I'd love to see more islands personally. The overall map is more sea than land (currently in the present mod). Fill it up with a bit more landmass!!!

Wondering how so many players can jump onto games of Battlefield, CoD or any other great shooter .. and not somehow explode in rage because it isn't in 1st person. "It makesth me nauseous dude". Lame. Simple fact is this game offered an easy mode to begin with. You can't take it back unfortunately. If it had never existed this game would still have been a hit; Arma players promoted this after all: )How can you teenagerage-quit over a feature that never existed in the first place? Saw a comment on Reddit that I liked... the guy to paraphrase said that the whole point of the Arma engine was in cover (a rock that stops bullets) and concealment (a fucking bush). Being able to observe other players, whilst totally obscured using 3rd person when they can't see you, is frankly pathetic: Teenagers like unfair, but most adults like their games on a level playing field. And that is the crux of the argument. 3rd person is simply unfair. All the other pish counters about nausea (wrong; or you were bullied at school, probably quite rightly), FOV (fixable - and the mildots don't go that off ffs) and it's "more realistic" (Jesuz titty fuckin Christ) are completely invalid. At least some server owners will run 1st person. They also like to switch off the girly aids like crosshairs and nappies/diapers and nannies and other wank. DayZ is perfectly suited to 1st person, and it will be moreso given the SA's focus on authentic realism. Be nice to give the zombies 3rd person view just to piss off the kiddies. Anyway... fuck it.

KoS - lol. Any other player out there is a threat. When you see the presence of another player, whether visually, or spawned in zombies, or hearing gunshots in the distance you damn well go to high alert. Why? Because they are a threat to you (and your group). You either drop that player or evade. In some rare situations you may well NOT choose to kill another player, and vice versa. Those interactions are what makes this game so special. Note the word 'rare', but they do happen and are truly memorable.

That was great - but you can never subdue the dew.

CCO. MK 48 is a blast in close quarters combat; but med range, unless you're prone with it it'll shoot all over the place. It's not that accurate after the 1st shot. I'll always choose the CCO (just seems really crisp shooting the thing) over a MK 48 unless I'm in a support gunner role with my squad. On my own.. naw. Also remember that thing is a zombie magnet. Mind you, it'll destroy said zombies, but do you really want to go to all that effort? Also M16 mags are plentiful and found all over the joint. A SAW however I would take over both the CCO and Mk 48. That's my beans worth. *Edit* btw here's a really good shopping comparison site: http://dayzc.de/weapons.php

Saw the leaked classified footage. I'll comment based on that without giving anything away honest: 1. If zombies are still attacking through walls and walking under houses, then that'll be really bad. EVEN though it's an alpha you will be eviscerated by the yapping hoard (players and media). 2. Get the zombie animations and pathing working better, even badly - show us work has been done on it. EVEN though it's an alpha you will be eviscerated by the yapping hoard (players and media). 3. Good luck - sure it'll all turn out good! EVEN though it's an alpha you will be eviscerated by the yapping hoard (players and media).

You got shot in the chest with a AKM "so i was bleeding". LoL.. Just how arcade has this game become? Were you playing on a server with crosshairs by any chance? If so, don't complain.

20 players on pretty much constantly, setting up houses/bases. Server updates: * 4 Hour day night cycle fixed. * BE Scripts updated. * Combat timer Fixed. * Can now gut animals. * Can now self blood bag.(!!!)

Hackers - imagine the weedy looking guy that you bullied at school. That's him. Payback's a bitch.

Agreed, but I always find it painful to suggest that to people as decent gear isn't cheap. Core i5, Z77 mobo and Nvidia gtx 660 say for a good gaming experience costs a lot of wonga. We've all been skint once or twice. Something to save up for though :)

Just wondering.. are you guys that are developing the mod mimicking the direction that Rocket and his team are going? i.e More survival and less Gucci gear? Don't blame you, but are you being directed to go in that direction to 'ease us in'? I want the high end stuff kept (but much rarer).

Bollocks. They are. Only the wankers shoot with AK's in the movies. Rambo wouldn't be seen dead shooting from the hip with a PKM. If he did he'd run out of dialogue and start walking into walls. Most of us that play are in the Western hemisphere. We want our guns to be trick and not based on some crap that was lifted from der Nazis just after WW2; also we're really not that hot about the wood effect veneer that you and your Eastern Euro Progressives favour on your rifle butts. We want our Americana; we want plastic rifle butts, leather effect recliners and thumping music. You don't do any of that in Eastern Europe.

Picking up momentum. There's a market out there for 1st person merc servers after all.
