. My main ideas, were, simply more group mechanics. Maybe Engineering (Building), and Medical systems that aren't dependent on a stat, but experience. Same with cooking, make them complex, but make them work in a way where they wont be HORRID if you don't know how to do them (OR make them REALLY slow automated, or something). We really need more reason to work with others. I also think Factions (Or at the very least, maybe a decal we can put on clothing, or custom colors?) could be good. I've been wanting to start an anti-banditry legion on a server (Yes, I know, i'm going to die. A lot). However, it's a bit silly, when you can't tell we're the "police".

Thank you for the fast answers!

And uhm. What about the CO question? I already paid for Arma 2, will buying Arrowhead make it so I have CO? Or do I need to buy the full CO?

Well, I'm purchasing AO (So I can CO, being I have ordinary Arma 2). That will in fact, make it so I have CO, yes? Also, I am wondering if my computer itself is strong enough to run on the highest settings with bearable fps: I'm running two GeForce 560ti 1GB cards, in SLI. I have an i7, at 3.34GHz cpu. 16GB of Ram (2000MHz I believe) I suppose for this system question; I can just wait to see how it runs, then upgrade. But it'd take a lot less time if I can order it now, being I can't order either until the 1st.
