THE_BURNDOWN

Getting a car is already quite easy. This game needs to be harder... It's easy to get an AS50 and vehicles in a week.

I don't understand you people saying "you die, you lose it all". If you have a team or a tent, nope. (-> this is also why this safe loot saving area is not needed)

This would just make the infected commit suicide. But it would be cool to have players living on human flesh. A whole new level of being a bandit.

How about zombie animals? How cool would that be? Animals attacking you out of nowhere,

I don't get what you mean. You want the zombies to have more skins? That's probably happening, but it doesn't really affect anybody's gameplay. I like how they're going to all spawn at restarts.

I'll never listen to it the same again... not sure if I should thank you or not. "Oh, pilot of the storm that leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again Like the dust that lufts high in June, when moving through Kashmir." Holy duck.

I'd go around deer stands in one long trip, and look for helicrashes at the same time -> all kinds of best weapons, ammo and equipment in the game. Because, you know, there's not much of a reason to visit NWAF. I used to go there, but there rarely spawns anything nearly as good as stuff at heli crash sites. Then again, they have great dangers on highly populated servers, being at flat plains. I usually run with my worst gun in the north for minimal risk and usually drop it when I find three cooler weapons. So, deer stand circuits are a good and relatively safe option.

Seems like a good idea, but the radio broadcast should not have clear coordinates. Just the info that there is a heli- or planecrash could be enough, or maybe give very rough information such as "We're a Huey at 03/09*, attempting an emergency landing soon!" in the side chat. Then the Huey crashes somewhere around the given position, but not often directly in the given coordinates. Maybe a bit further away. Plane crashes would be far further off. One idea is also that the chopper/plane landing was (at leat almost) a success, but the crew didn't manage to escape the zeds, and they're laying dead next to the damaged but repairable chopper, and the zed are eating them. This would be rare, and the crew would have camo suits, radios and such as loot. *Green mountain coords

I'd really like forcing someone to surrender as that takes care of the question of shooting or not shooting. I mean, when you have a better gun than someone and even see them first, you could just tell him to hit the surrender button or die. Lowering their gun, turning away and such are ineffective, as they can still turn around or raise the gun quickly. Then again, dropping the gun can make it disappear.

Up close the textures can look nice, but further away, nope. From far enough can also look sweet, though, but the draw distance is not enough (I blame the optimization for that). BF3 has superior graphics with much less performance cost, but then again the maps are relatively small compared to Arma 2 and have 2D sprites on the map edges. Also the texture pop-ins are very annoying sometimes. Pop, trees a mile away, pop, more grass right at your feet. CPU lag is another annoying thing near cities, but luckily it's getting fixed for the standalone.

I think he just needed antibiotics, I could have traded some to a good primary

I've seen one really close to Cherno, on a small plain. I guess those places become real deathmatch sites

We have map markers already, and once I picked up a map from a dead guy whose map had a marker in it, so most of that part is done already (if anyone would be stupid enough to mark his tent). Loot a map, get his treasure. Instead of gold coins, you just get AS50s and NVGs, vehicles etc. I already see a YouTube video coming about this.

Yeah, I didn't know people still do manual installs, as there seems to not be a single downside in using Commander.

Yes, just install the games from steam and use commander to get the mod. All you need.

You put everything else than the HDR on normal, you know that will eat your FPS in cities right? If I remember correctly, Normal uses the CPU and not the GPU, while the game is anyway causing lag in cities even with a damn i7... (it is CPU lag, I've seen it by monitoring my GPU temps, they don't get very high during the lag)

I ran to debug plains wondering if there's a city nearby. Needless to say, I didn't find one, got back and later got killed by zombies.
