Yeah, aborting would definitely need to be disabled.

Yes, but they would still have to be pulled down over your eyes, Which does take time. That's what I meant.

I remember suggesting this a while back, but for all items. Maps, compasses, hold up your wrist for your watch, better eating/drinking animations, all of these would be great. Oh, and no instant-NVGs. Have them take time to equip.

Yeah, I like it. Maybe have the odd .50 cal or M240 functional on a gun, but that might be a bit OP in cities.

Official servers might be the solution.

I don't really think there's much you can say against batteries, but correct me if I'm wrong.

You obviously don't watch Deadliest Warrior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj7LNbCxsxk Sorry about the awful quality, it was the only video of it I could find. Skip to about 0:55 for the action.

They're not easy to find. It's fine to have 3rd person, but it seems like you're defending the exploits of it, which are definitely a bad thing. It's the reason everyone is able to camp on rooftops in Cherno, they can see everyone and everything while completely unexposed. The ability to see things that you shouldn't be able to should be removed, either by some solution that Rocket thinks is acceptable, or by removing 3rd person entirely, if necessary.

Double-tapping - gives you a wider field of view than 3rd person already.

I put the word in quotation marks to show that I was quoting others' opinons, and not stating my own. Maybe 'issue' or something would have been a more appropriate word, I was just pointing out that while people will probably always use third person chat, no matter what the devs do, but third-person is a simple design choice. People know there's not really much that can be done about skype and teamspeak (as far as I know), but they know 3dp can be changed easily, so they're asking for it. It's just the more realistic request. I don't think third person needs to be taken out, but there's so few first person servers, and I would like to see a change to that.

It's an interesting idea, but I still don't think it will make everyone happy. Beans anyway, because it's original.

I generally play alone, and don't use the teamspeak server of the server I play on. If I play with friends, I would be fine with a decent radio system, and if something can be done to prevent third party chat, I'm all for it. The problem is, people won't play at a disadvantage when other people don't. I'm just saying, one 'problem' can be changed, one can't. Furthermore, I think the reason there are so few FPV servers around is because there is an option for third person. Just look at how widespread the 'Start with gun + 500 vehicles' servers have become with. I would be fine with people having third person as long as you can't see things you shouldn't be able to, but if that were the case I think way less people would bother to use it anyways.

The abuse of Third-Party chat doesn't justify third person being in the game. And third person can be easily changed, but third party chat can't be. No need to generalize and insult anyone. And Dallas, it's really not easy to find playable first-person servers.

Ahhhhh that's brilliant. I guess the one problem is that people wouldn't really react to injuries and whatnot. If you were knocked down, what would you do to get your character to stand if you're already standing? Also, sitting down (eg in a car) might be a little tiring if you're standing in mid-air. And I'm sure there's quite a few other problems like that. What I do like is that more people would be walking instead of running across Chernarus without vomiting everything. Mind-controlled virtual reality games, I think, will be the future.

Love it. Parachutes should be a one-use item, too.

Regarding armbands/headbands, I think an ingame kit that allows you to upload an emblem to a piece of clothing would be good, and maybe easier to implement than creating armbands from scratch.

Maybe shoes with a detachable suppressor? I think there are going to be different types of shoes in the SA, so I could see this happening.

I would like every piece of headgear to have a visual effect. Hats with visors would block a bit of your visibility, but prevent a bit of glare.Gas masks would give a bit of an overlay like in ACE. Slight tints from different glasses, whatever.

Like I said, a store bought katana will break cutting through a 2 litre bottle. Let's add more practical weapons, maybe a katana that has a 90% chance of breaking and doing no damage, just as a cruel trick for new players. :3

I agree with the other responses, death is the end for that character. Nothing carries over. Also, I think a ban from that server until the body is hidden(Actually, I don't like the hide body function) or despawns would be A+. Allows the world to evolve without you for a little while, and you can't get your stuff back easily.

Aw, man, that's not correct... Anyways, the standalone map seems to be pretty much done, if something like this isn't already in it I doubt it will be anytime soon. Also, the survivor camps would be up to the players, not the Dev Team.

I once saw a video of a guy trying to cut through a 2 litre bottle of liquid with a store bought sword, and the sword breaks... I can't seem to find it, though.

How about these things?

Like I said, I don't think .50s should be in the game. And if you have experience driving a tank, then I'll believe you. But the fact is that there are civilian jobs flying a helicopter, but none that require driving tanks. In general, this game shouldn't be handling military equipment like tanks. Leave that to ArmA.
