What I hope they do in the standalone is give players to leave the civilization and explore the deep wilderness (poacher camps, for example). Of course, because you aren't in danger of zombies or players, there needs to be another type of danger out there. More psychological/mental danger. Perhaps an "evolved zombie" who is sentient, camoflauged, and fucking terrifying at times? Anybody who has read the book "Cell" knows what I'm talking about.

Does anybody know what happens? I'm afraid to try it myself.

Frequently. I'm a big fan of the helicopter and sniper missions, when the game isn't crashing/freezing/stuttering (which no other games I have tried do).

Didn't I watch a video EXACTLY like this encounter today? An unarmed man in a ghillie suit who can drive vehicles and phase in and out of existence? Although the video I was watching was in Kameka, not Mountain That Must Not Be Named. He appears to be the Slenderman of Chernarus!

I got mad after being eaten by rocks on my 6 day old solo character, that was decked out and had his own personal ATV for a campsite. In my rage, I spawned on the shores of Cherno. After finding 6 jerry cans in the same area (I managed to fit them all on my person with 2 slots left to spare), I picked up an Axe and ran down the streets of Cherno to aggro every zombie in the city. 60 zombies later, I make a beeline for the fire station in which I plan to fight to the death in a glorious standoff. As I run down the highway with 60 zeds trailing me, I see a head poke out of the firestation. He is a guy with an M1014 and an ALICE backpack, looking fairly prepared. Looks like a won't be getting my blaze of glory. But then he yells at me over direct: "I got a shit ton of ammo! I'll help you! Bring it on!" Not rationally thinking and my hands shaking, I hack his legs off and he falls down with a depressed sigh. He gets eaten by about 20 of the zeds while I pick up an AKM with 60 bullets and go batshit crazy. Poor guy, he was willing to help in the face of impossible odds all to help a stupid noob running down the street with an axe. I did actually come out on top and got 54 kills with 7000 blood loss. But a guy gunned me down shortly thereafter. I wonder what he did with the jerry cans...

Drinking Mountain Dew? On top of GREEN MOUNTAIN? Son, let's not do anything rash here. If you do that, who knows what horrible powers you could unleash upon the world.

Please. ARMA 2's engine is probably the worst I have ever played. It is borderline broken. Anyone arguing that it is the most realistic doesn't realize you could create this level of realism with most engines today.

Not sure if actually Hutch...

Just a quick question so I can play DayZ with Steamchat now that I have a group going. When I want to play DayZ, I have an icon from the ARMA 2 OA folder (the beta launch icon) with this target line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash If I go to Steam > Games > Arma 2 OA > Properties > Launch Options, what do I put in to get that exact same launch configuartion? Thanks in advance.

How about "zombie spray". You spray zombie pheromones (or whatever) on you to mask your scent. It lasts for 2 minutes or so, and unless you are within 3m of another zombie, you can move freely around them. Very rare spawn in Residential/Farm areas.

Killing hackers and then disconnecting before they can respawn and do something about it. :D

I hope you don't come back.

I found a Mountain Dew, M249, M9 SD, and Compass/Map/GPS only 30 minutes after spawn on a dead guy, and BattlEye said "NOPE" and kicked me. I don't have them anymore. :(

Satire is a dying art. Have my beans.

I managed to find a server which had sidechat enabled, and even though it negatively impacts the "hardcore realistic" aspect of the game, it was much funner to play. Hackers were generally less griefy, pretty much all the players were friendly (bandits were open about their intentions), and it really got rid of the boredom who get when traversing 5km of woodland. I don't really care if it isn't what DayZ was going for, I enjoyed it alot more. Does anybody know of any servers with sidechat enabled? If you do, list them here.

I accidentally found one (US 100 server) that was fun for awhile. Although after a "griefer hacker" started destroying the place, it has been pretty empty. Anyway, thanks.

If you are bored of picking off people from 500m with your thermal sighted L85A2 in your ghillie suit, so you can loot their body and fill up your 20th tent, I have a challenge for you. For anybody, really. Required Gear: Civilian/Camo Clothing Crowbar (duh) Crossbow Glock 17 Lots of Morphine/Painkillers (like HEV suit) Character with Reading Glasses + Goatee Playstyle: No killing other survivors unless they attack you first No voicechat, you are mute Don't actively avoid zombies, kill em all! Kill all those that have turned on humanity Optional: GAZ, Skoda, or Hatchback vehicle Female character companion with a PDW and Shotgun M136 Rocket Launcher See how high you raise your humanity and how many zombies you can kill before you bite the dust! :D

I could see how this could be a problem. :P Assault Pack should be good. 1 Crossbow and 2 other items (grenades).

On US 100, a hacker placed a bunch of ammo crates in front of me, which had 5 of every item in the game inside it.

I thought this thread was going to be "If you die in DayZ, you can no longer play". Thank God it wasn't. Anyway, I'm indifferent on this honestly.

Bronies are everywhere. Bronies have even managed to set up several mercenary corporations (Equestria Royal Guard and Eridani Light Pony) on Mechwarrior Online before the open beta has even been launched. That is the last place I would have expected them to show up. A game about giant walking tanks from an 80's boardgame, full of ponies. Really odd.

But I like the PDW and Kobra. :(

Did you even read the thread? Kneejerking assholes could learn or thing or two if you absorbed information before you commented on it.
