Cap'n (DayZ)

Ah, Musty Epoch. My favorite place to dress in the Rocker skin and run around offering bandages.

I'm not sure, I'm laying on the boundary between "acceptable" and "c0d kid". I'm saying that because the majority of people generalize by age. I'm still hitting the highs, but my voice is reasonable(the only forum member I know for sure who has heard me talk is Burt and Inception.). Now, Inception. is also fifteen. His balls have dropped and then some. Hell, if he never told me I'd guess he was 23. And even if MOST 12-13 year old kids playing this game may play death match servers, it doesn't mean they are all "c0d kids".

Alright, I've been thinking of saving up for a dedicated Steam OS pc to sit in my living room, and accompany me on trips over to friends houses. It's pretty simple, and I chose mostly new parts(and omitted the OS, as it's free ;) ). I'll also be able to Stream to it, so when I'm lazy or want to show my peasant friends the good life, I'll hook em' up on this. Also, I hope(HOPE!) that Bohemia ports Standalone and ArmA 3 & 2 over to the Steam OS. But if not, too bad. Anyways, post your possible build here. Here is mine: Hard drive: WD blue 500gb 16mb cache 7200rpm HDD GPU: Radeon R7 250X MSI OC Edition 2gb $90 CPU: Intel Core i3 4130 @ 3.4ghz, 54W $130 RAM: 4gb DDR3 1333mhz Crucial Ballistix $40 MOBO: ASRock Mini ITX H81 LGA 1150 $65 PSU: Coolermaster 460 Watt $40 Case: Coolermaster Elite 130 $50 Wireless adapter: Intel Centrino 6235 $30 With a keyboard and other shenangians, it comes out at $542 without tax. What do you think?

Probably not. If I was a big name guy in Valve, I'd call out EA for what they are. MONEY GRUBBING WHORES!

It's an art form, my friend. It goes back to the very beginning... December, 2012. Things were so simple then...

Hell yeah, that thing would practically kill the Xbone and PS4. Powerful as a 7870? Bullllllshittttt. I have one of those puppies in my tower, and snowballs chance in hell the peasants are getting that kind of power. But on topic, I think that a lot of people getting the Steam boxes and OS's with custom builds could potentially make a VERY real contender for the consoles. Decent games with low prices, and killer performance for not that much more. If people stop being cheap bastards and put their money into something they can upgrade and last a while, I think the gaming world might have a bright sunny future.

Any good SSD's for a cheap bastard like me?

I have a Thermaltake 750W SMART power. Served me fine, and the glassy eyed salesman buggered me into buying it(that, and my father practically forced me to buy everything he recommended. Also, he forced me to get a 8150 over an 8350. Cheapskate..). With my two little power hogs, the MSI 7870 OC edition(I've had fun with it :)) and the little engine that tries(the 8150, I really do appreciate it's effort. I do, I do). If my money wasn't managed by my father at the time(and it isn't anymore), I could have gotten a FAR superior rig. But still, the 8150 tries. It does, I'm shure it does.

I have a Logitech mouse @ approximate 1000dpi, corded, and came with the Logitech MK120 keyboard set. It's served me fine, and I've found it to be quite accurate in most shooters. It's not the highest end, but it does the job well. Ignore the lower sensitivity, and you have a very cheap approach(I prefer it over another Razer mouse that had plenty of fancy buttons and speeds).

You know what's funny? That song is really fucking big in the Czech Rep. Practically half of the comment section is in Czech.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXDPIscoSpY I thought of the greatest intro for the game(or maybe a movie adaptation written by yours truly? B) ). Ask me if you want to hear my idea.

I much prefer the 28 Days Later infected, as it seems much more plausible(as plausible as a "zombie" can get :P), and actually seems scary to me. Slow moving zombies aren't scary. Infected, rage filled people who want to crush your skull and bath in your liver fluids are scary.

They don't need an engine license because the engine is developed by Bohemia Interactive in house. Actually, a lot of assets and such are covered by Bohemia. One of the last decent game companies imho

These are some of the basic specs I've seen, but I've heard that they are only preliminary and a higher end rig may be required as the dev build isn't running large scale servers yet. CPU- i7 3930k GPU- at LEAST 2 780's, framerate may suffer without three HDD- 3tb, the game will use up a good 2.5tb. SSD- I heard loading takes about an hour, with an SSD. They've yet to try it with a hard drive. RAM- 16GB's minimum, still causes visual tears and such without an extra stick of four.

I steer clear of Epoch. The only mod I play outside of Vanilla is DayZero, and it's fairly tame with loot and vehicles. I can share that frustration sometimes, but you have to remember it's just a game. I was playing with some friends, when one of them drags on a friend of his. Annoying little prick NEVER stopped complaining. We found a Technical in DayZero, and attempted to take out a pedo van at Balota. He turns out to be a god awful gunner(PLAY ARMA PLEASE! YOU WILL BE MUCH BETTER! TRUST ME!), and the guys in the van jump out and snipe him off the truck. We were 15 meters away and he still couldn't hit it. And he blames me. He pretty much whined nonstop for the rest of the night, and broke his legs later on. We dropped him off at his Ural and asked for morphine, and we all told him we didn't have any. As soon as he leaves the TS, everyone admits to having two or more packs of morphine on them.

I can voice myself. It would add to the irony that a hulking muscle bound black man sounds like a hormonal teenage boy.

Everyone is pretty much dead.

Bone still scares me.

We'll try to fit as many people in as possible. Some will be background characters, some will have cameos, and some might just be there to get killed(all the forum bronies will die in the war). We can only write in SO many characters.

I see you've made changes. Fine with me. As long as people agree to write their own lines and maybe some to do voice acting, we'll be fine.

ArmA has some of the highest quality trees of any game. I can't see many games matching the sheer quality, fidelity, detail, or beauty of it's shrubbery. My favorite are the skinny pine trees with the funny tops(not the yellow ones), that are somewhat rarer. I see a lot near Skalka, Zelenogorsk, and around Stary and Krasnostov. Also what is the purple grass I find up North near Vybor and Skalka? I wish there was more of it, it looks cool.

Make: Crisp, colorful, detailed graphics that run good but don't provide advantages for players on lower settings. Tone down blur of post process, or force bloom and HDR High poly hands and bearable weapon holding animations(I hate everyone who doesn't admit that the hands in ArmA 2 are terrible) Extensive crafting that pertains to every loot able item within the game world Stick with Chernarus and the Armaverse with story, maybe connect the ArmA 2 campaign through clever easter eggs Less military bases and more residential loot Make all guns something to be cherished and used sparingly Make melee common and introduce Dead island-esque melee mechanics Break: Force everyone to play 1st person only Shitty graphics Postpone addition of cars and boats for elongated time Remove Utes from the sea Make guns and food a commodity as it is now Focus on less variety of weapons Remove the AKM

$30 USD, 40 would be max.

Funny, I get better frames than you... like 25-45 in cities/towns(Cherno 25, 30-35 in Kras, Zelen, Beren, and 40-45 in all other towns and airfields). I get 60 FPS in forests and plains outside of the city. My rig: Radeon HD 7870 2gb Twin Frozer AMD FX 8320 OC'ed to 4ghz 12gb DDR3 Kingston 1866mhz 1tb(2x 500gb) Seagate Barracuda ArmA is a strange beast indeed :P

Let's say that the survivor is a American tourist whose plane landed on Utes and takes a ferry to the mainland. Some time during the boat trip, the crew and passengers become infected and he is thrown off the ship. He washes ashore, unconscious and freezing.
