not a bad idea, and actually if you go into editor mode you can run about as a zombie if you make them 'playable' xD MY GOD THE MONKEY Camera is ... interesting when they are doing that crouch run shuffle thing... lol otherwise, would be interesting if you could get a following of zombies and ambush people.. (you would still suffer the degrade over time thing that Rocket added.. so you would have to be somewhat quick) ALSO... being able to lead a pack around would provide ways to actually find zombies in the woods x-x (you outrun the 'older' ones and they just patrol around wherever they stop... or if/when you die or perhaps hit respawn.. they meander around)

Then it is a good thing that guy was crouched/standing! =P

that is a large assumption to make....how do you know that the OP had the same privileged socially acceptable AMERICAN schooling that you yourself acquired? For that matter... how do you know the person even speaks english as their primary language?! (which would make the post quite acceptable lol) they could be trying their best to provide their feedback/opinion in a language not of their own, and simply forgot to hit the enter button due to their natural language being read backwards or forwards or up or down! how many languages have you tried to learn well enough to post on a forum?! *cough* ...in closing... how do you know that the OP is old enough to have actually attended High School english lessons? =P ... ^_^ :D

... they could have simply added a 'are you sure you want to respawn? Yes, No' option to prevent fully geared accidents.as for spamming it till they got where they wanted to be... why is that bad? lol... if your trying to group up with a buddy in OATmeal... and you just spawned in kamenka.... you have either a good 30+ minute run... just to group up (and odds are you will be killed long before you make it there) or you can hit respawn and possibly see 'Elektro' or Cherno.. WOOT! you just saved yourself 30m or more... by using 1-3 minutes hitting respawn and reloading in. it does not provide a player with an 'unfair advantage' to keep respawning till they get near where they are hoping to be.... as everybody else can do the same thing lol...

having 'spawn with radio that = side chat' .. is an EASY fix... those who want the chat can keep their radios, those who dont... just drop it anywhere on the ground and to get another... kill someone! or find a spawn lol

they COULD make it easier by making the bolts lootable through the default loot menu... but no.. at the moment they must be found sticking somewhere random on the body, typically only accessible in 1st person... ... or the zombie landed on it and you never can get it (because you cant drag/move zombie corpses) +1 edit: Default CORPSE loot menu (it just adds itself to the bodies loot )

it would seem so!though an entirely different game with Vamps, wolves, zombies, the grinch. but with this sort of games setup could be entertaining UNLESS!! your meaning 'lulz yay for little/no twilight/vampire named survivors' in which case.... yeah ^_^ yay

I was with you till you said the forest ranger part.... starting with a gun (though I suppose if it did not come with ammo it might not be as good) of any kind.. let alone a hunting rifle (CZ... <3) is a little OP... even without bullets... THOUGH I WOULD LOVE THAT OPTION... and just have to find a clip xD... that would make my life that much easier. otherwise.. yeah.. beans given! (maybe hunter starts with a range finder... or a simple pair of binoculars!)

give them enough reason to look the other way and you will never have to watch your six xD (so far have two accounts, one that has ran through cherno/cities setting up random tents in open areas... and then logging outside the city so that they dont go poof when main dies) having a lot off tents in cherno/cities and then waiting in a secluded spot tends to keep me alive quite often. AND =P most people see a tent, and... cant help going to investigate ^_^

oo love that area lol.. 'back in the day' a buddy lived near there and ... yeah, would pick a random forest and start up paintball wars <3 as for servers to possibly play on... US 741 is a pretty nice one (to play during the west coast night) as it is like... 12 hours ahead or so.. basically from around 6pm to ... 5am pacific time it is daytime (if your a night owl) otherwise.. /shrug lol been mostly keeping to there (note, there is an anti-bandit clan SoH that ... purchased/rents out the server... so expect to die if your in town on their bandit hunting nights lol... or... to move to a different town/city.... but that is half the fun imo lol)

... what area? lol... (Puyallup, pierce county)

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ top left 'latest beta patch' start the download of that, and while it completes go to wherever you have operation arrowhead installed and right click the arma2oa exe and rename it to.. say... 'arma2oa -BACKUP' (can be anything at all really, just has to be different than normal) THEN actually start up the beta patch you just downloaded... run it, do what it says. THEN paste the long link/post at the end of the previous patch.. ^^^ AND try running it! (also you have to run arma 2 as COMBINED OPERATIONS or it wont work) aka right click Arrowhead in steam, select 'run combined operations' and GL! ALSO NOTE THAT IT IS ONE TOON PER CD KEY so... families beware!!!! lol (I actually bought 2 keys ... so i dont lose tents on main toons death lol) EDIT: i... dont actually use the six launcher so ... not sure there... but the above info works for me (SADLY... the old posts that 100% work... were wiped from existence when they moved to these new forums lol)

OOOH... west coast server... not... in game.. x-x was like 'O_O there is now a west coast in DayZ?!' =P GL to you!

O_O did you created the sub folder in Operation arrowhead C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\addons and unzipped the files from this website to that folder? (if you are not using steam.... not 100% sure what to do =P but willing to assist) IF YOU HAVENT.... go go and do so lol that is why! ^_^ also... a way to save time trying to join servers is wait for the list to load. and pick a random one(with low ping).. then use the UP/DOWN arrows to move around the list... if there is a giant red X near the server name... YOU CANT PLAY ... (it is a different version) ALSO once you install the addon files... go to your steam library, right click operation arrowhead, go to properties and 'Set Launch Options' and paste: -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@Dayz (which means you probably will need to install the beta.... will repost with that info lol... OTHERWISE just put in the ' -mod=@Dayz ')

yeah... and the fun of being ... absolutely NOWHERE NEAR CHERNO and going 'anybody in cherno' just to scare people xD ... and as a bandit it was actually FUN to see the 'OMFG WTH?' followed by lots of 'lulz, lulz, silly noob in cherno' or.. 'Bandit in cherno, careful' (which is really fun on the rare occasion you had a sniper that could shoot from well out of the town) and YOU saying 'omg guys he is in the grain tower (biggest building in Cherno... only access = one ladder) ... and either waiting for noobs to try and ambush a ghost... or people to reply 'ok We are moving in!' (clans) xD getting them caught on a ladder or in the wide open top was the greatest. I miss the chat.. to help make it fit more into the game could simply start all people with a radio... and they could drop it if they dont want chat, or keep it to have chat.
