Zombies are not the undead, they are Infected as in 28 days later. They are living humans that have become rabid in some way, thats the reason why we can kill them with a (lot of) blows to the body or shooting them in the heart. For everything else keep in mind the zombies are currently placeholders as they work on the 'final' zombies. There's only a few spawning because the servers cannot currently handle the intended numbers without lagging out or blowing up.

I've still yet to play the Arma2 story, but was told it went as: Some factions of Chenarus wanted Independence from Russia and wanted to be more pro-West, Russia didn't like that and parked a few T-90s in front of the voting booths. NATO and the US put some pressure on Russia, and I think actually invaded Utes. From there one fireteam went rouge or something and landed on mainland Chenarus...I really need to play the story missions.

Most of this has been confirmed (and in one case confirmed as a big NO.) or is something they said they'ed like to do. I'd guess that 3/4ths of the items alone that have been modeled already haven't been added in for various reasons.

No, it's different, you will have to make a new account with the bug tracker that's separate from your forum account.

I think someone said changing your Steam Name resets your character, not 100% sure though.

Uh, yeah it might, you should probably change it. Showing a suicide (or homicide, hard to tell with that picture) would probably catch you more than a few reports.

Not Safe For Work. It was a joke about bondage porn.

Doubt that'd ever happen, but it'd be fun to see guys in press vests running around during clan battles with just cameras.

Id say cassette tapes/8tracks or even CDs. I'd love to be rolling down the coast road in a Skoda with some Red Army Choir blasting on it's speakers.

I'd like to see ingame cameras. Even in this day of screenshots and photouploads an ingame picture would be nice, especially for the 'end game' type of stuff like player bases or other recon. Maybe cameras with zoom lenses for thous that lack binoculars. I can see people having ingame mementos as well. Silly as it sounds, someone will kill a player with a camera and a protector case full of pictures of dead bodies without their pants on.

I'd link my hopes for the rope...but it's NSFW, and I'd like to keep my Warning Points at zero.

This'll be in eventually. Right now it's bugged where you actually get sick from treating your wounds.

Won't happen either. Technical reason: Players are much more complex than zombies texture wise, so every noob that suicides on the coast would overload the server with player zombies. Lore Reason: Zombies aren't dead/undead, players are immune to the virus.

Don't really think it's a 'hate' of western guns, it just makes more sense for there to more Russian made guns in a post Soviet country. And honestly there's not much indication of a recent war in the country in Chenarus+ even though there is a bit of a buildup of military forces (Balota and Zelenogorsk's Armored base).

For starters try verifying the game cache in Steam. While you wait for that hopefully others more knowledgeable than I can help you.

It is what the players make it, and sadly at the moment it is a Grief fest, at least in the 'popular areas'. Maybe later as things other than PVP are added and the KOSers get bored and move on we'll have a more civil game. Till then probably best you don't buy it. Also being a bandit isn't discouraged or encouraged. It's against the server rules because Dean (the guy who made/is making the game doesn't want to punish/reward one play style over another.

When you buy the Supporter Edition you get the Steam Codes for the games (DayZ and Arma Complete (I think thats the one), so you'll need Steam anyway.

Was going to say, the only way to 'fix' KOS is for Dean to go into the code and turn OFF PVP (everyone on one team, Friendly Fire:off)

Gear up? You do know this isn't WOW where you get your gear back after you die right? There'll be many character resets (both on purpose and bugs) between now and beta. Rules 1-4 of DayZ: Don't get attached to your gear.

Actually sounds like a pretty good idea. Not really as a means of stopping KOS but just a good idea generally (Not the spawn 20 zombies around a dead player thing). Gun fire alone will probably attract zombies, but if they 'smelled' blood in the air and went to investigate (not a full out mad dash for fresh food) that would be something.

Player Zombies will NEVER happen, not in any form. As already said above the zombies are infected living people, not the undead. In this game dead is dead, which is why a couple shots to the chest'll kill a zombie. Child Zombies are also confirmed as a no (don't think I read it in the OP but one of the other posts here, just thought I'd mention it). Zombie Lifecycles have been on the table for a while, I've not read much about what exactly that is but I refuse to get a twitter account or browse redit unless it's posted here as well. Zombie 'types' have been mentioned as well, but it would't be different types so much as Military zombies would be slightly harder to kill because they're wearing flack jackets.

There's dangers in 'doing it yourself'. Last time I had a simple blood test I went blind for a few mins and nearly passed out, and that was with a trained nurse doing everything. I had to fast for 12 hours and was very hungry. I can only imagine if you're low on blood, fumbling around, hungry and dehydrated with nerves shot to hell because of both zombies and bandits. I'm somewhat against being able to self bloodbag, but if it's ever implemented it shouldn't just be an 'I found an IV kit plus, now I'm full blood again.' The way I would do it is have it so you need to go to a hospital or medic tent or a clinic that has equipment in it. Then you have to sit down and go through the draw blood/insert IV animation and wait around 30 seconds for the transfusion/withdrawal to complete. Honestly blood bagging others should have it's own risks as well, mostly the chance of screwing up. How many of us (and by us I mean the untrained) can easily find the right vein to insert an IV into on the first try? How many of us even know we're suppose to insert the needle into the vein, not only that but how you insert the needle? I've seen it done hundreds of times in real life and probably could not replicate the act.

All thous mags are for the M4 or any future weapon that can take thouse clips. Mosin has an internal box mag, the revolver has optional speed loaders, and the .45 has only one type of clip.

It would be, from my understanding they couldn't really do random snow and have the snowfall stay put afterwards. They would need to make (copy) a new map and edit it for snow details, paint the ground with snowdrifts, ect.

It's been assumed that we the survivors (players) are about 1% or less of the worlds population that are immune to the zombie virus. My guess is that it's airborne, so anyone not immune is/has been infected, unless they're living in a submarine or a sealed bunker before the outbreak, but I digress. I hate to bring Walking Dead into this but the CDC episode really brings it into context. If only 1% of the world is Immune, lets say a handful of the immune are scientists with the appropriate fields for developing a cure. They would be few and far in between, more than likely lacking the resources to developed a cure. For all we know in the story some lucky bastard in Greenland could have found the cure, but the necessary reagents and ingredients are from Australasia, and he has no means of communicating the cure to the world or anyone who can make it. It'd just be to difficult to 'round up' all the infected (which while it might not seam like it in the alpha) that greatly outnumber us, cleaning them, feeding them, and waiting for someone to make the cure. And for all we know it might not be treatable, the virus could have done permanent damage to the brain, so they will always be violent monsters no mater what. It's a moral dilemma only until one's trying to kill you.
