It seems like a pretty cool idea, with the right scripting and balance it'd be very good!

Alright, so, I updated to this most recent 1.7.2.5 patch, and everything was working great. Was all good. Then, my gaming community hosts a server, and I was going to play on it, and I forgot that they were still on the 1.7.2.4 patch, so I had to downgrade. I kept backups of the old patch, so I simply just overwrote the files from the newer patch, so that I could play. As soon as I logged on, I began to expirience -terrible- FPS lags. Like, I would walk a few feet, normally, then the game would just hang for about six seconds, afterwards allowing me to move again for a brief amount of time. I began to troubleshoot myself, first, I lowered all of my video settings to the lowest they could be, ended all background programs, things like that. I thought, eh, it may just be because I already updated the patch before this, so I just decided to fuck it, and then switched back to the newer patch. Then, when I went to play on that patch, it began to do the same FPS glitch. And it isn't a specific server, because even on the main menu, it would run for a few seconds, and then hang. And it just started doing this, after I switched to the 1.7.2.4 patch, and is still doing it after I switched back to the 1.7.2.5 patch. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

If a zombie breaks your leg, and they definitely could break your leg, and you were in a zombie apocalypse, with damn near no supplies, and no civilization, say good bye my friend. /noagree

I know that I can put my Arma II: CO on both my desktop and my laptop, and it plays fine. But, as for playing with your brother at the same time, online, with you, that I think you may get in trouble for. If you are going to be playing at separate times, I think you'll be okay.

I try helping people too, but it's gotten to the point that I have trouble trusting anybody I see, it seems to me, like what gameplay is right now, it's kill or be killed.

Wow, if I were you and found a car....Never would die again....

I have the exact same issues, please fix it developers.

Weird that you'd say that. This is a first person game, and you don't have to stare at anyones backside except others. And that, my friend, you have no choice.

For the bag thing, I have no clue. But I know for a fact that dead bodies only stay around for about fifteen minutes before they despawn. It's in the changelog somewhere, I could find it for you if you want.

Good idea I read in here, that I agree with, is to log people that bypass using a /quit or a logout fuction, and just like, go to CTRL+ALT+DEL in order to leave the game to bypass a ten, to fifteen second wait time. This will give people enough time to do the job.

I have an Intel E8500 Dual Core CPU, 3.17 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForece 8800 GT video card. Not exactly sure where that ranks on the scale, but I think I'm okay.

I think it depends on where you shoot them, like if you shoot them in the head, they would die faster than you shooting them in the leg, and the distance and what you're shooting them with, all of these have to do with it. But, no, they don't always die with one blow.

I think I'd be cool to have snow, make the hardships different, and make different obstacles in your way, stuff like that. But client-wise, I don't believe it's possible. Maybe in Arma III. We can only hope.

I like this idea. I think it'd be cool, especially it you're one of the people that go out in the northwest, and try to get away from the zeds and other players, would be good to have some sort of way to cure disease up there. But, to make it more interesting, there could be berries, like in real life, that are poisonous, and could harm you, same with the roots and plants, could be weird form of poison ivy or something, just to addon to your suggestion.
