The game Arma2 itself is such a nice sandbox itself for community modders, so many great mods were released in the years and DayZ wont be the only good mod now and in the future...no worries, you bought a great game.

Before I could post this the other thread got closed: Someone was saying he gets bored: I wonder if people only playing DayZ or also other features of the game Arma 2 ? The game offers so much content offline and online. I could not play only DayZ for weeks, it is just one mod of many others. I dont think the game shows the human nature, it currently allows a gameplay of anonymity without any restrictons and supports a gameplay of the crowd who loves griefing. It supports also a more ruthless gameplay of the younger ones who still need to learn to accept rules and behaviours of people of a society in real life. But everyone got slowly sucked up into this. Reading some sentences from the other thread, where someone is reflecting ingame expiriences with human players to the real life....you should step back a bit, since people are not only different in games but also often different in the whole internet in comparison to the real life. DayZ is a harsh game due to permadeath in combination with the current gameplay style. After release of DayZ, only a very small part did actually kill other players on sight and there were many players who did group up, this changed after the masses discovered the game. Bandit skins were introduced because the game changed into a Deathmatch chaos, Iam not sure why it got removed again...but here we are again and I dont think this will stay like it is with future patches. I think rocket gets enough infos about his expriement and will draw conclusions about the further game content, take it easy all and make a break from DayZ if you feel bored or uncomfortable. Like I say said, DayZ is only one mod of many other gameplay types of Arma 2...just look around.

Why is this posted in the new player forum section ? Such loot maps take away a big part of the game content and fun, especially for beginners. Exploring is a big part of the gameplay. I mean you can post it, but especially newbies should not use such a map at the beginning, playing like it is not intended.

This pdf guide includes the ACE mod, which is not included in DayZ (i.e. wind).

You have to be sneaky in this game too....learn at what distance you can pass by and what situations you better avoid. If you have just a pistol...aim for the head if possible. Watch the indicators for noise....Zombies can hear you.

Aim for the head and they drop fast...

Ah! That's very very helpful. Thank you very much :D You are welcome, best is to join some Arma 2 multiplayer games to train your sniping abilities since in DayZ you are limited with ammo and with less player targets.

Thats the pain when a game draws too much attention, Arma 2 had not that many hackers before in multiplayer games. Hope they are finding a way to prevent these hacks which are spreading currently.

Many of the mentioned "bugs" are actually no bugs at all...just annoying features.

When I think about it, pepper spray would be cool aswell against some outlaws ingame...

This is just a recording of a real life radio transmission. Ingame the radios can be used to trigger an event or used for some of the great radio communication mods.

Just a warning to beginners, any seperate maps and especially loot maps will destroy a big part of the excitement the game offers. Do this for your own risk, since exploring is a huge part of this Arma 2 mod. Dont play it like an mmorpg, it is a survival game with a big exploring factor...

These hackers actually give input for cool game content ideas.

Maybe login with the forum name which did create the thread, since this is your first post on the forum ? :D But maybe you did miss the permadeath in the forumz here.

Why Arma 2 Free with low textures ? He should try the Arma 2 trial with full texture content to see if his system can run it
